the steamship business on this side out

Commerce. The movement to import

Partisan friend. The fabric. of soft taf-
feta in a faint shade of olive, was
trimmed with chiffon demonstrations OF
lace. The skirt was arranged in the
very narrowest plaits. laid vertically, OF
course, and ending underneath the
crossed band of folded chiffon, which
was edged with bands of lace applique.
Below this band were three snort
fiounces, tucked on the edges and with
surfaces decorated with handsome me-
dallions of lace. Empire wreaths of
lace were scattered over the plated
portion of the skirt, the upper part of
which showed a pointed application of
chiffon framed in the lace. The blouse.
of the softest white point d'esprit, was
confined at the waist by a sash band of
silk. The short bolero displayed bands
of the lace and a deep collar of silk
frilled and oVerlaid with lace. The
jacket sleeves of tucked silk were cut
off at the elbow, where daintily frilled
and puffed folds of chiffon looking
much like the petals of large flowers
were substituted for the usual fiounces-

Washington, Oct 23.-The report of
hudson Lyons, register of the treasury
.oartmept for the fiscal year ended
zine SO 4s.st was made public today. The
most interesting feature of the report is
an analysis of the holdings of loans,
showing the number Of foreign holders
Of United States bonds compared with
domestic holders. This analysis shows
that out of a total of 1882, 943, $50 of
bonds only $16022. $50 is held by foreign
ers, and of this latter amount s12,57S,-
900 is held by insurance companies and
Is on deposit with the superintendents
Of insurance in the various states of the
union. These deposits are required in
order that the policy holders in the
states wherein the companies do bust
ness may be secured from loss. This
leaves the individual foreign holdings Of
United States bonds $3,444 $50. The
bonds most largely held by foreign in
surance companies are those of the 4
per cent loan Of 1925. The insurance
companies of England, China. Scotland
and Sweden have on deposit in this
country bonds of this loan to the
amount of $5.617 900.
The per cent. funded loan of 1907 is
the oldest loan now extant, and at one
time was quite largely held by foreign
0rs. It is still the favorite for indiVid-
ual investors. Owners of these bonds to
the extent of SIS, $40, $50 are scattered over
most of the countries of Europe and
also in other parts of the world. In
gurance companies in England Ger
many. Holland. Scotland, New Zealand
and Russia hold 81 765, 500 of the bonds
Of this loan, while the individual hold

can capital to invest in the national Sc
eurities= the chief of the loans division

mot a dollar issued to maintain the
expenses Of the Spanish war went
abroad. and almost $4,000, 900, or half
the amount issued, was in bonds ranging
In denomination from 500 to $780, the

sued, and that bonds of the value OF
$174 ,270 were Cancelled. The payment
of $4,000 of the bonds issued in 1865 on

ton of those bonds. The aggregate of
