some DISPOSITION
TO SHADE FIGURES
indications Of Demonstration
Against Old Crop Shorts

New Orleans, May 5.-The cotton
market promises to be more or less
unsettled this week. There are signs
that certain professional interests are
bent on running to cover the short
interest that has been built up during
the recent long decline. Operations
looking toward this purpose are like
ly to produce nervous and illogical
fluctuations.
The question of acreage will also
help TO settle the situation. This ques-
ton has been greatly complicated by
recent private bureau guesses on the
area planted and to be planted. Up to
last week the majority of traders ac>
cepted it as foregone conclusion that
the increase in acreage would be at
least 5 per cent, but much smaller
estimates have been put out by bureaus
whose estimates generally receive
earnest consideration, with the result
that opinions are now much at vail
ance Probably estimates on acreage
now run from an increase of about 2
per cent. up to an increase of Z or 3
per cent, although there are less peo-
pie than formerly who expect an in
crease of over per cent. 1t may
be that information will be given the
trade this week which will help to cry
stallize opinion, but in the meantime
there will be much uncertainty in this
Crop news and weather accounts
will, of course, be of greatest import
ance, although interest in them will be
lessened by the futures mentioned
above What the bears fear now more
than anything else is too much rain,
which would prevent work in the fields
and result in full crops. Bright, warm
weather, with on'y occasional rains,
would work against prices. Too much
rain and cold nights would cause the
short side much embarrassment and
would greatly aid the operators, who
are trying to cause a general covering
movement among the bears.
The political situation in Europe is
still being closely watched by the cot
ton trade, but it will take important
in it to cause anything
like wide change in prices.

GIVE GIRLS
GOOD MORAL BALANCE

Cambridge, Mass, May 5.-That the
athletic girl is less liable to succumb
to temptation than her sister, who does
not go in for athletics, is the opinion
of DR. Dudley A. Sargent, director of
athletics at Harvard
THE social evils are the result of
life's forces being turned into wrong
channels" Dr. Sargent says. "The
eternal longing to externalize ones
self-that is, to find an outlet for
the emotions-is an inherent one in hui
man nature. The basic impulse may
find natural healthy expression in ath-
letics, or it may find some sinister
form.
Woman is more emotional than man
and with her the sex attraction is apt
to be more blind. Athletics offer the
girl who is budding into womanhocd
not only the opportunity to acquire A
sound, healthy body, but moral and
mental equipose which | believe can
be acquired in no other way. 1t is
certain that girls of athletic tenden-
cies are less liable to go astray, be-
cause they find in athletics a safe out
let for the emotions. 1t would seem
to be natures own scheme for preser,
ing the moral balance"
