cliff. The faint light revealed the side
walls and low roof, and the girl, again
partially mistress of herself, recog-
nized the nature of the rock to be lime

Her view was limited TO the slight
radius fiumined by the lantern, and
even within that small area, her own
shadow, and those of the three men,
helped render everything in~distlnct.
They had turned a sharp corner, and
advanced a few feet beyond when the
man with the lantern stopped sudden

In that dim light-a bit of wood which
slid back to reveal a heavy iron bolt,
shot firmly into the stone. This the
Mexican forced back and an opening
yawned in the side wall, the rays OF

Coffee Market
 By Associated Press

New York, January H.-There was fur ther liquidation in the market for coffee futures today owing to the unsettled rul- era1 conditions as reflected in the action of the stock and cotton markets. The opening was 13 to 25 points lower and active months sold 2 to 30 points below last nights closing figures during the middle of the day, with May touching 15.S0c. Offerings then tajered off and the market steadied in the later trading on covering, prompted by higher late cables from Santos May closed at 15.sSc, with the general list showing a net decline of 21 to 2 points. January, 1550c; March 15.65c May, 15.Ssc; July, 16.0Sc: Septem- Der, 15.SSc; October. 15.74c: December 15.55c.

CORN PROGRESSED IN .UPW ARD DIRECTION
 ON ROUGH WEATHER
Oats Seesawed, While Pro- visions Varied From 2c Down to a Gain of
 20c for the Day
By Associated Press

Chicago. January H.-Corn made fur ther progress today toward higher price level Unfavorable weather for the crop movement was largely responsible, the close. however, was weak ranging from 7c net decline to 1Ac advance, with May a.35@1.35t and July S.s22s@l.S2a Oats finished 1ac eff to Ac up, and pro visions varying from % down to zoe gain.
 Nos only weather conditions, but the outlook in other respects appeared to be against any rarid accumulation of sup plies of corn here and bears were corre- spondingly discouraged. The fact that re- ceipts were not large and that demand was good made the January delivery cspe- cially firm. During most of the day there was no evidence of any selling pressure on the market other than from pit specu- lators In the last 15 minutes of trading though, something of a sinking spell was witnessed, the result apparently of proht taking sales by longs, and of talk before morning that all railroads east of Buffalo might be tied up by snow.
 Oats were inclined to lag owing to ab- sence Of export bids Besides, domestic also was limited.
 Provisions reflected depression of for eign exchange but rallied later as re- suit of estimates that swine on farms were much less numerous than a year ago.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January N--Opening at the decline today, the cotton market held an easy tone throughout the session and closed at the lowest levels. the trading months showing losses of 62 to 7S points. Selling appeared to be about equally di- vided between the two accounts. there being much liquidation from the long side. while considerable short cotton was fed out to the ring from the start.
 The opening was lower in sympathy with a poor Liverpool and selling lr- creased on the labor troubles in Italy. For while the decline was prevented from gaining much headway by the cold and wet weather in the western belt ana the forecast of more bad weather Tor the belt generally, but the extreme weak ness of foreign exchange rates hnaiiy turned the seals. Also, lss anxiety was felt over weather conditions after reports came in from the eastern belt claiming that new crop preparations were ahead or the normal in the Atlantics.
 Late in the day selling was heavier than ever, apparently on expectations or unfavorabie European news in the morn ing and rumors of weavers' strike al Manchester.
 Foreign exports for the day amounteu to 6, ,so5 bales, against 46.1so this day last year, but bullish news failed 10 make any impression on the market

LOUISIANA OIL IS
 LATEST SENSATION
Three Million Acres of Undeveloped Territory Promise to Be Ma
 tion's Live Saver

