The street will almost surely have to
face an active money market and higher
prices for money within a few days. This
may be considered a good or bad argu-
ment as one chooses, but certainly it
would seem that it must have tendency
to lessen activity on the stock exchlnge.
The factors that must make money
scarce are very clear, though they have
not been taken into consideration by the
street very generally. Saturdays bank
statement showed an increase of nine
millions in loans. which makes the total
increase in the last month nearly forty
millions. Also 1t reduces the reserve in
the New York banks TO very little above
the amount required by law. There is
stringency abroad. which apparently
is growing greater. Money is at high
rate, away above that ruling here. Money
will certainly not come this way at pres
ent. Instead. London and the Continent
are very likely to sell American securities
as they did yesterday in large blocks.

A Millinery Opening.

| When Mrs H. +. Tibbetts announces a
| spring millinery opening the public have
! been accustomed to expect to see some
exceptionally fine works of art in the
shape of beautiful hats and bonnets As
dow display they quickly decide that they
are not to be disappointed this season
These. as we'll as all the trimmed hats
will bear a close inspection on account of
the good taste displayed in the trim
ming. The orange hat in the window is
a leghorn and heavily trimmed with
large orange flowers and chiffon, repre-
senting all the many shades included this
season in the word yellow. The effect Of
so much yellow is relieved by the lovely
black and white aigrettes and the grace
full velvet bow in the back. 1t is one Of
the most charming of the many hats.
The whole style of the hat is graceful
and one of its chief attractions is due to
its position when on the head. The French
toque may not be "American," enough
for some, nevertheless it is one of the
most attractive. and some styles of com
plexion and beauty will consider il
quite Indispensable to their make up.
For truly jaunty hat select the black
hat: by the way it is already sold but will
remain on exhibition. No black bird was
ever blacker than this hat with its
spangled crown, rim and quilts. quanti-
ties of black violets (why should not vo-
lets rebel at this change Of color sur
round it. making on the whole a very
striking and attractive hat.
On entering the store you will find Mrs.
Tibbetts charming assistants calling your
attention to many beautiful hats. each
one largely representing some particu-
larly fashionable color or shade. The
bluette satin straw hat is a marvel of
beauty and maguticence. well calculated
10 adorn some stately form. one of the
most expensive hats in this collection is
quite wonderful as a whole. The crown
is hand worked. embroidered with lace
and jets. the crown is also surrounded
with rich lace scarf. and the fancy
green straw brim with the spray of rose
foliage Which gracefully shoots out pro-
fusion of lovely rose buds. and under the
brim bouquet of marshal neil roses,
all constitute a superb hat rather be-
yond the reach of the ordinary purse. A
magnificent display of shirrcd chiffon of
all the fashionable colors viii attract
Your attention in this store and You can
not well escape seeing an elegant glass
case in which is displayed some Of the
richest laces. Mrs. Tihbctts' stock of
