 There was another reduction of 15 points reported by four of the local re- liners to the basis of 6.S5c for fine granulated, the level announced by one of the refiners yesterday. The decline failed to attract any increased demand. and buyers were inclined to hold off. owing to the further reduction in raws

STOCK SENTIMENT
 WAS BEAR|SH IN
 DAYS TURNOVERS
In Foreign Exchange Market Radical Change for Better Occurred, Based on Short
 Covering N
By Associated Press

New York, February 2.-Sentinent in stock market circles today was. unmis- takably bearish, that feeling finding fre- 1uent expression in the pressure directed against almost every important division of the list.
 The money market was a powerful factor, call loans opening at per cent, the highest initial rate since the middle of last November, and advancing to 5 per cent in the final hour. Quotations for time funds and commercial paper were unaltered, but offerings were ill small supply.
 Further unsettlement in the commodity markets, indicated by an extension of price reductions for crude and refined oils and the sharp competition in the sugar trade, were among the significant sidelights thrown upon prevailing indus trial conditions.
 These developments coincided with addi- tional announcement of wage reductions, more retrenchment of operations by the railroads and budget of railroad earn ings which were not calculated to stimu- late a demand for transportation se- curities.
 Rails. in point of fact, however, were the only relatively strong issues, espe- cially Great Northern and Northern Pacific, those stocks rising brislzly in the last hour and aiding materially towardS reducing losses elsewhere. Sales amounted to 625. 900 shares.
 In the foreign market 8 radical change for the better occurred, based, according to reports, on short covering The Lon don rate madesup more than yesterday E loss. and substantial strength was eVl denced by quotations to France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Sweden, also to China.
 Liberty issues featured the narrow deal- ings in the bond market, recovering the greater part of their recent declines, but rails. industrials and equipments were disposed to ease moderately. Total sales, par value, $1S,30o,o00.
 Old United States government 2s rose fA per cent and the 4s a4 per cent on call.

 New York. February 2.-(speciaI)- )-The market is passing through period of inactivity owing to quiteness in the goods market. It appears that many re- tafiers have sufficient stocks on hand to meet their immediate needs and the mills during the first two weeks of the new year bought sufficient cotton to cover their spring orders. American mills un- fortunately are held up by European conditions, and the anticipated trouble over tho indemnity settlement by Ger many has caused foreign trade to remain very quiet Manchester feels that the worst period has passed and that high wages and low production are holding up industry and until some adjustment is made. things will remain quiet At these prices we feel that 1t is much safer to purchase cotton for farsighted view of things will indicate a resumption of trade and | slow but gradual return tosnoFmal.

LITTLE PAUL GILLESPIE.

May 10, 1921, the death angel en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
c. Gillespie, claimed for heaven little
Paul, aged II months and 23 DAYS.
He was a sweet child and loved by
all. 1t is hard to give little Paul up
but the Lord knows best and we
bow in humble submission to him who
docth all things we'll and we point
the grandfather and mother to the
Lord of all comfort. His body was
laid to rest in the Flat Rock ceme-
terry the day following his death in
the presence of concourse of sor-
rowing friends.
! Angels called the little darling
From all care and pain away
TO the realms of fadeless JOY
! TO the land Of purast day.
! Sweetly little Paul sleeps in Jesus,
Never to wake or weep;
Mourner, behold your loved one
! Sleeping his last long sleep.
Far in the golden somewhere,
Over beyond deaths sea
Amid shining hosts of angels
Mourners, little Paul waits for
thee.
Sad is the hour of parting,
Little Paul, he will come no more.
Still we hope to meet little Paul
Safe on the golden shore.
The little crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by,
a fathers love, mothers JOY,
In deaths cold arms doth lie.

CHAPTER II.

Captain Scraggs and The Square
head partooI first of the ham and
eggs, coffee and bread, which the
skipper prepared. Scraggs then pre-
pared a similar meal for Mr., Gibney
and McGuffey, set it in the oven to
keep warm, and descended TO the en-
CINE room to relieve McGuffey for din
ner Neils at the same time took the
course from Mr., Gbney and relieved
the latter at the wheel. BY this time,
darkness had descended upon the
world, and the Maggie had entered
the Jog; following her custom she pro-
ceeded in absolute silence, although as
partial offset to the extreme liability
to collision with other cOaStwse craft,
due TO the non-whistling rule aboard
the Maggie, Mr.. Gibney had laid ii
| course half a mile inside the usual
steamer lanes albeit due to his over
whelming desire for peace he had
neglected to inform his owner Of this ;
the honest fellow proceeded upon The
hypothesis that what people do not
know is not apt to trouble them.
Captain Scraggs read the log and
reported the mileage to Mr. Gihney,
who figured with the stub Of pencil
ON the pilot house wall waggcd his
head, and appeared satisfied. Better

GuTey was Mortified to see his steam

his Ingenious head out of the pilot
house and listened, but no answering
echo reached his ears Hear any
thingg he bawled.

Scraggs retorted yenomously.
Mr. Gibney leaped out on deck, So

that McGutfeys job on the Maggie
was the first he had had in six months
and he treasured II accordingly For
this reason he and Gibney had been
inclined to take considerable slack
from Captain Scraggs until McGuffey
discovered that, in all probability no
engineer in the world, except him
self would have the courage TO trust
himself within range Of the Maggie's
boilers, and, consequently he had
Captain Scraggs more or less at his
mercy Upon imparting this suspicion
to Mr.. Gbney, the latter decided that
it would be a cold day, indeed, when
his ticket would not constitute a club
wherewith TO make Scruggs, as Glib
ney expressed it, mind his P's and
Q's."
1t win be seen, therefore, that mu-
tual necessity held this queerly as
sorted trio together, and, though they
quarreled furiously, nevertheless, with
the passage Of time their own weak
neSses and those of the Maggie had
aroused in each for the other curl
GUS affection While Captain Scraggs
frequently pulled" monumental
bluff and threatened to dismiss both
GIbney and McGulfey--and in fact
occasionally went so far as to order
them off his ship, on their part Glib
ney and McGulfey were wont to work
the same racket and resign with the
subsidenee of their anger and the re-
turn to reason, however the trio had
a habit Of meeting accidentally In the
Bowhead saloon, where, sooner or
later, they were certain to bury their
| grudge in a foaming heaker of steam
beer, and return joyfully to the Mag
| gle.

Nels Halyorsen, coloquially desig-

in fact, his own man. Neils was
steady, Industrious, faithful, capable,
and reliable; any one of hundred
deckhand Jobs were ever open to
Neils, yet, for some reason best known
to himself, he preferred to stick by
the Maggie. In his dun way it is
probable that he was fascinated by
the agile intelligence of Mr. Gibney
the vtrolic tongue of Captain
Scraggs, and the elephantine wit and
grizzly bear courage of Mr.. McGuffey
At any rate, he delighted in hearing
them snarl and wrangle
