The Law-Evading Financiers.

Philadelphia North American.
 Even in advance of the filing of suit against the railroad merger by Attorney General Knox the promoters Of the Securities Company are pointing out how easy 1t will be to circumvent any deci- sion that may be rendered against them. "The whole question" says one director. 'is merely technical one. If our pres ent plan Is found not to he legal we can accomplish the same results by some other means" Another director of the company. in the same spirit, suggests that all difficulties could be overcome "by securing a charter in Montreal, London or Bermuda or elsewhere. for it Is cer- tain that the United States authorities foreign corporation holding the shares of these Northwestern railways" The whole thought of these eminent financiers' ap- pears to be as to how they can evade the laws with impunitv The principles of equity and justice on which the statutes are based in no wise concern them.

R. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

lby Special Leased wire.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-The change of temper in the English market was noted by a further advance of 3k64 in deliveries and 3-32 in spots today. It seems as if the first appearance of demand from Japan was sui hcient to dispel the feeling of security that was inclined to be established in Liverpool on account of the accumulated stocks of cot ton there in excess of last year. Prices here were enhanced again without any special ef- fort. Trading was extensive and In conse- quence of liberal profit taking wider huctuau- tions were observed, though the tone remained steady under the influence of a good demand attracted by reports of a material falling of In receipts at various interior towns. Closing quotations are about points higher than yes terday.
 The market has beyond dispute shown con. siderable strength by advancing steadily in the face of continuous liquidation by long holders This condition Is regarded by some as the result of eleventh hour bulls substitut- ing those who had long since anticipated pres ent events. yet there is little doubt that an actual increase in trade requirements afforded material assistance in establishing the exist ing level of values. Meanwhile it would be prudent to consider that the advance has pro- ceeded quite rapidly and 1t is very proba be that large portion of the speculative short interest has been eliminated by force Thus with prices ranging in the neighborhood of g cents the possibility of violent fluctuations Is increased and such contingencies should be in general there Is no perceptible change to note. Sentiment remains decidedly favorable. and If anything. is strengthened by the belief that the long expected perpendicular drop In receipts will be observed without much fur ther delay.

Higher Education of Women.

New York Sun.
 There has grown up a class of well educated independent. self-reliant young women, some from the colleges. who seem to be content as they are and to feel no call to marriage. They are content with their own lines. Celibacy and self-devel- opment seem to be their creed. It strikes us that the widening education of women may have some tendency-we wish to avoid oversta atement-not to unfit educat- ed women for marriage. but to make some of them undesirous of marriage We will not say that they are harder to please or more conscious of their supe- riority. They have a life that suits them. but it is narrower life, after all, than of the married woman whose lot some of them pitN

NEW YORK. March 6.z-Higher prices were again recorded on cotton today influenced by very favorable Liverpool and liberal buying by locals and outside public Statistics and receipts were ignored for the time being, and bullish sentiment seems to predomnate. Ro- ceipts at all ports were about 5000 more than last year, although estimates for Hous- ton and New Orleans tomorrow were about half of what they were for the corresponding time last year. Houston expects tomorrow g.. $500 to 4.ooo, against 7.6oo All ports footed up 2l. 900. against i7,ooo last year. During several parts of the session there was evidence of liberal realizing by some of the locals. but offerings were readily absorbed.
