the support of the statistics For instance
Smith college graduates show a few more
wives but fewer mothers than Eassar Welles
ley. however reaches the limit in this direc-
ton
During the first ten years ending with the
class of 1888. there were four hundred and
thirty-six Wellesley graduates Of this num-
Der two hundred and three, or 40 SIS per cent .
were married in 1903 Of these forty had no
children at all. Among the remaining one
hundred and ninetv-three there were two hun
dred and eighty-six surviving children
By way of contrast it may be noted that IN
French Canada, where marriage is still the
natural state of man well as woman, the
average family has % children
One reason, to state 1t paradoxically, why
college men and women do not marry is be-
cause they marry late. Education delays the
marriage of professional men in this country
and in England from two to three years The
average man marries at ? ~ years OF age. The
professional man waits till he is thirty. Women
are at the meridian. as far as marriage Is con-
cerned. at "a ; years Professional women
when they do not remain single, marry at
90 4 years.

The Reasons They Give

OCCASIONALLY when a sense of their con-
~ dtion and their isolation rises to the
surface in the minds of these unconnected
men and women they have tried to tell US
about it For instance here is statement
ran across recently
In fine, then, do not marry because we
prefer to spend our money in other ways: be-
cause an establishment is a nuisance because
a wife Is not so necessary to our happiness as
other luxuries: because there is good like
independence. because much as we should like
marriage there is aggregate of other things.
the sum of which pleases us better My point
is not that marriage is an evil my point IS
that it is good, but not good as the sum
of many other things
Another one of them. speaking impersonay
and epigrammatically, says. The more eligible
the bachelor the less inclined he is to barter
his freedom for few chaste smiles and little
practised indifference. He has acquired ex-
pensive habits and an aversion to self denial
The inducements that marriage offers are not,
on the whole, sufficient He prefers the game

COTTON RECOVERED
SESSIONS LOSSES
Inquiries Lacking in Local
Spot Market.

Cotton took quite a dip" yester-
day, but wound up the session with
small net losses at New York and
about as large net gains at New
Orleans. At one time contract values
were full quarter of a cent below the
close for Thursday. The controlling
influence was the strike in the Lam
cashire district. In the early part
of the session discouraging reports
were received as to the settlement
and prices took a slide. In the after
noon the report was that the strike
had been settled The market f1rmed
up promptly, the rebound being prac-
tically of sufficient proportions to
absorb the losses from the opening
figures.
The New York market opened 2
to 6 points lower Price changes were
narrow and frequent during the ses-
sion, in the morning the news from
abroad depressing prices, after an
advance had been made The net
losses were from % to &c points be-
fore the market started upward. The
close was practically at opening prices
steady to Z points net lower for the
day. Spot prices were marked off
Is points. New Orleans opened 2
to ) points higher At first the ten
dency was to advance, but later prices
slumped q to % points below the
close for the day before, but steadied
and rose to higher levels At times
the changes were sharp, the recovery
being rapid, as we'll as the slump. The
close was to points higher for
the active months as compared with
the close for the day before. Middling
spots were reduced 1-8c.
Liverpool opened to points down
for the active positions, but broke
on the hitch in the strike negotia-
tons At the 2 o'clock call the mar
ket was 7 to II points off. An i'm
provement occurred before the close
which was steady, to points be-
low the final for Thursday. Spot
prices were reduced 10 points, with
sales of 5000 bales.
The receipts at Galveston for the
day were 8,148 bales and at Savannah
$3.50. The estimate for Galveston to-
day is 1000 bales against 10000 last
year.
Business was practically suspended
in the local spot market. At the low
point for futures sales could only
have been affected at consider
able reductions from quotations. AT
ter the recovery inquiries were still
lacking. No cotton was offering, how
ever. The quotations are unchanged
from Thursday.
