VeIasquez.


Like Rembrandt, Velasquez gradually
worked up to the mastery and summary
handling that distinguishes his later style
through an early period which was charac-
terized by great precision and some hard
ness. Indeed it may be laid down as q
general law in painting-a law to which l
should like to call the attention of my
friends, the imprcssionists-tha the only
way to arrive at really mastery sketchi
ness Is to do great deal of preliminary
work in very precise and careful style.
Even when the method Of Velasquez was
most rapid and summary 1t meyer degene-
rated into carelessness. Indeed 6ewas one
of the few court painters who have been
able to resist the deterioratinR influences
OF his surroundings. Holbein was another

III The WORLD OF FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, July 15.-The volume of
business in stocks to-day was consider
ably larger than for some time past, and
the movement of prices was almost unin-
terrup1ediy downward. AT times the
market presented a rather ragged an
pearance and material declines were
numerous, ranging between 1 and z per
cent The trading was unusually we'll
distributed, with the main pressure
against the industrials and grangers.
some OF the more extreme losses oc-
CURED however, in the usually inactive
stocks and on nominal DEALINGS A. in
tervals heavy blocks of leading active
shares changed hands. The slump in
values was due to aggressive bear raiding
ana to liquidation by tired holders. The
strength OF the market was credited to
the disturbing rumors of gold boarding
ana 10 apprehension regarding the de-
creaslhg gold reserve of the L. s Treas.
