THE STOCK MARKET

New York, June 25.-The stock mar ket was taken in hand today with more vigor and determination than for some time past. The initiative was supposed 10 be largely professional, but the ap- pearance of confidence even amongst professional operators was Q distinct change from the recent profound apa- thy of the market. Rumor was busy developed activity which was attribu- ted largely to professional operations as concerned in the upward movement There was also an almost total absence of selling pressure notwithstanding ter. It was found easy before to bid up prices without bringing out any overwhelming offerings of stocks at the higher prices. There was marked movement In speculative sentiment in London and this relieved the local mar ket from a factor which has helped to keep 1t back. A rebound of 1916 in British consols was a striking testi- money to the improvement In the in- vestment feeling in London. Apparent ly fears of trouble at the fortnightly stock market settlement in progress there have subsided. Discounts reced- ed. although London took s1,O00,000 in morrow. By continued drain on bank reserves it is held in some quarters, cannot fail to complicate the local money situation i'll connection with the
 
 market ignored this influence. The sub-treasury has now taken from the banks since the bank statement was compiled $6.397.000 and this includes only such portion of the gold intended for export as was shipped today. Sat urday's surplus reserve even with last weeks augmentation stood at only $5,- 266, 500. It Is the opinion amongst for eign bankers that the gold export movement may extend considerably further. The Imperial Bank of Ger many showed some betterment of con- dition and confidence at Paris was re- stored with the subsistence of the more alarming demonstrations in Southern France. London national authorities attribute the determined purpose of foreign banks to build up their re- serves in part to the expectation of short crops, which will pecossitate heavy payments for imported bread stuffs and perhaps reshtpments of gold later. On the other hand New York. authorities are inclined to explain the scanty supplies of exchange as due to the disinclination to offer bills against future grain and cotton exports. A good impression was caused by the success of the $6,000.00 Philadelphia 4 per cent bond issue. The bid of syndicate at 100.27 was followed by re- ported re-sales by the syndicate up to 102 1-2 and bids above that. This in cident was regarded as having an i'm portant bearing on the coming sale of $29, 1000, ,000 New York city bonds on Friday of this week. The very favor able crop conditions reported by the weekly bulletin of the weather bureau was help to the market. The driving in of short interest also helped the growing strength. This had become pronounced and general by the last hour of the dayN and numerous gains of l to points were shown by all classes of securities. These gains were held to the strong and active closing. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1.O3O, ,oO0 U. $. 3s advanced 1-2 per cent on call.

 Favorable advices from Liverpool which were to the effect that prices were six points up and that there were large spot sales, caused the future market to open from two to five points above the close or yesterday. 5 Early offerings of July were quickly absorbed and by the noon hour this option which opened two points below yes terday's close was IA points up, while at the close 1t was twenty-two points ahead of the close of yesterday.

But parsfcularly for the new crop, owing 70 the favorable weather reported in the South and expectations of a bearish weekly report from the weather bureau at midday. Prices eased off to a decline of about one to five points on the morea ctive months under these offerings with August continuing to hold over the closing figures of yester- day Then the whole list firmed up on more aggressive buying by bullish leaders and a more urgent demand from shorts.
 The high points was reached in the last few minutes of the day and the close was within two three points of the best.
 The weekly report of the weather bureau was quite as favorable as had been expect ed and had evidently been discounted in ad- vance. Private reports fro mthe south afloat concerning the possibility of an end season squeeze which restricted short sell ing.

Individual Perfumes.

The woman who uses a scent at all
should aim to have it individual as
we'll as elusive Always choose the
same perfume or sachet powder The
best effect is gained by keeping
sachets of orris root among ones
clothes. If the real Florenune Orris is
bought it keeps its strength indefi-
litely. If. however, a perfume is pre-
erred. buy the very best you can af-
ord, and then be downright stingy in
he use of it. Remember. a mere sus-
.ision of viOlets or hehOTope is mys-
riously fascinating; to Teek CT them
is decidedly vulgar.

French Belts.

Parisians are wearing very elab-
crate leather belts, the leather being
much fooled and gilded after the
fashion of old bindings. having solid
gold buckles. With an ingenious eye
for effect many women are wearing
them back to front, the deep buckle
coming i'm front, while the narrower
one, with its holes for adjusting, goes
at the back. This plan gives a pretty
sloping line to the waist The striped
leather belt is very fashionable for
the moment The belts are of white
suede and the stripes, about half an
inch wide, run across. These have
nothing at the back. and are fastened
in front with a wide square or Byzan-
tine buckle of bronze or gold.

Hat Trimminu Hint.

The merely fiOweT-adoned hat is
becoming hackneyed, but the idea is
still being carried out by the milli-
ners. as it has met with so much fav-
or. The simple field blossoms and
grasses look quite exquisite in con
junction with new felt hats, of rich
butter color. White hats are still seen
with the trimming of pure white
ROSTERS feathers. Velvet ribbon is
making its appearance as a hat trim
ming. and it is very successful when
mingled with illusion net. Brims are
lined with colored or black silk. or
else a little bias covers the edge.

Our Handkerchief's Utility

From a lady's fancy hemstitched
handkerchief one can make two turn
over collars, one pair cuffs, and have
the center left for another fancy
handkerchief. Cut a strip across op-
posite sides for the turn overs, and the
two pieces of border which are left
can be made into cuffs by hemstitch-
ing the ends to correspond with the
rest of the hem Finish these with
Persian lamb bands. You will also
have a perfect square left in the cen
ter which, after putting in a narrow
hem and finishing with lace, makes
a pretty handkerchief.

For trimming children's afternoon
dresses ribbons will be used a great
deal. A last years dress can be made
to look like new if ribbon is skill
fully used Velvet. satin, gros-grain.
and taffeta ribbons are the ones used.
The trimming can be put on in almost
any way one wishes.
Another trimming is plaid material
A dress of plain cloth is trimmed with
bias bands of plaid or check material
of some contrasting shade
Braids are particularly fashionable
for trimming both adults and chill
dren's dresses, and they are seen in
many beautiful varieties.
