COTTON
BY BUD FISHER

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The cotton market
was lower during today's early trading
owing TO easier Liverpool cables, uncertainty
as to tn outcom eof the ballot of British
coal miners, southern hedge selling and
LIQUIDATION. The market opened easy ut a
decline of Is to Al points and soon sold
Is to go points net lower at 2O9Oc for De-
cember and 2O.55c for January.
The closing weakness of Liverpool in
creased nervousness over the British labor
situa ton, while Liverpool continued selling
here and scattering liquidation became more
active with December breaking to 2O.62 and
March to 1890, or 80 to 105 points net lowere
around midday.
There was rally of so to 20 points on
reports that the British coal strike had been
called off, with December selling up from
20.60 to 2125, within 25 points of Mon
days closing quotations. The larger exports
were also a factor but demand failed to
broaden much and the rally was not fully
maintained during the middle of the after
noon.

the cotton market today, after triple holl-
advances during the closed period in other

cemher dropping to 1915 and May to 1920.

A vAGAB0ND LOVE
BY MILDRED WHITE.

Gloria opened the easement and step
PED out into the pillared veranda. Pres
emily. when Aunt Prudence was not
looking, she would fly across the lawn,
IKE bird released from its cage, then
then she would seek him. Honestly,
70 herself, the girl admitted it.
When one could find, by just walk
ing down to the bridge, all the Joy
or pent up dreams, why not dare a
nttle' for that compensating pleasure1
There was much to endure in her
ruled, monotonous life; compensation
was deserved
HE" would be there at the bridge.
The girls eyes softened in anticipation.
For little while he would pretend
not to hear her step, or be aware of
her presence. Then, suddenly, all
eagerness he would turn with his dear
welcoming smile.
She could see in fancy, the grace
rul disorder of his attire-the vel
veteen jacket, the soft shirt with its
collar opened at the throat where he
held so caressingly his violin.
Gloria thrilled anew, at the thought
OF the dark eyes bent upon her, as he
swayed the bow. "A song of love to
you" he would say, while the low mu-
sic which followed filled her with
emotion.
"a vagabond," the villagers called
him, "a poor adventurer living by his
wits"
