Akin to Public Ownersbip.

From the Springfield Republican
We do not imagine. however, that the

and perhaps the administration itself has
failed to consider its far-reaching conse-

which admit the play Of the regulative

and sugar trades. The idea is, Of course.
TO give only temporary applications of

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Three features OF special interest de-
veloped on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterdays sharp rise in WASH
ington Gas. an equally phenomenal bid
ding-up Of Capital Traction, and a big
days business in Mergenthaler
The public utility bonds sold more
freely than for several days, but the trad
ing was confined to Capital Traction 50
and Washin yton Railway Is.
When Capital Fraction stock was reach
ed on regular call a great surprise was
rung in by one OF the older brokers bid
ding the stock by rapid jumps from 126 10
TO 12S II. where us shares We're IN
loaded upon him. He stuck to the bid,
and after call the issue was taken up
again, and 100 shares more were added
TO the days business. This was an I'M
usual display Of strength for Capital
Traction, though at the selling price Of
yesterday the stock is regarded by brok-
ers as low.
Trading in Mergenthaler was all placed
on record at 206 though higher offers
stock.
Much noise ensued when the call
reached Washington Gas, but in the alb
sence Of stock for sale the bidding-up Of
the price to "a and the sale of Is shares
at "A Is brought out few trades. In all,
only 70 shares changed hands The young
brokers were evidently surprised at the
turn affairs took when the stock ap-
preached the high point Of yesterday,
They were under the impression that be-
tween 7S and 70 any amount of the stock
would be forthcoming. In this they were
disappointed, and it was whispered about
yesterday that the big stockholders are
gathering in the stock to work some
scheme of vengeance upon the gas pool"

Opinions ON the New York Market.

Opinions ON the New York Market.
Herbert L. Jones, Of A. 0. Brown & Co.
THE easiness in call money would indi-
cate that the strain on the banks is
practically over, and still lower rates are
looked for next week. II is said the bank
statement will make an unfavorable
showing. as the known movements Of
money indicate a net loss in cash OF
about 100000 The effect on the re-
serve will probably be much modified by
decreases In loans and deposits, and the
situation should materially improve next
week. A rather dull and inactive market
seems probable.

Benjamin Woodruff, of Post & Flag
1.-The market showed a better. tone than
yesterday. encouraged by the fact that
comparatively little liquidation developed
on the decline of the past few days, and
that most OF the stocks coming out rep
resented short sales. The opening rate
for money on the exchange was IL per
cent which is better than was antici-
pated, In view of recent rates and the
low bank reserves, and is consequently
favorable 10 better prices. To-day being
Friday. and loans carrying over until
Monday the lower interest rate also
foreshadOwed a better bank statement to-
morrow than the returns would indicate.
II Is believed the Interstate Commerce
Commissions report on the Hartman
case aill be given out Sunday morning,
but IL Is supposed that 1t viii merely
contain a presentation Of the facts de-
Valoped. and that recommendations as 70
possible action Hereunder will be left to
the Attorney General. Owing 10 the va
cation season, It Is not expected that his
conclusions vii be reached before au-
tumn. Judging by the inactivity to-day.

G. Bowie Chapman. Of E. r. Chapman
& Gothic trading was entirely pro-
fessional to-day. and the advocates Of
lower prices were wanting in aggressive
ness and those bullishly inclined We're

Z. W. Crew, OF Henry Clews & Co.
1T transpircs that much of the selling
for foreign account recently was due to
the impression that this country's rela-
lions with Japan were becoming strained
The cheerful utterances Of Ambassador
Aoh and Admiral Yamamoto regarding
the situation have impaired more conf
dence abroad and caused the placing Of
some buying orders for American stocks.
There is little change in the home situa-
ton. Time money for decent maturities
is out Of the market. and Federal activity
against the trust combinations is supple
mented by just as vigorous action on the
part Of the attorney general OF New York
State against local concerns. In addition
to the buying for foreign account there
has been little covering by local shorts,
but the transactions so far are insignih-
cant As for putting the market on a
higher basis and holding 1t there it
/ seems out of the question until the money
situation improves"

MASQUERADE AND DANCE.

