DRY GOODS PRICES
 GENERALLY LOWER
Buying Continues Past Week In
 Hand -To-Mouth Way

NEW YORK, March i.-Cotton goods prices have been irregular and gen eraily lower during the week, due part ly to the weakness in raw cotton and m part to the continued light demand, Some numbers of bleached cottons branded, were, reduced Pc yard. and unbranded numbers from 1Mc to i1sc A yard. New low prices were made on cheviots, colored drills, stripes and oth- CT coarse yarn fabrics. Sheetinxs and convertibles were lower and some new low prices were named on ginRhans. Buying has continued in a hand to mouth way, the limited future delivery business booked by mills being quite as noticeable as for weeks past. At the same time there have been more frequent inquiries from large users, and It IS believed that if the cotton mar kets remain stable for a week or two, considerable business will be placed TOT March, April and May delivery. Heavy cotton goods are lower. Cotton yarns have eased off steadily and are now down to a basis of 44c for los southern frame cones. Knit goods are quiet, with prices easier, hosiery being Especially low. The wash fabrics trade has been made up largely of fancy goods, the higher priced lines rather better than many of the staples. Cur tailment of production in mill centers IS increasing. Prices current in primary markets are as follows:
 Print cloths, 28-inch, 64&64s, 7Kc; 04x6Os, 7c;. 3S-inch, 34x64s, .915c; brown sheeting, southern standards, 16c; tick ings, S-oza 2Sc; denims,, 2.20s, 24ac; prints, 10&c; staple gingharns. 15c: dress ginghams, 18IHc and Pic,

1 UNIQUE CONDITIONS
 M STEEL MARKET
Current Demand Is. Active And
 s Production Remains High ;

NEW YORK, March 1.-Underlying conditions in the steel market are unique. The current demand-is active and production is being maintsinsd at a high percentage of high canacity. The railroads are conspicuously ac{txe buy CTS, taking large quantities of equip ment and at the same time there is a good scattered demand from other cons sumers. There is a noticeable absence of forward buying and little or no in clination to stock up ahead of require ments. Offers of steel from abroad are somewhat larger and increase compe- tition is feared. Prices are being we'll maintained as rule but there is a feel ing of uncertainty regarding future de- velopments. New buying of pig iron sales have been comprised principally of small lots. Prices as ;s~consequence are only about steady.
 A firmer tone has developed in the copper market. Demand continued light the first part of the week and small lots of electrolytic were offered down to the 13hc level. Buyers appeared at that figure, however, and the market turned upward later on reports of renewed firmness in London. This evidently stim- uIated some buying by domestic con- sumers and the cheaper offerings were soon absorbed reporting sales Friday at 13l4c for May-July delivery. Trading was almost entirely between dealers.
 Lead advanced further with prompt supplies scarce. Consumption continues heavy.
 Zinc is quiet as far as domestic de- mand is concerned, although a little better export business has been put through.

Stocks Develop Irregularity Due 5S To Minor Disturbances

,igNEW YORK. March 1.Astock and bond prices ended the week at approx imately the same levels as prevailed a week ago.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, March 1.--While. trad ing this week has been largely profes+ | sionai, one or two news items no doubt influenced considerable outside atten- ton. The northwestern rails were sub jected to considerable pressure after Northern Pacific and Great Northern preferred issued poor January state- ments, added to which came the news that the skipping board and the inter- state commerce commission were really to arrange with American railroads for through export rates on commodities except grain.
 Chesapeake & Ohio staged a oome- back from it's recent slump on the re- vival of rumors linking the C. & o. with Nickelplate and on the expectations of an increase in the dividend rate.

CORN TOPS RECORD
 PRICES LAST WEEK
Jump Due To Reported Spread
 Of Holding Movement -,


 CHICAGO, March 1.-Record-b break ing high prices have resulted In the corn markets this week from reports that farmers were spreading an organ ized movement to hold corn back for a dollar bushel. On the other hand, wheat and oats declined. Compared with a week ago, corn quotations this morning showed ss@%c to %@1c ad- vance, with wheat 3sc to Sc down; oats, hc to 3sc off, and provisions vary ing from 7c decline to 10c gain.
 Farmers in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota appeared to be exten- sively participating in the movement to withhold corn and to await an ap- proach of the dollar-a -bushel ideal. Iowa farmers especially were reported as giving adherence to the movement in 70 counties. Aside from rural dis satisfaction with current prices, the breaking up of country roads appeared to be ctrtailing rece.pts. It was also said that farm deliveries were likely to halt about this time, until after plant ing, and that feeding of hogs this sea shipment from China and a fair inquiry reported

