REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks. Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, July 15.-To-day's short
market was so narrow and so nearly
Stagnant that movements or prices
were of little significapce. There was
perceptible tone of firmnesS, how ever,
which was emphasized after the ap-
pearance of the bank statement by the
hasty covering of some small bear con-
tracts in the Changers. which had been
put out just previous to the appear
ance of the statement. Probably the
greater part of the days business WAS
given over to the closing out of short
contracts by the bears. This contln-
gent had been particularly active in
Brooklyn Transit during the past week.
on the persistent talk OF n pending
strike. Their buying to cover to-day
made that stock the most active on
the list and moved it up to points
from the opening decline. Sugar was
largely bought and rose at one time IA
over last night. Peoples Gas recovered
Sharply from yesterdays prices. Ore
gon Navigation preferred advanced ia
on the discharge of the voting trust
and the implied guarantee of preferred
dividends to the amount of 10 per cent.
In yearly nstallments. Cotton Oil rose
over a point. Manhattan and the
Southwestern railways were also in
clined to strengthen.
The bank statement was UP to eX-
pectation in the item of loan contrac-
tions and the consequent reduction in
deposit liabilities. 1t was unexpecte teddy
favorable in the showing of a gain in
cash, considering the payment of 81
100000 to the sub-treasury on customs
payments during the week. The local
money market worked still lower to-
day. but demand sterling advanced a
significant fraction and London dis
counts were also harder Sterling eX-
change at Continental centres also rose
Sharply, lending point to the note of
alarm sounded by the weekly English
financial publications over the mme-
date future OF the London money
market.
The bond market was moderately act
I've and rather Irregular. the South
western railroad issues moving up in
sympathy with the strength of the
stocks.
U. S. 2's and old As registered have
declined Ac. in the bid price.
The total sales OF stocks were 1265O0
shares.

fAILORS' SPECIALS"
The Queer Pockets ard Other Things That TniIors Have to Put
 Into Clothes.
"No special"

''No special"
 With that remark to the assistant who took down the measurements the tailor dismissed his patron and slid that the suit would be finished ''sure on a certain day
 What did you mean by the saying no special to your clerk?" asked the customer.
 Well. that means that you want your clothes made all right and with out any crank things about them. Pockets are the great specials. We have customers who want. besides the regular pockets. places in their waist coats for pencils, eyeglasses and all sorts of things. Some pencil pockets are made to hold only one pencil and some for a bunch Eyeglass pockeTs are also ordered in keeping with the shape and style of the glasses, and pockets for cigars are ordered for ail sizes, from the little half-pencil shape to the great big perfecto. Freak pock- cts inside Of other pockets. are also in demand. and chamois-lined pockets, which we usually make for the watch side of the waistcoat. are ordered often ! for trousers by men who carry silver trinkets in them. But pockets are net the only specials The European GUS tom of wearing black band on the left sleeve to indicate mourning is becom- ing popular in this country. and the band is one of our specials.
 Another class of special customers are those whose garments are made with view to the wearer's health. Many men have an inner band of red flannel put on the waist of their trous- CTS as a cure for rheumatism. and some driving coats are made so that sheets of stout paper may be slipped between the breast lining and the cloth when driving against the wind.
 "On the whole" said the tailor, "a man in my business has the best Op- portunity to find out the kinks and queer points about men. not only as to their persons, but their minds. N. |. Tribune.