Delightful Affair given by North End
 Hose company of West Haven.
 The annual masquerade and dance of the North End Hose company No. 3, of West Haven, which was held in the town hall last night, was very delightful affair About 300 were pres ent. Chief Cameron and Assistant Chief Scranton led the grand march. There were firemen from all over the state present at the dance, The cos tunes of the masqueraders were de- cidedly picturesque. About 2:3O o'clock the grand annual event ended.
 The following committee served con- siderably in making the event a most delightful one; Captain James J. Me Dermott, grand conductor; H. o, Verne, floor manager.

Over thIs is a small bolero packet, it's edges bound with a fold of crepe the sides elongated towards the centre back to two long tabs with triangular shaped pieces of crepe to finish the ends, The sleeves were long; at least, the plaited puffs were brought into deep cuffs of cloth, turned back at their lower edges with crepe facings. The chief idea in mourning, as in other costumes at present, seems to be to load with as much decoration as possi- ble and still preserve an air of extreme, even severest, simplcity-a difficult thing even for the smartest modiste.
 One of the unique innovations creat- ed by the French is the all-crepe cos- tune or the one in which crepe forms the foundation material. It Is usually trimmed with cloth bands or founces and embroidery of one sort or another to relieve it. In model of this order seen recently there was skirt of rich
 heavy crepe cut in seven gores, with three bands of broadcloth at intervals around it, each one put on with pip ing of silk. The bodice, also of crepe, was perfectly plain and tight-f1tting, cut in at the lower front in an inverted U. shape to show the deep plaited crepe girdle, and in tiny point at the neck, where 1t was filled in with dotted black chiffon. Two folds of cloth curved from the shoulders over the bodice to simulate a bolero, and two others covered the shape of the arm side, the four meeting at the shoulders, under a chou of crepe. -...,
 In the way of decoration for mourn ing raiment much greater scope is al- lowed perhaps that ever before, for there is a tendency toward most ela- borate and rich-looking embroideries, beatutiful passementeries of dull jet, ribbon brocaded in crepe figure and l flower designs, gauges with crepe or dull silk disks scattered over them, and no end of heavy black nets and laces. any and all of which are combined with l crepe and cloth in the most fetching 1 manner. in spite of their depressing tones. These trimmings, although they are all in black, somehow seem to give | a bit of life to the costume, and the in- novation is most pleasing one.
 On one of the most recent importa- tions of models for an exclusive shop there is a princesse afternoon gown which is trimmed with what is known as crepe embroidery. To begin with, , the entire costume is perfectly plain 1 and tight fitting, as a princesse should be-as though the figure were moulded into it. The front is cut away it's en- tire length from the little square Dutch neck of the bodice to the hem of the sweeping skirt, and a narrow, widening panel of this crepe embroidery which which is most effective decoration in itself with its design wrought out like the old French silk embroidery, in crepe set in. At the back the same lines were followed, the panel reaching to a point just below the bust and the centre back where it meets the yoke

TWENTIETH ANNUAL BALL
GRAND AFFAIR GIVEN BY FIRST
 DIVISION, 4. O. H.

Music Hall Properly Decorated-FOur
 Hundred Couples Take Part in Grand March-Dlvision Never So Prosperous
 as Now-Has Over 1,5OO 1Iembers-
 Ladies Auxiliary Are Guests.
 Music hall was never so beautifully decorated as last night, when the twen- tieth annual ball of the first division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians was held there. Blue and white were profusely used to festoon the ceiling and walls of the large hall, and from the gallery were hung large United States flags, and the green flag of Erin, The decorative work was by the New Haven Decorating company. So large was the attendance that the capacity of the hall was taxed to the utmost Fully 400 couples took places in tn egrand march, which was led by l John Bergin and his sister Miss Ber- 1 gin. The second couple in line were Peter Quinn and his partner, Mrs. Jen- nie Wrinn of Naugatuck Following were Daniel Allen and Miss Mamie AL len. The music for the dance pro- 1 gramme of twenty numbers was fur nished by the A. o. H. band, Peter S, ! Dunham conductor, and Professor | Meaney prompter.
 The First division of A. 0. H. was never so prosperous as now. It has 1,500 members, and under the efficient leadership of its grand conductor Ed ward J. sheehan, assisted by the as- vine, and worthy board of officers. promises to go on to still higher achievements The division is planning for a big banquet, which will be held on St. Patrick's day, and will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the divi- l sion.
 Among the invited guests last night were Ladies auxiliary, No. 12. This is a large auxiliary, having over 500 mem bers. Its president is Mrs. J. J. Car roll.

