BULLISH WEATHER
 ADVISES SEND-UP
 PRICES OF COTTON

New York. Oct. Almost scnsationally bullish weather and crop ndyiccs led to further active buying iu the cotton marl ct this morning and sent prices into new high ground for the movement. December contracts sold at 33f7 or F points above the closing price of yesterday and 2S7 points above the low level touched at the end of last week. A reaction to 33.23 fol lowed under pre- holiday realizing and that month closed ut '}i.3S with thc gen cral list closing steady nt net advance of | to 35 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of % to 4h points on the reports of heavy general rains in western sections of the belt and bullish overnight spot adviccs. January soon sold up to 33.% and March to :3.i5 with active months generally show ing net gains of 3U tn 5o points. Janunry reacted to 33.1S and March to 33.14 but the close was several points up from the lowest on report that killing frost had extended Hs far south as Northern Okla hOma.
 The heavy rains reported tn more west crn sections of the belt increased anxiety over the question of better grades, while the low temperatures north of the belt led to npprehcnsions of cold wave in the south before rc-opcniug of the market on Tuesday morning. Liverpool was closed to- day but sent good many buying orders to this market and will be open to trade on Monday when the American markets will be closed

High Low Close Close
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans Oct II. Excessive raln fall in the western belt caused the buying movement in cotton to continue today and it forced prices to new high levels for the week. Expected frostS did not matcrinlizc but the rains were considered So damaging that the loss of intenxity by the cold wave had effect on values. The opening was higher and in the earlier trading went 2S to 54 points over the close of yesterday. This was the high level of the day. Rcalz ing sales from the long side set in and caused small reactions. The tendency to react persisted to the close, which was at net advances for the session of ii to 2S points.
 At the highest of the day October traded at 34.O5. Spots were raised H points on middling which carried the price to A3. Spot quotations were revised, low mid ding being advanced S7 points, strict low middlng 112 and all other grades 31 points.

 Crittenden was inexcusably ex- travagant. remonstrated mildly, the mlldness of my protest being due in part to the fear that l might dis please him again while my natural feminine desire for the pretty things was responsible for the rest.
 But he laughed at me and took me to one store after another.
 "I car afford it." he argued proud ly. "Why shouldn't l buy things for you?'
 "lou've already bought loads of things, Crittenden," l remarked. "rhe house, the furniture and fur nishings, and I've got some new clothes that I haven't even worn yet"
 "I don't care," he cried gaily. "Coue on, let's look at hats. l saw a beauty down at Ferries this morn ing"

 He look a little confused.
 "Yes, 1 was down that way on business and saw it," he replied, "but I believed he had had no busi- ness whatever in the neighborhood of Ferries except that he had been driven there by his remorse to look at something for me.
 "I saw plainly enough that he wanted to load me with gifts and thus make up with me. And he was making up most successfully, for beautiful things, such as Crit tenden got for me that afternoon r,,rchasing them, forcing them on

 When it was all over, most of the afternoon was gone, but 1 had a Glaraond brooch, love of wrist watch, handsome hat, a new set of furs and toilet articles in silver to be engraved. Also had, deep in my heart, which had been soften ed more by Crittenden desire to do something for me than what he had done, the fervent hope that we might always be as happy as we had been that afternoon.
 "Ncw, Crittenden," I suggested "I'd better leave you and take the train home. You are going back to the cefic., aren't you?" It was yet an hour before closing time and l knew he was always the last to leave his place of business. He held that by so doing he set a fine ex- ample for his employees.
 "Nc. indeed, you don't," Critten- den declared. "Well get the car ;.nd dr,ve out. It is such beau tiful aftcrnccr, we'll enjoy motoring along the drive"
 We had done our shopping on foot so we walked to Crittenden's office to get the car. We were strolling along, looking at the show windows gcnce that Crittenden seldom allcw- ed when I was with him. So l had further proof that he was sorry for his U .atment of me and was anxious to make amends.
