'COTTONs NEW HIGH RECORD
Short Crop Shown BY Govern
ment Estimate.

New York (Special) The gov
ernment's annual estimate OF the
cotton crop was published Friday and
caused 9 very sharp advance in
prices of all active deliveries, max
ing new high records for the season
In the New York market, with May
contracts selling at 151s cents, or
"a points, equal to 1920 per bale,
above the closing figures OF the pre-
vious day. At this price there was
sensationally heavy realizing by bull
spectators, but the prospect for an
American crop of 11,426, 900 bales,
excluding linters, seemed to be bring
ing in buying orders from all direc-
tons, and after a quick break from
1880 to 1913, May quickly rallied
to 1870 in an active and excited
market.
There was big business right up
to the last moment, and the market
closed firm at a net advance Of $40
4S points, with May contracts quoted
at 1870, compared with 1886, the
closing price Of last night.
FTlOF 10 the puDl1caClOn OF the
government estimate the market had
been very nervous and for the past
week or more there had been more
or less heavy liquidation by smaller
speculative longs. apprehensive that
prices were based on an underesti-
mate of the yield. At one time DUR
ing the early trading May contracts
had sold at 1870, a decline OF about
so points from the high record Of
the season established on November
%, when May sold at 1910.
The report, consequently, found
the market pretty well liquidated of
scattering speculative long interest
and there also seemed to be large
number Of bullishly disposed opera
tors who had taken profits, and who
were brought back into the market
by the prospect for supply which
they considered insufficient to meet
the normal requirements of the sea-
son.
The bears maintain that the gov
eminent must have underestimated
the crop.

AGE AND HUMAN USEFULNESS

At what age are men at their best?
The pessimistic theory attributed to
Doctor Osler, which he afterward re-
pudiated. that the golden age is thir-
ity-five, or Whereabouts. that 1t is fol
lowed inevitably by waning powers,
and that there should be provision for
chloroforming all who threaten to sur
vive the age of sixty, has never had
many serious adherents. says the Mil
waukee Evening Wisconsin. It is gem
orally conceded that thirty-fiye is
rather the beginning than the end Of
the prime Of life. and that the Wig
orous human individual who lives
sanely and cheerfully may do more
in some important fields of activity
after he has acquired the ripe judg-
ment that comes with experience than
dn the heyday Of the thirties and for
ties. DIR. T. M. Crothers Of Hartford.
Conn, has come forward with a dec.
laration that is quite as interesting as
the one Doctor Osler disowned, and
that ought to attract equally wide at
tention. He says that there are
many reasons for believing that we
carry around with us great reserve
powers, and unknown energies which
are seldom used, and that in old age
appeal to these powers may give a
certain vigor entirely unexpected.
which lengthens our life and prac.
tically overcomes disease" He also
says that "the man past sixty and
from that on to eighty ought to be at
his very best because life is then no
experiment. and he has attained pc
sition where he can use all his pow.
ers to the best advantage" Doctor
Crothers insists that there is no the
DRY In this, but that It lis sustained by
great variety of facts which fortu.
nately are becoming more realized as
the years go by"
