COTTON
NEW YORK, May 27.—The cotton market
showed renewed firmness at the opening
today on the report of a southern authority,
pointing to a condition of 63. a reduction of
31 per cent in acreage, and a prospective
crop of only 7,040,000 bales. First prices
were 13 to 17 points higher, and active
m'.nths sold 25 to 30 points above last
night’s closing during the first few min
utes, with July touching 13.13 c and October
13.95 c. Wall street and local traders were
active buyers but the advance met consid- |
erable realizing and southern and Liverpool
selling, as a result of which there were
reactions of a few points before the end of
the first hour. Liverpool was better than
due.
Tl.e more active demand seemed to have
been supplied on the early advance and the
market was quieter late in the morning,
with prices showing reactions under southern
selling and realizing. July sold off to
12.99 c and October to 13.78 c, or within 10
to 13 joints of last night’s closing quota
tions. Two more private reports were
issued, one making the condition 65.4, the
decrease in acreage 26 to 30 per cent and
the reduction in the use of fertilizers 47
per cent. The other placed the condition
at 66, the rediction in acreage at 29 per
cent and the decrease in fertilizers at 49
per eent.
No fresh feature developed during the
•arly afternoon and trading remained quiet
with prices holding around 13.01 for July
•nd 13.78 for October, or about 12 to 13
points net higher.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 27.—Bullish crop
accounts caused a rise of 28 to 29 points
in the early trading in cotton today, but
heavy selling met the gains and soon caused
a reaction. Much of this selling appeared
to come from the buyers of the last hour
of the session yesterday. At the en dos the
first hour of business prices were 10 points
off from the highest. July traded as high
as 12.70 c and October as high as 13.42 c.
The weakness of foreign exchange and the
■mail sales reported by Fall River this
week—9o,ooo pieces of print cloth, against
180,000 last week—caused further liquida
tion, and at It o’clock prices were only 10
to 11 points over the finals of yesterday,
with July trading at 12:51c.
Larger mill takings than expected, 199,-
000 bales against 213,000 this week last
year and 85.000 this week two years ago.
caused upturns of ten points or so, but to
ward the close there was further liquida
tion of long cotton and prices fell off to
the lowest again, the most active months
going to net losses of 11 points, with July
down to 12.50 c.

SHEPARD & GLUCiTcOTTON LETTER-
NEW ORLEANS, La., May 27.—The cot
ton market started off today with a stiff
advance but liquidation by recent buyers
soon filled the demand up and during the
remainder of the day the tendency was to
stay at small reactions from the topmost
levels. On the initial rise, prices sent 28
to 29 points higher than the close yester
day. The reaction pared the gains down
to 10 to 11 points, but toward the close the
market was IS to 19 points up, July traded
as high as 12.70 and fell off to 12.30.
The National Ginners' association report
on the crop caused most of the early buy
ing and Liverpool said that it ha ’ stimu
lated an advance there. According to this
I bureau the condition of the crop is 63.1
I percent of normal, the acr> ag • las been
reduced by 31 per < ent and the indicated
J crop is only 7,040,000 bales. The Memphis
Commercial-Appeal issued a report, placing
the condition at 68.4, ami the reduction in
acreage at from 26 to 30 er cent.
The market might have held its early
strength better but for the weakness of
fooreign exchange and there was, of course,
a tendency on the long side to hold things
down because of the triple holidays fol
lowing the close today. On the opening
of the market nest Thursday will be the
main consideration, unless weather condi
tions over the belt develop strongly, one
way or the other, over the holidays.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: The present
outlook favors purchases on breaks.
Moyse <fc Holmes: Recent buying in cot
ton has been altogether speculative probably
influenced by small crop estimates.
J. S. Bache Co.: We believe the market
lew enough for the present.
Hubbard Bros ; It is natural that the
trade, after the difficulties of the past year
should hesitat” regarding the future and that
they should feel it will be a long time be-

