COTTON DECLINES
AND RECEIVERS
Trade Buying, on an Early
DroOp, SteadieS the Market
at Close-SpotS Quiet.

An early decline was mostly recov-
cred in the cotton market, and the
close was very steady, net points
lower to l point higher. Apprehen-
sions that cotton would either be de-
clared contraband or that the Allies
would take some action greatly re-
stricting shipments from this coun-
try to Germany and Austria appeared
TO be the chief factor on the early
break. There also appeared TO be a
feeling that any important check in
shipments to Germany might be fol-
lowed by the resale or hedging of
supplies already bought for that ac-
count, now held in the South awaiting
freight room. Trade interests were
moderate buyers on the early decline,
however, while offerings seemed to be
restricted to light scattering liquida-
ton in the absence of hedge selling,
and after showing a net loss of about
7 to points on active months the mar
ket steadied on covering, closing at
about the best point Of the day.
Southern spot markets were un-
changed to 14c lower, and the local
market was quiet at S.35c for middling
upland; no sales. Range Of prices:

What They Learn at College.

In reactionary minds there is long
lived idea that college men are not
worth much in business until they
have forgotten all about college. Here
is q true tale that should thrust 8
torpedo into that belief: A senior in
one Of the well known New England in
stitutions recently came to a friend in
Wall Street and asked him to sell four
Telephone and Telegraph bonds. But
YOU used TO have five" said his friend:
"What happened 10 the other one?
"Oh. / sold that at par last summer,
he replied. AT par!" said the bond
man: why. they never sold higher
.han 81 then" Sure was the serene
reply; "but q fellow offered to sell me
his automobile for $500 and told him
that I'd give him a $1,000 bond for
$500 in cash and the auto. He kicked
when he was able 10 sell the bond for
only 81, but ! told him il was sure
enough 81 600 bond, because Il said so
on its face And three months after l
had bought the auto continued the
young fnancier, 81 had bid Of $3.50
for IT,"

ADVANCES
IN CHICAGO
Sentiment Changes and Decline
of Friday Recovered-Other
Commodities Gain.

Chicago, Feb. 27.--It was more on
account Of q change of feeling than
because of change of news that the
wheat market to-day scored a sub
stantial advance. Intelligence that
forty warships had forced passage
many miles up the Dardanelles did not
reach here until after trading hours.
Prices closed strong, 2kc to 4 hc
above last night. Other net gains
were: Corn, 2Ac to 29sc, oats 1Ac to
15sc, and provisions &c to 1212c.
Buyers ruled the wheat pit from the
start. Virtually all of the decline of
the preceding session was overcome.
The violent setback had apparently &C.
complished a drastic clearing out of
weak holdings, sand had given fresh
stimulus to export and milling demand.
Sentiment favoring the bull side was
also encouraged by the fact that Liv-
erpool failed to reflect fully yester-
days decline here. There were, be-
sides, continuing reductions in the
estimates of the Argentine exportable
surplus. Range Of prices:

Bank Clearings.

Clearings through the banks at the
leading cities in the United States, ac-
eording to "Dun's Reiew," continue in
much smaller volume than a year ago,
the total for the five days this week
amounting to s2,177,slS,625. as against
S2,377, 1883 for the same period last
year, falling off Of ga per cent. As
usual, the unfavorsble comparison is
mainly accounted for by the contraction
at New York City, which reports a de-
crease Of i0.S per cent. The total Of
the cities outside New York is 42 per
cent smaller than ,ast year. This is a
decided improvement over q short time
ago, and may safely be considered as
the reflection Of a trend toward broad

War and the Nernacular.

Even the philologists have their
share Of the worlds excitement over
var. They must, that is, if they are
paying any attention TO the great
changes in bushes and finance. Now,
for example, TO be ''in Dutch" no longer
can mean to be at an embarrassing dis
advantage. Holland, so far from being
"in Dutch" in the old meaning, is in
clover. Amsterdam exchange is the
onlv one in Europe still above the
point where gold is in normal times
supposed 10 flow automatically TO New
York. In many ways Holland is Coin
jne money" Like the United States,
she can sell all sorts of commodities
10 the warring nations. Not only that,
but her services as q middleman in
trade with Germany are being paid for
very handsomely.

The report of the Lehigh Valley
Transit Company for January shows an
increase of S9,545 in gross earnings,
which amounted to s150,720, over the
same month in 1914, but the increase in
net revenue was reduced to about one
half the gain in gross as a result of
higher operating expenses and in
creased depreciation reserves. Expend-
itures for taxes showed a material re-
duction from last year, and after pay
ment of interest charges, rentals, etc,
there remained net income balance
of s11,696, an increase of more than
