NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, April 20.-The local market for raw sugar was little unsettled today owing to reports that the British commission had withdrawn from the Cuban market, securing elsewhere at prices said to be one cent pound lower than the Cuban quotations late yesterday. However, prices reached record lev els on sales of 15,000 bags of Gu bas for May shipment at IS 3-4 cents cost and freight, and 15,000 bags Tor June shipment at 19 cents, cost and freight but today prices were easier again, closing at l18 12 cents for Cubas, cost and freight. equal to 1856 for centrifugal. There were sales of about 33,O00 bags of Cubas for April May and June shipment to local refiners at IS l-2 cents, cost an dfreight.
 In refined prices are more or less nominal, as most refiners are out of the market. One refiner IS sald to be allocatng sugars to his regu- lar customers at 17.50 for fine gran ulated, while another is said to be asking 23 cents for fine granulated the latter quotations being based upon the present quotation for raw sugar. Sugar futures were more ac, tive and fluctations irregular and within a range of nearly one cent , pound. The opening was 50 ito 3e points lower under general liqulda- | tion. promoted by the unsettled raw sugar situation, but there was a ral' lly on covering in the late tradine and closing quotations were l6 to 5s
 points net lower. Sales 3,550 tons.

Industrials are Financing Homes
 for Their Workers

Pittsburgh. April 22. Important industrial corporations in the Pitts hurgh district are Financing home bui' ding operations by their employ cs to relieve the house shortage m mill and mining communities. For the general public, trust companies have adopted similar plans, and are now accepting what they term "lu- stalmcnt mortgages to encourage house erection.
 The most ambitious program Of the lot is that of the United States Steel Corporation Under this plan an ein- ployc. who is willing to make an inl- tal investment of ten per cent. of the total cost, Is permitted to select from number of plans the kind of house that will suit his family. Iir then picks out lot, usually near his place of employment, and the corpolation's $ architects and builders do the rest. When the house is com plctcd, it is turned over to the cm- ploye who pledges himself to pay for 1t in monthly mstaltmcnts covering a period Of ten years, the total cost being just what the cost has been to the corporation. Although the plan is scarcely a month old, the bu- rcau in charge of building Is already swamped with applications.
 The Westinghouse ElectrIc & Man ufacturing Go. also has q building plan, and has just completed and sold to employees 90 houses at cost. They too are to be paid for on the instalmcnt plan. Another and much larger program is in preparation. The merit of these plans, builders say, is that materials can be pur- chased in large quantities, and the saving passed on to the workman i buyer, who thus gets a much better home for less money than if he had | bought the material and erected the house as an individual.
 Moving Day, which is May Day, is expected to prove q trying time tG many persons, according to real es- tate and renting agents. Rents have advanced steadily during the past two years until now they are from 25 to 100 per cent higher than in the early days of the war. A Rent ers' League has been formed for the purpose of fighting the legal battles of persons who may be evlctcd be cause of their inability to pay the increases which become operative | May 1. The League has opened af office, retained counsel and already is asking the public to send in its complaints. Leaders in the union labor movement arc prominent in the | League.

the Near East Relief orphanage on their way to the interior"
 "I have no way of being certain where they go but most probably to Erzingan and Sivas, where Mustapha Kennel, in spite of the French Mis- sion, is very strong. There is & British control officer here of course but he would not believe that arms were being shipped into the country until he happened to be out here one night, and I showed him the wagons passing. He has stopped few of them, but the smuggling still goes 1on, just the same.
 "The Turks realize that most of the hinterland of this country, if not Trebizond itself, is bound to go to Armenia, sooner or later, and they are preparing to resist Armenian rule, and to try to discredit the Ar menian government by inspiring dis order just as soon as the Armenians take charge.
 'It is a pity that Admiral Bristol and the American navy arc not charged with the surveillance of this whole coast, from Baum to Bey-- routh. The trouble with France and England is that the Mohammedans have them bluffed, on account of their Mohammedan colonies, and the Turks are putting it over on them right along. The only nation the Turks respect is the U. $. A.