MACON, Ga.. May 27.—5. B. ;
Brown was awarded a verdict of $7,- ,
500 by a jury Wednesday in a suit i
for damages against the Case ’Fowler
company and G. A. Wallace, which
was begun Monday before Judge IL
A. Mathews in the superior court.
Judge Malcolm D. Jones was dis- |
qualified because of his having for
merly been counsel in the case.
Mr. Brown filed suit against the
Case Fowler company for $2,500 and
asked that an injunction be granted
against the company and Wallace on |
the ground that in cutting timber
from lands leased by Wallace to the
Case Fowler company that the com
pany had corssed the land line over
onto his property. The land in dis
pute involved about 260 acres in Lee |
county.
The plaintiff amended the suit
Tuesday and asked for $5,000 dam
ages for timber cut from his lands
and that the temporary injunctoin j
granted be made permanent. In i
awarding its verdict the jury gave ■
$2,500 more than was asked and this
was written off by attorneys for the
plaintiff. Mr. Brown also won the
land in question, the injunction be
ing granted. It was said by attor
neys in the case Wednesday that the
case would be appealed.

ANNISTON, Ala.. May 27.—Judge
James F. Creen former city recorder
and well known attorney, entered a
plea of guilty in United States dis
trict court here Thursday to a charge

been at his home here under bond
and too ill to be tried.

court, announced that sentence would
not be passed upon Creen until the

Briand Has Swung
French Opinion Into
Greater Toleration
PARIS, May 26. —Premier Briand
appeared today to have swung
French opinion into greater tolera
tion for Germany.
It was confidently believed here
that the chamber of deputies will
approve his course in regard to
reparations and his handling of the
| Upper Silesia situation.
A vote of confidence would serve
to restore fully the cordial relations
of the allies and would permit the
supreme council to proceed with its
plans for dividing Silesia between
the Germans and Poles.
With rail traffic restored in
Silesia, allied detachments there re
ported they were restoring order
gradually. The situation was ex
pected to be cleared up entirely when
the Polish government answers the
allied demand that she close her
Silesian frontier as Germany has
done. With France joining in the
demand it was believed Poland will
obey.

