NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Oct. 20.-More cheer full sentiment prevailed in the cotton market today and prices stood at net advances practically throughout the session. Persistent rumors of nego- ,tiations that would end the coal strike in Falkland, further tighten ing up on the part of interior spot holders and the claims in official weekly reports on the crop that pick ing had been completed over large areas in the central and southern sections of the belt were the main things back of the demand for con- tracts.
 The opening was higher in re- sponse to much better Liverpool ca bles than due. For while the mar ket held very steady but gradually the gains met under hedge offerings and realizings on the part of recent buyers. In the late trading another buying movement set in and values made instant response with the re- suit that the close showed net gains for the day of from 38 to AS points
 The cotton market closed steady at net advances of 38 to 48 points.

COTTON MARKET
 IS LESS ACTIVE
 AND FLUCTUATES

New York, Oct. 20.-The cotton market was less active today and fluctuations were irregular but there were sharp advances in the late trad ing on reports that very reassuring opinions as to the financial and com mercial outlook had been expressed at the convention of bankers at Wash ington. The general market closed finn at an advance of 40 to 57 points,
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance in response to the continued strength of Liverpool, small over night hedge orders from the south and unsettled weather in the south west. Prices turned easier under resl l2ing by recent buyers for re- action and there was some selling during the middle of the day on the more favorable weekly report of the weather bureau than expected, Of ferings, however, were much less active and aggressive than on pre- vious declines, and the market firmed up later on renewed coverings R2- ports that there were god prospects for an early settlement of the Brit ish coal strike encouraged the ad- vance, which also was promoted by indications tIat spot cotton was be- ing held more tightly in the south and reports that southern mills were buying to fix prices. Exports today 27,577 making 74S,543 so far this sea son. Port receipts 34,161. Unitde States port stocks 1,034,439.

89o for centrifugal and it was said that some Brazil sugars had changed hands at about the same equivalent.
 The only change in the refined sit uation was the re-entry into the Grket of local refiner who has been out for long time, at the 12 cent level for fine granulated Other refiners quoted from II to 12c for fine granulated, and there was said to be fair business doing for prompt shipment.
 The easier ruling of the spot mar ket caused moderate selling in sugar futures and closing prices were 20 to 90 points new lower. Business was much less active, and it is evident that the operators were puzzled over the situation and inclined to await further developments.

The Speeders
Copyright, 1920, by Kathleen Fox

Columbia.
 There was a thought in his mind that worried him more, however, than Wall street. How did things really stand between him and Barbara? It did not seem to him that he had been to Newport at all on that last run down there. His memory of being with her was almost vague, it has been so unreal, so unlike what he had wanted and what he had hoped for. And just as Barbara had fought dur ing the few days she stayed at New port and later when she went with Mrs. Beckley Hewitt to Bar Harbor. he resisted, through pride, recogni- tion of the trouble between them
 But he was forced at last, as she had been, to admit it. That was the most difficult and the most embar- rasing thing he had ever done in his life. But once he did admit it, it was 9 steadfast conviction with him. His teracity was relentless thing.
 The other men knew why he was in the party after they started, and were decent to him. George Peyton and Harvey Sheldon followed Hogue Mil ler's lead and tried to- cheer him without making their purpose appaa- ent. In fact they succeeded so well that he was drawn to them more than ever.
 Once established in the camp they made and with Barbara's reply to his first letter received, he was glad he had left New York when he did. For her letter was of a character that made the same impression on him that his had made on her. It con- vinced him beyond reasonable doubt that their happiness was threatened And if that were so, he reflected, he was better here than there. He could not have borne it to see her now with others, enjoying hteir company when his had become distastefu to her. When he had known she loved rim it had been hard enough, but there had been the consolation that. after all she belonged to him.
 He did not sleep much at first in the camp. Barbara was too much in
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-10-21

his mind for that, so his insomnia re- mained for many nights and he lay sleepless under the stars, with his companions snoring about him, and thought of the beautiful girl he had married and who somehow seemed to be slipping away from him.
 Little had happened, he admitted to prove all that he felt must be true. Every thing had been done at Newport not up to that time, considered that break threatened them. It was possible, he reasoned that it had been coming for long time and had only eliminated then. He tossed on his bed of pine needles that pr. Hill had ordered and wore out the nights until finally nature got to work and restored what he had lost Then he slept every night like child.
 He tried hard to answer Barbara's letter in way that would make pos sible some sort of reproachment but could not. His letter, as evidence was before him. He could not go against it. He wanted her to have what she desired. He had not mar ried her for anything in the world but to love her and take care of her. He would not interfere with nor dom- mate her. She should be allowed to seek her happiness without interfer- ence from him, unless, indeed, she welcomed that influence. That was being thoroughbred as he under stood it. That was acting the part of De Haven.
 But he hated it all, the estrange- ment, the misunderstanding, the quarrel, if one might call it that He had loved her. He still loved her. That did not worry him in the least. He would go on loving her unto the end. What hurt was the fear that she did not care as he cared, had not. perhaps, ever cared in that way.
 Feeling this way he was now situ- ated in the best place it was possible for him to be. He realized that and profited from it.

John De Elaven's Viewpoint

John De Haven had left New York at Dr. HllIs orders, resentful that fate had dealt him a blow like this He wanted to stay at his work in Wall Street, a work that was his life and one that, just as he had to leave it, was developing a conditions that aroused all the fighting blood he had inherited from a long line of cour- ageous ancestors.
 The thing whatever it was-that had opposed him in his operations he hated. He felt it was unfair, where fore he should give it no quarters once he knew it for what it was and got the advantage. He had never done anything of that kind himself hence he held it as beneath his stan dards and low. lie regarded it with as much contempt as was possible for a man who was forced, because of its danger, to recognize it's exist ence.. The man is fortunate who can feel contempt for his enemies and appear obvious to their existence. That he could not de; his enemy was powerful enough to demand recogni- ton.
 And now he was far from the bat tie ground from which he had been forced by circumstances. He felt a coward yet knew in his heart he was not. He had tried to fight against Dr. Hills diagnosis and orders but it had been no use. He had to leave New York. But the man who assail- CT him-he suspected he reckoned him as a quitter. That had galled him when he told Walker what to do and what not to do before leaving.
 There was just one comforting thing; he was to return to Wall Street. His enemy should know, af- ter all, that he had not been afraid to meet the issue. And when he got back, perhaps, he should be better filter for the conflict that was com ing. That had cheered him little as he wound up his affairs tempor- arily and joined the others on the trip across the continent to British