 After the corn market, however, had Svertopped for three successive dayss the highest previous values this seasoh.t a reaction set in: Some important holders of, future delivery contracts gave evidence of a willingness to resi- ize immediate profits rather than strive forepossible big Agains more or less de- ferred. Some increase of arrivals of corn here and at other primary cera- ters was also apparent, and bulls were given jolt by an estimate that Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska to- gether, have 40,000,000 bushels more corn than a year ago.
 Absence of crop-scarce developments tended to weaken the wheat markets Oats sagged with wheat.

lie has put into the house, partfc-
Ularly that old desk that mother
gave to Leslie as a wedding present.
Mother told her that she was sat
isfied that desk contained a secret
drawer, but that she never had been
able to find it, and that Leslie had
not seemed to, either.
1T wouldn't be secret very long
if Leslie found it," I interrupted
She never keeps anything from me,
you know"
'Oh, wouldn't be too sure Of
that" remarked Mrs. Anterior.
There isn't a person in the world
that hasn't a secret drawer some
where-sOme place where he or she
hides away things that they would
tell to no one, no matter how much
that one was loved. It may only be
a secret place in her heart"
Il am glad to find you acknowl-
edge such a thing as a heart" I
could not resist remarking for her
ear alone.
To my surprise mother nodded her
head in confirmation of Mrs. Ather-
tons surprising assertion, and said:
Il know this is true, for as much
as L loved your father, John, as long
and as intimate as was our married
life, there were some thoughts in my
brain, some desires in my heart, that
I could never tell him"
I know, sgd, that my face ex-
pressed my surprise-to think that
my mother, conventional and puri-
tanical as she is, should still find
that there are things that she must
not tell her husband. It set me to
wondering. I've always been so
sure that Leslie keeps nothing from
me. I've always been so certain that
keeping ones secrets was purely a
masculine prerogative, that the idea
was disturbing. I must have shown
this in my face, for Mrs. Atherton
spoke in answer to my expression,
for I had said nothing:
One Of the most interesting
phases of life to me is the fact Of
masculine egotism. Every man
thinks that he is not only the real
the depository of her innermost
thoughts. There's one part. Of the
marriage service that he takes Sc
riously, and that is that marriage
has made him and his wife one. He
emphatically, however, believes he is
the one. If he gets the slightest
suspicion that his wife has differ
ent opinion, marriage then and
there is rot a success in his estima-
ton"
Lord, sgd, that woman is a con.
slant FLIP to my intelligence. She
invariably piques by imagination.
| No wonder a man of Sam Atherton s
caliber soon discovered that he was
not the "one" I don't know a man
| that could tame her. Come up soon
and see If you think it would be
worth your while. JACK.

HARVARD LIMITS
ENROLMENT To
1000 FRESHMEN
Letter Sent Out to All High
and Preparatory Schools
Advising of Changes,
BIZ Tim es Special

BIZ Times Special
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 20-A
temporary limitation Of enrolment
and the abrogation Of the regulation
permitting freshmen to enter college
win conditions are among the
changes in Harvard's plans for adj
mission, effective in June, according
to a letter now being sent to high
and preparatory schools by Henry
Pennypacker, chairman Of the COM
mittee on admission.
The entering freshman class, in
Guiding freshmen in the engineering
school. next September viii be
limited to 1000 men, sixty-six moro
than entered at the reopening Of col
lege last autumn.
IF more than the quota apply IN
1924, the general method Of selection
will be as follows:
Above &C" Average
All candidates doing work sub
stantially above &C. average in their
entrance examinations will be ad-
mitted first. In the selection of
other candidates, rank in eXamina-
ton will be the principal, but not
in all cases the only. means Of as
certaining aptitude and character.
The regulation, established last
year, by which boys graduated from
school among the first seventy in
the class may, in the discretion Of
the committee be admitted without
examination, will be continued until
further notice. One innovation is
that no candidate whose native
tongue is English viii now be ad-
mitted as a freshman unless his
work in English composition is
passable
Requirements Unchanged
No change is made in the re-
hitherto a freshman admitted on
passing in fourteen units was
obliged to make up in college the
equivalent of the missing unit. This
imposed an additional burden upon
those least able to carry it, the COM
mittee on admission felt, and thus
slowed down the whole march.
Therefore there viii in future be no
admission condition.
The Importance Of the classics re-
ceives recognition in the new ruling
that candidate offering both greek
and Latin shall not be required to
present a modern language for ad-
mission.
Another important change is that
after 1924 the September examina-
,tions viii not be accepted as pre-
liminary examinations.