Charlotte Graves became Mrs.
Anthony Harriman almost before
she had time to think about mar
riage. She loved Tony, but when
Tony brought her to the city she
did not fit in at all with the pop
ular idea of what Tony’s wife
should be. Mrs. Harriman would
have preferred Edith Comstock,
one of the most popular girls ot
the younger set, and she took no
trouble to hide the fact.
CHAPTER XXIV
REVELATION
I? was when the Harrimans -went
down to their country place on
Leong Island early in June that
Charlotte suffered her keenest hu
miliation. She had been so intimi
dated by the fact that nothing she
did seemed to please her new rela
tives that she was utterly self-con
scious and did everything under a
straifi.
She loved this place from the first
moment she glimpsed it through the
trees. The sweep of emerald lawn,
the curving driveway leading through
trees to the low white Colonial
house with its wide verandas. Green
and white awnings added a color note
and carefully tended flower beds
blazed riotously here and there.
Here she had a freedom from the
irksome restraint that had held her
in the city, but here also she was
required to do things and to be p’iaces
where she felt entirely out of her
element. She would have loved
roaming through the grounds at twi
light or in the early evening, but in
stead she must be dressed in a new
frock and motor over to the country
club where the young people danced
and the older ones sat in adjoining
rooms playing poker gnd bridge.
Charlotte was a hanger-on at dances.
She was too shy to tell peop’ie her
thoughts and her reserve was always
taken for primness by the younger
crowd, who were forced to take her
because of Tony.
Edith tried to teach her tennis, but
she showed no aptitude, she did not
show to advantage in any way until
they motored over to the water one
day and Charlotte saw the ocean for
the first time. She was akin to it
instantly—the wild waste of sea had
no fears for her—and she showed the
wildest enthusiasm over learning to
swim. It was astounding the prog
ress she made and Tony was really
delighted, until after a strenuous
hour or two, she had to be carried
out white and faint admitting that
she had overdone. It had been her
one chance of making good with the
crowd and she hacf spoiled it.
It was with mixed feelings that
she realized not long afterward that
she was to become a mother. She
dared not think of how she would
feel about this big event if she were
happy, but as things were at present,
she could not tell whether Tony
would be pleased or not, and the
thought of telling him filled her with
if vague terror. Fear gripped her in
its toils as we'il, for the thought of
being all alone without sympathy and
without understanding was over
whelming.
She turned her head from side to
side restlessly, tears of sheer self
pity forcing themselves from undes
her lashes and running down her
cheeks. Finally the sound of voices
in the hall recalled her to herself.
Tony might come in any minute and
he must not find her like this. She
forced herself to a sitting posture
and realized that she felt much bet
ter. Her brain was clearer, too, and
something of the wonder of it all had
brought a. warm little glow to her
heart. For the present she deci led
not to speak of it to any one; the
wonderful secret should be her very
own, and when she bad the courage
to tell Tony the truth, who knows
perhaps he might welcome it as won
derful news.
chaftsiFxxv
’ Tha lieturn of Nick
IT WAS shortly before dinner and
Tony, in passing along thq hall
on his way to his own room,
knocked on his mother’s door.
Janice opened to him, holding the
door slightly ajar, but when she saw
who it was admitted him to the
sanctum sanctorium with a smile. Ja
nice had been with Mrs. Harriman
for six years and she had absorbed
all traditions of the family. Like all
people in her own class of life she
believed thoroughly in caste. Al
though nothing had ever been said
to her on the subject of Tony’s mar
riage, and although she never would
have presumed to mention it herself
nor to allow any of the servants to
talk of it in her presence, she was
shrewd, and knew exactly how Mrs.
Harriman felt about it. She felt that
Tony had married beneath him and
although she felt no enmity toward
Charlotte, she did not approve of
her as Tony’s wife.
Mrs. Harriman was seated in a
chair with her head back, her face
covered with ice packed in soft
cloths. It was only by ’the greatest
care that she retained her girlish
complexion, and she emerged now
fresh and rosy as a girl to smile up
at Tony as he dropped into a low
chair near her.
“That will do, Janice; you can go,
and I’ll call you when I want my
hair done. What is it, dear?” as Jan
ice withdrew, closing the door softly
behind her. “Has anything gone
wrong?”
Tony’s face looked troubled.
“It’s nothing much, but I heard
this afternoon that Nick Fowler was
visiting the Grants. He will prob
ably be at the club tonight.”
Mrs. Harriman looked annoyed.
“Why on earth have the Grants in
vited him?” she said, biting her lip.
“It isn’t as if we didn’t know them
well, we can't suddenly cut them be
cause Nick Fowler happens to be
their guest.’’
“See here, mother.” said Tony
bluntly. "You don’t really think
that Charlotte would do anything un
dignified?”
Mrs. Harriman was silent.
“Don’t you like her at all, mother?”
“What do you think, Tony?” she
asked quickly. “Are you entirely
satisfied with the way Charlotte has
been behaving? Does she seem to
want to do the things that will please
you, or is she always determined to
do just the opposite?”
“Shet doesn’t like the young people:
she thinks they're artificial.” Tony’s
tone was extenuating.
“Yes, she won’t make friends with
Edith, and yet she likes that queer
Hastings girl, the one who wears the
queer clothes and goes in for literary
SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921.
work. If it were Clara Hastings, I
wouldn't be surprised, but Charlotte
seems bent on liking the people she
oughtn’t to know.”
Tpny was silent. He was thinking
of how different his life was from
the way he had planned it. He had
thought that Charlotte could be man
aged, but from that day when she
had gone to the theater with Nick
Fowler, he had felt that there were
depths in Charlotte that he had never
sounded. He often wondered if the
wrong lay with him, for he was not
entirely a cad. But his ideas of life
had been given to him by his mother,
who was herself a slave to the con
ventions, and so far he had not
broken away from the older order of
things enough to establish standards
for himself. .
Janice broke in upon his revery
with the respectful reminder that it
was 7 o’clock, and Tony rose.
“Do you want me to speak to
Charlotte?” Mrs. Harriman asked
softly, looking up at him as he stood
for a moment beside her.
“No, there is nothing we could say.
Besides we may be putting an entire
ly wrong construction on the thing,
mother. I can't believe that Char
lotte has a wrong thought in her
head.”
Mrs. Harriman rai. cd her expres
