FEWER INFANT DEATHS
Record of 222 Last Week One
of Years Lowest Points.

The tide turned once more last week In
favor Of the babies. the death record
reaching one Of the lowest points OF the
year. with only 222 deaths OF infants I'M
der one year Of age. This IS 80 less than
occurred during the week before and y
less than during the corresponding week
OF 1871.
The last week Of october, therefore, IN
a large" measure redeems the unfortunate
record of the two middle weeks OF the
month. During the year as whole there
has been a net gain In the record as com
parcd with last year. At the beginning
OF october there had becp SSi fewer
deaths under one year than up 10 tlat
limo i'm 1911 in the greater city. AT the
Leginniug of November there are $40
fever deaths recorded than on Noyem-
reinforcement was noted last week in
every borough except Richmond; IN
Manhattan there were only 1888 deaths, as
compared with 1875 during the corresponds
ing week last year. Brooklyn hau H.

THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET.
IN Telesraph b % Trlhnne.


FAN River. Mass, Nov g. - The ad-
vanccs recorded in cotton were the means
of increasing cloth values last week, and
the amount Of business put through, more
particularly during the closing days, was
very fair 1t is stated that about 22OO0)
pieces were sold The cotton market has
been showing signs Of advancing since
about the middle Of last month, but il
was not until Thursday morning that
cloth buyers in New York and other large
cities began 10 realize the seriousness OF
the occasion, and orders began to come
I'm for several makes, particularly &siz-
inch. 64xC0 525 goods, suggesting SC fiat
Mill agents and treasurers hatly refused
mis- offer and insisted upon 5tc per yard
but It is believed that only a few goods
sold at that price. II Is reported that
O.0O0 pieces Of this make sold In New YORK
at &c per yard, but these were Southern
goods. II is fair to assume that no North
ern or Eastern mill sold at this price since
Thursday morning.
The call for other wide goods was fair
and those factors who are interested In
three-leaf twills and sateens feel that
they cannot get goods at prices which
they thought they could. Manufacturers
have shown a lislnclinaton 10 trade on
contracts. and they have made 1t known
TO buyers.
The cotton yarn markets have been
rather active, and splnners have sue.

BUYERS would not entertain the quotations
which were named for some counts OF
yaros, but last week they agreed to ac-
cent spinncrs' prices ana contracts were
executed for requirements for two and
,bree months ahead. The raw cotton
market has been the means Of boosting
,,r,cas for both cloth and yarn. Mills are
baoiur,ing TO buy in fair quantity, but oil
an advancing market no unusual amount

EUROPEAN MARKETS.

IN last weeks issue of THE Bache Re-
view" is the following on the European
market situation:
In looking over the situation which has
developed abroad in the last month 1t
must be realized that the Balkan troubles
are not i'm themselves the cause of the
financial disturbances which have taken
Mace in the various markets, where spec
nation had run very heavy course and
dangerous positions had been developed.
The Balkan episode served merely 70
prick the inflated bubble and bring about
sudden collapse; otherwise declines would
have developed gradually. This after
imitation development was :=hing place in
Vienna when the war trouble came. but
in Paris and in ST. Petersburg the crisis
was brought on suddenly. In Paris the
situation was met by the united action
Of the strong banks The collapse in
prjees came on the three days ended &C.
tober r. Saturday. The Balkan confla-
grafton had suddenly risen two weeks be-
fore. The midmonth settlement day was
to come on Tuesday, October Is. on that
saturday Of the Spasm everything had
fallen 80 TO $50 and In cases $50 a
share in some Russian lndustria.s' where
the real ballooning had been done. But
not only the speculative issues fell-the
Paris municipal stocks, gold edged, Rio
Tntos. even the government bonds. 1t
was the SPECTATORS who sold-not the
public The investing public in France Is
largely controlled in ordinary times by
the banks who buy their securities FOR
them. They also sell them for them-but
not il they can help IL, in Crisis. On

said
"There never has been such a campaign
in the history of the country. On Tues

This campaign has been the first in
which a candidate has died, the first In
which a candidate has been the victim

Advancement Of Women
And the College Honors
Editorial in The Nashville
enneSSean.

Far outclassing all her male com
pettorS, woman won the highest
prize IN philosophy at the University
Of Goettingen. She submitted her
thesis under an assumed name. and
faculty members were much sur
prised that woman should have
written such superior paper
While the achievements of women
in intellectual fields have fallen far
short Of those of men, it must be
taken into consideration that they
have been barred from such fields
until comparatively recent years, and
their opportunities for development
have been limited.
In nearly all the coeducational
schools the women take most Of the
honors and far outrank their broth
erS in class standing. Still there is
a constant effort made to discredit
their achievements along this line on
the plea that class standing does not
mean anything.
The plain truth of the matter is
that women are taking education far
| more seriously than men are and are
| getting further than their brothers.
| More girls than boys are completing
! high school courses. The number
Of women in universities is increasing
annually, and some coeducatiOnal
| colleges are in danger Of becoming
| institutions given over almoStly en-
| tirely to women.
Thomas A. Edison says women will
| be the mental equals Of men in 5000
years. In this statement he meant
doubtless, to say that the average
mentality Of women the world over
| will equal that Of men the world
over at the end Of 5000 years. So
many women have displayed remark
able mentality that it is foolish to
deny the great brain-power Of in
dividual women who have shown
themselves the equal of the worlds
| most brilliant men.
But if women continue to show the
same eagernesS for learning which
now characterizes the sex, and if mer
do not show any greater enthusiasm
for mental Development than they dc
at present, it is impossible to believe
that women will be outdistanced by
their brothers for 5000 years. 1t i:
conceivable that even a century O
improved educational advantages FOL
women in this country will raise .ths
mental power of women to q leVe
with that of men.
Spitzka and other scientists who
attempt to show that womans brai1
is incapable of development hav'
stubborn facts standing out in lout
contradiction Of their sta tements. ant
men who smile at woman and ar
! SNUG in the thought that she will al
ways be mans mental inferior simpl.
. show their own ignorance. 1t ha-
never been shown that the femal
brain is inferior to the male brain
Lack of opportunity is sufficient ex
planation of any lack of intellectual
superiority among women. and tn
eagerness with which women ar
overcoming the handicaps impoSe'
on their grandmothers shows tina
man must bestir himself if he doe
. not care to have his sister, surpas
! him in intellectual achievements.
