more profit on them than on those
that cost $500, but no ambitious socie-
ty woman would think of appearing
say at an important dinner in $3.50
gown. 1t would injure her prestige"
Then he gave me some interesting
details in the making of a thousand
dollar gown. IL appears that sim
gle yard of the trimming used for
such gown may take five or six
skilful girls French or SWISS an en-
tire week in the making. The pat
tern, say leaves or flowers, must first
be embroidered in silk with the finest
stitches. Then it must be gone over
again in tiny transparent beads of
different colors, perhaps in rhine
stones, and finally the veins and stems
of the leaves must be added, one by.
one, in colored threads All this for
yard of trimming!
How often would the lady wear
such a gown" / asked. ..I
Three or four times"
"And then what becomes of it?"
He shrugged his shoulders. She
gives it away or sells it. There is /.
one very rich woman who has all
her old gowns burned. She can't
bear the idea that anyone else should
wear them"
This last Implied such spirit OF
wanton waste and selfishness that
pressed my informant for further de-
tails. Was he quite sure the rich lady
burned her discarded gowns? Well,
he had never seen them burned, but
he had always understood they were,
and he himself believed the story.

WASHINGTON STOCKS
DOING VERY NICELY
Only Ninety-three Shares
Sold With But Slight Con-
cesSionS on Some Stocks.

There was the usual attendance OF
brokers and spectators on the local ex-
change, but business was rather quiet,
with a confident, steady feeling. and no
disposition to force sales at the cX-
pense Of concessions in values
Some small lots of bank stocks were
IiJuidated and several small lots OF
Me~genthaler put on sale, nothing over
ten shares in anything with the single
exec ption OF one thirty-share lot OF
Merchants and Mechanics Savings
shares.
This odd-Iot business did not repre-
sent anything at all. except perhaps the
limit of the desire to realize-an Gx-
tremcly small and inConsequential limit
Washington brokers have but little III
terest other than the general desire for
betterment of conditions, in Wall Street
fluctuations. As for protecting mar
gined trades, New York operators have
long since cut such transactions from
their sheets, and today 1t takes cash
to buy stocks and cash to sell them.
The situation in Washington is one OF
supreme confidence That's all. II is
ali sufficient.
Total sales, Binety-three Shares Of

NEW YORK STOCKS

Hill Stocks Lower Indus
trials Firm-Copper
Leading the List.

NEW YORK, oct 26-NOon-The
situation in the stock market shows
much improvement, not 50 much III
price as in sentiment. The stock
brokers have taken the precauuOn to
check margin trading, and thereby re-
moved a dangerous clement from the
for the time being, Tor new
era of buying on margins on top OF the
present situation, stiu critical in the
extreme, would surely have been an
added incentive to higher money rates,
and made trouble for the commission
houses in taxing up stock.
One OF the features of the day was
a remarkable rise IN London, sharp
gains OF a point TO two and even three
points above our closing. Our En6hsh
friends realize that there are oppOr-
tunities on the bargain counter, and
moreover they are IN a position 10 take
them in, because there IS comparative
~ little strlngency there.
The London opening was calculated
10 give our market better tone when
the exchange opened and some sharp
advances were maintained for some
time after the opening, but. as the mar
ket must continue TO meet stock otrer-
ings on every rise, so 1t did today, and
then followed a reaction in which the
gains were nearly lost and some slight
additional decline sustained. Then there
came a rally. and after the bank state
ment was published, showing that the
bank had lost 81, ,OOO, 900 specie and were
s, ,25O, 600 under legal reserves, an easier
tone again developed and the final fig
ures were from one to two points below
the closing yesterday afternoon. Union

Central were SOFT spots in today's mar

most costly thing in the world. The

a total Of cost of $4,OO0.O00.

Pacific, Reading, and Smelling.
Brokerage houses required but SIC, ,0O0-
9b yesterday, where before yesterday
Il took $25.O0O.OO0.
Paying for every share traced in has
come TO mean a sure deprscfatiOu of
business on the New York Stock Ex-
change. Time to ring trades and make
use Of differences only.
Commission houses will not take or
oers on margin except at big cash ad-
VsnCes, something like - to 80 points
Practically a cash basis prevails.
On the other side the safe traders
are taking on Steel shares as best fitted
to worry along throughout the depres-
sion and soonest to rally with a good
change.
The Steel Corporation is able to show
$4,000 900 earned for the third quarter
az 1907. Good enough.
