 A writer in last weeks issue in re- ferring to the rise in prices of some of the necessities of life seemed to look at the matter as though it were good they found themselves(or words to that effect) Think if his pocketbook was empty with no prospect of it's be- ing filled and the oil can, flour barrel and coal bin in the same condition as the pocketbook, the writer's philosphy would be put to a test which would make it plain to him that there was more than one standpoint from which to look.

VISIT TO THE VATICAN.
Yet PrObIematic as to Whether Ed
ward Will Pay One.

Rome, April At seems that the
fact about King Edward coming to
Rome and the possibility of his meet
ing the Pope are that the King has
not yet been asked to visit the Pope,
and therefore all the means suggest
ed for the meeting are problematic.
The Vatican thinks that. owing to
the number of Catholics in the British
Empire, especially in Ireland and Cana
da, the King will not come to Rome
without trying to see the Pope, as
otherwise it would appear to be an in
territorial offense. Anticipating the
Kings visit. there is now an element
at the Vatican advocating a deviation
from the ceremonial established at the
time of Emperor Williams first visit,
by allowing the King to start from
the British Embassy, where he will be
met by Monsignor Stonor, the Canon
of st. John Lateran and the highest
English prclate here, who will accom-
pany him to the Vatican. However, It
is probable that the King will not go
to the Vatican, if he comes to Rome for
one day only, as seems likely, accord
ing to the latest information on the
subject.

MAY COTTON AT
ITS HIGHEST MARK.
Futures Went Up to 1920 Under n
FURRY of Shorts.

New York, April 4.-Extensive COW
ering by the shorts sent the price of
May cotton up twenty points to 1920
to-day. This is the highest figure
reached in the present movement, ex-
ceeding by points the record price
for May cotton touched during the
Sully-Price contests a few weeks ago.
From the top figure May declined 10
points and then made a partial rally.
From outward indications the bull ele-
ment seemed to oppose, rather than
encourage, the advance, which was due
primarily to realization by the shorts
of the difficulty of meeting contracts.
All ordinary market conditions were
ignored, however, in the wild scram-
BILE to cover.
July cotton was a good second in the
excitement that attended the opening,
selling up to 9.73c, and there was talk
of a possible corner in that option. The
market steadied soon after the open
ing, but continued more or less irreg-
ular.
A continuance of short covering kept
prices pretty near the top, and the
closing was strong and steady.

him, took the money from him and

The greatest dissatisfaction was ex-

At some of the collieries the men laid

violation of the agreement.
Meetings of the local unions were

Cancellation committees of operators

commission. Officials of the union as
such are not permitted to interfere in
