COTTON RALLIES BUT

 TO HIGHEST FIGURES

New Orleans. May 31. After open. ing somcw hat lower under scattered selling apparently induced by higher condition figures than expected from a local newspaper and favorable DIT vatc weather advices, the cotton mar ket rallied. but the advance dld not hold and final prices showed a net gain of only points on July and H net loss of 13 to ID points on the new crops.
 Aside from the private condition report of 671 per cent, some uncer- taiuty was evidently aroused by the fear that speculative sentiment might be unsettled when the eastern markets open Tuesday because of the passage of the bonus bill by the house of rep rcscntatives and the announcement that the federal reserve discount rate had been raised to ' per cent for com mcrcial paper in several districts.
 On the other hand reactionary sen timent was restrained by q desire to await publication of the bureau report dua WnlnpSd morning.

Sometimes 1 have wondered, in my up-anddown career, If it isn't a misfortune to be born woman. Men seem to have so much the best of it in this rough world. Men can hit back-can get the better of Tony and his kind, for instance.
 That Tony was at the bottom of Alice's infolmat l felt sure. In spite of all his misdeeds, l had no doubt they were good friends again. Alice has no real pride-or common sense. As long as her infatuation for a man lasted she would overlook end less snubs, insults, and deceitful actions.
