'''ro say ii Is bad manners to stare at

an assertion" said an old clubman
sagely. bad manners are primarily
manners that give annoyance to 9TH

admiration does not necessarily fall
within that category. 1t does not ex-
cite real, sure enough. bona fide wrath

ternoon, for instance. young lady In

trict to a perfect fusillade of stares.
Her gown was plain, but chic beyond
description. Her belt was caught In

garnished with two white doves wings
and big black velvet bow. She was
the Incarnation of youth and grace and
beauty. and she attracted stares as IT.

passengers were carried beyond their

a Warehouse in Shanghai.

With reference to the warehouse which
Che National Association OF Manufacture
ers is TO establish in Shanghai, China,
President Theodore G. Search makes the
following statement:
For more than six months past the
National Association OF Manufacturers
has been making preparations for the es-
adjustment in Shanghai of a large ware
house for the display and sale OF goods
made by members of the association ana
we have advanced so far with our plans
that we shall probably be able to open
the warehouse for business about the nrsI
OF the year.
srhe warehouse viii contain two de-
partments, one for the display OF goods
and the other for making sales. The
financial arrangements, which have been
made in the United States and III China,
will permit the transaction of all business
upon cash basis and any goods that may
be sold through the warehouse VIII be pald
for at the time of shipment from the Unit
ed States. The storage and display section
will not undertake any business transac-
tions but the business department VIII
he conducted under the supervision and
control of the association and provision
will be afforded for the accommodation OF
its members and the promotion OF its
members interests.
II regard this as the most important
step that has ever been taken in China
with view of the extension OF American
trade in that country. 1t will be entirely
an American institution from beginning
to end. This warehouse viii be the sec
ond in series OF such establishments
which the association has undertaken
The first was opened in Caracas, Vene-

for others to follow the one in Shanghai

Money Market.

New York, Oct. 2l.-The idea that the
completion of TIE Central Pacific read
iustment plan. by the delivery OF the
new securities issued under the plan, will
disturb the money market has not been
borne out by the actual movement OF
money. As matter of fact the demand
for the new securities. particularly the
3l-2 per cent bonds, has been so heavy
from other cities that actual delivery OF
the securities has exerted a favorable in
fuence upon the market
