NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, July Although cotton was depressed today from the opening the tone was fairly steady in the late trading and realizing by own CTS of short contracts served to check the declining tendency which became pronounced in the early hours. The net change for the day was 3 decline of 34 to 52 points with the distant months showing wider losses than the near months thus reversing the condi- tions of yesterday.
 Favorable weather over the belt probably stimulated as much selling as any other factor, although a south ern papers figures on condition of 76.6 per cent of normal, indicating a crop of 13,100,000 bales was mainly responsible for the lower opening and caused much selling for sometime af- ter. Poor cables were further in- centive. The market lost ground until October stood at 31.O5 and March was at 29.30 and the loss was 52 to 69 points under the final prices of yes- terday. During the second half of the session reactions were at times strong enough to carry prices back to within about 10 to 20 points of yesterdays close but the recoveries did not hold well. Another private condition re- port of 73 indicating crop of 12,- 100000 helped values somewhat after midsession.

Run on POnZi
 Interests Lasts

Boston, July 29l-Thc thrce-day run on the coffcrs of Charles Ponzi, by doubtng investors in his quick rich scheme of international postage exchange, continued today while new believers in the possibility of ab- normal profit, took their money to d rival q few blocks away.
 Ponzi having agreed with District Attorney Pelletter to accept no fur thcr deposits until investigation of accts had been made, stood in his en- largcd officces and saw everything going out, with no new funds coming in; but, although payments in the last two days are estimated to have exceeded a million dollars, he was hcnoring every demand. His rival foreign exchange company, with a promise of 50 per cent profit in 45 days, was taking all the money pre- scented, with no immediate payments to be made. There was fair sized crowd at each place.
 Meanwhile, investigation of the operations of both excchangc brokers was under way.

is all over, this voyage" she mur- mured.
 He took her in his arms.
 "Then we'll make it as long as you like," he promised.
 John De Haven did not ask why she wanted the voyage to last long time. Nor did she offer an expla- nation. He thought he understood her, but did not. It was his infer ence that she loved the yacht and the sea. He was wrong. She was alone with him at last and he, with her that was why. But it wassnot voiced, more's the pity for John De Haven felt the same way himself. ::
 The sun set in blaze of color. There Were clouds, bank on bank, their varying shades played in sharp contrast one. against another. They looked at it in 1awed admiration.
 "It is so beautiful," said Barbara, her lips apart.
 "A fitting close to our most won derful day." said the happy bride groom, meeting her mood.
 She put her graceful hands upon his chest, looked up into his eyes. He fondled her round, slender wrists.
 May it be the beginning of many wonderful days for us, dear John," she said feverently.
 "My prayer, too, my sweet bride," answered the man.
 "We can make them like that, you know,' Barbara went on, happy in the thought that they both could and would. Hers was confidence that went far. She believed in him, her husband, and in behalf. She did not test the extent of her confidence in others. It had not yet occurred to her that others mattered.
 "And we shall, ever and always" said John De Haven, almost devout- ly.

TREND OF COTTON PRICESL0WER; CLOSE
 IS AT AN ADVANCE

New York, July 29.-The trend of cotton prices was lower most of the day but good buying developed at the decline especially in October and the market had sharp recovery in the late afternoon. At lowest levels of the day 1t was 45 to 78 points under the previous night, but at thes close was very steady at net decline of 10 to 45 points.
 bearlsh news predominated at the outset. Selling forced October down to 32 cents; December to 3o61 and January to 29.97 Efforts to replacc sales in the afternoon advanced Octo- Der back to 32.47 and other months to almost the best point of the day.
 While local spot houses bought Oc- tober there was selling of contracts by southwestern spot interests. Texas reports indicated that gins are com mencing to run full time and that yields in some sections are going as high as bale to the acre.

Had Barbara said "I've never been to Greenland" John De Haven would have told the captain to go there. For now that she was his own, his ut most desire was to build happiness around her and for her. That was patent in everything he said and did, in the provision he had made for her comfort on board the palatial yacht that was at once their pride and joy.
 They stood at the rail looking at the skyline of New York as the city faded gradually from view. Now it was blue haze, low line of in- distinguishable irregularities which they knew to be the proud skyscrap- CT buildings. At last the land fad ded completely and they were alone on the Atlantic save for another craft, a heavy freighter, that ploughed in from across seas making for Hell Gate.
 The yacht California rose to the swell buoyantly, the engines send ing her along at an eighteen-knot clip. The happy owner was pleas ed with the speed the yacht show ed.
 Almost as good as motoring, eh, Barbara ?" he insisted, enthusiastical- ly. "You know she can do better than this, really. The chief engi- neer told me he got twenty-four out of the engines on the trial trip"
 "Oh, think it is all splendid" said the girl. "But am not particular ly eager for speed on this trip Her lashes dropped, demurely.
 "What's that, my girl ?" he asked. They were alone on the quarter deck, leaning over the rail and looking at the churning wake.
 "I'd be happy if we were crawling" said the bride, daring to look into his eyes. q shall be sorry when it

Their steward came to announce dinner. They were to dine alone in the saloon.
 Barbara was delighted when she saw the elaborate service. The sill yer was the yachts own and was marked with a e." It's design was exquisite. She saw also that the napery was of the best, selected with great care and without regard to cost. The china, also marked, was of the finest imported quality and trimmed heavily. with gold. Her breath was quite taken away with the richness of it all. She did not know that John De Haven had bougt it all per sonally, that with every single pur- chase she had been in his thoughts, that he had examined and selected every detail of the equipment with the one idea in mind-to please her, his bride. Anne Miller had been right.
 They did not have to order. The perfect menu was served silently, with Adeftness and deference by a waiter that had attended them many times as Sherry's. Barbara did not recognize him at first. She did at length and spoke to John about it.
 "Yes, I got him from Sherry's," he admitted . "You always were so pleased with the way he served us there." he explained.
 "You dear!' she exclaimed. "A mere detail," he protested, but happily.
 "And I never suspected you of hav- ing an eye for detail at all," she said. ooh, indeed, I have," he laughed. "That is my speciality For instance l have observed an adorable mole on your chin. It is beautiful. There!' He had come around the table to kiss her.
