WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

thursday, aug o-p. III.
The dealings in Union Pacific continued to-day
on an even larger scale than the transactions of
the two previous days. Heavy selling orders were
executed for London account. and before noon the
price had fallen 2 3-s per cent The late recovery
almost brought the final figure to the opening quo
tation, but the net change was loss Of | per
cent The price rallied with reluctance. notwith
standing the reiteration of favorable statements
from those prominently identified with the COM
pany. The condition Of Union Paclfc's floating
debt has been known in O general way for some
time and it would cause little surprise if dis
closures Should he made later that an increase
had been rendered necessary since the manage
ment underwent change last November 1t is not
to be supposed, however, that Mr.. Gould and his
friends have any intention of abandoning their
task but il is hardly TO be expected that pressing
loans would be provided for without ample
security of their interests 1t is probable that
conviction of this nature induced some operators
to look upon the current suggestion Of an appeal
TO the courts as far from unlikely, although de-
malls of any impending receivership were made.
1t is certainly singular that official assurances
that the companys debts were protected were
concurrent with a selling pressure maintained
after drop in the price of the stock OF nearly
per cent.
The general market developed creditable resis-
stimulated by the shock of the decline in Union
Pacific. The existence Of considerable short in
terest would hardly account for the comparative
steadiness of values unless courage had partially
revived among the bull elements. But the course
Of St Paul still indicates that the local position
suffers from the attitude Of London. Although
rallying- more than ] per cent from lowest points
that stock scores net gain of only a small frac-
tioa after a business ranking next TO that done In
Union Pacific; The favorable advices as to the
wheat crop should count for more than the ex-
nectafions of a good WELD in cereal not yet be-
yond the danger of frost, like corn. Nevertheless,
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy was strong
est among the Western group and made
the best advance. International stocks
like Atchison and Louisville. and Nash
Vile, closed substantially unchanged, The
Northwestern Pacifcs We're actually lower. A
sharp break in Richmond Terminal preferred on
small sales indicates that all sensitive spots are
not vet uncovered. Missouri Pacific declined l
per cent and barely recovered itself But barring
these suggestive irregularities. the speculation de
ported itself we'll in the circumstances and the
closing was strong under demand to protect short
contracts.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET
Government bonds entirely neglected.
Appended are the unchanged quotations

sions. when woman wants 10 s"look
nice" she mast wear her cape. with its
Medici collar, bordered with jets. and
It's long sleeves. pufsed shoulders and
tight-fitting back.
Lace is greatly used II is almost q
lace season, because SO many people arc
wearing lace upon all their garments.
The styles in real lace never change,
and those who have quantity Of the
real article in the family have the foun-
dation, or at least ornamentation for a
dress which shall be as modish rs the
passion in lace can make il.
II the lace is narrow tho woman Of
taste can use il 20 edge some chiffon
which she makes into jabot, or it can
be gathered around the edge Of the
overskirts, which are beginning to come
in style again. or it raay be used down
each side of the front draperies, which
form such u graceful finish To tea gowns
and house dresses.
A iounce of lace looks very pretty
sewed around the neck at the base Of
the high standing collar. II SO desired,
the edge of the lace may be sewed in
where the sleeves are fastened on 10 the
shoulders, making the lace seem like a
part of the dress, and giving the gown
a much more elegant appearance than
II would otherwise have. The lace
hounces which are used around the
lower edge of the bodices are just as
long as the wcarer can obtain lace to
make them. Eight, ten, twelve, and
even twice the number of inches, are
seen in the depth of the lace fiounces
