THE BEARS OBTAINED CONTROL

moruhs is fair example Of the relative.
ness, Of things. It is,not less puzzle, how.
ever. and the hand Of manipulation Is to
some degree feared. One authority ex-
plnina 1t by the claim that certain large
spot interest is short ito mills and has been
since last November; that the scheme OF
this interest Is now to keep July down IN
the hope of covering and creating short
interest to help make an average against
losses incurred since the season commenced
through selling future deliveries at dis.
count. The aspect OF the labor troubles In
this country does not augur as we'll for In.
dustrial circles, but the progress Of trade
has not yet been stayed to a perceptive de.
gree.
Liverpool was in very friendly attitude.
Sales ON the spot amounted to 1900 bales
at quotations lower by lied. In the iuale
contracts stood unchanged to about la-b4d
hgher. The following wire from New York
gives food for thought as to transatlantic
matters: There is a rumor here that
there Is likely to be u crisis In the Ian
cashire spinning trade and that there will
be meeting held on July IL IN reference
to curtailing production"
New York opened practically unchanged
from the previous close. This was the best
level Of the day and slight weakness pre-
vailed during the FIRST hour. a gradual
recovery OF the loss then set in and there
was little alteration during the rest of the
morning, but another bulge around the noon
call again brought the best of the day.
steady recession followed and bringing
6-point loss in thirty minutes formed the
when
decline began and extending through the
rest Of the session caused the lowest OF
the day. In the net result July advanced
10 points, February g and the other options
gained and points.
New Orleans started unchrnged on near
and 2 points higher on later positions \
than points were lost during the first
hour. This was regained in the latter part
OF the morning with point to spare, but
rapid break occurred as noon approac hed
and a loss OF 8 points formed the level
through the FIRST part Of the afternoon In
the last hour another decline set In and
made bottom prices, which were In EVIL.
dence on the final call In the net result
July lost point November and the bal
ance OF the list went to 7 points lower.
6ales at the four American markets
amounted TO 1915 bales and no changes
were mnde In spots

the movement. Receipts at oil ports for

what they could toward enlightening the poor
whites of the neghborhood. The task was not al
easy one. The people live in little huts widely
scattered through the pine barrens around the
town. Their most prominent characteristic is sus-
picion, deeply ingraned by generations of hopeless
struggle against superior intellects. They are

PREPARATIONS DU DR. DYS

TT is an open secret that there are no more
middle-aged women.
Women at the beginning of the new century
are either young or old. The middle-aged woman
has disappeared from society. This is not joke,
but the truth, and the reason is easi!' explained
Every care is given to the preservation of
youthful appearance. and thanks to the Sachets
de Toilette Of DR.. Dys, ii is within the reach Of
all Nothing is simpler than the treatment which
the woman who "cares" undergoes at present.
In a few words it suffices to squeeze Sachet
de Toilette into a basin of tepid water add a
tablespoonful OF Seve Dermale, and battle the
face for a few minutes morning and evening, to
look at forty as does at twenty.
By the constant of these delightful little
Sachets the lines of fatigue about the eyes and
mouth are either prevented or obliterated, and
women laugh at the flight of Time, who is thus
ont Witted, and leaves trace of months and
years upon the faces of the women of to-day.
In case you timid and fear the conse-
ouences of the use of these Sachets, l can posi-
tively assure you that they contain nothing but
the crushed seeds and pulverized leaves OF spe-
ciaI vegetables, quite harmless and beneficial TO
the skin. >, - - 80
