 THE STORY
 . A new star has blazed in the theatri- cal world in Paris. She is La Phalene a girl of gentle birth-Elise Duchanier who through misfortune became maid to Lolette, dancer. The latter's spite full machinations against her maid mis- carry and Elise outshines her.
 Elise, sole support of ,an invalid sis ter, is warned by the elderly. Dr. La. pierre, who loves her, that she has only year to live. Suitors gather about La Phalene, including Maurice Brunei, her manager, and Count Nor dac. Tom Kendrick, an American of a different sort, whom she met earlier, has left Paris. It is he who has made the deepest impression on her.
 Brunei takes her to dinner. She mocks him. Elise determines to pro- tect herself by the number of her suit ors, yielding to none, and to live splen- didly in the year that is left to her She meets Dontanelli, an Italian, and Ahmed, an aristocrat from the East
 CHAPTER sa--AvALANCHE WITHIN few weeks came the w catastrophe which changed the
 fame of La Phalene into noto. riety and made Elise stop dead in her headlong plunge into life and ask her. self whither she was going.
 It was partly her own fault; partly a mischievous fate.
 Ahmed was tiring Elise. In this hec- tic life there was no room for a man who moped in corner. That love she still had for Kendrick filled her heart to the exclusion of all other love. She was loveless woman fleeing from love

S business turns into the final "A stretch of its 1924 journey after
 completing the first three or four laps, some comparisons with the first nine months of 1923 are pertinent and, furthermore, somewhat disconcerting to those who consider this year as mostly dismal failure. It is, in fact, rather difficult to reconcile the recoil of indus try activity with the more cheerful pie ture presented by other fundamental business barometers, especially if it be considered that the first half of last year was a decidedly hectic period com mercially.
 In this connection, the above illustra- tions provide much food for reflection. Unfavorable records for the nine months are most apparent in manufac- turing circles. But the production of pig iron and automobiles and the aver age daily rate of steel ingot output were greater during the first nine months of 1923 than for the same period of any other year on record, which lessens to a degree the severity of this

years decline. Failures have been more numerous in 1924 by 5.1 per cent. They are now declining, however. Up to the end of September, carloadings oi freight had been below those of the corresponding period of 1923 by 4.3 per cent, yet again 1t is necessary to call attention to the fact that the figure foI last year was record-breaking.
 Turning in other directions, we find that, for the nine months, bank clear ings were 2.6 per cent greater, exports 6.3 per cent more valuable, chain store sales 13.7 per cent larger, and mail or der sales 6.6 per cent higher. All these results indicate plainly, when con sidered in conjunction with the fairly satisfactory record of carloadings, that consumption of commodities during 1924 has been at least normal. A logi- cal conclusion, therefore, Is that 1922 business as a whole has not been great ly subnormal in volume and that the drab outcome of the year in some di- rections has been due to other causes such as, perhaps, unreasonably small margins of profit,

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Cables this morning were somewhat lower than due, but improved during the trading with considerable buying from Liver pool in this market. Private dispatches reported buying in anticipation of conservative victory in the English general election, as to which anticipa- tion American opinions are of little value. Here the demand for October commitments prevented any decline m the market and the volume of hedge selling is small when compared to the movement of the crop. Local feeling is somewhat less bearish than was the case last~w week, but there is little in centive to activity on the bull side. The strength of the market lies in the grad ual expansion of trade, which Is reflect ed in a steady, although not noticeable, absorption of cotton, so that the heavy movement of the crop does not press upon the market as would be the case were there not trade orders to absorb the daily receipts. In this country, trade is not so active but there is a gradual improvement in sentiment and 1t is expected that if the election Is sat- isfactory and definite and if the price of raw cotton continues to show steadi- ness, there will be an increase in the demand for goods. The uncertainty in- duced by frequent government estimates is subsiding owing to the steadiness of prices and the growing feeling that the size of the crop is fairly well estab- lisbed. Weather conditions in the south today were more favorable, the rain in the Atiantics having stOpped.-Hub- bard Bros. & Go.
