 been asked by the Bishop and the Archdeacon to release the rector from his acceptance of their call. Sup posing that the plan is endorsed by the parish-gradtAlly the men and
 women of the parish will aid the rector in establishing services regu- | larly in schoolhouses or cottages in ] the neighborhood of this parish. As 1 the work extends. in all probability ! there will be six or seven services held every Sunday at various points. !

SHARP BREAK IN COTTON PUTS PRICE
 LEVELS FAR DOWN

New York, Jan. 31.-Thcre was a sharp break in the cotton marked during today's late trading with May contracts selling off to 3d.02 and closing at that figure compared with 3453 at the close yesterday. The general list closed easy at at net decline of 40 to 70 points under liquidation, southern selling, and q renewal of Wall street pressure ae- companed by reports of an easier shop basis in the eastern belt and continued nervousness over money or foreign exchange rates. There were also a rumor that small lot of cotton was to be shipped back to this country from Liverpool owing uc the decline in exchange rates. This was not generally credited.
 The market opened steady at a decline of to Is points under scat tered southern selling and local liquida ation. Prices steadicd up q few points toward the middle oi the morning on covering and scattereQ buying encouraged by the large amount of cotton represented on shipboard awaiting clearance and favorable week end revIews of the goods trade. After selling at 36.44 tor March 32.45 for July, however, the market weakened with the tone very unsettled in the late trading. March broke to 36.00 and July to 31.S0 and the close was at the lowest point on most positions. Private cables from Liverpool say an ami cable agreement is expected on a new Lancashire wage scale to take effect after the present agreement terminates at the end of March. The amount of cotton represented on shipboard not yet cleared at the end of the weeks was 319,501 bales against 117,98S last year.

I looked at Betty, speculating on just what to say. She had said she did not know what Jack was worry ing about. It was plain that he had not told her of his plans which I thought strange at the time. understood later just why he had not taken her into his confidence. .s.
 It occurred to me then that it was not my place to tell Betty something her husband evidently had purpose ly kept from her. No matter what his reasons were, nor how myster- ious, did not have the right to say anything. It was Jacks affair, not mine.
 "The boy has been dreadfully bothered recently, Bess, Betty said "but he won't tell me what,,it ls I think it is because he doesn't want to worry me-"
 q am sure he would not want to worry you, Betty," I assured her "For Jacks the kind of man who'd fight his battles through alone, rath- CT than have you suffer anything"
 "And that's what don't like! ex- claimed Betty. "I have right to help him fight his battles if he has any, don't you, see? I've begged him to tell me, but he has only laughed at my concern and insists he is not worrying. But l know he is,'' she added, petulantly.
 Surely he'll tell you sooner oi later, Betty" I soothed.
 "But want him to tell me now 1 I want to help him. l love him Bess."

Is Crittenden worried about any, thing himself? she prodded.
 Oh, he's always turning some business thing over in his head. I laughed" but worrying over busi- ness is Crittenden's chief pleasure. Jack is that way, too," Betty smil- ed. He's forever talking shop" |. "And l don't think it is such had form either, Betty" said enthusias- tlcally' it shows one is interested in ones work when one talks shop" 'I think that is true" said Betty. By the way do you know what they are up to, Crittenden and Jack?" I Her question was explosive abrupt. l thought I was getting her away from the subject. She was very tenacious.
 ooh, business" I said. "Critten- den didn't tell me much" I stop ped realizing I had gone farther than l intended.
 Betty's eyes lighted up.
 "Bess, she said, fixing me with a steady look, "what is it? I know in reason that Jacks worries are with him upstairs now. And it's business, l feel sure. What was it Critten- den told you, horrid? wouldn't ask except for the fact that I am al- most certain it concerns my Jack"
 "Why Betty, I--I+" faltered. Please tell me, Bess, please, please, said Betty. ! did not knowswhat to say to her l was helplessly confused.
 Just then we heard step in the sun parlor. They were coming down returned to the den. But he did not close the door.

And was sorry for her too. She realized her helplessness which made her position all the more pitable.
 Betty Langley was a human farret without meaning to be; without in fact knowing it. She kept asking questions, one after another. She asked so many that became un. comfortable, for I felt sure she was going to surprise me into making some sort of admission.
 Has Crittenden said anything ! about Jack to you the last few days?" she inquired guillessly.

 Only week since we returned from our glorious ten-day honey moon, Jim and 1! But that one week seems like an eternity. e
 Sweetheart, we'll never have q quarrel!" As we stood in the cen. ter of my tiny London flat, our lug. gage all about us, Jim stooped ana kissed me. No one in the world car kiss like Jim. "This is our home coming. We're going to be tremen dously happy"

 "So this--this is the end, Hell enc" The fury had faded from his eyes, and they were drawn with pain. Remember, there'll be no go- ing back"
 My lips curled in sheer. !, stNo going back? What do you mean? This flat belongs to me you are the intruder" A terrible urge was on me to wound his pride as he had wounded mine.
 And succeeded.
 The recollection that hurts me most-and yet, in curious, unfath- femable way consoles me--is the memory of his pale, handsome face ablaze with anger and outraged pride as he swung away from me and slammed the door of the flai behind him.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Rcports that cultivated acreage would be smaller in 1920 owing to dissatisfaction of farmers had bullish effect today on the corn market. The close was firm quarter to 2 cents net higher with May 1855 7-8 to 1.36 and July 1.32 1-2 to 5-8. Oats gained 1-8Gp 1-4c to 3-Sc. Provisions ranged from 10 cents decline to AZ cents ad- vance.
 5 Buying of corn received an evi- dent stimulus from widespread no tice taken of predictions that ser ious curtailment of acreage this spring might be looked for in view of rural economic unrest. Transact ions in settlement of the January delivery totaled about one million bushels, with last prices at the highest level of the season.
 Oats were firmer with corn but owing to seaboard resclling lost part of the advance.
 Provisions averaged higher in consequence of upturns in the value of hogs and grain.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 3l.-Cotton was depressed from the opening to- day by pesslmistic dispatches rom London regarding the general tlnan cial conditions Ot Europe. Following the first break there were partial recoveries but later on the selling movement was resumed and pressure was most severe in the last few minutes of the, day, with closing prices the lowest. The net change for the session was q. decline of Il to 46 points, March closing at 37.2I. Spots were unchanged at 39.SO for niddlins
 Selling late in the day appeared to come partly from bearish traders who were willing to go short over the week end and partly from tired longs who thought 1t time to let go. !
