ADVANCE IN JULY
 CONTRACTS FEATURE THE COTTON MARKET

New York, July 22 The cotton mar ket was furnished with plenty of cX- citement today, the first sensation being an advance in July contracts to 43.75, which is the highest figure ever attained by q future contract on any domestic exchange and 57 points higher than the record cstab- lishcd by March contracts on March 23 last. The advance was due en- tirely to covering by belated shorts and did not extend to the rest of the list which was comparatively quiet without important price change until the last half hour when it developed d sensational break of over SD bale, closing weak at d net decline of 125 to 150 points.
 The July position only reacted 25 points from the top, as there was very little offered and closed 100 points net higher. The late smas! carried October off to 3320, December to 31.50 and January to 30.75, at which levels the market closed. Chief ly responsible for this late violent decline in prices was rumor that the national ginner's condition figure would be beariSh.

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, July 22.-There were no further changes in the local raw su- gar market today and prices were quoted at 15 1-2 for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 16.56 for centrifugal. The undertone seemed to be d little steadier and holders were not press ing their sugars for sales.
 The market for refined sugar was easier.
 Futures were less active but there was a further decline of 12 a cent at the opening under continued liqui- dation. Near the close, however, the market rallied, owing to the lower tone in sugar and nearly all the early loss was regained with closing prices 15 points lower to 15 points higher.

bank he carried his biggest account, had been watching the young mans career in the financial world and admired him greatly. He thought of his daughters future being safe in the hands of a man who had made a fortune before he was thirty. Be- sides, having years before known Barbara was making the best alliance possible as far as family was con cerned. He, too, knew the De Havens as thoroughbreds, "Mother Kendall" as John De Haven affectionately called her, was sweet and cordial as she greeted him on their arrival Her ambition for her child had been realized in Barbara's engagement to him, for, together with his financial and social stand ing and recognized business ability, which had weighed so much on her husbands scales, she was content that her daughter was to be his wife. for she had never heard anything but good reports about "the very estim- able young man."
 Following dinner, they went to the theater and there they had visitor and old friend of Barbara's. Dix Randall limped into the box, lean ing heavily on a cane.
 Barbara had. not seen him for some weeks. He had been out west on his brothers ranch. He had gone almost immediately after her en- gagement was announced.
 The girl remembered at once his passionate love for horses and in ferred that he had ridden one broncho too many.
 "Mr. Randall, are you hurt-ill ?' she cried.
 "Nearly dead-yes," said the painter of miniatures, his grin be- lieing his words.
 "Why, what is the matter" she
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-07-23

inquired.
 Dix Randall shook hands with John De Haven, whom he had met before, and then was presented to MT. and Mrs. Kendall.
 Barbara repeated her question. What was it?" she asked.
 "Oh, the blow nearly killed little Dix" he said, sadly shaking his head.
 "The blow! Were you hit?" Hit, indeed! 1 should say sol" he exclaimed. "And this is what hit me. I can tell you that it nearly finished me, too"
 i.sHe took his card case from his pocket, withdrew little packet and unwrapped the tissue paper cover ing which had been folded with pains taking care. He then gave to Barbara a newspaper clipping. With amuse- ment he watched her.
 The girl read it and the corners of her mouth lifted,' broke into a smile. It was the announcement of her engagement to John De Haven.
 She laughed. Then Dix Randall laughed and Mir. and Mrs. Kendall thought it amusing. John De Haven laughed with the rest. He considered Randall had done it rather well. He invited him to remain in the box The artist had come to the theater alone as was frequently his custom
 Randall accepted the invitation Ha sat with Rarha ra during the rest of the performance, John De Haven on the other side.
 Barbara was gracious to both men She was very happy to have John a, her side and she was glad to meet her old friend. She had liked Dix Randall tremendously.
 But somehow John De Haven
 thoughhospitable and generous ot spirit, found that he did not cherish the idea of dividing Barbara's atten. tion with another.

The women talked on and on, hav- ing much to say as women always have They had had tea and were waiting for John to come in his car and take Barbara home. He was to dine at the Kendalrs and take them all to the theater afterward.
 He found them in his sisters bou- doir. He burst in upon them inn petuously, eagerly like the boy Anne Miller still fondly considered him. She could not believe he was grown up. S
 He was for taking Barbara away Immediately, Anne protested but he would have to drive, he insisted to get to the Kendalls' in time for dinner. A
 q don't want to offend Mother Kendall" he explained.
 "So soon, Johnnie 2" inquired An ne Miller, lifting her brows.
 "That's nothing" he said, upabash- ed. "She has called me My boy and MT. Kendall said Take her, my son.. So you see I am solid up there on the avenue:
 On the way home, the lovers dis cussed their approaching wedding It was six weeks till Christmas and they were to be married that day. It would be glad holiday season for them. They were in love with each other.
 "You will be my Santa Claus bride,' said John De Haven, driving skill fully with one hand as Barbara nestled close beside him in the pro- tection of the closed car. They were blissfully content, happily sat isfied and carefree. They had nc thought but that they would al. ways be happy and undisturbed.
 At the Kendall home John De Haven found the same warm welcome that had been given Barbara by his own people. Her father, at whose
