COTTON PRICE .S[UMPS BADLY.
 DOWN 2C HERE

A further sharp break in futures together with marked decline in the basis being paid by cotton factors combined to reduce prices of cotton on the Conway market $10 or more per bale from those prevailing here Tuesday morning.

 It was reported here this morning that factor shad reduced the premium which they were paying on future quotations by about 200 points. Yes terday's decline in futures was fol- lowed today by break of about SC points.
 Local receipts of cotton today were the largest of the week, and it was stated that few if any farmers are refusing to sell on the decline.
 New York December contracts closed today 70 points net lower al 1856 cents and January closed 84 points down at 1920 cents. New Or leans December declined 82 points, closing at 1918 cents and January lost 73 points, closing at 1899 cents. Spots in New York were lowered 65 points to 20.10 cents and in New Or leans spots, which failed to respond to yesterdays drop in futures, de- clined today 100 points to 1925 cents.
 The local price of cottonseed to- day is unchanged at $32 per ton

SIR PATRICK SPENS

The Knk of Scotland sat drinking
in his palace in Dunfermline. He
had contracted a marriage with the
daughter of the King of Norway, and
was making arrangements to send a
ship to that country to bring the prin-
cess to Scotland. >"Where shall I get
a good sailor to sail this ship of
mine?" asked the king. An old knight
who sat at the kings right knee ans
wered, "Sir Patrick Spens is the
best of all those who sail the sea-"
So the king wrote a letter and sent
it to Sir Patrick Spens.
When the letter reached Sir Pat
rick, he was walking on the strand.
The first line that he read, he laugh
ed and then tears came to his eyes
to think of having to 60 to sea at
that season. When he told his men
to get ready, one of them replied that
he had seen the new moon with the
old moon on her arm and that he
feared a storm.
Sir Patrick Spens had fulfilled his
mission and was half way home to
Aberdeen, when the storm came. The
Scottish mobiles hated to wet their
clothes but before the storm was over
their hats swan above them. Their
ladies sat a long time with their fans
in their hands and their gold combs
in their hair waiting for their lords;
but they saw them no more.

PAINTING WAY ROUND WORLD
New York Times.

An artist from Holland who is
working his way around the world
by means of his art to win a legacy
of $4,000 guilders, equal in Holland
at present to $4,000 of American
money, has arrived in New York. He
has three years in which to COM
plete his circle of the globe. His
name is j. Monnickendam and he is
accompanied by his wife.
The trip is the result Of an agree
ment the artist AND a friend, S. De-
gen, made with Jan Bilderbeck "a
wealthy man Of Dordrecht, Holland
who was a patron and admirer OF the
arts and wished to do something to
encourage young artists of his coun-
try. He made a contract with Degen
and Monnickendam that if they
worked their way around the world,
he would pay them $4,000 guilders,
but with the condition that they must
not sell or exhibit their work through
dealers.
The two artists left Holland, each
with SO guilders, January 1, 1919
They worked their way through Bel
gium and then to Paris, where they
had such a hard time that Degen be-
came i'll and died. Monnickendam
and his wife went on to Italy, Spain
and London. In Italy he won the
Prix de Rome on May 6 last year
with the portrait of a woman, which
he sold. The money enabled him to
90 to London. :,
In the meantime Bilderback, his
patron, had died, but left a vail
which stipulated that the money was
to be paid when Aonnickendam com
piled with the contract.
In London the artist obtained
through Holland official an audience
with King George who commissioned
him to paint several pictures. The
money was sufficient to pay the pas
age Of Monnickendam and his wife
to New York. They arrived nearly
out of funds, but sure rney could get
the rest Of the way in the three
years that are left to them. They
