FURTHER SEVERE BREAKS FEATURE
 COTTON MARKET

New York, Oct. 16.-There was a market today with all deliveries making new low records, December contracts selling as low as 1860 and closed at that level with the general list closing at net decline of 6i to 100 points.
 Nervousness over the British la bor situation was increased by ru- mors that railway workers were like ly to strike in support of the coal miners following a conference sched- uled for Wednesday. This doubtless contributed to the weakness of the market which was also influenced by reports of continued or even greater depression in the goods trade at home and abroad The main factor however, according to local brokers was the continued pressure of offer ings from the south. There were lar ger spot sales in the Texas mark cts yesterday at new low record prices With middling quoted below the 20 cent level at one of the larger in terior points, and much of the hedge selling reported this morning came from that quarter.
 At the start orders were not badly divided, although first prices wer, | Is to 30 points net lower on most months and there were slight bulges right after the call. Recent buy, CTS for reaction appeared to have lost what little confidence they may have had owing to the continuance of unfavorable general conditions and when slight rallies ran into in. creased southern selling, liquidations became active. Brokers with Wal street connectionse were particular ly active sellers on the break ,whicf extended to 19.48 for October; 1928 for January and 1885 for May. Last prices were at the low point of tho day. Sales of print cloths at Fal River for the week were estimated at only 5000 pieces and curtailment ot production there was reported the heaviest so far this season.
 The cotton market closed weak.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-Cotton was depressed from the opening, today by the coal strike in England, slump ing almost continually and showing no recuperative power, reaching it's lowest on the close which was weak at losses of 105 to 200 points. Oc- tober was the weakest month, fall ing 200 points to 1910, the f,>l limit allowed fluctuations in any one ses- sion under the rules of the cotton exchange. Heavy liquidation was felt, especially around mid-session when an important long line was thrown over board, according to floor comment.
 Selling was further stimulated by the undoubtedly favorable weather map. but little rain being shown ov- CT the belt, while the forecast call ed for renewed dry weather throuh-

favors. They were inseperable al ten they went out together with her each delighted with the arrangement They tramped a lot and often drove out together, the three packed into the engineers big roomy roadster.
 There might have been gossip but for two conditions, that of the uneX- plained friendship of the two men who evidently courted her and yet were devoted to each other, and the fact that Mrs. Beckley Hewitt loved Barbara as her own daughter, and would not permit it if she knew. Sc tongues willing enough to wag kept silent. But these conditions could not prevent eager brains from think ing what they pleased.
 There was a flutter of excitement at the camp one day. A third man arrived on the scene while the two friends, Dix Randall and Bob La Fa1ge, were absent, driving in the lat ter's high powered car.
 MT. Clinton Dawes drove to the camp and inquired for Mrs. De Haven and she had driven off with him as laughingly as she could have gone with either the painter of miniatures or the big engineer.
 | After that MT. Dawes come ire qUently, as frequently as he dared had they but known it, for he already had reached the conclusion that for some reason best known to them selves, the engineer and the artist confound them, had set themselves tc oppose him. They had repeated their annoyance of him begun at Newport They were interfering with him con- stantly. But at times he came when they were absent and then had his in- ming.
 Dawes and Barbara were just get ting into his car one afternoon when La Farge's roadster roared around the curve in the smooth road and came to stop abreast them. Dix Randall was with the engineer as us- ual. Dix liked the high speed possi- bic in the car of his friend and rare- ly drove his blue roadster when the

big one was available.
 Are you tired of motoring?" Bar. ba1a asked them as she got into the Dawes car. ".
 ooh, no, indeed" said Bob La Farge promptly.
 "We were going for little drive, said Barbara, wouldn't you like tc come along and let MT. Dawes show us his lodge ?"
 ooh, have you lodge near here MT Dawes 2" asked Bob La Farge whc knew the exact location of it, having ascertained that with Dix Randall tho day after their arrival from New York
 Dawes said he had. And that he she ould be glad to show Mrs. Dc Haven and them the lodge if they would come along. They went, glat of the opportunity.
 Dix Randall and Bob La Farge de. tested Clinton Dawes. More, they de. tested the idea of being his guests But their devotion to Barbara over balanced their detest of him so they yielded and became his guests.
 While at the Dawes lodge they made the most of close observations They examined everything as care fully as possible without running the risk If exciting the owners ready suspicion. TsxITyl
 The lodge was almost hidden by { thick growth of trees. These grew so close that the sunlight was exclud ed save for an open space over tho lodge itself. It was aff the mair road full three hundred yards ant would be passed quite without notice by motorists. It was retreat tha' had it's own attractions if one liked hidden things, but La Farge ant Randall disliked it at once. They were glad to get away from it.
 But they had the lay of the land when they left, also the approaches to the buildings which were chartet in their minds. No details that came within their vision escaped them.

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, Oct. 16.-Therc were further sales reported in the local raw sugar market today and while prices were nominally unchanged at 2 cents for Cubas cost and freight, equal to eight cents for centrifugal, it was believed that operators would pay above this level for prompt ship ments while offerings were light.
 The demand for refined sugar con- tinues of fair proportions and prices are steadily held at former levels of II cents for fine granulated.
 There was only quiet trade in sugar futures but prices were high CT, reflecting the steadier feeling in the spot market and closing quota tions showed advances of 23 to 65 points, October showing the maxi mum gain.

All months made new low levels for the season and October fell to the low est price yet quoted this season on spot month. October was not partic- ularly active, a few sales serving to break it but buyers were even fewer than sellers.

XC. The Ledge of Clinton Dawes.


 A recklessness of spirit seemed tt possess Barbara De Haven at Mrs Beckley Hewitt's camp. Those de voted to her did not observe it. Mrs Beckley Hewitt, long since, by hel own confession, having ceased to be deeply in love with her husband ol to receive much attention from him passed it by. It was her philosophy that love was fleeting thing.
 Nor did Bob La Farge and Dix Ran dall take cognizance of the fact tha the woman to whom they were mu tually devoted was the lightest heart ed, gayest person in the party. They found her delightful and attractive but did not see that her manner hat changed in the slightest. They hae championed her too stoutly to become her critic now.
 But others saw. And they arrived at conclusions of their own regard ing her. There was no hint of scan dal. None talked. There was not enough to talk about even among in- innate friends, but the impression was made that Barbara De Haver could not be very much in love with her husband and find other men SC engaging and entertaining.
 She acted at all times with utmost propriety. Her pride would not have let her do anything else, but she was courted like an unmarried woman like girl. Certainly they under stood for they were clever-had not Mrs. Beckley Hewitt, sticker fol cleverness brought them hither?- how it was perfectly within the con- vetnions for married woman to re- ceive little attentions from men other than her husband. But she allowed Dix Randall and Bob La Farge to pay her more than little attentions. At least that was the appearance of the first two weeks of the stay in the mountains.
 What puzzled, however, was the fact that she was equally devoted apparently, to each of these two men Nor yet were they rivals for her
