In bis weekly letter on the financial

On account OF their isolation from the

cations The probability Of increased

ities Is qualified by the importance Of
the position of France, which may
tend TO produce caution IN the money
markets OF the world. Past expert
ences, however, have amply demon
strated that revolutions and wars

been beneficial to this country
financially. Other causes combine
with the troubles IN France
towards unsestling the stability of the
American stock market. They are
mainly the renewal OF gold erports.un-

Governor Reyes, commander of this
military zone, has written letter to
President Portirio Diaz, recommending
that the Mexican government make an

WOMEN IN REAL ESTATE

Another fair candidate for brokers'
honors has made application and been
admitted to a seat III the real estate ex-
change IN New York City, Mrs. s. NJ.
Blakeley is the second woman who has
obtained such a distinction, and in an
interview with her some interesting
facts were cleaned of her business
career and the wonderful results she
mas obtained in short period of time.
1.-The field Is q broad one," said Mrs.
Blakely, land to woman of push and
energy remarkably lucrative.
"Men are not accustomed to buyinp
OF woman and | have had much
prejudice to overcome. For example,
only last week customer TO whom l
submitted house i'll Forty-eIghth
street, said: Il don't doubt you are all
right, but you are q woman, and /
must get the opinion of real estate
on the sale.'
Every WE'LL said I, pray do So
1.-The masculine expert confirmed
every point had made and the sale
went through. lind the work of max
ing satisfactory exchanges of property
the most difficult and, perhaps for that
reason, the most interesting. 1t calls
into play all the tact, diplomacy and
business intelligence of which am
possessed. Every one thinks his or her
own special piece of property is the
best, and that if any concessions are
made by either party it should be to
them, which makes it rather awkward
for me. considering that both parties to
the Transaction think the same.''
Mrs. Blakely 10 a woman Of very at
tractlve personality and winning ad-
dress. She has marvellous memory,
which she considers her most import
ant stock in trade.

counts this year its twenty-sixth BIRTH
day. Behind closed doors in the IL
brary the board of trustees holds ts
annual meeting, while most irregular
proceedings are carried on outside.
Presumably the trustees are building
up the institution. Apparently the
girls are tearing it down. The coy
psrlors OF the students are despolled
OF portiefes and pictures, decorous
palms and screens are hurried through
the corridors to their apparent aston
ishmept, and the chapel and lecture
rooms take on most frivolous and un-
scholastic features. supper Is a mem
orabie feast on this occasion, as the
dinner hall 10 converted into PRONE
made and every girl takes her tea to her
own apartments. The feature of this
years reception was the address of r.
