Financial Review.

New York, April 5.-That prices Of
stocks should advance Immediately
after the death of j. P. Morgan offered
a speculative paradox. Time without
number of late mere rumors If his i'll
ness unfailingly depressed the market.
The usual explanation of bear real
izing by covering of shorts vas only
partly true in his case, the outstand-
ing short interest having resulted
from other considerations than the
fear of Mr.. Morgan's death. The
firmness of the market in face of his
death, however, coupled with the re-
sistance manifested the week before to
the influence of the flood losses, was
of such imposing effect as to trans
figure the whole complexion of the
speculative position. No more con
yincing demonstration than the com
pletion Of liquidation and lifting
forces of depression from the market
was possible.
The passing of April 1 without
financial disaster at Berlin brought
immense relief. At the same tim.
| the near approach OF the extra session
of was accompanied by g
supposition that moderation would
prevail in shaping tariff revision. Thu
| success of the quarterly settlements il
the foreign markets released enormous
sums that had been accumulated II
preparation, and a pronounced relaxa
ton of money stringency followed
This induced an increase of invest
ment demand for securities. The de
mand for bonds broadened and price
rose.
The dominant helpfulness of senti
ment was not upset by ~unfavorab'
factors yet to be overcome.

New York, April Sin view of the

development that there should b.

fell off largely, with the result tina,
the. market was not able to absorb the
offerings Of long stock with the facility
which characterized yesterdays opera
lions, and there were substantial re-
cessions throughput the list with
losses of many stocks ranging from

The. impulse to take profits was
strengthened by the desire to close
out contracts before the converting of

dents message. While Wall street

LATIN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES

Six universities in Latin-American
countries were established before the
first one in the territory that after
wards became the United States, ac-
cording to a recent bulletin of the
Bureau of Education. The universities
of Mexico and Lima We're founded in
1851; Santo Domingo. 1858; Bogota,
1872; Cordoba, 1913; and Sucre, 1923.
Just as in colonial New England. the
teaching of theology was the original
purpose of the universities in Spanish
America. The church was the prime
owe in their establishment. civil
and canon law were bOth taught, but
the latter predominated. There was
usually a professorship Of medicine In
these universities, but the most i'm
portant faculty was that OF theology.
These colonial universities were also
clerical in their government: the pro
fessors were almost exclusively men,
bers of the priesthood.
Another group of n-American
universities sprang into existence in the
era of independence, typifying a devel-
oping sense. of national unity. Among
such are the University of Buenos Aires
AoSAP ne VI 'Ii''' -
Peru US31), the University of Arcuuipa
1S35). and the institution at Medellin
in Colombia 0S22).' In Brazil the
university idea did not at first find
favor; instead independent profess
were established.
In modern times there has been a re-
markable development of higher edu-
-~ 49, To-, SS,.,r k.l A- .t4 . A,.. t,,rf.
There is an unmistakable tendency in
Latin America to increase the number
of higher educational institutions
says DR.. f. r. Brandon, author Of the
bulletin ,"although conditions economic
and otherwise do not always warrant
the new foundations. New centers
of population are jealous to complete
their attractiveness by adding a uni
versity to their civic advantages. The
national barriers that divide many
South American countries into distinct
regions and the very great difficulties
of travel nj communication between
the capital and the provinces have
sometimes led to the establishment ot
minor universities when the total uni
v~ersity population and the %financia
conditions of the country were made.
quate to support more. than one.
THE support of these provincial uni
versities is a severe burden on the ma,
tional treasury and presents disadvan,
: tages of an educational order. but tn,
| regions they serve are remote from tn
. chief university center of their respec
7 tive countries and their suppression
would entail great hardship on tn
youth that frequent them. In man
cases it would be a national misfor

Chicago, April 5.-Strength was i'm
parted to wheat today by a bullish
foreign situation and by the issuance
of a summary showing of a prospec-
tive small export surplus. The day
ended with a net gain of a shade to
Ac. Corn was a shade to B a Nc net

Primary receipts Of wheat were 6G4,-
600 bushels against $4,000 a year ago.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and

Liberal offerings and a somewhat
restricted demand for corn, especially
from the east, caused an easy tone
most of the session. An improved in
quiry caused a trifle firmer feeling to-
ward the close.
Oats were asy and dull throughout
the day.

Mrs, Woodrow Wilson.

National Tribune: Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, wife of President Wilson,
was scarcely in possession of the
keys of the White House when she
was called upon to act as sponsor
and patron of hundred or so af-
fairs. One of the first to appeal to
her was Goucher College of Balti-
more. Two of Mrs. Wilson's daugh-
ters were educated there, and she
has subscribed $500 to the alumni of
the institution to help keep the col
lege at Baltimore. The subscription
was received by DR.. John B. Van
Meter, acting president of the col
lege, while he was in Washington.
The money has been placed in the
alumni fund, and will 60 into the
general fund being raised to keep
the college in that city.

Riaht OF Registration.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana,
sitting in New Orleans Monday, has
settled the contention involved in
the registration case of Peter Handy
against S. A. Montgomery, registrar
for the Parish of Orleans. The point
at issue was whether Handy could
elect under which clause he would
register, property Or educational. 1t
was held that as he is able to read
and write he must register under
the educational clause.
From the decision of the District
Court of the Parish of Orleans there
was an appeal to the Court of APP
.peals, and Justice Monroe as the
organ of the Supreme Court, de-
clared the educational and property
qualifications to be mandatory and
not optional If he could read and
write he must register under the
rule of the educational qualification
The grandfather clause did not en-
ter into the Handy case.
BY this decree the decision of the
district court was sustained. This
decision settles an issue as to The
righ& of an individual to register.

anime the timber before deciding on
their bids.
While the bids received through
competition will determine the rate
at which the timber will be sold,
the department, as the result of a
careful study, has placed sA mini
mum price which will be cOnsid-
cred on the timber, according to the
species and situation. These prices
range from $3.50 thousand feet for
western yellow pine in the most ac-
cessiblc PLACES, down to $i.O0 for the
least valuable and least accessible.
The initial rates will be subject to
rcadjustment in 1913 and in 1922.
by such readjustment the stump
age price may be modified twice at
four year intervals during the
twelve years which will be allowed
for the removal of the timber.
The department officials point out
that in sales of such large guam
| tity of timber it is necessary to al
low long term contract because
of the magnitude of operation and
investment. The fact that many
| large sales have been made with
| readjustment clauses indicates, it is
| held. that timber operators find the
method business-like and practica-
bic.
| The timber TO be cut lies on the
watersheds of the south and middle
forks of the Payette, and bids will
| be received for any or all of the
| timber on either fork. 1t is acces-
| sible to southern Idaho, which is
developing rapidly and in which the
demand for timber will increase.
