HEARD ON CHANGE

u ne past week on chan&e mas been an
exceedingly interesting one, considering the
time of the year. There was fair attend
ance at nearly every session and the trad
Ing had q wholesome flavor from the start.
Nearly all the local securities some Of
which are inclined to sag at this period
We're stable, and fair trading was recorded.
The midsummer interest in collateral se-
curities promises well for the fall business.
Brokers and bankers doing business at the
capital are about evenly divided as to the
prospects for tight money In the early fall.
The bankers declare that money will be
deerer this fall than in years. The brokers
on the other hand say they do not take any
stock in this statement for the reason
that the whole country is in the zenith OF
al unprecedented era OF prosperity.

greater than in this season Russia, Japan
and other foreign countries are looking to
america for supplies OF cereals. The land

Large sums of money will be required
money than was required last year Some
local hnanciers say that there Is an album
dance of the needful In sight for the purpose
and that the anticipation of extraordinary
rates of interest Is purely problematical
and the Idle venturing Of alarmists-
This pertinent statement OF opinion. how
ever, Is absolutely denied by at least two
OF the most conservative bankers in Wash
ington. who persist in the opinion that the
present monetary situation is an ominous
one.
The movements of Washington Railway
and Electric Securities will be watched
with the greatest interest the present
week-from the jump. 1t Is conceded that
the future Of this road is rich in promise,
and there is but little doubt that the price
OF the IS would have gone up higher had
not the brokers known that 1t Is useless to
cause a further advance in the bonds of
corporation when they are not In sight. A
great deal OF stock has been carried on
margin and active trading Is looked for
shortly in both the common and preferred.
Those in the know" say that the future
of this property when the present uncer-
tainty about its head shall be swept away
is not easily overestimated. That the COM
pany will shortly have a new head is an
accepted theory, at least.
The bulk of the dealing was In the bonds
OF this company. and the holders of the
securities could have sold out at a neat
little profit had they SO desired. The last
sale of the bonds made Friday was at
869s. just one point and quarter over
the price July II. when some of the local
traders began to turn their attention to the
bonds The nibbling at the common and
preferred stock is suggestive OF some active
dealing in the near future.
Several of the members on change are
anxious to see absolute local control and
local management O the road, and they
think its future prosperity depends largely

The sustained rates for time loans carry
ing over the end Of the year have reflected
the belief In the coming needs of the
money market when the crops begin to
move. II Is argued that abundant caution
has to do with these sustained rates by
Withholding loans for the longer periods,
thus insuring greater resources than are
indicated by she present rates.
The facilities for increase of bank note
issues from the new Panama canal bonds

The death OF Russell Sage created not the
slightest ripple Of excitement in the stock
market. Neither did it give rise to express
stons Of personal grief, for although the
great money lender spent nearly fifty years
of his active life In Wall street, he formed
no personal attachments. Throughout his
long career he was regarded in the bust
ness world where he was best known and
In which he moved as little more than a
money making automaton, having prac-
tically nothing in common with his fellow
beings and governed wholly by an over
mastering passion for the accumulation of
dollars. 1t would be difficult to find a man
who has arrived to great prominence in the
financial world less loved than Russell
Sage. Yet In this way he enjoyed life, for,
according to the light by which he guided
his steps he was successful

HATLEss WINTER GIRLS.
New Species Of Feminine That II
Much in Evidence in Some
Sections.

After experiencing for several years
Q series Of shocks and surprises occa-
stoned by the sight Of the hatless sum-
mer girls defying the glare of almost
tropical suns at seashore and noun
tain resorts. We are now treated to
views Of multitudinous hatless winter
girls. says the Philadelphia Record.
Philadelphia seems particularly ia
vorable climatically toward this new
species Of winter girl. One has only to
take q trolley ride through some of
the suburbs OF West Philadelphia to
see these girls without hats. to recog-
nize the popularity Of this new fad.
At the seminaries and at Bryn Mawr
college, this idea has number Of par
ticularly ardent devotees. They walk
around the grounds wrapped in furs
about the neck and shoulders which
would furnish comfort in Greenland |;
they wear long, tailor-made coats and
sometimes wear leggings and spats,
but never hats. Groups Of girls, and
women, too, go to the stations, and
calling in the neighborhood, and to
their afternoon bridge whist parties
in the same way. A few venture out
in the evening and ride to the theater
and opera ON trolley cars without any
head covering. The millinery world,
It is said, Is getting nervous over the
extent Of the movement.

Accidents from fatigue.

1t was shown by an exhaustive In
quiry of the subject in France that
the number of accidents increases
progressively hour by hour during the
first half day; that after the rest at
midday the number of accidents is
notably less than in the last hour OF
the forenoon; that In the course of
the second half day accidents again
become from hour to hour progressive
ly more numerous, and that the maxi
mum number Of accidents toward the
end of the second half day is notably
higher than the corresponding maxi
mum in the morning. The influence
of the workingmen's fatigue on the
production of accidents stands out
clearly from these observations, and 1t
is easy to understand how this comes
about when 1t Is remembered that
with fatigue the attention readily di.
minishes and disappears.

Everyone who pretends to know all

precious young ones il they don't look

This new carriage, states the New
York Sun, resembles an English peram-
bulator just enough to satisfy q moth

flict discomfort on tho baby. It has
small wheels, . very small wooden body
with q footboard which lifts up and

baby's inevitable growth, and leather
hood with peek hole In the top.

Girls Of To-Day Not Yet Out Of Their

the hero OF q recent novel OF its fool

formerly, when a woman's occupa-

largely determined BY her father, lover
or husband. she could not pull her own
destiny and that of others down about
her ears by her indecision.
To-day a girl Is not out of her teens
before she is called upon to decide mo-
mentous questions. Shall she 60 to
college? Shall she become q wage
Garner, or shall she content herself
with the limitations Of her home?
Shall she marry? Shall she give her
deepest interest to club or church OF
home?
In short, the whole duty OF women
resembles the work Of the Yankee
farmer, who was sorting his years
