NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The high
er range Of London prices induced
considerable short covering during
the session today. The usual week
end evening up of accounts was
also responsible for good part
of the buying.
Unless something unfavorable
transpires over Sunday it would not
be surprising to see slightly high
cr range of prices, due to an exten
sion of the covering movement, but
it is felt that caution should be ex
ercised and advantage taken on the
recoveries to tighten accounts.
The bank statement issued after
the close made rather a poor ex
hibit, as estimates indicated that
the cash holdings would be in.
creased rather than decreased. The
expansion in the loan account
seemed unusual in view of the re
cent heavy liquidation.

AN EDUCATION IN WINTER,

In this age OF restless and bustling

fed to endure to the end. Mere boys
and mere girls begin this strenuous
battle in their early teens. physically
and mentally immature. They rely

they are not left in the lurch. But ex-
perience and pluck, unaided. cannot do
everything without tremendous waste
of mental and physical energy. Hence
the young man with inadequate mental
training sees his fcllowmen all about
him rapidly leaving him behind In
tho financial and social race. simply

The subject is under discussion all
over the country, the halls of Congress
not excepted. And everywhere the
question is asked, what are the causes?
Many answers are given. There is
too much gold in circulation, some say
Too little food Is produced. other claim
The population is increasing, by birth
and immigration, faster than the tillers
of tho soil and owners of orchards,
flocks, and herds, can produce grain,
fruit, meat. etc. Others hold that
plenty Is produced, but that a large
per cent of 1t is withdrawn from the
market, by trusts and combinations, in
order to keep the price up. Eggs, but
ter. poultry, they say, are held in cold
storage for years rather than sold at
a reasonable figure. Still others point
out that millions of American dollars

The cost of government is added to tho
price of everything in the market. The
taxes arc added to the cost of the ar

When the question is asked why the
prices In one city are so much higher
than in another. neither the ovcrpro-
duction of gold nor the neglect OF
farming. nor the export of money, &C.
counts for the anomaly. But tho mis-
