EDITOR OF TaE EvEEIEa Journal
SIH. My attention has been called to
what purports TO be an Interview with
society young woman OF this town. She
is quoted ss saying that the girls Of
Milford have boycotted all young society
men who persist In wearing the high
gloss finish on their laundry. Her state
ments are, in the main, correct, but !
do not think that any young women of
delicacY and refinement shouldrush into
print in that way.

displayed a little diplomacy we might yet
have been on calling terms. They began
the fight in an arbitrary manner Their
ultimatum was, Discard the vulgar

shirts and substitute the domestic
finish, or cease calling upon us That is
the state Of the case. We have no
objection to the domestic finish lD

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
Quotations Of Staple Products in the
Leading Markets.
Stocks and Bonds-New York Financial
Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock
NEW YORK. Jan 30

NEW YORh, Jan 81.
The market was discouraged at the start by
the reports of the possible failure of the pro-
posed government bond issue, but a sharp rally
followed when it became evident that New
York subscriptions had been secured to suffi-
Gent amount to assure the success of the nego
tIation. Now that the movement to subscribe
has fairly started there is prospect that the
loan may go with vim. The Importance
of the action of the bankers, trust COM
panies and the large capitalists restslnot only
upon the removal OF danger to the credit of the
government through a failure of the new loan.
but it is beneficial in that it helps to avert the
danger of legislative action involving the coin
age of the silver Seignorage or other imitation
measures of equally serious import. The more
encouraging phase of the government bond sltu-
alton has helped to Offset the influence of adj
verse railroad earnings. In regard 10 this,
however, it is to be remembered that the cur
rent net reports reflect past conditions, more
hopeful view of traffic and business being taken
in consequence of the revival noted in many dl-
rections. The market will not be free from the
influence of the doubt relating to the character
Of future railway returns, and the legislative
uncertainty on the tariff question may retard
the general Improvement. But the suce SIS of
the government loan will be beneficial on senti-
ment, and it ought to assure favorable attl-
tude upon the part of the subscribing institu-
tons. Owing to the professional nature OF the
speculation it may be too early to look for any
sustained movement in values. Conservatism
is not out of place, but we are still inclined to
advise purchases on the weak days.
