THE JOYS WE MISS.

How small portion Of our life
It is that we really enjoy! In youth
we are looking forward to things
that are to come; in old age we
are looking backward to things
that are gone past; in manhood,
although we appear indeed to be
more occupied in things that are
present. yet even that is too often
absorbed in vague determinations
to be vastly happy on some future
day when we have time.-Colton.

Cotton Duck for Motor Tires.

One million yards Of high grade
duck, to be made from sea island
and Egyptian cotton, has recently
been sold by Georgia cotton mill to
a manufacturer OF automobile tires.
The quality of this material is of
the highest grade, used only in the
larger tires, the lower grade of goods
being available for the smaller tires.
One million yards of cotton duck, one
yard wide, is pretty big order to go
from one mill to one tire manufac-
turer. ...
1t illustrates, however, the ever
broadening market for cotton and the
reason why big cotton crop has been
80 promptly absorbed. Every year
sees new uses for the south's cotton.
Not only is it being used in the manu-
facture of tires, it is likewise used In
the manufacture of automobile tops,
and the wider the use of automobiles
the greater will be the demand for

A REDUCED DEMAND.
Stocks Tend Higher, But Movements
 Were Irregular.


 New York, March 19.-Although the prices of stocks tended higher again today, the frequent pauses and irregu- lar movements seemed to indicate that the market was passing through a process of digestion. The almost un- interrupted advance Of the past fort night found its dearest reflection to- day in somewhat reduced demand, both from investment and speculative sources. Long existing uncertainties, including industrial and political con ditionS abroad and within our own con fines. are beginning to attract more at tention, irrespective of the fact that 8 more hopeful view is being taken of the differences between the anthracite coal owners and the miners. The more conoiljatory attitude of the employers probably was most responsible for the improvement shown by such issues as Reading and Lehigh Valley, but other standard shares like United States Steel and Union Pacific displayed less resiliency. The Hill stocks, too, were notlceably backward until later in the day, at which time the Hartman issues also made & better showing, a natural response to the cheerful statement is- sued by the titular head of that sys- ten.
  can Cans aud Rock Islands, which ereN assumed to derive their financial sup port from interests more or less iden- tical. There was a marked diminution of interest as such issues as Erie and Missouri Pacific, and the market as whole lacked some of it's recent breadth. Partial confirmation of another ad- vance In the price of copper metal con duced to increase strength in the cop per stocks, Amalgamated making new high record for the movement. The ysd provement in American Smelting was concurrent with reports from Washington in which that corporation was exonerated from charges of monopoIistic operations. By far the greater part of the days business was tranEacted in the early session Final dealings were in very moderate volume. but net changes were comparatively unimportant, all stand ard issues registering gains except Steel, which was subjected to some selling pressure in connection with rumoTs that the current quarter may show a deficit
 London was again a moderate seller here, but it's own markets were tolera- bly, firm, with especial strength in cop pers.
 The most favorable news of the day was contained in the official statement dealing with this country's imports and exports for February. both of which established new records for that month. Imports increased by about 34, ,000, 900, but exports show the enor- nous gain of $3s, 900 900 over the same month last year, which held the rec ord For the eight months of the fiscal year exports exceeded imports by about 3459, ,O0o, 900. which again exceeds all past records.

OLYMPIC TEAM
 WANTS CRAIG ON IT.
The intercollegiate Champion Needed
 for the Sprints.

Quite bit of uneasiness has been aroused by the announcement from Deroit that Ralph c. Craig, intercol- legiate champion sprinter and joint holder Of the world record for the 220 yard dashs could not be a candi- date for the Olympic team. Craig is such well trained athlete that he could readily get himself into condi- ton with sdx weeks of hard work. His training would not necessarily in- terfere with his business, and if the American committee can persuade him that his presence on the team is nec- essery to a victory for this country, he Is quite likely to waive his present objections.
 Without Craig the American team would have to depend upon Gwyn Henry, the youngster from Texas, or some of the other youthful sprinters in the college ranks. The foreign eli mate has such peculiar effect upon American athletes that the American committee will want at least half dozen consistent ten second men to represent the United States In the sprints.
