NEW YORK, June 12.-The higher prices
for American securities in London this
morning are regarded as perfectly natural
and logical in view of the decline yesterday
on the seemingly unfounded apprehension Of
serious difficulties between tse United
States and Japan. Because Of the advfces
from Washington this morning with re-
spect to the plans OF the government to be-
gin further litigation against corporations.
1t was not expected that the recovery would
be extensive in our market.
-
trade only adds to the unfavorable impress
sion produced by the failure of Milllken
Bros, which was announced yesterday. 1t
ha5 been known tor some time that consid-
cradle extension of credit existed in the
building trade and that 1t has beer difficult
!or contractors to get necessary accommo-
cations from banks and other financial in
stltutlons, and that also demand for the
structures which have been erected within
tne last year or two was far from -ltiSfac-
tory In not few localities. Conservative
interests have maintained for some little
time that liquidation in real estate similar
10 that which has taken place in securities
must come about before conditions in the
building industry will be sound. Nothing of
a serious character in this line is appre-
hended, but 1t Is believed that those who
are most active in the building trade par
tlcularly in suburban sections, will realize,
as the managers of many corporations al
ready realize, that there must be curtail-
ment In order that the business undertaken
may be in proportion to the capital avail
able.

ed the form of this great conception,
as well as modern care and skill can
preserve it, but the glamour of the
whole possession of ths ancient handi-
craft, quite the most perfect in many
respects it has been my fortune to see,
is gone forever, and all through the
fouling of the air by modern methods
or the lack of them. For while science
can be applied effectively to the pre-

no known science can rescue stonework

mean to hold them to a pretty strict

TRIAL DITORCE. .

We have lately heard about trial
marriage, and the notion has been
generally condemned by the wise and
the good. Now trial divorce is de-
handing discussion A lady in Spo-
kane. Washington, has thrust it into
notice, She had had trial divorce on
her mind fer some time. One evening
she told her husband about it, To her
amazement and also delight, she found
that he had been thinking along the
same line. Then they made COMPARE
sen of notes. They agreed that this,
that or the other thing had made them
far from the ideal couple that they
should be. They agreed, too, that it
was a question whether the married
or the single state was better for
either. They were in perfect accord
also that the question could never be
answered until they returned to single
blessedness. Then they agreed to give
their conviction practical effect They
have separated just as completely as
il it were done under q court decree.
But unlike the court decree, it will be
for a limited or provisional period.
They have made it one year, with the
privilege Of more, If at the end of that
time they think the experiment has
not had a fair trial lat the end of the
provisional trial they viii come togeth-
er, report to each either their feelings
and convictions. grown out of the ex-
pertinent of separation. If they decide
to resume the marital relation they
win do so. If not they win seek di-
vorce in court of law.
Trial divorce is perhaps more rea-
sonable and meral than trial marriage.
Now if somebody will arise and sug-
gest trying to do right and stay mar
ried the situation will be pretty well
covarad.
