SUGAR MARKEr

NEW YORK, Nov. l1.-An advance of hc to the basis of 5.59c duty paid was recorded in the raw sugar market today. Sales were 5,700 bags Cuban prompt shipment to a local refiner.
 The advance in spots, and continued favorable weather in Cuba, which was expected to delay the new crop start, led to renewed covering and commis- sion house buying in raw sugar fu- lures. Prices advanced to points but eased partially under realizing and were finally to points net higher. December closed, 3.97c; March, 3.04c; May, 3.12c; July, 3.22c.
 There were no changes in refined su- gar, prices ranging from 7.15 to 750c for the fine granulated with demand light and of a hand-to mouth character

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The general idea this morning was that there might be some profit taking and hedge selling that would put the market off from yes- terday's close. The only selling, how ever, appeared on the opening and the market quickly advanced under fur ther buying by shorts and the trade. A cable from Manchester indicated that the working hours there would be in- creased from 32 to 39h hours. As the maximum working time is A hours per week, this means that the spinners are now practically working full time and only lack A hours from the maximum. This indicates that there has been a great improvement in the Manchester business and the mills trade must be preparing for activity during the winter months. This necessarily will increase the consumption of American cotton, and not only that, but will broaden the trade for machinery and other incl dentals for increased business in the mills. Fall River reports activity in the print cloth market and shows sales of 100000 pieces already this week, which Is the highest for some time. Con- tracts that are offered in the market at the present are readily taken and it is our belief that the trade have large buying orders at level price outside of temporary setbacks we expect a further improvement in prices. Liverpool flu lures are due tomorrow; December, 13.38d; January, 1S.42d; Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Cotton prices went into new high ground today in the current upward move on more op- timistic dry goods reports, a continu- ance of a rising stock market and buy ing in rather heavy volume by local pro- fessionals who have turned very bull ish since the recent advance of about $aO.50 per bale. Shorts also have be- come converted to the bull side so the technical position of the market must have been weakened in the past two days trading. While believing that cot ton is destined to sell at much higher prices, would confine purchases to pe- riods of weakness. It is we'll to remem- Der that mills will hardly become ra- venous buyers at this time with the in- dicated supply and more especially after more than 200 points advance.-Fen- ner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

NEW YORK. June 19.--Richard
Gimbel 26-year-old scion Of the
fabulously wealthy department store
family, just returned from his
European honeymoon.
Tanned with the suns Of two con
tinents he fatty refused to pose for
ships news photographers.
They Were astouuded. The wealthy
Fhilade.phian had always been SO
graci )us-y accommodating.
kindly, but firmly they asked for
an explanation. He gave it.
Last year when he returned from
abroad he was single There was a
beautiful Chicago girl on board.
They had struck up a ships ac-
quaintapce during the homeward
voyage. The photographer induced
her to pose with the gay Gimble-
as delightful atmosphere to an i'm
rortant picture.
BY the time the innocent picture
was printed in Chicago an enthusiasts
tic caption writer had engaged the
girl to young Gimble.
Two days later she appeared in
his office in a reign of terror, fol
lowing a frantic trip from the
West.
She explained that she had been
in love, engaged to be married. But
when her fance had seen the picture
and misleading title in the home
town newspaper, he had snapped
the love strings and gone his broken
hearted way
Gimbel patched up the fragments
Of the love disaster over long-dis-
lance telephone Immediately, and all
was well-with the Chicago couple.
But as for himself-he was
through with newspaper photog-
raphers.
Gimbel was reminded that condi-
tons were different this year. He
was married-and his wife was with
him.
AS though he had forgotten all
about his marriage, his face bright.
ened at this ready argument of the
crafty photographers.
Sure, he SAID to his wife as
they smiled within range of the
camera, "it DOESN'T make any
trouble if they do say we are en-
gaged--they may even write that we
are married"
