Most Of the stocks were slightly low
G.. The greater losses were in Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, DisUllers,

were partially recovered The short
selling in these stocks evidently caught
some stop orders. Profit taking was
also somewhat notable.
The opening was lower, followed by
some little TeCOVeUies. then a mid
morning weakness and a steady rally
In the last half hour of the morning
that brought prices on many stocks
up to the -clOsings of yesterday.
Al one time Copper was nearly a

serious declines. Copper. the Steels. and
Smelter holding with more tenacity than
the general list OF rails The most Sc
riOus declines were in Great Northern.

The loss In Great Northern was nearly
four points, with three points average

NEW YORK. Dec 10-3 p. m.-The
weakness OF the early afternoon con-
dnued and the closing was about the
bOftest for q week. The decline in
Reading reached three points, in North

Copper lost point Delaware & Hud-
son points, Baltimore q Ohio Is and
Canadian Pacific Ia.
The Steels held better than the rest
Of the list.
NEW YORK, Dec. IO-Noon.-One Of
the most patent facts in connection with
the stock market is the ease with which
IL rallies and the resistance IL offers
10 declines. II doesn't require much
effort on the part Of the bulls 10 mark
prices up, and the pressure TO bring
ABOUT the same amount Of losses has
20 be reasonably hard. The advancing
tendency has been checked by the
pressure on industrial shares and the
Iact that New York banks and bank
erS are again discriminating against
industrial securities as collateral for
loans. Observers OF the market have
noticed. or believe that they have.
considerable covering OF short stocks
during the last few days and every
reduction Of this interest removes a lit
tie of the bouyancy OF the market.
Some OF the bears have dropped stocks
in which they have been operating. Sc
lecting for their new specialties some
of the high-gTade shares that have
led the list in the up-turn-Great North
ern and Northern Pacific. They have
not been very successful and once the
pressure Is even temporarily removed
the list moves up and the speclalties
60 along with II.
At no time during the morning was
the market weak-tt was more suilen,
refusing 10 decline with rush, and
ready to take advantage Of every op-
pcrtunity to get back its lost fractions.
II is stated that compulsory hQuida-
ton has been responsible for the weak
ness in Distillers' shares. The cur
rency premium and clearing house GER
tihcates are powders In the way Of the
upturn. This morning Distillers dropped
another four points and for few min
utes this influence had some effect
Then il rallied two points.
Europe showed a little more interest
in American bonds yesterday, but the
failures In Germany and financial stress
in some other sections mitigated against
the bull element.

dots. The dots may also be cut from velvet anu
pasted on.
For woman who delights in handwork the
ample width of the box plaits would enable hsr
to embroider running vine or a spray OF flowers,
This would be stunning either IN eyelet or pSdoeo
work.
The coat design may ba fashioned either OF
plain or figured materials. The Gibson plait no
tioeable ON the shoulder is also seen on many
gowns and separate shirt waists. A wood brown
taffeta with brown or black velvet collar and Gun
would be very attractive on garment that would
see service throughout the spring and summer
months.
Plaid silks of two or more colors will be es-
pecially smart both FOR gowns and coats trimmed
with plain bands of silk
The little boys Russian suit may be developed
in light weight spring suitinSs, plain cloths or
in summer materials, as pique, linen and madras.
A striking novelty in such garments for little
boys was made Of bonny Scotch plaids in linen
and silk ginghams. Raw silk .weaves are also
employed for garments, besides sailor suits and
long coats.
Stripes are popular for chilAren's garments and
spring goods show them In all materials Some
charming novelty goods are reversible, especially
those unpronounoed In color

well as lighter weight worsteds. Velveteen comes

height is also feature of modish import.
little fullness is added to the sides of the gown
and the skirt is laid in plaits. The trimming
consists of ecru lace run through with black vel
vet ribbon Two little rosettes are placed at
each side of the 'front.' and two close together
are in back where sham opening is made, and
a row of black velvet buttons extends from the
collar to the hem of the gown.
On other princess frocks series of tucks start
ing at the bust line and ending several inches
below the waist accentuate the princess lines. A
belt is sometimes worn around the sides from the
back, fitting the garment more closely to the
figure.
Made up in any summer goods, with plain
bands, or of braid trimming, this model would
be equally attractive.
MODEL IN SILK OR COTTON CORDUROY.
On the opposite side of the page another be-
coming little froek Is shown developed after the
most approved ideas Here the material may be
of silk or cotton corduroy or cloth for present
wear, trimmed with bands Of old rose tafsta.

which adds apprsciably to the width across tho

shoulders; the acings also of the tafeta, cuff
and belt The chemisette is Of cream or ecru
lace; either is more preferable than white.
This little frock could be easily made the
new princess lines by making the dress all in one
and by running very narrow tucks through the
centre as previously described. In that case the
lacing would necessarily have to be eliminated.
In plain linen, with contrasting bands of color,
plaid gingham, serge, voile or silk, this model
is equally good Embroidery may be substituted
in place of the band effects. For morning wear
simple little percale frock, with or without
bands, would be attractive and cool.
The next model carries with it tailored air
which rests so well on some children.
Here three graduated box plaits occupy the
front, while one plait is employed on each side
of the back, extending from the shoulders slant
wise to the waist The skirt is laid In side plaits
with wide box plat in the centre. The large
dots are hand-embroidered In silk or mercerizod
cotton, according to the nature of the material
Several frocks have been made over the same
model
One in dark blue cashmere with two shades of
blue silk dots; another in white serge with scarlet
