CHALLENGE FOR AMER1cA's CUP

There seems to be no longer a doubt
that Sir Thomas Upton will challenge
agilin for the Americas Cup. All he asks
are few concessions, which the commit
lee viii undoubtedly grant. for the reason
that in the last analysis, no matter whst
the arrangement, the boats will sail on
eqnal terms.
American sentiment concerning this
cup has undergone reversal of form.
Time was When we would liave thought
il Il calamity to have any foreigner take
il away time is when if we must part
from il we all hope that Sir Thomas will
be the winner. OF course no true-blue
citizen of lie United States wishes to see
MS /, Sc. When the races are sailed our
sympathy will be altogether with our
owl, people, but the Irish Knight has
shown Himself to be SO true sportsman
that, although our pride may suffer some
in the event Of his reaching the goal Of
his ambition, We viii have the satisfae-
iion of knowing that the trophy could
not be iii better hands.
As for change in the rules, none OF
us would object seriously il they We're
modified radically These contests are
after all a test Of the relative merits of
American aud British seamanship, and
ii will be conceded that the man who
sails mere racing machine better than
another has not given the truest test.
N that Captain Barr might not have
done ii not that lie might not do it un-
der other rules. We believe he or some
other skipper on this side will do SO, and
we would rather see our tars defeat Sir
Thomas than any other man, Just as we
would rather see Sir Thomas take the
prize If it must be taken BY one Of bis
countrymel.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

1t is economy for the housewife TO RI,
fuse to order her market supplies hs
phone (Which seems TO be the prevailing
faslrion). The wise matron will ari-e
early aud git the choicest things from
III RET, beautifully fresh. 1t is not econ-
ony to purchase fruits or vegetables out
Of season, since anything OF forced growth
cannot give the sustenance we require.
1t is economy not to leave the soap in
a basin of water after washing, also to
put little scraps in bag to be used lnr
the bath or disll-washing, according to
the quality of the soap.
To admit all the sunshine aud fresh air
possible is economy, for it will bring
health and save many doctors bills, even
il it does fade the rugs.
An embroidery frame for mending will
be found great help in many instances.
Underwear, if put over the frame, will BE-
easier to mend. Tile three,cornered tear
in skirt will be more easily repaired il
the frame is used. Be sure to press the
mended place well on the wrong side Of
the goods.
After the typewriter ribbon has lived
out its day and must give place to a new
one, it may still be made TO serve in an
other capacity, ii given the opportunity.
A pint fruit can full OF water will serve as
The opportunity, and one purple type
writer ribbon put to soak in that amount
of water will give pint Of purple ink OF
as excellent a quality as can be purchas. d
al the stores for any price.
In one drawer Of every sewing machine
there sh juld he bolt of inch wide white
tape. Nothing is better lJi mcn!i4 OF
kuil or heavy underwear or tile negngee
shirts SO commonly worn by men. These
shirts break first about the neckband, and
bit Of tape laid underneath and stitched
to the baud both mends aud strengthens.
1t is done easily, speedily, and without
either darnlng or having bulky seams.
To prevent the niarring of mantels,
furniture and window sills by flower vases
or pots, place beneath them little squares
of oiled pasteboard cut from cracker or
cake boxes now SO common on the mar
ket. A supply of these squares can be
cut in few moments, and, If kept in u
handy place, their use will soon become
a habit, saving furniture and woodwork
from many unsIglIlly rings.
In wearing rubber gloves always pull
off wrong side out, and shake taicum
po der into them. Leave until ready to
use again. A pair of rubber gloves
treated in this way will last double the
length Of time they would otherwise.
When the nickle on your steel range
becomes dull aud dscolored, take cloth
saturated with carbon oil and the spots
will disappear as if by magic.
II yon spill ink on the carpet do not
try to wipe it up with a rag. If you do
you will surely spoil your carpet. Do
not touch the ink, but as quickly as pos
sible get some salt, and cover the spot
lhickly With it. The salt will absorb
the ink and you cannot tell where you
have spilled it. Be sure and leave the
salt on ior twenty-four hours, or until it
is thoroughly dry. If you scrape it off
before it is thoroughly dry, it will do no
good. Be sure it is dry then sweep up
the salt in dusipan and you cannot see
where the ink was spilled.

New York, Sept S.-As repeatedly
pointed out in these advces, the mon

likely to so remain for some time to
come. This week has Witnessed ex

end is not yet in sight. We are just
entering upon a period Of unusual
trade activity, while the country :
crops are large and will make a
greater demand upon the banks than
usual during the marketing season
Nevertheless, we enter the crop NOV

only $2,SO0,000. which is very much
below the usual level at this date
The showing would be much worse

was only maintained by an artificial
contraction of over $7000.0OO in loans
and an increase of our borrowings in

conditions, our market leaders seem
bent on forcing an active bull cam.

that is astonishing when judged by
ordinary standards What is the ba.

meaning of such boidness in move

The first question is readily answer

also. that other corporate properties
which have been laggards in the mat

to join the dividend procession and
give their stockholders some share in
the country's prosperity. These in
creases in dividends afford a more
stable basis than previously for high

and rates for time money. The mean

Randolph's Closing Stock letter.
The bank statement today which up
to the time of its publication furnished
the chief topic of discussion in Wall
street, reflected the worst that had
been apprehended in regard to that
document. The stock market how
ever did not appear TO take this ex-
ceedingly poor bank statement very
seriously. The opening quotations to-
day presented a somewhat irregular
appearance with fluctuations in either
direction comparatively small in
amount Before the end of the first
hour the market developed quiet
strength. Previous to the publication
of the bank statement the market
was called upon to absorb consider
able realizing sales as well as those
made by professional operators for
the short account and at that time,
the lowest prices of the day were
reached representing an average de-
cline Oh about a point in the active
issues from the early high level I'm
mediately following the publication Of
the bank statement the rally which
was then in progress was temporarily
checked and the market again receded
fractionally. Trading was of rath.
er nervous character. The highest
prices of the day were recorded within
the last fifteen minutes of the ses.
sion.

Letter: Opening prices averaged
about the same as at the close last
night. In the first hour. gradual but

though the market was very quiet,

day The hesitation on the part of
traders was due largely to uncertain

ment, a temporary recession being
feared in case the surplus reserve
should appeart be exhausted. How
as it is fully realized that the market
is absolutely controlled by the most
powerful interests who are the own
ers of the great bulk of securities,
and clearly disposed to retain their
holdings until prices reach much high
er levels The bank statement was
worse than had been expected and
brought out some scattered selling but
did not dislodge any stock of import
ance. There seems no doubt that the
position of the banks will be entirely
disregarded by Monday when an
nouncements are made of gold en-
gegements, which may reach an ag-
gregate Of $l5.OOO,000 and il is prob
able that the increased demand for
