OPENING PRICES HIGHER.
Better Feeling Apparent on the Stock

New York, July 29.-Although open

market showed a hesitating tone in the

was increasingly cheerful. The alb

EDWARD AT LONDONDERRY.
Zig Crowd Turns Out to Greet English
..- SOVEREIGN.

Londonderry, Ire, July 29.-King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra were &C
corded a great reception on their ar
rival here during the day. Large
crowds from the surrounding districts
assembled to greet the first English
sovereign who had ever visited Lon

Their majesties were met at the rail-
road station by the mayor and corpora
ton. The usual number of addresses
were presented, replying to which the
king expressed his. pleasure at the ref
erences to the spirit of good feeling
and harmony p%ervading all classes in.
Ireland, adding that if his visit helped
to extend and consolidate this feeling
he would be richly rewarded.
Their majesties subsequently lunch
ed at the Guildhall and attended a
variety of functions. Among the pleas
ant Incidents was the presentation of a
special address to the queen from the
women of Londonderry, drawing atten-
ton to the fact that Londonderry is
an important center of industrial work
for women and higher education CT
women. The king, replying in behalf
of the queen, expressed the opinion
that the higher education of women
is one of the happiest features OF our

romantic because Of it's absolute dis

New York. July 29.-While, still
ayerse to placing their opinions on

terests of this city practically agree
that events of the past fortnight have
done much to clear the atmosphere.
A few express further apprehension as
to.the stock markets action and there

"The country has undergone a gen

the. case advantage is taken OF such
conditions to promote a great many
securities at greatly inflated. values.
That has been the experience OF a
great many people. in the last three or
four years. .. :"
1--WE have gone@tao far and too fast.
We have been doing too much business
for our capital. AZ hardening process,
which subjected securities to level
that would determine their proper
value, was bound to ensue and is now
in progress throughout the country.
Business Conditions Excellent.
General business conditions, how
ever, are in excellent shape, the crops
are so munificent that it will be i'm
possible to produce. anything like a
financial or commercial crisis, and
people will have ample opportunity to
put their houses in order.
"The stock market has fallen so
points without serious panic or com
lAcationS Gnd the business interests
Of the country will have equal oppor-
tunity to conform to any fall in prices
or any reduction in the volume of
trade"
Isaac N. SeIigman of j. & w. Selig-
nan & Co. said:
THE recent severe liquidation has
impaired a feeling Of safety and Sc
curly. not only among the careful
banking interests but with the pru-
dent and sensible public. Conditions
which brought about the liquidation
did not result from any fear of tight
money, but simply from overspecula-
ton. The feeling of hopelessness that
prevailed until a few DAYS ago has
been dispelled and investment orders
for high class securities are coming
in. Fully $4,000, 900 to $40, 900 900 OF
European capital has been sent here
for investment within the past week.
The ruling rates for long time money
indicate, in my judgment, that a
money stringency in the fall is most
improbable. l can say definitely, by
way of assurance, that in case there
should be any squeeze during the next
two months the treasury department
will offer prompt relief to legitimate
financial interests"

THE LARGER FOOT.


See n Thfs hoe Salesman's Theory
Fits Your Case.
.The question Of which loot to nt
first is an important to VI" said the
shoe salesman. 1T may seem strange tic
you, but it is rarely that we do not ex.
perience some trouble In Atting one
foot while the other is easily covered.
A popular belief obtains that the left
foot Of every person is the hardest to
fit, and consequently many shoe clerks
always try a shoe on that foot first. II
is not true, however, according to my
observation. that there is any infiexibie
rule as to which foot to try first. It Is
trle. nevertheless, that in a majority
IF cases IL you succeed In fitting the left
foot you will have no trouble with the
right. My practice is to try both feet
before / pronounce a pair of shoes a
perfect fit. Then I am sure Of avoiding
any mistake growing out of peculiar
tiles of foot formation. No two per;
sons have feet formed exactly alike.
and the shoe salesman who thinks so
and is governed accordingly will meet
with many complaints. f
J For some time l pondered over the
problem OF fitting shoes to feet. and es-
'peciaIly as to why the left foot should
be considered the standard by which
TO be governed. The only rational the
DRY L have eversbeen able to evolve Is
a very simple bne when you comeftto
consider itsa Nine out of ten persons

About one person in ten, or perhaps the
cent is even less than that. uses lis
left hand. If youswili observe persons
WHO use the right hand when they, are
standing. and talking they invariably
rest their weight on the left foot. And,
vice versa; a left handed person will
rest his or her weight on the right foot.
The result is that with right handed
persons heEleft foot is probably a frac.
ton larger than the right foot, and the
shoe clerk must inevitably find this to
be a fact sooner or later."-New Or
