eased on slightly. The general market
closed strong In tone at the top level and
with gains OF q point in number or rail
way shares. The share movement OF the
week was irregular. the range covered be-
ing wide In many instances. At the outset
political and financial uncertainties were
rejected in liquidation of long holdings
on fairly large scale and as usual the
bears improved the opportunities afforded
oy the prevailing discouragement. The
selling was especially marked in some OF
the low priced speciaities and less satsfac-
ory in industrial reports, including those
OF tne iron and sugar trades, contributed
to the pressure against the market. The
downward movement was strikingiy accel-
Grated about the middle of the week by
circulation of what afterwards was proven
to be stock jobbing rumor pure and sim
pie, that the president was about to send
a vigorous message regarding the Cuban
situation to congress. The anticipation of
the declaration of an extra dividend upon
sugar stocks at the directors meeting
early in the week was not fulfilled and this
iact and q declining tendence " the mar
K Ket for the product led to. some selling.
Inc. hrmness of the sterling exchange
market and fairly large engagements of
gold for export exerted only passing un-
settled influences. Rumors of an impend-
ing advance July 1st in anthracite coal
prices directed attention to those proper
ties, resulting in some sharp gains on mod.
crate transactions. The net changes of
the week are irregular and slight except
IN few instances. The aggregate sales
were $4,000 shares. Railroad bonds were
iirm i and higher, today with the Reading
l per cent. The advance in other bonds
were less important The sales were $685.

MONEY IN BANK.

NEW YORK. June 1s.--The New York
Financier says this week: If the bank
statement for the week ending June 18th
had been made to show the actual condi-
tion of the New York clearing house banks
up to the close of business Saturday it is
quite probable the increase of 81. 1870, $50 in
the reserve would have been eliminated
In part at least. THhe withdrawal of two
millions of gold for export by Saturdays
steamers was not included in the current
statement and the gain in cash is there
fore not fair estimate. The statement
does show, in a measure the conditions
prevailing during the week and the large
decrease in loans reflects the furry In
stock exchange business of several days
since. It is not doubted that money rates
displayed temporary hardness during the
last two days of the past week and this fact
bears out the assumption that banks
were led to contract their loans for the rea-
son mentioned. Interior remittances con-
tinue heavy In volume. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that for. the corresponding week one
year ago the loans of the New York banks
aggregated $507. 1926, 500, or thirty-three mil
lions In excess of the present volume and
yet rates. today are higher than at that
period. The reserve is about seventeen
millions lower.

rosettes of chiffon or silk and flowers are a
variation on this style which is effective.

There seems to be an effort in the direc-
ton of the revival of exceedingly elaborate
coiffures, but it is doubtful if the fashion is
again found practicable. Complicated and
massive hairdressing was one of the char
acteristics of an era of extreme artifciality,
such as is not likely to be repeated, and
was, moreover, a style which obtained

velvet, jewels and priceless lace in profu-

been careful to delineate the black lines
that marked their delicate finger nails.

General Railroad Notes Along Ghe

IaneOuS.
The mechanical department of the
Santa Fe, in accordance with President
Ripley's theory of economy, is endeavor-
ing to inaugurate a saving in the use of
coal and oil on locomotives, and for
this purpose some time ago ap-
pointed two travelling engineers, Charles
Crane and l. Conroe, who have charge
} of the Chicago and western divisions of
the road respectively. W. R Scott, who
prior to these appointments was the only
travelling engineer on the system, has
now charge Of the eastern, middle. south
ern and southern Kansas divisions of the
road. The duties of a travelling engineer
consist in making trips over the lines on
the engines, noting the work of the en-
CINE and engine crew and reporting any
defect, that if remedied, or change made,
would accomplish a saving.
With three travelling engineers on the
road, the mechanical department ex-
poets to make a reduction in the amount
of coal and oil used and thereby accom-
plish a considerable saving.
