R. D. Burgers Letter

New Orleans, July es-The trend of val
 ues continued downward this morning,
 owing to generally favorable weather in the interior and liquidation. influenced by monthly private crop reports indicat ing a somewhat larger yield than was promised last month
 Other overnight developments, however, were bullish, the marine workers strike and the Liverpool dock strike having been finally settled, which is likely to be re- ] flected in larger exports in the immediate future. Although lacking confirmation in New York financial circles press advices from Berlin report completion of a'floan to German interests of S100 900, 900 for the purpose of buying commodities in Amer ica.
 Returns to the Watkins bureau, New York, average the condition of the crop at 6S.S vs. 699 last month when the bu- reau was 70 pointing to a yield of about Ii. 300 600 bales exclusive of linters. Last month returns to the government prom ised production of 10,oS6, 900 bales with out linters. Unless the bureau report. due next Friday at 10 a. m.. New Orleans time. predicts a larger yield than forecastei by private returns, market is not likely to work much lower for the present.

From the Review.
 At 27. James had already fully defined his attitude towards the American raw ness and poverty. and towards the Eu- ropean richness and ripeness of scene. He was infatuated with the picturesque, the antique. He was devoted to tho ob- servation and discrimination of ''sensa. tions." Romance for him meant the re- fined cxcitation of a highly cultured memory Love for his leisurely dilet- tanteish heroes is passion to be dread ed and avoided till it becomes a part of their general appreciation of formal grace. and its object an element in a pie ture. q gem in an appropriate setting, a note in harmony of agreeable impress sions- Any young woman who married one of James Europeanized exquisites would have frequent occasion for 1eal- ousy. She would not need to fear any vulgar infidelity, but she could never feel sure, one imagines. that the perfec- ton of her husbands devotion to her might not be marred or destroyed by some sudden devastating passion of his for view in the Campagna, a sculp- tured saint, or antique cameo. When we have said this, wc have explained readers a largo measure of refined de- light without ever quite satisfying the heart

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 29.-Early declines
 in cotton today resulted from great i'm
 prov vement in weather conditions in the
 interior and the decline was kept going
 in the afternoon by the generally lower spot markets of the country. Almost no attention was paid the bullish events Of
 the day, like the complete settlement of tho marine strike on this side of the
 water and the ending of the dock strike
 in Liverpool. Last prices were practic, ally the lowest of the day and showed net losses for tho session of P to IS points.
 Cables were not up to expectations ana
 the weather map did not reflect any
 rain of consequence in the belt. Early declines at their widest amount cd to s to .s points and from them there were recoveries until the trading months were only about 20 points down aet. The afternoon brought fresh weak ness, and selling was heaviest follow ing the quoting of spots here lower by a5 points. Markets in the interior. in several cases, reported much wider losses. Middling spots here closed at 33 15c against 3s.4lc, as the closing price ln October

Hubbard Bros. & O.. Letter

New York, July 2e-The market today was again easier, prices finally going un- der 34 cents for all active deliveries in the late afternoon. Weather conditions were very favorable the rain having practically ceased in the eastern belt and being clear and warm west of the river. There were scattered speculative 1iquida- ing orders in the market, the cotton be- ing taken slowly by American mills as prices declined.
 We did not note any particular foreign business to todays market. Various private reports came out indicating bu- reau of between sS and 70 on Friday which is about what the trade have been re- gently expecting the Journal of Commerce special report for the Carolinas and Geor- gia was very bad as to Georgia. but not as pessmisic as expected for the Caro- linas. Local sentiment is that with the improved weather report on Friday is likely to be on the more optimistic side and that therefore lower level of price in the immediate future would not be surprising. g.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Sugar Market.
 Bv AssOcisfad prsss

New York. July 29.-There was no change in the local raw sugar market with centrifugal quoted at FPS to the refiners. The weekly cable from Cuba reported continued heavy rains, which is very beneficial for the new crop, but is interfering with the harvest lpg of the present one. Receipts how ever, were larger than the previous week. but exports showed a sharp fall- ing off. due to the lack of tonnage as a result of the marine strike, although as this has been finally settled condi- tions will soon become normal. No sales were reported by>the board
 In refined there was no change in conditions in general. although with the settlement of the marine strike the ar rivals of raw sugar are expected to increase, thus allowing refiners to melt to capacity and take care of the ur- gent requirements. Meantime the de- mand is active, but new business is held in check, as most refiners are out of the market. Prices unchanged at 9c for fine granulated.

THE NEW LIFE


Roy Nicou was driving gang Of

tricians with . ruthless energy which
threatened to bring on revolt and
tie up work on the magnificent now
offices Of this magazine. woman. .
Nicoll at work was . different man
from the easy-going dilettante who
took Janet and Walter Stedman out
driving in his car. There was . whip
ping energy. an autocratic impatience,
in the man which Walt, who had seen
him only In his relaxation, would
never recognize as Nicolrs. Roy's
irritability on this particular morning
was worse than usual.
He had just come out Of the only
other completely furnished office be-
sides his own. It had been designed
for Janet. It was q marvel Of hars
mony and modernity Of equipment
It was studio, Office and study In one.
Nicoll had lavished his best thought
and much money upon It. Yet It
stood empty Of the one occupant for It
on whom Nicoll had set his heart
Janet would not come.
He had Just made up his mind to
MI her place with the editor of q
rival magazine and the gang working
under his spur was feeling the full
brunt of the displeasure his decision
brought with 1t. His secretary ap-
preached him.
"Larkin," Nicoll snapped. "Tele-
phone Miss Latham at the Home
Journal I want to SEQ her. Nothing's
to stand in the way Of her coming here
immediately"
"All right. SIR" Larkin replied. But
there's Mrs. stedman to see you"
What" NicoIl cried. 'Tll see her
at once--in that new office-the edit
or's--take her there! And never mind
Miss Latham!"
There was an instant change In the
man. Where before was the self-con-
suming irritability Of the man. who,
unused to being denied anything, has
been denied the one object he most
wanted. there was now triumphant
relief.
His secretary ushered Janet into the
office where Nicoll awaited her. She
had come In no pleasant or apprecia-
tive mood. Her decision to accept the
post he offered her had brought her
no pleasure. But the irresistible charm
of the room in which she found her
self caught her up out Of her gray and
lifeless mood.
what beautiful-what beautiful
room!" she cried. "And what view!
We're above the world. Is this your
Officer"
A glow lit Nicoll's eyes.
Not is your office, II you say
sol" he said. his eyes on hers.
Her manner changed.
"Yes--Ive come to accept what you
offered me-if you are still Of the
same mind" she said. sudden I'm.
easiess in her manner. She read in
the room about her the wealth at the
mans command and the free hand
: with which he meant to lavish 1t upon
his new and entertaining enterprise
and upon the woman who should be.
come its head.
"Splendid!" Nicoll4 exclaimed. seiz-
ing Janet's hand and pump-handling
1t delightedly "Now we'll beat the
world"
Then little silence fell between
them. Both thought the same thing.
What does Walt say" Nicoll asked
quickly: then as quickly changed his
question: How Is he doing with his
free-lancing?"

do not think your kissing him
made him think any the less Of you.
His asking you to marry him showed
that he had great respect and love
for you. It Is not best, however. for
. girl to kiss q man unless she loves
him enough to marry him.
It was all right to answer his letter.
Perhaps when he returns home and
resumes his former habits he will
think about you again and will make
an effort to see you. Probably his a.
nances are low and he does not feel
he can stand the expense Of = visit.
Do not hope too much. however. The
best thing you can do Is to firmly
make up your mind TO forget him and
to enjoy other friends.
