AT this juncture, Mr.. Gibney and
McGuffey, unable to restrain their Gu

they were pirates with very sore feet,
came running over the deckload and
invaded the pilot house. "Gimme that

started. From the point at which they
left the trolley to their journeys end
was a stlff six-hour jaunt, up hill and
down dale. and long before the march
was half completed the unaccustomed
exercise had developed sundry gals
and blsters on ,he Gibney heels. while
the soles OF poor Mc9uney's feet were
so hot he voiced the apprehension that
they might burn to crisp at any mo
ment and drop Off by the wayside.

In the galley when the two prodigals,

came TO the door and coughed propi-

not TO hear. and went on with his task

Mr.. Glhney's honest face beamed ex-

tial TO fried eggs As for his CON-
panion in distress. anything edible and
which would serve to nullify the gnaw-
ing at his internal economy would be
welcome. Inasmuch as Captain
Scraggs did not readily reply TO Mr..
Gibney's saluiation. McGuffey decided
TO be more emphatic and to the point,
albeit in n joking way.

he rumhled. "Me an Gib's walked

FOREIGN MARKETS ARE BIG INF FUENCE
 IN THE CHICAGOPIT
Both Domestic and Argentine Wheat Went Up, While Corn, Oats and ProVi-
 SionS Rose Little
By Assnciated Press

Chicago, February 1S.-Foreign markets were again the paramount influence on the Chicago Board Of Trade today. With Argentine reported 3c higher on wheat, an exactly sim liar net gain was recorded here Corn finished unchanged to Hc higher. Oats %c to Ac higher, and provisions Dc lower to 7kc higher, although cured products made new high market for the season.
 Wheat started higher in sympathy with Lverpools bullish action on the Argentine crop estimate of Is, 900, 900 less bushels this year than last Profit taking operations forced down prices and absence of decided sup port encouraged shorts to indulge in their favorite trade. As a result the Buenos Aires close at at a Sc ad- vance came when the pit was over sold. The longs made the most of the chance and the bulge was con- tinue6 right up to the final bell.
 Corn was weak in the early trad ing but a falling off in country of- ferings, coupled with a fair export business and advices that the Sea board interests were coming to term inal markets for grain, gave ground for good support. The close was strong.
 Oats were about steady. but trade in them was light.
 Provisions were moderately active The higher prices for live hogs had the usual effect but locals and cash houses were good buyers of lard and only scattered commission houses were making offerings in the pit The top of s1045 for live hogs was a new high feature of the week.

Many Washington EUents Figured in
 Finances This Week
By Associated Press

New York, February 1S.-The con- flicting course of political develop ments at Washington, due to pro- posed bonus legislation and easement of money rates here and abroad were foremost influences of another incon- elusive week in the financial marke cts.
 Banking and commercial interests were divided regarding the advisabil- ity of a sales tax ana little thought seemed to be given to the question of compensation legislation. but oppo- sition to bond issue was practically unanimous.
 Reduction of the Bank of England discount rate to the level prevailing at this and other leading federal re- serve districts occasioned no surprise in view of the sharp rise of sterling exchange and the very favorable turn in British trade balance.
 Improved trade and better general economic conditions were the chief reasons given for the further advance of French, Belgian and Italian cur rencies. Buoyance of the neutral ex- changes. especially those on Holland and the other north European cen .ers suggested that recent financial tension in these countries had relaxed.
 Interest in the question of Europe's s war obligations as reviewed by the statement of a prominent member of the French Chamber of Deputies noucheur) that France cannot pay her debt to America. Regardless of this statement, French and other European underwritings. were active and strong, trading embracing the largest number of foreign issues since she close of the war.
 Tn the stock market gains predomi- mated among popular shares. but the movement lost some of the strength as result of profit taking and re- sumption of the bearish operation in Mexican Oils and Independent Steels.
 Industrial conditions were again obscured by additional price cuts in fabricated steel and iron, further slowing down of production in the automobile industry and affiliated trades and fresh labor disturbances at New England and southern textile centers

 New Orleans, February 1S.--De- cided strength was displayed by cot ton today, especially in the late trad ing. The market reached it's highest levels toward the close. when 1t stood 39 to 49 points up. The close was S5 to fl points up. March traded up to 16.97c and closed at 16.93c; Octo- Der rose to 16.27c and closed at 16.32c.
 The opening was higher, spots in- terests being buyers and claiming much more business in their depart ment. Early gains amounted to abzout a dollar bale, after which the market hesitated for while bu- finally strengthened again on the rise in foreign exchange rates and reports over private wires, predicting that the New England strikes short ly would be settled. As the market rose shorts commenced to get ner- vous and finally a belated rush to cover on their part caused an active and exceedingly firm period on which the best prices of the day were made.
 Spot brokers reported that they were meting the best demand for ac- tual cotton in two months. while of ferings were said to be anything but liberal. Tuesday Is first notice dav for March in this market and, while there was much talk about tenders, it did not have any adverse effect on values.

Unsettled Conditions Still Preuail m Most
 Cotton Goods Markets

New York, February 1S.--Unset- tied conditions still prevail in cot ton goods markets. Percale prices were reduced during the week l Mc a yard to a basis of 11%c for A, 64x6os, and lines of low-end printed Graperies were reduced on some numbers Pc yard. Additional busi- ness has been stirred by these price changes. Price reductions in west ern jobbing houses are being reflect ed in many changes. most of them of a minor character and in anticipation of hopes for changes to be made by selling agents. Bleached cottons rule quiet with prices irregular. Colored cottons are quiet, with changes in prices reported Mapped goods are slow and les sthan a 40 per cent fall business has been booked. The strikes affecting 40 mills in New England still continue, and wage matters in that section are still to be fully readjusted. Some curtailment of production is taking place in printing and finishing plants and in some of the yarn and cloth mills in the northern section of the country principally. In the Touth, night operations have become quite general to assist in reducing costs, this being possible now because of the better suppl yof operatives. Job bers are doing very moderate business and are shipping carefully due to credit conditions. They are buying slowly and in most instances from 60 to 90 days ahead only.
 Prices current in primary chan nels are as follows: Print cloths 2S-inch e4x64s, 5sc; 64x6o, SAC; 3S1s inch 64x64s, S1sc; brown sheet ings, southern standard. 11Ac; de- nims, 2.20s, lie; tickings, S-ounce