Shreveport. January 2l.-SpeciaL)-- The northwest Louisiana oil fields are the nations latest "oiI strike" and may be it's last one. Practically the whole of America has been prospected and development has extended and cov- cred like 6 fine toothed comb to both seaboards There is little territory that has not already been prospected. so to the now known fields will be left the burden of supplying the ever-in- creasing demands for crude oil and it's by-products. The Louisiana field, with its S,00O,000 acres of undeveloped oil land, stands out as a life saver for years to come
 According to J. r. Flanagan. presi- dent of the Sinclair oil Company of Louisiana the oil fields of the state have not been scratched" and every pool in the state is holding up wonderfully salt water tales and other rot to the contrary notwithstanding As Nlr. Flanagan sees it. the "salt wa ter scare" at Homer reminds him of some Of the tactics used by grain brok- CTS to bear the market These false rumors are always created for a pur- pose; in the case of grain, to forcs the price down. but in the case of on 1t does vastly more harm-it tends to discourage development or wild-catting as it is called, and this is the very life of oil field development. Mir. Flanagan is authority for the statement that thu Homer field has not gone to water, nol has any other Louisiana oil field gont to water. IL is true, however, that ir practically every oil well there is the presence of water
 The Cushing field, for example, runs about 16 per cent water, whiie tests at the Homer fields show 1 to 3-10 of 1 per cent water.
 Louisiana is runing over 2,500, 060 barrels of oil monthly through it's pipe lines, and this is only a very small part of the actual potential production, and according to MT. Flanagan the territory in the triangle formed between Caddo Bull Bayou and Monroe will be pro- ducing twice the oil that is now being produced.

COTTON SITUATION WAS WEAK AND
 VERY UNSETTLED
General List Closed Steady At a Net Decline of 60
 to 90 Points Under
 Tuesdays Finals

New York, January 2l-The cotton mar ket was weak and unsettled today, with March contracts selling off to s5.Tc in the late trading and closing at 5.75c. compared with 36. 4oc at the close yester- day. The general list closed easy at a net decline of 60 to 90 points. The mar ket opened steady at decline of Il to cables. less favorable British trade ad- 35 points in response to lower Liverpool cables, less favorable British trade ad- vices, January notices estimated at 5000 bales, and reports of a strike of weavers in the Lancashire mills. The weakness of foreign exchange was also disturb ing factor, and there was considerable southern selling which tended to promote rumors of an easier spot situation. Trade interests were buyers on a scale down, and there were occasional rallies on cov- ering, but all the bulges met increased offerings, and the lowest levels of the day were reached in the lat trading when May sold at 33.71c and July at a.7Sc, or about 66 to 8S points net lower on the more active positions. Closing prices were at the lowest owing to the con- tinued weakness of sterling and weak ness in the stock market. Reports that state of siege had been declared in parts of Italy owing to disturbances connected with the railroad strike, increased the nervousness sof the afternoon market, and there were reports circulating during the day that Manchester and domestic spinners were well covered with raw ma terial A private report published early estimated the ginning to January l6 al 10 20, 900 bales, against Il, ,O4S,6o2 last year but the figures attracted little attention, sthe interest of traders seemed to be centered on tn less favorabl trad ad- vics and reports of a falling off in spot demand in the south. Trade interests were reported the best buyers on scale down Otherwise, and except Tor spurts of covering, local brokers salo there was very little support

SLUMP IN EXCHANGE AND LETHARGY OF STOCKS FEATURED
Bankers and Dealers in Ex- change Unable to Explain Recurrent DemOraliZa-
 ton in Money World

New York, January 21.-Another slump of the stock market, resulting in greater ease of demand money, were the out standing features of the day in the financial district. The break in interna- tional remittances carried the pound ster- ling down to s3.6O or S1zs cents under market session. French, Italian, Belgian. German and Austrian quotations suf- fered to greater degree, but the so-called neutral centers were firm.
 Bankers and dealers in xchang were again at loss to explain the recurrent demoralization, save on the broadiy rec ognized grounds of advarse trade bal ances, and the attitude of this country respecting the peace treaty.
 Price tendencies were upward for the most part, pointing anew to the over extended position of the short account. It was not until the last half hour, when exchange was at it's lowest and currency was given to rumors of additional credll restrictions, that the market became uh- settled closing with heavy tone. The only noteworthy feature at any tune were steeIs, equipments and oils, the two nrst named deriving their support from week. " reviews which denoted further large bookings by the leading mills.
 Call money opened and renewed at 6 per cent, the lowest renewal rate since last October, that quotation holding throughout the day. Time money was suotably unchanged, but again virtually unobtainable except for moderate amounts.
 In the bond market the only noteworthy feature were the fractional improvement in Liberty issues and local fractions Total sales, par value, aggregated SlS,- 575, GOO Old U. $. bonds were unchanged on call.
