 Covering by shorts as well as invest rent buying by present holders of grain kept the corn market strong all day The accumulation of stocks which has Leen observed for weeks was ignored by the traders as the quotations gained frac- tionally and an improved spring de- mand gave impetus to the trade.

The quotatiors on futures continued strong to the close of the session, specu- lative buying and a strong demand from cash houses kept the oats pit active and prices throughout the session.

COTTON PRICES
 AT 4 STANDST|LL
Realizing Takes Place But the
 Market Closes Steady
SELLERS ARE SCARCE
Belief that May Options May He Cor nercd Keeps the shorts Nervous and Downward Tendency Is
 stopped Very Short

New York. March 12.-While cables were somewhat reactionary and there was some realizing for over the week end, the cotton market made 8 gen orally steady showing today. closing steady net 3 points lower to points higher. The opening was steady at a decline of to Il points in response to lower cables and scattering liqui- dation, but southern bull leaders checked the decline by bidding for large blocks of the near months and the market soon rallied on the sup port from this source and renewed covering.
 The strength of the old crop situ- ation, bullish weak end figures and the various rumors regarding the possibll- ities of a May squeeze appeared to keep the short interest fin the near posi- tons very nervous and there was ev- dently very little disposition to sell for short account. From 14.70c on the call May contracts advanced to 14.91c or 3 points net higher and closed al 14.SSc bid.
 The active months generally were unchanged to 4 points higher on the call with October relatively firm as a result of covering and more spec ulative interest owning to the prospect for a small carry-over into the new season and continued complaints of m unsatisfactory crop outlook in Texas.
 Private cables attributed the set back in Liverpool to scattered selling in Q narrow market and the detailed state ment of a prominent English statisti- clan added no weight to the cables re- ceived some days ago estimating the worlds consumption of American cot ton for the season at 11,520,000 bales Weekly reviews of the dry goods trade presented To fresh feature and the weather map showed no rain in tn Q southwest.
 Receipts at the ports today, 11,36s bales against S521 last week and 650 last year. For the week, 70.000 bales against 77,105 last week and 95,442 las; year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 2366 against 1872 last year and a; Houston, 1719 against 4074 last year.

A New Way to Swear or Taxes

From Success Ma agazine.
 The best way of not paying taxes on your personal property is to swear them off. By Swearing off" is meant going to the tax assessor and making deposition that you really don't live where you seem to live, that you really don't own what you seem to own, and that, while you appear to be q very rich man, you are really overburdened by debts which you have hitherto sue cessfully concealed. Since personal taxes began so many ways of swearing off have been invented that the tax au- thorities had come to believe that there was no new tax dodge under the sun.
 But the tax authorities were mis- taken. A few days ago a man came to the New York tax commissioners and asked to be relieved of his personal taxes
 q have only s5000.' he said, and that money Is in city bonds and is be- ing held in trust"
 For whom?" asked the tax commis- sioner.
 The question was unexpected. and at first there was no answer, but the tax commissioner insisted. Finally, in a stage whisper, the swearer off cx- plained.
 "The money is held in trust during $ his lifetime--for my dog"

Doe. the Butcher Charge Too Muchs

 Louis F. Swift in Leslie's
 The retailer does business under a large expense for rent and other. fixed charges, and most of them could handle a larger volume of business without any increase in these fixed charges, with the Qonse- ouent result of being able to do business on a smaller percentage of profit. The progressive retailer realizes this, and is continually adve rtisirg through the local rress and neiehborhood circulars to in- crease his business es much as possible. Meat is Of different grades practically .he same classification governing as that for any other commodity. The highest quality, on account of the scarcity and excessive call, demards tho highest price, The retailer naturally buys such grades and cuts of meat as he feels he can sell to advantage ,n meeting the demands of his trade. The terms by which the differ ent grades of beef are usually designated srre: No. 1 grade, choice quality; No ? grade, good quality; No. 8 grade, medium quality. I should say that 90 per cent of the meat at present marketed is what is known as No. 3 grade, while the No. 1 grade is in great demand and relatively more expensive. Thus it will be seen tlnt the quality of the meat should be taken into consideration when comparing prices ard the cost of former food prices with those of today. The extensive demands of the consumer for the highest grades of meat and tEe choscest cuts. coupled with. in most cases. immediate delivery. tend to greatly increase the retailers cost of do- ing business.

