Evening Slippers.

The slippers that are worn in the even-
ing with the ball or dinner gowns are
simply fascinating this year. They are not
50 pointed at the toes, but nevertheless do
not look in the least like the common-sense
shapes. They are the color Of the gown,
embroidered in seed-pearls or rhinestones
or are Of black satin or black patent leath-
er. They are cut with long vamps and short
vamps; some have a strap across the instep
and q big bow. with a rhinestone buckle;
others, again, have short vamps, the vamp
being completely covered with embroidery
The number of pairs of slippers that is
supposed to be requisite in every thorough
outfit must needs be the same as the gowns
for in these days of luxury every gown
has its slippers to match But the woman
who has to be economical can solace her
self with the thought that she is quite in
the fashion when she wears very smart
black slippers, of which one pair, when
economy has to be practised, will be suffl-
cient. provided that the one pair are of a
good shape, fit well, and are made of satin,
patent leather, or very soft leather.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK, March 3.-Todays stock
market was given over TO the covering OF
outstanding short contracts. especially
those in Third Avenue and American Sugar.
The buying was the result OF no new de-
Nelopments, but the decline having as
suued such profitable proportions. traders
We're not disposed to await further adverse
developments. The directors will probably
determine the rate of dividend on Sugar at
next Wednesdays meeting and whatever
is done will probably result in the early
elimination of that stock as a dominant
market influence.
The price was opened of to a6 this MORN
ing and later rallied to 1O1. the final trans
action being near the last level.
In Sd avenue the advance was more sub
stantial and was partly Influenced by yes
terday's tender. by conservative banking
interest. of S1O.oO0,oO0 loan. The appear
ance of friendly interest was something
OF surprise to recent sellers, and their
sales were quickly covered.
The entire market reflected a professional
d. mand. but the ease with which the rail-
way list rallied was generally commented
upon as indicating a strong natural mar
ket.
The most important development of the
week has been the activity In banking cir
Giles. incident to the probable passage of the
currency bill
As was stated several weeks ago the In
crease in loans and the attitude Of the
banks in discouraging speculation in the
presence of a per cent money rate were
eXpla1nabie only because of a gigantic
financial undertaking outsideof Wall street.
Up to the present time more than 1 800
state and private banks have signified a
desire to be incorporated under the ma
uonal banking act in order to take adYan-
tage of the provisions of the pending bill
This operation is reflected in today's bank
statement by an increase of - GIL ,Up in
loans. The bulk of this increase represents
loans by local banks government bonds
bought for the new institutions about to
be formed.
Ctrcu alton has increased sGl2 900 during
the week due TO an increased deposit OF
bonds with the treasury. on which 40 per
cent OF circulation is taken now. and the
remaining 10 per cent awaits only the pas
sage Of the bill.
This item is expected to run well above
the S25ooo.ooo mark. The banks have lost
S5.2i4, 400 in lawful money. most of il in
specie, but these losses should shortly dis
appear. For the fourth successive week the
deposits are inconsistent. this weeks gain
in that item being 81 350.0o0 under the
amount necessary TO balance the state
ment. The net result is reflected by a de-
crease of S6,031 600 in the reserve. bringing
that Item down to Sl3, GIL 80.
The releasing of April interest and the
early operation of the currency bill should
bring the money market into harmony with
railroad earnings and other evidences of
prosperity. The market should develop an
outside demand very shortly but the pros
pect is one demanding mare discrimination.
