PRICES LAGGFD SOME
But There Are No Indications Of
Weakness in Stocks.

New York, Feb. 9.-Some reluctance
developed in the upward movement OF
prices on the stock exchange today and
efforts to get them higher were largely
relinquished as the day wore on. The
strength of a few stocks did not serve
to prevent the average level Of prices
from dipping lower than last night.
But the effect of the decline was to
sink the trading into great dullness
and suspend prices at a range only
slightly below last night.
1t is regarded as technical evidence
of strength in the market after the ex-
tensive rise if a pause or set back in
the movement does not bring out large
offerings of speculative holdings to
realize profits or save losses. One of
the most striking features of the re-
cent market is the seeming disappear
ance of stocks and their failure to
come out except at a substantial en-
hancement in prices.

THE NEW woMAN's HANDS.

It is stated on the authority of the
head of a well known glove manufac-
turing firm that the marking of the
sizes on ladies' gloves has recently I'M
dergone a change Eecessitated by the
modern feminine devotion to sports. 4
No. 8 glove of today is larger than a
No. 6 glove of five years ago. and this
applies TO all the sizes made. The eX-
PLANTATION is that ladies' hands have
grown larger than they used to be
through their practice of cycling, golf
ing, hockey, etc, but they do not like TO
admit it, so the glovemakers meet the
new conditions and yet avoid hurting
the vanity of their customers by q
process which means that the girl who
is wearing a No. G glove today is really
wearing what in her mothers time was
a No. 6A.

The time was when the dominant party
was so securely in the lead that 1t had
no occasion to resort to bribery. The
purchasable element was a neglected
factor, and was permitted to vote as
it pleased.
Why should these conditions contin-
ne? Partisan expediency cannot be
pleaded in extenuation, for an educa-
tional qualification in our election law
would hurt neither party.
1t is safe to say that three fourths
of the legislative membership is hear
tily in favor of this reform, and the

May was unchanged to II az higher

changed to NC higher at s1.007s a

covering by shorts. Pit traders were
generally bearish, liberal receipts in
the northwest apparently being held to
outweigh the small advances in Liver
pool. Prices soon sagged off on re
newed selling and the market closed
steady, with May S1.162s. Final quo
tations on July were at S1.0OA. a re-
vival of interest was witnessed in the
corn market, trading being quite ac-

continent and furnish pie to every
man, woman and child In the United
States.
The story of the actual performance
of the pie machine is truly wonderful.
In fact two machines are necessary
In the first the crust is produced.
Instead of pie pans, molds like waf1e
irons are used to form the crust. u
the molds pass along on an endless
chain, they move lever at one emo
which permits the pie dough to enter
the pans, shaped something like waffle
irons, and they then pass between two
sets of burners which take the place OF
the oven. OF course before the dough
is released the irons are heated to the
proper temperature. The dough is con-
tained in a huge tank above the ma
chine, feed pipe running down, and
by means of a piston, just enough
dough is forced down to fill one of the
molds as it passes under the pipe
The strokes of the piston are so regu
lated as to be timed with the arrival
OF each pan under the pipe. As soon az
the crust is baked they are removed
by an attendant who stands at one end
OF the machine. These crusts are then
arranged on large pan which is taken
up by another attendant who places
the crusts in the second machine.
Filling by the Ton.
This is also of the endless chain type,
with two vast vats at one end, one of
which contains the lemon filling and
the other the meringue. By carefully
regulated ratchets the filling and the
meringue are fed alternately. The
pies then pass on to an overhead
burner which gives the top of the
meringue rich brown. The pie, thus
completed, is passed out from under
the baker and is ready for disposal by
the American pie eater.

finds it at once necessary to plan an
intrigue in order to prevent effacement.