By RALPH EMERSON

New York, March 12.-l lSpecial9-A q natural sequence to the prolessl9iis' T ise and fall of the stock markft tniS "eeN there was a period of apathy toaay' lie Inactivity seemed to result from cautious investors who are holding aloof while the market is being influenced up and doWn by several master hands deaiihs Ill mgr 1y manipulated securities.
 The foreign markets were synpathetlc- ally apathetic, while London is waiting money developments. The opening was dull generally at small fractional ad- vances. Amalgamated Copper started with a A advance, which was looked upon as covering by shorts rather than genuine accumulation. United States Steel made an initial gain of 1s and closed F up liar riman issues showed good strength union Pacific closing F higher. There was con- siderable bulish activity in Rock Island, which closed ss higher
 After the first hour the market ruled quiet and without special feature. There was great deal of liquidation by pro- fessional spectators. Amalgamated Cop per. which was one of the strongest feat ures in the first hour, lost it's gain on proft-taking.
 The bank statement today did not give a fevorab b1e showing. The bank reserves decreased S, 71S, GOO, leaving an actual sur  plus of $7000,000, a very low figure for this time.
 The effect upon Amalgamated Copper from the transfer of it's stock to the Hist ed department and the resultant pub 1icity of it's affairs, has not been more than noticeable. It gave some interesting facts, however, showing the grip which the corporation has upon the Montana and adjacent fields.
 Unless the foreign exchange rises and the Bank of England promptly secures sufficient gold to check the depletion of It's reserve, a rise in the bank rate from 3 per cent to 4 per cent will be made next Thursday, according to a cable to- day.
 After the narrow range of trading the New York market closed uncertain and dull
 Call money ruled nomnally at 2s4. Gov ernment bonds were unchanged. Indus trial and railroad bonds were dull but unchanged. Total sales on the stock ex- change were 22S, 200 shares.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York March 2-tSpecial)-The usual reaction on Saturday occurred today in Liverpool but this market showed a quiet strength after the decline at the opening, which was rather unexpected. On the quick advance in May yesterday noon some cotton was pointed here for delivery, which brought about the weak ness in that position at the opening, when the bulls took the offerings. Buying or ders in October were accepted as an in- dication of the uneasness felt at the ab- sence of rain in Texas.
 As the position in Liverpool is a strong one the upward movement appears to be checked only by the offering of cotton at about 15c. If the European markets ab- sorb these cottons a further improvement is likely to occur. The incident of yester- day In Manchester indicates the desire of the English spinner to buy directly from the farmer Liverpool should be points higher on Monday.

Advertising the Colleges

cone of the factors of American college and university management of rapid growth in recent years is the practice of systematic advertising,' says Henry S. Pritchett, writing in the issue of Har- per's Weekly for February 19. .'rfhe Brit ish habit of advertising for professors is certainly more frank and less commer- cial in it's tendency than our habit of advertising for students. The latter prac- tice has grown enormously in the past ten years, and has developed from occa- slonal sporadic notices in local papers to bureaus of publicity and systematic ad- vertisine." Harvard college appears to have led in this matter, it's first adver- tisement having appeared in 1870, says the author, and today some 20 of our leading colleges and universities. and some 300 other educational institutions, advertise regularly.

Manchester. March 12.-Business in the cloth market showed no material change during the week. China took occasional special lots for immediate delivery. India bought light cloths and the home trade absorbed a fair quantity at late rates. The turnover, however, was below the average, and there Is no desire anywhere to place large contracts at the quotations the manufacturers are compelled to ask with raw cotton at present prices. Yarns experienced a dragging demand for fine American assortments, but medium and lower qualities sold more freely at un- changed prices. Egyptian fabrics were dul1
