Embroidered

Nothing is sighted when a French
woman holds the needle, and never was
that fact so evident as in the thousands
of Hendkerchiefs that come to Amer
lea as models of her needlecraft.
Ladies' Handkerchiefs, of dainty
Linen, exquisitely embroidered, at 81;
others at $1.25; finer qualities still at
$3.50 and 81.
At prices still higher than theses,
$40, and up to $5O-some Handker-
chiefs show daintiness and beauty of
texture and characterization not excelled
by point lace itself.

In Wnll Street..

New York, July 7.-Todays advance in prices were probably intended as an admon- ttion to the bear party that they were not to be allowed to have their own. way in forcing down prices even in the existing dullness of speculation. Today's buying gave no indication that they grew out of an urgent desire for the ownership of se- curities, but seemed rather an organized effort to mark up prices. There was some covering of short contracts induced by the advance, but nothing to show that there had been any large outstanding short in- terest in the market. The advance in sugar may have been due to buying of shorts to realize their profits on the adoption of the Hawaiian annexation resolution by the senate yesterday and probably the demand from this quarter induced some bidding up of the stock to exert pressure on the shorts.
 The buying of the Vanderbilts was a professional manoeuvre by large bull in terests. The gains in the stocks ranged from l to 2 points. When this buying ceased the general list showed a slightly reactionary tendency, but not sufficient to wipe out the earlier gains. The pushing up of prices is clearly designed to invite outside interest in the market, but no such interest was manifested. The impending adjournment of congress and renewed re- ports that Spain was about to sue for peace tended to help the rise. Reports of railroad earnings were also encouraging. Tohe money market continues easy. New York exchange in Chicago fell today to par against 20 cents premium yesterday.

Paine. Murphy x Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham. Ala, July 2.
 The sudden collapse of the opposition to the Hawaiian annexation bill before the senate last evening and the quick passage of the bill caused considerable anxiety as to the price of Sugar this morning, predic- tions being freely made that the price would be from to 10 points lower but many were disappointed, as it opened but 1 point lower, and immediately rallied on heavy buying by inside interests supposed to be for the Havemeyer people This strngth, together with the presidents proc lamation, which was strongly favored with peace, caused stock to rule very strong We continue to call attention to the Flow CT stocks as being the best investments in the list. There are rumo%s from reliable sourcs that Spain will sue for peace thas week. Many Spanish officers and men are deserting to our forces around Santiago. and the city will likely surrender without further bloodshed. Should this happen the market would advance rapidly.

into day. This custom 10 still kept up
In the north Of England. The size OF
these logs Of wood. which were In
fact Erea, trees. may be imagined from
the fact that In the time Of the civil
