Woman's Vote a Moral Force
aurice Low, in Yale Review.

A. Maurice Low, in Yale Review.
 How much did the man, the husband or brother, influence the wife or sister or sweetheart? It is impossible to answer this question, but if the information were available it would perhaps be found that the influence was not so great as is generally supposed. Undoubtedly most women voted with their men in the same way that most women go to the same churches that their husbands at- tend, or agree on the same theatre; but there are families in which the woman $ religion is also the mans, and the play she selects is the one he wants to see. The new force that has been brought into American politics by the adoption of the nineteenth amendment is, as ] think events will prove, moral force have long held to the belief that fun damentally there Is little difference be- tween men and women, except that diff ference which comes from heredity edu- cation, and social conventions. Now tha; woman is overcoming her heredity and is being educated as men are educated and now that certain absurd social con. ventions no longer exist, while others equally absurd are fast disappearing, the artificial dividing line is rapidly vanish.

FINAL HOURS TRADE WAS REVERSAL OF
 EARLY STOCK LIST
Decline of Call Loans From Eight to Seven Per Cent Considered Prelude to
 Easier Money Rates
By Assnciated Press

New York, February S.-Business in the stock market during the early and in- termediate periods of todays session was dull to an extraordinary degree, but the price quickened and the scope of opera tons broadened perceptbly in the final hour, strong tone ruling at the close.
 Much of the sudden activity of the lat CT dealings was occasioned by decline in call loans from to ' per cent shorts accepting this a prelude to easier money rates Rails, oils, steels and equipments featured the sharp rebound at extreme gains of 1 to points. Sales amounted to 475,000 shares. The most significant development of the day was contained in circumstantial reports that the steel industry was rapidly approach ing the stage of an "open market" prob ably involving an all-around reduction of prices.
 Such a move on the part of the inde- pendent manufac cturers would occasion little surprise. Observers of industrial conditions have long insisted that in- creased consumption, both in the domes- tic and foreign hinges largely on lower schedules, especially for railway equip ment and structural materials
 Further price reactions were acquired by leading oils interest including Stan dard oil of New Jersey. Other commod- ity markets were steady, including tex tiles, in which the recent revival of ac- tivty seemed to be well sustained.
 A spirited recovery in leading inter- national remittances was one of the days noteworthy incidents. British, French, Belgian, Dutch, Spanish and Greek rates rose brskly, but quotations on northern Europe were mixed, Chris tina and Copenhagen reacting sharply.
 In the bond market issues of recent Notation, including Pennsylvania 61as and several oil underwritings, continued to fall under their subscription prices. Li- berty bonds were irregular as also were rails and active industrials. Total sales par value, ll,850,0o0

SHARP RALLIES ARE
 MADE FOLLOWING AN EARLY DROP IN PRICE
Advance In Grain Market Was a Factor on Improvement In the Days Trading
 In Cotton
By Associated Press

New York, February S.-Early declines were followed by very sharp rallies in the cotton market today, with May deliveries selling up from 1S.51c to 1422c, or 47 points net higher, and closing at 14.12c. The general market closed steady at a net advance of 31 to 40 points. The mar ket opened barely steady at a decline of ] 19 to 25 points under renewal of the selling which had been in progress dur ing the previous day. It was prompted by reiterations of unfavorable British trade conditions, reports of an easier southern spot basis late yesterday and the appearance of southern selling orders around the ring.
 Offerings were pretty well absorbed on l the opening decline to 1310c for March | and 13ySSc for July, however, and cover | ing became active during the early aft ernoon when house and Wall street connections were particularly heavy buy | CTS. Local traders did not connect the advance with any special feature in the | news, sbut the early break which had | carried prices back to about previous | low records for March and May seemed I to have exhausted the immediate supply | of contracts. At any rate, offerings were | comparatively light when shorts started | to cover and before the demand was sup piled March advanced to 13.Soc and July | to 14.59c with active months generally showing net gains of A to 52 points The
 close was few points off. from the best under realizing.
 The advance in the grain market was considered factor on the improvement l in cotton, and there was some bullish
