With the excep tion of good buying of March and mod erate purchases of other positions by an actle room operator, the cotton market was featureless nt tho start today. Tho tone, howeor, was llrm. and prices were t to 19 polnts.net higher. Tho first bulgo to 17.76 for May at tracted some realizing and was folloued by a brief period of hesitation toward the mlddlo ot the morning. Demand Im proved, however, on a slight reaction, and the market was firmer after 11 o'clock, with actlxo months selling nbout 30 to 33 points nt higher or up to 17.82 for May. MoM of the buying was attributed to covering, but there was also some demand for July from southern mill sources, and tho failure of tho early setbacks to nttract increased offerings probably "stimulated buorB for a reaction after the recent break of about $8 per bale. In tho last l.our great Irregularity marked tho trading A coxcrlng moc ment promoted a rally of 20 to 25 points, but at between 17.65 and 17 70 for May and July, respectively, offerings increased and much of tho recovery was wiped out. The close was steady at a net decline of 41 to 58 points. ' Later adWcea carried May contracts up to 17.87, or about 38 points net higher. Some of tho more prominent local traders ero aggressive buyers on tho upturn, while there was continued covering on the bull ish acrago of tho southern spot news, but the advance of nbout $2 per bale fiom jesterday's low Ieel attracted leallzlng and prices were a few points off from the best soon after midday.

The President of Ivises a the Bis M o o o o o anil' atlonal Bank ctorer A large manufacturer who wanted to adjust his business to anticipate after-the-war conditions, called on the President of the National Bank, one of the ablest bankers in the East. This dialogue followed: Banker "You ask me what I think will happen to your manufacturing business after the war? You can imagine that all bankers are keenly interested in that question these days. Naturally, I've given considerable thought to it, and my judgment is that when the present war orders cease, we'll still be shipping abroad vast quan tities of manufactured goods of all kinds. Every manu facturing country in Europe is today manufacturing nothing but what will help along the war. Therefore, when the war ends, Europe simply has to keep on coming here to buy. And she'll buy not only raw materials, but manufactured articles." Manufacturer "Yes, but how will they pay for what they get?" Banker "Well, we'll have to accept payment in the form of some kind of interest-bearing bonds. You wonder if these government securities will be good. I reply: Of course they will. Take the case of the French Govern ment, which illustrates the situation very well. In the 75 years from the time the Directorate was overthrown, and Napoleon became the First Consul, to the establish ment of the French Republic, about 1870, there were nine different governments, accompanied with or fol lowed by as many revolutions. Each of these govern ments borrowed money and spent it to prevent or pro mote revolution, yet not one of the succeeding govern ments repudiated the debts of the previous one. "Take England, which has had one of the most trying linancial experiences of any nation. As a result of the Civil War in the 17th Century, and the later Napoleonic campaign, England's resources were strained to the utmost, and it was necessary for her to resort to what was called 'whip-and-spur' taxation. Along with taxa tion debt increased, and at the close of the war period, in 1815, the national debt exceeded .$4,375,000,000. Yet so wonderfully did her statesmen handle the fiscal problems, that this indebtedness was greatly reduced, and at the same time, especially in Queen Victoria's reign, England had an unexampled period of material prosperity and progress. As a result of her experiences, England entered the present war the ablest by far of all the nations in dealing with the financial side." j Manufacturer "Where do you get all this information?" Banker "I got every iota of what I've just told you out of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica. You can only be sure the sun will rise tomorrow because it has risen every day in the past for thousands of years. So with human affairs, it is by knowing what has happened in the past that we are able to form reasonably correct judgment as to the probabilities of the future." You, Mr. Manufacturer and Mr. Merchant, have access to the same completes and authoritative information as the President of tho National Bank in the new Encyclopaedia Britannica. This wonderful work, which surveys all human knowledge, not only discusses your own business, but every other business. That is one of the main reasons why more than 1 10,000 business men out of its 1C0.O0O present owners bought it. What the banker must know about business, or about political and economic conditions, every business man should know. These are crucial times the future of giant industries and all business is woven into the European situation. Those who are able to discern "the signs of the times," who are qualified to anticipate the future, are the men who know the significance of past events in their relation to and effect upon business, industry, commerce and every other phase of human activity.