Helene's Married Life Christie Copyright by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

With Mir. Lloyd's arm about me, we reached the front door of the cot tage. He knocked preemptorily.
 A gray-haired man .in corduroys opened the door, and q cheerful light streamed out. In word or two MT. Lloyd explained the situation. I no- ticed that curious, significant look passed between master and servant,
 "Come in. Come in," cried the lat ter, flinging pitying glance in my direction. q hope the lady isn't bad ly hurt ?"
 We entered little kitchen. The -gamekeeper's wife ran to my assist ance In twinkling she had my trench-coat off, and was unlocking my dress across the shoulders.
 'Its but scratch" she cried. ."No, nothing serious, sir" She turn ed to Travis Lloyd. "The young lady has been lucky"
 Evidently, she was experienced in the ways of poachers and their kind. Her husband had been shot at more than once.
 But this couldn't be the work of any sneaking poacher," she added, staring first at her husband, then at the other man. "Who could it have been? And what could the motive be ? Was it the young lady who was aim ed at? The police should be sent out, that they should!"
 She led me off into an inner room, and presently returned with a basin of cold water, and some sticking plaster.
 "There, dearie, I'll make you feel more comfortable. You must have had nasty shock. Just let me fix you up.'
 She worked with quick, delft hands hurting me as little as possible. She was kindly soul.
 When we returned to the kitchen the gamekeeper and MT. Lloyd were talking together in low tones. caught the words:
 ''Culpable negligence"
 And then I heard the gamekeepel say, respectfully:
 Begging your pardon, sir, but is 1 it safe to be seen hereabouts with

New York, April 20. An early de cline was followed by sharp advan- ces in the cotton market today oW- ing to renewal of unfavorable weather and crop news. The general list closed barely steady, net un- changed to 55 points higher. The market opened steady at a decline under d renewal of yesterdays sell ing movement encouraged ivy rc,a- lively easy cables and thch unset tied opening of the stock market Private reports of rains in the cen tral belt caused moderate rallies af- ter the call, but the official weather map showed no precipitation of con sequence and the market cascd off again after the publication of q fav- orablc eastern belt forecast. Offer ings later subsided and the market turned steadier on trade buying while covering was promoted by Washington advices reporting a further advance of $1 1,l00.000 to in cotton purchases by Czecho= Slovak spinners. Private reports of weather in the central belt participated in some Mississippi sections, where heavy winds were said to have caused damage, stim- ulated the buying movement early in the afternoon.

 Feeling better, Miss Helene? Yes, that's right. It was a nasty business. We were lucky to escape so lightly" lSI stared at him. His voice did not sound natural. What was he hiding from me? And why did he make no effort to catch the wouldbe murder CT?

 "But-I don't fancy getting into the car again and being shot at sec ond time!" l reconstructed. 1 flung an anxious glance at the window of the kitchen. Suppose second bull let should come whizzing through with better aim than had the pre- vious one? The thought was not at tractive.
 "Let her rest bit. I'll make her a@cup of tea" The gamekeeper's wife hustled about me. I And gradually I felt calmer, better able to face the ride back to An 1 struther Lodge. Fifteen minutes slip ped away. The clock struck half past ten.
 T was about to rise and suggest de- parture, when my eyes felt drawn, as though hypnotized, toward the win dow, the lower half of which was partially unshaded. And then cold chill struck my heart!

There is nothing particularly cou- rageous in my composition. l wish that I could say otherwise-with truth. But can't.
 When the bullet whizzed across my shoulders ripping my trenchcoat and my frock, 1 gave an unheroic scream. I thought that l was mortally wound ed. A trickle of something warm and sticky did not tend to reassure mo.
 Instead of pulling up the car and attending to me, MT. Travis Lloyd did curious thing. He touched the with rush.
 w-Tm hurt!' I gasped.
 But even then he didn't stop. think he was afraid that if he did so both of us would be murdered! 1n- deed it must have been would-be assassin who had fired the shot.
 Pull yourself together! I'll at tend to you in half minute!" he cried hoarsely. "I only want to get away from the internal neighbor- hood!"
 He switched the headlights on and in their dazzling glow l could see that great drops of precipitation stood out upon his forehead.
 I heard him mutter to himself:
 "Infernal carelessness!"
 Thereafter I was too occupied with my own condition to pay any heed to my companion.
 But curiously enough, l didn't feel as though l were dying. The only sensation of pain that l had was a slight burning feeling just between the shoulder blades. And then we pulled up sharply ir front of little cottage close to the roadside. MT. Lloyd helped me out
 One of my gamekeepers lives here We'll go inside. Here, lean on me And try to walk" His solicitude was quite touching. The man looked i'm mensely worried. "k-I don't think Pm much hurt" gasped Tears were rather near the surface. My nerves had sustained shock.
