NEW ORPHANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.--The hur- ricae warning for the east gulf of Mexico and the predictions of frost for the extreme northwestern portion of the belt caused wide advances in the cotton market today following weakness in the early session when prices were depressed 40 to GA points in sympathy with very poor Liver pool, caused, arcording to private cablegrams by Manchester selling, thereby leading to the impression that the mill labor situation contin- ued unfavorable. Once started up- ward the market held it's gains well and went to it's highest in the late tradings when the list showed gains of 27 to 83 points over yesterdays close. December rising to 21.86. In the early trading December fell off to 2O.8O. The close was at 21.70 for December with the active months at net gains for the day of 27 to 70 points.
 The weekly reports on the crop were, if anything more favorable than expected but they caused no selling of consequence.
 The cotton market closed steady at netsadvance of 2tc to 27 points.

LXXV In High Dudgeon

Clinton Dawes car ran beautifully and rapidly the next morning-as far as a single gallon of gasoline owuld take it. Then the motor caughed, spat and died. The man at the garage had done his part for which Dix Randall had paid.
 A few minutes after Clinton Dawes made the discovery that he was some thirteen miles from Newport with not drop of gasoline in his tank, Dix Randall's blue roadster hove into view.
 Barbara De Haven, driving with Dawes was delighted to see him.
 "Oh, hello! Whats up?" said the artist halting his car.
 Dawes was in high dudgeon. He was furious at what had happened But he tried manfully to make a jest of it. He explained his plight.
 "And there's no filling station near," said Randall. Why you are just the same as shipwrecked, aren't you?"
 "If I could telephone for service car" began Dawes.
 "Oh, leave that to me-" suggested Dix Randall. "I'll drive back to the city and get one out to you right away. wasn't going anywhere es- pecially.
 Dawes smiled. That was very nice of MT. Randall to be sure.
 Then the painter of miniatures looked at Barbara.
 Perhaps Mrs. De Haven would like to drive back with me- he suggested "It would be wait out here of at least an hour or maybe more."
 Barbara looked at Dawes.
 He looked at Randall, concealine the hate he felt for this man who ccnfound him, was always bobbing up with interference of some kind. He was worse than the other, the en-

COTTON MARKET TRADING SLACKS
 AFTER VIOLENCE:

New York, Sept. While there were further violent price move today was decidedly less active and the excitement of the earlier week appeared to be subsidng. December sold off to 21.95 during the earlier trading, under continuation of re- cent pressure but later rallied to 22.90, or 30 points above last nigth's final quotations. October was rela- lively weak during the entire day, closing at 24.40, or 60 points net lower, while other months showed net advances of 35 B points, all though the tone of the market was barely steady.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of 8 to 50 points in re- sponse to weak Liverpool cables, un- favorable goods trade advices and renewal of southern hedge selling. There was good deal of covering, but was readily supplied and before the end of the morning active months showed net losses of 30 to 80 points with October selling at 24.20 and January at 21.15. Reports that local firms were receiving inquiries from the southwest regarding the cost of rendering cotton on contracts here may have been partly responsible for the weakness of October.
 Other advices reaching the trade, however, indicated a slightly steadier spot basis and better spot demand in the southwest, while the southern hedge selling which has been so prominent for the past several days, was found to be much less active. This, with the failure of the bearish weekly weather report to stimulate fresh offerings, led to more active covering during the afternoon and the demand became more urgent on the predictions for frost in northern parts of the western belt. October rallied to 24.75 and January to 22.23, with last prices showing reac tions of few points from the best. The government crop report and cen sus ginnings reports have been post poned from Saturday until Monday.

couraged him to pay her attention Perhaps Randall himself was in love with her, he thought. The engineel also was with her great deal and the two men were friends. If they were rivals, how could one justify their seeming attachment for each other? He could not figure it out He did not suspect they were aligned together against him. But his trip back to New York was far from being a pleasant one.
 Barbara had been nice to him however. She was always that, sweet and gracious and friendly. But he had been interrupted. That first morning when the blue roadster fol- lowed his car, had been spoiled for him the moment Randall and La Farge joined them. True, he had Barbara to himself in his own car but he could not shake off the feel ing that the other two men were there close behind. So really, he had not had her to himself.
 Then the cursed carelessness of the garage man in failing to fill his gas oline tank had brought him the hu- initiation as we'll as disappointment He was sickened and tired of New port. He would be glad when Bar b&ra left there, for he felt so drawn to her side, that as long as she stay ed he would be bound to return. He positively hated the place, though he had told her he was fond of it.
 Then, with the more pressing thing, his work at New York taking posses sion of his mind, he began planning details of operations. And as the wheels of the Pullman clicked at the rail joints it beat out rythm to Barbara De Haven's statement that kept on running through his mind:
 "I should hate to be poor! I should hate to be poor! should hate to be poor!"

gineer.
 "If you don't mind, think should better do that" said Barbara.
 "Oh, yes, indeed, that is perfectly all right?" Dawes was compelled to say He helped her into Randall's car and saw them drive off together. Then he found shade nearby in which to wait for the service car.
 Randall kept his promise to send it, but he got Barabara's consent to continue the drive with him and they stayed until late for luncheon. And that afternoon he left her in the care of Bob La Farge, who was to accom- pany her and call on some friends.
 Dawes drove his car back to the hotel, sent it in disgust to the ga- rage and that afternoon took train to New York. He was indignant over the failure of his trip to Newport if he had been able to foresee such results, he should have stayed in New York where the work he had un- dertaken there, the breaking of John De Haven, really was progressing. He had lost valuable time. Now he would go back to Wall Street and open fire again on The De Haven Company, taking it by surprise.
 He had fought from the first from ambush. He would keep under cover throughout the campaign. He felt it was dangerous to disclose his identi- ty, for then he could not attain his objective, Barbara herself. It would call forth all his skill and cleverness to do it but he was fighting for the greatest desire of his life.
 On the way from Newport he thought of his two days spent there He recalled with frown how Ran- dall and La Farge had embarrassed him and wondered if it had been done by design. He had seen them with Barbara a great deal. In fact it was his seeing Dix Randall with her in New York in the late winter that en-

Make Progress
 Towards Unity

Geneva, Sept. 29.-Great progress toward Christian unity among the denominations of the world as a means to "better world" is said to have been made by the World Con- ference on Faith and Order held here in August. Robert H. Gardiner of Gardiner, Maine, secretary of the American Episcopal church, spoke of it as "the most important gather ing of Christians held since the schism between the Eastern and Western churches thousand years ago.
 "Men from forty countless" said MT. Gardiner, "have represented here all the great churches through out the world that confess Jesus Christ as the Son of God-made man. except the Church of Rome.
 "There has been frank discussion of the differences between them, but in the earnest desire to understand and appreciate each other and to abandon the spirit of controversy The minds of all have been given to 1 the effort to reach that visible un- Iity of Christians which is the only evidence potent to convince and te convert the world to Christ.
 "The meeting has grown toward 2 closer brotherhood and our hope Ii sure that great step forward ha: been taken toward Christian unity
 "The delegates to the conference included leaders of prominence from many lands. Some of them spoke tongues, strange to nearly all fo th' delegates and at times there wal difficulty in finding interpreters.
