A BETTER ERA HAS BEGUN
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York. March -(special)-The stock markets these days reflects noth- ing expecting the restlessness of vola- tile speculative element. The more i'm portant interests are still lying back awaiting developments of serious import the outcome of the labor troubles In the anthracite and bituminous coal fields, line on the crops, a .sense' of the politi- cal situation and something definite on what Congress will do about railroad rates and trust restriction. The labor is- sue may be of speedier adjustment. but the other important matters are not likely to be settled for some weeks to come and until then the market will be more or less of a gamble. There are some who look on stocks AS always gamble, yet as a matter of fact the great sweeps in prices are lmpelled and con trolled by common sense rules the same as any other business. owing to the 'liquld" state of the stock market price fluctuations there reflect quicker than In other departments of business the changes in conditions. It is an accurate Darom- eter of the financial and trade situation and often times gives warning of coming prosperity or calamity long before the general public can see or understand. It thus comes to pass that declines and ad- vances in securities often have to the general public an appearance of mystery and other inconsistency Yet in retro spection it is always seen that there has been good reason for the big rise or the big fall in prices. Wall street nearly always mirrors broad national conditions. In the narrower sense fluctuations cover ing brief periods measured by days or weeks represent the movements of specu- lative forces and clique or pool manipula- tion As rule such artificial action Is helpless against the great tidal sweeps and can make no headway.

Big Interests Holding of.

For the reasons above mentioned the great banking and money interests are taking small part in the Wall street game. They come to the support of prices only when the bearish contingent becomes too eager and undertakes to raid the market below the danger point
 They are also in evidence when plmging speculators get impatient on the bull side and unwisely whoop things up in some speclalties and thereby attract undeslr
 able outside support. In the present con dition of the money market and on ac- count of uncertainties In other directions the conservatives are anxious to keep down speculative fever In almost every case this hod-back element Is bullish at the bottom, its investment and property holdings enlisting 1t permanently on the

stamp of approval although 1t has been attempted several times during the past winter. When the models for gowns of this description are sent over from the other side. American dressmakers change the style only by putting in a yoke or guimpe unlined, of lace or chiffon. The original design is, therefore, left quite un- changed and the general effect is prac- ticaly the same. These unlned yokes and guimpes are. besides, far more be- coming to the majority of women when hat is worn with the gown. for there is something hard and trying in the comgination of a low-cut waist and hat that. excepting in picture, makes the effect crude.

Working for Good.


 It is beginning to dawn on the public that the purification in4high finance and the stern uprising against the continu- ation of unfap business methods. on the part of trusts and railroads is working for the general good and that as net result honest values everywhere will be benefited instead of injured, and further more that the standard of business nor allty Is in process of being raised an other notch. The flood of exposures and scandals which for year or more ex- erted disquieting influence on the mar kets is followed by reaction of senti- ment due to a clearer apprehension or what the result will be. Cleaner methods are taking the place of former loose and grating methods and it is certain that corporate affairs are entering upon a period of honest administrations This is all to the good and must find reflection sooner or later in quoted values.

Gates as a Banker.

John w. Gates has made his formal entree into the New York banking com bnation. He has been elected a director in the National Bank of North America, one of the strong Wall street institu- tions. It Is not stated that MT. Gates Intends to engage extensively in that line of activity but it will not be sur prising if he did so, he is keenly alive to the advantages of enlarging his infiu- ence in the financial arena. It is quite the habit of multi-millionaires to buy heavily into banks after getting to New York. It gives them the best possible means of getting early and correct in- formation about the inside doings in the financial world and is found to be useful in many ways. To be able to keep ones hands on the pulse of the financial situ- ation Is strong card. In making an of ficia1 connection with a big New York banking house MT. Gates Is only follow ing the lead of such eminent invading talent as Norman B. Ream, Henry C.
 Prick, Judge William H. Moore, D. G. Reid. ogden Armour. P. A. Valentine, Charles M. Schwab' and James J. Hill.

Lace or Evening Gowns.


 There is something decidedly novel and unique in the way lace is now put on many of the evening gowns, flat across the top of the waist. in both the front and the back, and yet with sufficient fitness to look wider than the broad girdle or draped folds of the waist be- low. A tucker of fine net held in place with narrow ribbon or gatherings Is also a new touch. and one that is most becoming. for with it the gown can be cut much more decollete without being at all immodest On the sleeves there must be also the flat bands of lace either at the top or bottom of the sleeve or just through the center, whichever best carries out the style. The elbow sleeves often have ruffles added now.

SPRING FASHIONS.
From Harpers' Bazar.

FTOm faTDtfS BHHdT'
 As has been stated many times, the first step in planning for the spring ward robe is to choose the street costume. A smart, strictly tailor-made gown is now essential to the comfort of the modern woman and when expense does not have to be taken into account, one of these cos tunes is purchased every spring and fall Then comes the gown of lighter weight and this year again the Veilings reign su- preme; next the taffeta-sill1 gown with smart coat and wrap to match. In addi- tion to these are theatre and evening gowns, tennis gown, not to mention the carriage and evening wraps and such de- tails as parasols and hats.

Good Graft in Danger.

A new departure by the supreme court of the United States threatens to break up lucrative Washington and Wall street industry, namely the selling of ad- vance information of the decisions of that tribunal. Several times of late im- portant decisions have been announced orally by the supreme court with the statement that written opinions would be given out later. Under the former prac- tice of writing out decisions in. advance 1t was found impossible to guard their secrecy. and if a foreknowledge of what was coming was worth paying for ac- curate information was often times ob- tanable. Under the new order of things there will be no way for the scouts to get line on the decisions and they will have nothing to sell

This element is composed for the most part of ownership and managerial control of great railroad systems and mighty indus trials who are naturally the very best friends of the stocks in which they are interested and for which they are in sense responsible. When these people set their faces against speculative help it may be assumed there is good reason for their attitude.

Jerome DIstrusted.

Wall street is disposed to look with undisguised cynicism on the heroic ef- forts of MT. Jerome to purify high finance by haling George w. Perkins before the courts on charge of larceni- cal appropriation of insurance money for campaign purposes. The sneering ones are asking why If MT. Jerome is sincere, he did not get after Mir. Perkins for using the funds of his pet Nylic society in speculative venture. blending these funds with his own in the unfortunate purchase of steel common around forty at time when that stock was on its way. down to eight. Mir. Perkins naively gave history of this incident when he was on the witness stand some months ago. but 1t seems to have been lost sight of in the rush of more spectacular events.

whIrt,er,. r,oyn1s-.

To illustrate the fact that children
suffer intensely from causes which
their elders regard as trivial and which
they themselves are inclined to eaugh
at in later life Mr.. Whittier once told
this story of his boyhood to a friend:
1t was at an ancient hillside farmyard
near Haverhill. In ascending this hill
his father was in the habit Of relieving
his horse by walking, and Greenleaf
was expected to walk also. 1t was a
terrible trial to the boy, for gander
would begin his warlike threats as soon
as he saw him, and in later life Whit
tier declared he could have marched
up to hostile battery without such n
sinking of the heart as he felt when
ever he approached this harmless but
noisy fowl. If he dared to tell his
father of his agony of dread he could
have remained safely in the carriage,
but the fear of being laughed at pre-
vailed over every other consideration.
Mr.. Whittier thought this was the ex-
perience of many children and that
parents should treat their apparently
petty troubles with more seriousness
than is their custom
