dicated some resulting relief from the
pressure upon New York. The higher
rates for time loans here encouraged
further borrowing of foreign funds
through the sterling market. But the
stocks which rose in price were sold for
London account, thus increasing the de-
mand for exchange in payment. This
months transfers of currency through
the sub Treasury to Chicago have now
reached 81 ,0000 900 compared with $780,
000 for this time last year, and to New
Orleans this months movement is 800,
600 compared with $150,000.
Reports from Chicago indicate that
heavy demands are making on that cen
ter for currency from western and north
western points.
That the stock market is still well in
control by large speculative interests
was demonstrated by the early strength
of the eastern trunk lines and by the
revival of strength in Missouri Pacific.
The six point squirt in Sugar was in the
nature of punishment to bear Specula-
tors who have sold this stock short very
freely of late. The aggressive rally in
Colorado Fuel and the upward rush in
United States Steel at the close today
were suggestive of large results. The
closing generally was steady.
The bond market was irregular. Total
sales, par value, 81, 800, 900

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, July 10.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet with prices unchanged
TO one point higher and soon took a de-
oided upward tendency on demand from
the shorts, light support from the scalp
ing element and purchases for foreign
account. Continued dry weather over the
South central portion of the belt where
The crop is said to be badly in need of
moisture was the chief basis of the bull
movement. though large spot sales in
Liverpool naturally helped to strengthen
hull confidence here. After the first hour
trade quieted down materially and for the
balance of the session fluctuations were
confined to a narrow rut. At times
speculation came to a complete stand
still The market for futures in Liver
pool was quite as expected by the trade
here and attracted little attention. Re
ceipts were again very light but had been
anticipated The New York stock suffered
through the exporting of $500 bales to
Europe and Japan. The weather fore
EAST was quite reassuring in that it
promised showers to good rains prac-
tioally over the entire belt tonight and
tomorrow. The market for futures closed
quiet and steady with prices net one to
four points higher. Total sales for the
day were estimated at G0,000 bales, nearly
all in the new crop months.

New York February 15-Lent has put it's penitential robes on danes of fashion and forty days of rest come to those who have worn themselves out in doing deeds certainly conspicuous ard possibly agreeable. say possibly agreeable, as I am in doubt exactly as to the degree of pleasure my dear women friends get out
 of 1t all There are some things l know they enjoy and there are things l know they do not enjoy. After some reflection and years of observation l have come to the conclusion that women do a great deal that involves physical fatigue and gives little pleasure in itself, but is nec- essary to that which brings the pleasure; 1; and that pleasure is the secret delightful thought that they move and have their
 being in the most approved circles of fashion.
 We'll however, 1t may be. the fact at
 the present moment of the grec lest in-
 terest is that Lent has imposed its per- lod
 of rest and there will be at first dull week and then there will be good deal
 going on in a quiet sort of way. It is
 not considered good form to give large lHNlIdIlOD udHCe lIOuBH l4Sht.
 Of course, small dances do not come
 under this heading, informal affairs that
 follow dinners, etc, but private balls of any size and subscription dances as well
 must needs stop when the Lenten season opens
 At one time 1t was thought unfashion-
 able to be married in Lent, but now that Mrs. Morton has selected Lent for the marriage of her daughter to MT. Win | throp Rutherfurd, a precedent IS estab- lished which may change things mate | rially Lent is a time of all the year | for the announcement of matrimonial en- gagement, so at first glance it would | seem as though 1t were an eminently nit | ting time to be married. especially as | now marriages follow so soon after the | announcements of the engagements. Mrs. l Stokes and MT. Phil Lydig went even a | step and their wedding took place be- | fore the engagement was announced, al- l though 1t had been talked about as pos | sible event. Mrs. Stokes was a Catholic, although her late husband was not, and
 I believe quite a pious one. It was cur rently rumored that she would visit | Rome and endeavor to obtain dispensa- tion from His Holiness, the Pope. While | this was being talked about (and l may | say entre nous that divorces are now | such a feature of our social life that the attitude of the Roman Catholic church and the Protestant Episcopal church gives us much to say on the subjecD. my lady walks into Grace church and
 gives us all a surprise.
 It is safe to assume that Mrs. Lydlg proposes to become a Protestant. Now. this raises another interesting field of talk. The Adrian Iselins are devout

what this means for Spain, it Is neces- sary to explain that Christina, in spite of her Austrian birth and education, and notwithstanding the Hapsburg blood in her veins, is a Liberal in politics, and imbued with profound respect for the constitutional rights of the people. If any reproaeh can be addressed to her in connection with her tenure of power since the death of her husband, more than sixteen years ago. it is that she has too completely subordinated herself to the national legislature, without sufri- ciently taking into account the fact that, owing to political corruption, admins trative terrorism. clerical influence and defective electoral methods, the parlia- mentary majority in Spain. as in so many other continental countries of Europe, does not always represent either the views of the people or their best inter ests. There have been times when it would have been better for Spain, es- pecially before the outbreak of the war with this country, if the Queen Regent had gone beyond her limitations as constitutional sovereign, and had ruled for a time independently of the Cortes. but for the good of the people, And thus it happens that, while she has succeeded in preserving the throne for her boy un-
 
 upon in the light of a forlorn hope at the time of his birth-yet she has failed to give satisfaction to any of the great political parties in the kingdom. The Liberals are dissatisfied because she did not crush all oppostions to those many reforms which have been promised since her husbands death, and the existence of which on the programme of the Lib eral party has served to keep until now the republican element from active war | fare upon the monarchy. The Conserva- tives are angry with her for manifesting a preference for Liberal statesmen and Liberal ideas. The clergy are opposed to her for allowing the inauguration of measures destined to subject industries and commercial enterprises managed and owned by religious orders to the same l fiscal obligations as those in secular 1 hands. In one word, she has satisfied mo- body, and so great is her unpopularity that realizing 1t and fearing lest 1t should handicap her boy, she is making the to her. particularly cruel sacrifice of talk. ing up her residence under different roof. lest there should be any suspicion in the minds of the people that she is influencing his policy thereby rendering 1t distasteful to them.
