One of the incest ways of keeping
dresses-especially evening ones-fresh
is to sew throughout the lining tiny
perfumed silk sachets. Any odd bit of
silk does for this purpose. Make the sa-
Chef about one inch square. Put in a
layer of soft white wadding. into which
has been sprinkled some sachet pow
der. Sew up and tack firmly to vari-
Gus places in skirt and bodice. This
gives the delicate elusive fragrance to
your frock which is rather hard to at
tain when liquid perfume is used. 1t
also has additional benefit of keeping
away destructive moths when the gar
ment is laid aside for time

MARKEr DULL.
But Downward Movement of Prices
 WnS Checked.


 New York, Nov. 13.-The downward movement of prices after running somewhat further in the early part of the session, was checked to-day. It will be remembered that the upward movement, after running over into yesterdays early market from the day before. received similar check fol- lowed by reaction. The rebound to- day was narrower than the downward reaction yesterday and the market be- came dull and uncertain ia the later stages. This narrowing of the swing of the price movement is usually the sign of it's approach to a condition of more or less stable eqilibrium, in which it drifts with feeble fluctations until getting a new initiative from some fresh development of the situation. Sch a period of quietude would be welcomed at present by all the most important interests concerned In the market. A tentative resumption of buying operations on margin on Mon- day was deemed to be badly timed by the banking and financial leaders and the Encouragement Of those operations left the way open to yesterdays reac- ton. There was evidence yesterday and early to-day, on the other hand, that the professional operators were disposed to take advantage of the ne- glected condition of the market to un- dertage bear tactics, Means seem to have been found, also to place ob- stacles in the way of these attempts, which have proved effectual. The pur- pose of these various measures evil dently is to keep the stock market quiet and free from excitement and feverlshness while the task of mending the outside financial position is pur- sued.
 Attention almost entirely centers on the currency situation, and until relief begins to show in that respect no very definite opinion is likely to be formed of the limits within which the harm may be restricted which is flowing from these causes. The urgency of the demands for currency continued acute to-day, largely from out of town sources. The bidding of premiums for gold still to arrive indicates that con- ditions are expected to continue. Pre- miums paid to-day for currency ranged up to 3 S-4 per cent. The con slgnment of over $8,OO0,OOO in gold which arrived to-day made little im- pression on the currency premium and was apparently disposed of in advance of arrival. The copper stocks met some effective support to-day, but the general list sagged again, after a re- covery. Some anxiety was felt late in the day lest the Bank of England should make another advance in the official discount rate tomorrow.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales par value $s,31S,OOO.
