Fashions for children are charminsly
dainty and graceful. For parties the En-.

but some quaint little frocks after the
Stuart period, in white satin, with van:

sleeves, are very tempting for little girls
of from seven to ten, with their hair

little sacques Of worked muslin, but hard

Twas a gawdy, spotted Leopard
On the plains of Timbuctoo;
Who met one sunny morning
With a happy Kangaroo
"Your suit is really startling.
Said the latter, with a smile.
For polka-dots no longer
Are thought the proper style;
And though no criticism
On your tailor would cast
I have a strong suspicion that
The color isn't: fast. =

Most sudden did occur;
Which filled the air around them
With what resembled fur;
And the Leopard sometime later.
Much larger round the waist,
Nlused long in pensive manner
On that Kangaroo's: good taste"

than in any similar period for many
months, the total reaching nearly
three quarters Of a million shares. Dur
ing the latter half of the session trad
ing was much interrupted by the New
! Years celebration of the produce ex-
change on the neighboring floor. The
taking of profits on the two days rise
made considerable impression upon
prices during the final hour. so that
some conspicuous stocks lost all Of their
early gains The great factor in the
days market was the safe passage of
what has been considered a danger
point in money affairs. The fact that
New Years day has been reached with
out money embarrassment is taken as
demonstrating the success of the plans
for meeting the extraordinary require
ments upon the money market at this
season. Confidence is general that nor
NAL relaxation in money sales will fol-
low the turn of the year. Current re-
ports of railroad earnings show larg-
er ratio Of increase in gross earnings,
arousing the hope of an improved
showing in net returns. The yearly re-
views now appearing of the extraOrdin-
airy prosperity during the closing year
had strong sentimental effect on spec
ulation, and the governments esti-
mates promising very large cereal crops
gave ground for a hopeful feeling as
to the future. OF the days special de-
velopment the maintenance of the
per cent. dividend on Delaware & Hud-
son stock was reassuring factor, espe-
cially in the case of the coalers. That
group, however, was affected by realiz-
ing. The rise in the price of copper
had generally favorable effect besides
its special influence on Amalgamated.
The state railroad commissions attitude
toward the local street railways induce
ed heavy speculation in Manhattan.
Brooklyn Transit was held back on ac-
count of the presentment by the Kings
county grand jury condemning its car
service. A feature of the day was the
diligence with which all classes of
stocks were bid up so long as offerings
continued light. A number of recent
flotations which have been practically
dormant owing to the tight money mar
ket, were vigorously advanced. Exam
pies were United States Realty and
American Steel Foundries and on the
curb. International Marine (when is
sued).
The money market continued stiff to-
day, but eased off in the late transact
lions. The trust companies continued
to call loans and the forces depicting
reserves seemed to be still active, but
all such considerations wore ignored in
the almost eXultant confidence express
ed by stock operators that the turn
of the year will see the end of their
money troubles.
The bond market was broad and ac
tive and made general advances. Total
sales par value $2,345,00O.
United States bonds were all un-
changed on the last call.
