A $4,000 DRESS SUIT.
Worn by One of Our Rattleshlps and
Consists Of Flags.

Few realize the number Of flags car.
ried by a warship nor the cost Of all
the gay bunting which f1utters from
mast to mast at holiday time. In ad-
dition to feet communication, neces-
sary during maneuvers in home water,
says Army and Navy Life, the ship
must be equipped with an extensive
array Of flags on board for various
forms of ceremonial and official occa.
sions.
This dress suit outfit of bunting con-
sists Of $50 different flags the materi-
al and making of which cost just
$4,000. Each ship is,entitled to a new
flag equipment every three years,
though owing to their constant use
a flagship will often require a new set
Of signals in about a year.
A great deal more time and labor
is required to finish certain of these
flags than is generally supposed. The
presidents flag equires the longest
time of any to make, as it takes one
woman nearly a whole month to COM
plete it. The life-sized eagle with out
stretched wings and other emblems
are all hand-sewed and involve the
most patient work.
The most difficult to make are the
foreign flags. This is especially true
Of the South and Central American
ones.
A half dozen specially skilled hand
device sewers are continually kept on
these flags. Every battleship carries
43 foreign flags, Is feet by 13 wide.
The most expensive ensign to make is
the German, which, owing to the deli
cate scrollwork Of the large imperial
eagle and royal crown necessitating
delicate, slow and careful sewing,
costs $3.50.
The dragon flag of China consists Of
200 separate pieces. Twelve to IA
days are ordinarily consumed in fin
ishing this flag, which costs $51.75.
The flag of Siam with the huge
white elephant costs 1913. The Mexi-
can with it's center design Of a large
eagle holding a serpent on it's bill,
costs $3.50 The cheapest foreign flag
made is the Moorish, which costs $21.

there Is a waiting demadn of this char acter which would become active on any significant demonstration that the long decline In prices has ended. Some disap- pointment was professed by operators in Reading over the action of the directors in the Central railway of New Jersey in declaring the regularly quarterly dividend on that stock. This was accepted appar ently as definite refutation of assertions that a rise in Reading dividend this week was in contemplation. A more probable index of the character of recent oper- ations in Reading was the rumor set afioat of buying in Union Pacific interests ocean system. This rumor seemed to grandose to fit the extremely modest di- mensions of today's market and had much to do with awakening suspicion and prom ising selling to realize. Reading and Union Pacific so far overshawode the whole market In activity that their re- action carried prices as a whole down. ward. Cheerful reports from the crop regions and the favorable weekly bulletin of the weather bureau did not avail to arrest the reaction tendency. The plan to distribute 200 per cent In collateral bonds to stockholders of the Adams Express company caused a 10-pont rise in that stock but was without influence on hte general list. Small declines resulted gen. erally in the days business. Total bond sales, par value, $S64000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 held in Cleveland. when the organizations

 whole town was turned over to- the laugh
 makers, and now comes tI.e~fifth bigger
 than ever, with q grand climax in the way of a complete fund of about 5000 with which a monument will be erected
 to the memory of the late Edgar Wilson Nye. who was born in Maine, died in Asheville, N. C., and left the mark of his fun everywhere. It is proposed to erect the monument at Laramie, Wyo. because Nye once passed through there
 on a slow freight and no one else has been there since; but there some in the association who want it in Wash-
