hats in yeoman and trooper shapes,
some of which have the regulation chin

around the hair behind. For such head

slightly OF some stocks, but the balance
OF transactions on that account was on
the account OF sales. This had senti-

London's active buying yesterday that
sustained support would be accorded to
the market from that source. There
was nothing In the news OF the day to
afford q clear explanation Of the weak

ton stocks showed some positive
weakness and were something ola drag
on the market as was Sugar. The local

sudden squirt to l6i& by Metropolitan,
after having sold at 100 a few minutes
had a steadylng effect on the whole
market. which was tending downwards
up to that time. The weakness in Su-
gar was due to the explicit announce
ment that recent negotiations for q
compromise OF the trade war had been
abandoned. The iron and steel stocks
continued dull and rather heavy on ac-
count OF the machinlsts' strike. There
was some apprehension early IN the

proved groundless. Money continued in
