A bodice which your correspondent

groups and fitted to a tight lining of

ering at the neck and waist line the
bodice is close fitting at this point.
The trimming consists of a very
youthful bolero or rose colored taffeta
Stitched in silk braid of a rich Jacque
rose red shade. The bolero is sus-
pended over the shoulders by little
straps which are ruffied along the
edges with plated bands of ribbon to
match the waist. These bands are
also sewed upon the sleeves above the
elbow. 1t is fastened with strips of
narrow ribbon laced through eyelets
and tied in lovers knots. The neck is
neatly finished with a plain band of
taffeta to match the bolero.

ment 81 iii day Mi 81 Mstzopolitan
Street Railway, which was affected w
the published discussion Of the con-
dition Of q prominent trust company.
This publication served to explain last
weeks depression In Metropolitan and
a group Of industrials, and served also
to renew it. Metropolitan, Brooklyn
Transit and the Tobacco stocks were
all affected. Metropolitan fell an ex-
IRENE. 6A. An announcement of the
bidders for the New York rapid tran
sit tunnel contract rallied the stock
slightly above last nights level, on
the belief that Metropolitan interests
were concerned in the bidding. An ex-
ample of the kind of motives that in
fluenced the trading was that assigned
for the buying of Sugar. One of the
large selling orders came from a
brokerage house which handles money
loans for the American Sugar Rein
ing Company. The traders argued
that opening selling by insiders indi-
Gated a desire to induce selling by
others, upon which sapient conclusion
they bought Sugar. London seemed
to take a cheerful view of the military
developments in South Africa, but
with very little effect in this market.
Reports Of a strike depressed Amer
lean Steel and Wire and some other
metal stocks by sympathy. The
money market continued to work
easier under the influence of continued
gains from the interior and from the
sub-treasury. Time money was read
lily obtained at 5 per cent on railroad
stocks. Call loans were in small de-
mand at 3h@4h per cent. The in
creasing supply of loanable funds
seems to offer no Indictment to specu-
lation. Last weeks sales of stocks
were 2,684,071 shares. In the CORES
ponding week of last year there were
sold 5,830,075 shares. Last weeks sales
of railroad bonds were of a par value
of $8,563, 900. In the corresponding
week of last year they were Of a par
value of s32,343,0 900. But, as it is aptly
observed, easy money does not neces-
sarily mean easy borrowing. Money
lenders and capitalists as well as spec
u~lators, suffered from the collapse in
values in the December smash, and
there are many securities upon which
no loans can be negotiated. The pre-
valent dullness of speculation may be
attributed to that wisdom which even
the burnt child is proverbially said
to attain by experience.
There were some heavy individual
transactions in bonds, and the market
was mainly firm, but there were sufi-
cient declines to give it an irregular
appearance. Total sales, par value,

many. Great Britain aud probably Japan
are not averse to a course which viii
bring about territorial divisions 1t was
supposed that Japan stood against any
division of the empire, but the landing
OF Japanese troops at Annoy can not be
accounted for on the ground that Jap
anese temple has been burned So that
It is an accepted view that Japan is at
least making ready to be in position
to share in any division of territory which
must come. The course of Russia in taxi
ing New Chang can not be viewed in the
same light as the landing OF troops at
Annoy or Shanghai, as this was for
the sole purpose OF protecting Russla's
railroad line and any Interior territorial
purposes have been disolaimed by Russia.
So far as Great Britains purposes are
concerned. in the absence of any express
declaration, the landing OF troops at
Shanghai is strong evidence that Great
Britain Wishes to control the Yang Use
valley which is the garden spot OF
China.
On the part OF Germany, the doubt as
to her future course is due mainly to
Count Won Wsldersee's speeches since the
taking OF Pekin. These have indicated
that he was going on an extensive cam
paign and that the fall of the Chinese
capital was only the initial step in d
comprehensive programme, requiring the
presence of large army. Just what
this means is not clear, but 1t has at
least created much surprise in Washing
ton and some other capitals. The DIFF
ferences ever Ii Hung Chang's credentials
are three fold. One view including that
Of the United States is that the creden-
tials are acceptable; another Is that they
have never been shown to carry complete
authority while the third view Ia that
the original credentials we've valid al
the time. but have since become invalid
through the flight of the emperor ana
empress dowager and the complete col
lapse OF the Chinese government. The
question OF credentials does not seem so
difficult to deal with and will probably
he solved to the satisfaction OF all con
cerned, but II is not clear thus far that
the powers can be brought into complete
accord on general policy for the future
of China. Each appears to be waiting
for the other to act, and on the part OF
some there is traditional dlsinclination
TO go into the outlining OF policies.
