New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, March 20. Extreme, ly heavy selling came upon the cottor market today as the result of the un favorable German news, the refusal of the senate to ratify the peace treaty and somewhat larger total ginning figures for this season than expected. The first burst of selling opened the market at lower levels and losses were rapidly widencd. Et- fcctive support was offered as the market declined and before the scs- sion was very old strong recovery got under way. A little later aggrcs- sive selling started again, being par ticularly strong in the new crop positions, and great dea lof liqui- dation ensued, on the close the mar kct showed net declines of l3 to 32 pointr.

This meant that from the open ing of the exchange Monday until the end of trading in the present March contract on Thursday there would be no arbitrary limit on the fluctuations.

Having ascertained that l was looking quite my best, I sped along the passage towards Jim's room Excitement had brought a wild rose flusk to my checks, and a curious sense of happiness possessed me. For Jim-although he'd lost alT recollec- ton of my real idcntity--wanted my companionship, my presence near him!
 It was large room that he Occu- pied. A big fire was burning in teh grate. Jim's bed was partially in shadow.
 His mother was arranging some medicine bottles on bureau-top in one corner of the room.
 She turned as I entered, smiling, and laying a warning finger to her lips. ssh I think he's sleeping!' She tiptoed across the room, and joined me. "J'll leave you for little, if you don't mind-I want to write some letters" She indicated chair close to Jim's bed, and facing him. Ii you'd just sit there, my dear, and watch him. He fell asleep quite sud denly-but he may wake just as quickly. And-if he wants anything just call me--my rooms next door

Propose to Make
 Seaplane an Aid
 to the Fisherman

Wilmington, N. C., March golf plans now under way are perfected in time. this spring will bring an ln- novation in the fishing industry, which will be revolutionary in its effect.
 The scheme now being worked out provides for the use of seaplancs as a regular part of the fishing equip- ment. The idea upon which 1t IS based is that the alrplanes will be able to spot the fish and signal their position to the waiting boats below.
 The schools of Menhaden which will infest the Carolina waters a lit tie later in the season will be at one great disadvantage that those ot other years didn't have to worry over. Formerly, if the fish kept out of sight of the spotter sitting ln the mast some 40 or 50 feet above the deck of the boats. they were safe. If they passed just beyond tho range of his vision-why, miss was as good as q mile. He might cruise and circle for days. as was oft en done, and never get them.
 Range of Vision Great.
 But with the introduction of tho scaplane into the fishing business the chance of not being spotted art cut to an absolute minimum. Int i range { of vision from4 the yyseaplhne combined with it's great speed, com lpayed to the range and speed of , boat; will be the measure by whicii TIE chances for the fish are reduced

New York Sugar.

New York, March 20.Thc local market for sugar continues strong and prices were quarter cent higher, making new high ground for the movement and an advance of about 1-2 cent during the past week. There were further sales made on an f. 0. b. basis at II cents and this morning there were sales of Cubas to local refiner for March-April shipment at II 1-2 cents cost and freight equal to 15.54 for centrifugals, at which price the market closed.
 In refined prices were unchanged at 14 to 16 cent for fine granulatcd. There is good inquiry and deliver ies are said to be improving locally although there is still some com plaint in regard to the country dcliv- cries.
 Futures were firmcr in sympathy with raws and closed unchanged tc five points net higher, with modcr- ate inquiry from trade sources May sold at 11.8O, June at 1l.60 and July at 11.6O. Total sales for the day were 550 tons.

out for the dark spots on the water A school of fish shows up from a seaplanc only as dark spot on an otherwise blue sheet. it is said. When promising spot is located the plane swoops down and lnvcsti- gates. If the pilot finds that his suspicious are correct he signals for the nearest boat-and school is about out so far as that particular bunch of fish are concerned.
 >Nor is it thought that the new method will greatly increase the cost of operations. One plane, it is con tended, will be able to do the spot ting for q number of boats. While one boat is hauling in one school the same plane will be finding other schools for the other boats. The new system will provide for number of boats to go out together, spreading out in localities where the fish are likely to be found.
 Will Save Much Time. This method probably will not dis pcnse, at any rate not at first, with any of those now relied on by the fishing vessels for locating thcli game. It is intended merely as supplement to and improvement or the present system.
 The only item that has kept tho fishing business from being trc mcndously profitable one is that th' 1 time lost in finding the fish con sumcs a large part of the part of thu profit.
