COVERING SENT UP PRICE.
Highest Figure Reached During

Highest Figure Reached During
 Present Movement.
 New York, April 4-Extensive covering by the shorts sent May cotton up 20 points to 1920 today.
 This is the highest figure reached in the present movement, exceeding by three points the record price for May cotton, touched during the Sully- Price contest a few weeks ago.
 From the top figure May declined 10 points and then made e partial rally.
 From outward indication, the bull ele- ment seemed to oppose rather than en- courage the advance which was due pri- marily to realization by the shorts of the difficuity of meeting contracts.
 All ordinary market conditions were ignored. however, in the wild scramble to cover.
 July cotton was a good second in the excitement that attended the opening, selling up to 9.73 and there was talk of a possible corner in that option.
 The market steadied soon after the opening. but continued more or less irregular.
 A continuance of short covering kept prices pretty near the top and the closing was strong and steady. May closed 1oA to 15.o0: July, s.es to 9.7O; Septem- Der, S.73 to STA and November s.Ss to s.17

 Men excel in originality, women in dexterity. It is better to have them thrown together so that each can get the better of the others type of mind.
 If we could drop the social butterflies and do-nothing dandies from the campus. most of the evils of the university sys- tenn would disappear.
 Too many students go to Harvard for social preferment. They so to do-noth- ing studies and then coach up for exam nations.
 The small college should content itself with doing junior college work. Four years is too short instead of too long a time for a college course"
