Less Activity In New York. and the Market
Almost Without Feature.
NEW York, March 25.--Money, q II per cent;
ofered at the close at per cent.
Prime mercantile paper. 405 per cent
Sterling exchange quiet; sixty days, $484aa;
sight, $4.s64.
Governments quiet and Arm; the three-per-

There has been better-distributed business
today in railway bonds, but in no case were the
transactions for very large amounts. and the
total sales aggregated l,03s, 900, 1921 900 less
Ehan yesterday. Prices were irregular. and
while there were many advances for fractional
amounts. there were some notably heavy de-
elines. Among the latter New Jersey Central
debenture SKIES were prominent, selling at 81,
81 and 55, against 20 at the last previous sales,
March IL. st. Louis, Kansas City & Northern.
Clarinda Branch, frsts, were Is per cent. lower,
at co. from the last previous SALE March IL,
while Omaha division bonds fell 8 per cent, to
49,
State securities are very dull and nominal
The stock market was less active today, and
almost without any feature of special interest
Prices at the opening showed little change from
4he closing quotations of last evening, but under
the influence of the European war news and the
covering of the shorts" together with reports
regarding the ST Paul dividend the market
soon became stronger. the advance during the
first hour being from to II per cent. in most
cases. Prices, after IL o'clock, were compare
lively steady, until late in the afternoon. when
they yielded fraction, and the market finally
closed somewhat feverish, and a fraction below
the best prices OF the day. The announcement
of the dividend in St Paul was not made until
shortly after the board closed. The directors, at
their meeting to-day, passed resolu-
ton making the dividend on com
mon stock II per cent, and on pre-
ferred stock, 81 per cent. This is
the semannual dividend and is a reduction on
common stock of per cent. from that which has
been paid for some time past. 1t makes the
total dividend on common stock for the current
fiscal year 8 per cent 1t is said the law of
certain States permitting investments by savings
banks and other similar institutions in any regu
lar dividend paying stocks which pay as much as
5 per cent. per annum, had much to do with the
declaration of to-day's dividend in the face of a
large floating debt. which, it is generally under
stood, the company is carrying.

The Origin of BustIes.

It's one of the singular freaks Of fashion
IN women's dresses, that while other feat
ures ofthe dress are changed TO suit the de-
crees OF fashion with almost bewildering
frequency, this one known as the hustle
does not disappear OF. change, unless, in
deed, it be u change to larger and larger
dimensions. In CHANGING over the fashion
journals one is struck with the increasing
dimensions of that queer article Of female
apparel. The expansion OF this feminine
continuance has now attained proportions
little short of the ridiculous 1t has reached
q point as absurd in its way as the ancient
fashion of expanding the skirts at the bot
tum till they were shaped ike a pyramid.
The dictionary gives this definition
Bustle. A kind of pad, or cushion worn by
ladies for the purpose Of expanding the skirts
behind called also bishop.
The etymology OF the word is not clear.
1t seems to be of French derivation; but
the word itself has more of the Anglo
Saxon quality. But the meaning of the
English word-the older meanings not
calculated to elucidate the question of
origin. Bustle' is nearly synonymous
with confusion. We are quite positive on
this point, because the evident use of the
hustle is TO produce confusion in the mas
culine mind. That it really has this con-
fusing effect in that direction is shown by
the well-known dense ignorance among
men as to its composition and construc-
ton, and their widely differing theories.
No wonder the men are confused. The
slinky" style of feminine skirts, hanging
straight down, would hardly do. If art has
so far hidden and confused the graceful
outlines of the human form-particularly
the female form-that it has become i'm
possible to obtain the requisite apparent
pinguidity as evidenced by the outline of the
skirt. without resorting 10 additional artif-
cial devices in the shape of big cushions,
we suppose that even this dromedary look
must be better than the removal of the
hustle. But really, would not something
resembling the classic simplicity and flow
ing grace of the ancient Grecian dress for
the women be better than either?
