COTTON PRICES ARE AT BOTTOM LEVELS
 AS MARKET CLOSES

New York, July 31 The cotton market was in q more or less dcmor- allZed condition throughout the entire session today and closed at the bot tom, which was 45 to so points under the previous night. Chiefly responsi- ble for the pronounced weakness were continued favorable crop and weather reports from nearly all parts of the belt and q gloomy outlook in textile circles that has had an extremely bearish effect upon sentiment.
 Only small sales were reported at Fall River, while curtailment was heavy and it was reported that Au- gusta, Ga, mills were also closing down for lack of orders. Conspicuous selling by western houses was attrib- uted to the big drop in wheat prices, and Wall street sold again on the gen orally unfavorable situation in finan- cial and industrial lines.
 Supporting orders were mostly con fined to shorts and little buying for uptown account, which, however, was readily supplied. The south was a seller on very favorable crop accounts from the Atlantcs. October closed at 31.27; December 5000 and January 2G1S

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, July 31.-Persistcnt selling depressed the cotton market from opening today, the pressure be- ing strongest on the close which was at the lowest of the day, 66 to Fl points under yesterdays last prices. October traded as low as 30.31. There was little danger except that which came from shorts who wanted to real ize profits and their purchases of covers were met by fresh offerings for short account and by liquidating sales from longs who were evening up in preparation for Mondays bureau re- port.
 Continued favorable weather over the belt was looked upon as the most potent bear influence of the day by some traders but it was plain that much of the selling was due to con- fidence in a high condition report from the government Monday. An ad- ditional bear argument was found in rumors that Georgia and east Texas were offering spot cotton in this mar ket.

The Speeders
Ccpyright, 1920, by Kathleen Fox

Barbara De Haven loved cats. She did not know why at all. And she knew that the man she married dis liked cats very much. He detested them. He always should detest them.
 On the other hand he loved dogs and had half dozen of pure breed. They were all devoted to him. And next to his career in the financial world and ahead of his motor cars he loved them more than anything else in bis life up to the-time he gmet "The Beautiful California"
 Barbara would have been entirely unable to explain why she loved cats. Except ohave said '"I just do." She had one at home in New York that was beauty. It had won prizes in three national shows. It had been carried tenderly across the continent twice before the Kendalls had remov- ed from San Francisco to New York. It's name was Tan1alpais after the mountain to which San Franciscans point with pride of possession. It was Persian kitten of much unriv- alled fame and dignity. It was not, however, too majestic to bounce up on mouse, and once had reverted. both to Barbara's pleasure and chag- rir. For in her heart at the time was gratitude that the rodent had not found her skirts and repugnance that ] Tamalpais could do it.
 Which established sufficiently that Tamalpais was a cat, nothing more. He was a beauty, any one would be forced to admit, but he had claws and sharp teeth and also the ability to digest any luckless mouse that scam pered his way.
 Barbara had picked Tamalpais up from his soft cushion minute before 1 she left her home on the avenue for {! the church to be married. And she
 had thrust her sweet face into his l thick, clean coat and snuggled il l there while he purred his satisfac
 ton.

Men will die. for their dogs and dogs will give their lives for their masters. Dogs and men have com mon bond of sympathy or a common enmity. It is usually the mans fault when there is enmity, for he either is wrcng in his heart or he lets the dog discover him at evil doings. For generations, even centuries, has there been close fellowship between men and dogs. Poems have been writ ten around their attachment A dis tinguished senator once pleaded for, a man and a dog, and, though long dead, he still brings tears to the eyes of dog lovers by the eloquence of his appeal.
 Men like dogs more than any other animal. The horse is a rival of the dog, but the horse never lies at his masters feet to look up at him with abiding faith in his eyes, to take the friendly tone as 1t is meant rather than to interpret the rough import of the speech as it might be understood from mere words. Neither will a horse defend his master and fight against odds for his protection, dy- ing of, his own volition to save him. It is peculiar thing that men love dogs and that dogs love men. Yet it is so.
 Women love cats. They adore them. It is not known actually whether the cats love their mistresses, though they will reciprocate the attentions bestowed upon them because of the care they are given. And it may be that women's devotion to cats is because they, themselves, do not know whether they have yet won the cats affections Which would make the game worth playing on and on.
 Cats are fluffy things, dainty ere atures, and, properly fed, are with out that natural characteristic o1 preying that turns men against them l On the whole they are nice enough pets and most women are crazy about ! them.

She had murmured in his ear as the car waited for her: "Good-bye, Tammy, old fellow! l wish you we're going, tool" Maybe tear fell upon Tamalpais' coat as she turned away from him.
 Tonight as Barbara and her hus band of a few hours went through their suite on the yacht, she thought of Tamalpais and wished for him She had been accustomed to hold him on her lap after dinner.
 Arm in arm, the lovers went. thr, the suite. They entered the first bedroom. It was Johns. His valet had put his things away in the ma hogany closet and chest of draw CTS that stood fastened to the dccl for safety.
 Then they went into the bedroom It was Barbara $. Her maid had disposed her mistress belongings with the same care Johns valet had given his masters. The bride was much pleased to find that her trous- seau was in perfect order without an effort on her part.
 Meow!"
 Barbara De Haven started. She had been thinking of Tamalpais and had imagined she heard his cry. But the "Meow!" was repeated. And then the girl ran to the bed where, curlcd up like ball, Tamalpais had been sleeping. For it was he, his Persian Majesty, none other, and quite as handsome and satisfied as when ashore in the bankers home on the avenue.
 A moment she stood looking at the cat, now stretching his fine figure on the bed and waiting for her to take him. Then she looked at the man who stood watching her. She went to him, not the cat, and put her hands upon his shoulders. A little sob of happiness came from her throat, and her eyes, upturned to his, were film- ed with the tears of her emotion.
