NEW YORK. oct. 5-Noon-Today s
market was a fitting finale 10 an cratic
and unsatisfactory week in securities.
So limited was the movement That many
Of the leading financiers ignored Wall
Street and permitted things 10 take their
own course. While there have been
times when the market was weak and
again rallies there was lack OF tone
TO the whole situation That practically
precluded advances other than made
by the attempts Of the large short in
terest TO get under cover.
Money is the chief influence. The hQ-
uidation has been severe, but there
did not seem to be mucn stock press
ing TO a sale. and whenever the shorts
showed a disposition TO cover fractional
rallies were easily made.
The bark statement was as good as
was expected, as II was known that the
banks had lost in their operations with
the Government. but the increase OF
SIS. $4,000 in deposits and a reduction
OF l1,2S3. 900 In loans helped the silua-
ton very materially.

DIME SOCIAL MADE MERRY PARTY
A Bridal Luncheon.

This is the season when engage
ment announcements follow thick and
fast the natural result of the time that
always seems the most appropriate
for love-making-the glad spring time.
This sis the way one bride-elect gave
her attendants their wedding favors.
She asked them all to an informal
luncheon, and the centerpiece was a
low, round arrangement of sweet peas
with ribbons to each place.
At the finish when each girl pulled
her ribbon the sweetpeas separated
into Individual bouquets; to each was
attached a jewelers. box containing a
specially made bar pin set with three
square bits of malachite, the name and
date engraved on the back.
The same day as the luncheon the
groom-to-be entertained the men Of
the bridal party at his club and pre-
sented them with handmade scarf
pins set with malachite.

chimes of the big clock on the stairs;

where the fire burned riotously on

her, on the arms of chairs, on window

dress or hunting costume. Several
gold cups will be among the prizes.
To the champion hunter will be given
the 6 so challenge cup Of. gold, which
will be won outright.
The International cup for the best
single harness horse is worth e10O;
and so is the international cup for the
best pair, any age or height, while the
English Hackney Horse society will
give one for the second best. Some of
the special classes will be the exhibit
ton for cabs and turnouts, including
hansoms, four wheelers, coster ponies
and donkeys; for trade turnouts, and
for draft horses.
The horses that will battle for the
equine honor of the United States at
this worlds congress will include the
very best that can be found on this

steamer Minnstonla, and If anything
had happened the craft Of horsedesh,

would have been lost.
The string included four four-in-
hand teams, which are Mr.. Wander

into the ring turned out with his own
coaches, harness and appointments.
One of the park teams is made up
of the four dark bays, the Major and

team won at the National horse show

cent animals that will be exhibited
there from all parts of the world.
Americans have long been proud of
the distinctive type of horse being
developed in the United States, and
foreign judges who have been present
at our shows have expressed unlimited
admiration. But it never before hap
pened that here was an opportunity
for these animals to be actually put
against the best in other lands in
competition.
The unique show to be held at the
Olympia will give this long sought
chance.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
will head the list of nOtables who will
be present for the opening ceremonies.
Americans who have been doing the
continent are turning toward London,
and a great part of Uncle Sans
wealth and social distinction will
gather around the tan bark ring to
cheer American champion horses.
Nearly all of the prominent boxhold-
ers at the Newport, Madison Square

boxes.
The terms of the competition are
