NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, July 6. Most of the activity in today's trading in cotton was damned into the last few min utes ot the session when prices were forced upward until they stood 45 to 52 points higher than the class of last week, October touching 3S.20. Last prices showed net gains of 32 to 42 points.
 During the greatest part of the day the market was listlcss. In the carly trading Impressions were caused by poor cables and d rather favorable view of weather conditions and on the selling that resulted, net declines Of 15 to 23 points were made. This was the low of the day. Subsequently the market reacted until it stood sev- en to 26 points over the final prices of last week but from this the mar ket sagged off again to about net un- changed levels

 Again and again she stiffened at recalling his vow. Every time she stiffened a little bit more until, at last, she was actually rebellious to- ward him. Then, when she realized she could not sleep because of him, she became belligerent as to herself. WEich kept her gray eyes open and straight out into the dark. Sleep had left her eyes-it had not yet come to put its burden upon their lids.
 Proud! Indeed Barbara Kendall was proud, as proud as John De Haven or any other De Haven of the name though she did not think of it in just that defiant way. In fact she never had measured her own acts, her own pride or her own outlook against that of another. She had her own high standards as they affected her. She never searched for the things so much that concerned others. In which she might have made mistake, for then she could have gotten to the facts about herself as human being.

The Speeders
By Kathleen Fox

r ,y did not do things after that fashion in California, thought Bar bara Kendall that night on her pill low. Nor did "they" do things that way in New York or Newport, had she but known, for, truth to tell, there was only one John De Haven.
 The girl had gone to her room with the departure of the guests, thinking amusedly of John De Haven. For he had amused her tremendously. In fact he had entertained her. He had shown her a type that she was ready Ito believe existed nowheIia except in New York and she always was interested in new things.
 Besides, he had been wonderful dinner companion in spite of his love- making. Really it had not embar- rassed her very much. Certainly it had not annoyed her. She confessed that to herself. (John De Haven would have given his earnings in the market the following week to have known that.)
 But she did stiffen little at re- membrance of what he had said to her as they left each other. "You will marry me, for so help me God, 1 am going to marry you!"
 That was going it pretty strong, even for new type, she thought.
 For John De Haven was no more the thoroughbred than Barbara Ken dall. Behind her she had just as long list of ancestors as he, and knew about them, too. And the Ken dalls had been proud for many gen. erations, quite as many, in fact, as the De Ravens had enjoyed "thor- oughbred" as the family tribute.

She met that night. And -rebuked her self for comparing John De Haven with them and letting all others suf- fer. (There can be no estimate on what John De Haven would have giv- en to know that!)

 Then sixty minutes later, it struck three.
 Barbara heard the chime and counted them with increasing, alarm every hour. She became. apprehen- sive as to how she would appear the next day at a reception to which, as Mrs. Beckley Hewitt's guest, she had been invited.
 So at length she became panicky and in answer to what John De Haven had said, made a VOW of her own.
 "I won't marry him." she resolved. "And even if I did, I'd make him think l never would!"
 Then she slept.