of white crepe, and by the way, white crepe is just now very much in vogue, even for deepest mourning although not too much of it may be used at a time. merely a V or a bit of piping a fold, or facing, but it Is enough to re- lieve the strain of the deadly blackness which, in itself, is a perpetual reminder of ones grief.
 The sleeves in which costumes were exceedingly interesting as showing several of the newest points. For foundation there were straight and not too full puffs, with the gathers at the top and bottom about equally divided, so that the folds fell in stright lines, as was the fashion four or five years ago, These pufrs reached to the elbow. where they were brought into three inch cuffs of the cloth, and where they joined the cuffs they were given two coils of crepe, with band of the em- broidery below At the top of a straight piece of the goods, with its outer edge with crepe, was served in around the armhole and dawn up and shirred at the shoulder. A narrow band of embroidery, supplemented by another of crepe, concealed the joining of the cape to the sleeve, and formed at the same time an attractive bit of de- coration. On each shoulder where the bands met, there was an oval buckle of dull jet, and very small jet buckles, each with a loop and end of folded crepe run through it, were set at inter- vals down either side of the front and back panels,
 Tn the same consignment with this was another costume designed for the street wear which also brings out some of the most interesting of Dame Fash ions latest whims and her desire to re- vive old ideas. The skirt was i've gored model in cloth, fitting like most of the new models, closely about the hips. At the left front the seam was left open, one side being cut with five rounded points, each a trihe longer than the other side straight, and a panel of crepe cut on the bias inserted over which the points were stretched 1 and fastened each to the straight edge of the skirt with handsome round button of stucco jet. The bodice was equally simple: A Jumper" waist, with the same panel effect carried out at the left side in such a manner that it appeared to be a continuation of the one on the skirt, the points so spaced that the top one stretched out across the shoulder seam. There was a deep rounded yoke of alternating bands of crepe and chiffon laid crosswise, sur ' rounded by bias fold of crepe, while the sleeves were soft puffs, elbow length, with two points crossing each other on top of narrow crepe band, 1 which formed the cuff, and decorated with one of the jet buttons.
 A very smart little hat accompanied this costume. The brim of medium ' width, straight and flat, was surmount- ed by 8 crown of soft silk. At the left : an uncurled plume curves over the

 MANY NEW
And Striking Notes--Crepe and Broad
 Cloth Favorite Combination.

And Striking Notes-Crepe and BrOad-
 Cloth a Favcrite Combination.
 While the present modes generally require that all the lines in points about a costume shall be quite correct, it is absolutely essential that mourn ing toilette. always conspicuous by it's sombreness should show perfection in it's minutest detail.
 Nothing is quite so distinctive and individual as mourning garb and in no other costume is a false note which robs its charm and dignity more easily struck. Black is far from being uni- versally becoming, but since occasion demands it's use at times, there are many ways and means known to the clever modiste of making it at least not unbecoming, if not flattering.
 There appears to be trend in the di- rection of heavier and more elaborate mourning than has been demanded in some years, and especially is this re- marked in the recent French importa- tions which reveal some clever if rather startling combinations of ma terials. For very deep mourning crepe is being used extensively, and in a manner quite different from what we have known, and there are at least two or three new weaves of crepe of which entire costumes are made, or which at least form foundation for trimmings of cloth. With lustreless broadcloth in &s varying weights in the lead. all of the dull-finish cloths are allowable, henrietta, voile, cashmere for street, and the beautiful crepe de chimes, mayryott silks and veilings for dressier wear. Voil moire is a sew fabric announced for spring, whose dead finish renders it particularly adaptable for mourning, and there is another weave of much the texture of chiffon broadcloth, dotted all over its surface with crepe disks, which is wonderfully effective, but will undoubt- edly be more generally used for trim ming purposes than for whole gowns IA smart street suit made for a very young woman who was recently throwr into deep mourning shows many of the newest wrinkles in its creation. The foundation was cloth, and the skirt was cut with a princesse girdle effect, fit. ting like a glove over the hips, but ex, aggeratedly wide and fiaring around the bottom, which barely escaped the focx and trimmed with two three inch folds of heavy crepe, eacn headed by two very narrow folds. Toppins this skirt was a surpliced waist of veil ing folds of the same order stretched diagonally across it, bordering the sur plice, which opened over a deep, point ed chemisette of tucked black chiffon
