STOCK MaRKET REVIEW.
Narrow Professional Trading With
 Meaningless Fluctuations.

New York, oct. 1.-The stock market took on all the aspects of narrow professional affair to-day. It's verying fluctuations were virtually meaningless and reelected n1 convic- tions on the part of those responsible for the bulk of the dealings, but merely an attempt to effect a move ment of prices for trading purposes. The volume of the days transactions was mcagre and the constant shifting ot the current of prices demonstrated the feeling of hesitation and uncer- taInty of those taking part in the market. Yesterday disposition to re- vert to minor obscure stocks as a medium for trading became still more marked to-day and was, in itself an occasion for 1lstrust A number If stocks came into activity to-day which are often neglected for weeks at time; stocks of the cheapest grade and of the most doubtful value. This stirring up of the dress of the list was regarded as uminous. To add to the dlsfavor felt towards the move ment, a testing process demonstrated n lack of support for some of the stocks of a class only little superior which were marked up yesterday. Sale of only few blocks of these resulted in a collapse in the price. These evidences of the degeneration of the speculative movement prompt ed the selling of the general list, which depressed prices There was no actual news to account for the de presson. The call money market, however continued to show q hrmer tone and to suggest some coming cur taIlment of the superabundance of funds for speculative uses, which has been .hc prime factor in keeping up prices. Some of the most influential of tho clearing house bands were re ported to be withdrau wing some parts of the loans they have extended for stock market uses and the professions al traders were ready to infer from this changing attitude towards the stock market on tho part Of the pow erful captalistic groups affiliated with these banking institutions.

ELABORATE COLLARS
ARE THE VOGUE NOW

Coat collars are a fashion study this
year because the neck finish of outer
garments must conform to the shapes OF
the huge ruches and ruffs. without which
no street costume is complete.
AS an eXemplification Of this extreme
mode the collar on a stunning wrap
recently imported from Paris was so long
1t suggested a stork's neck cut military
style, fastening with invisible hooks and
eyes in the front. At either side, under
the ear. was a lapel. separate piece,
rounded at the lower edges and reaching
out to the shoulders. As much gilt braid
ing was placed on these as the back
ground could hold and the effect, when
the sun struck it. was dazzling.
The other collar was about four inches
high at the back. fitting close to the head
and Soping down to about two inches In
front. This, too was deliberately braided.
In strong contrast to this unusual neck
finish is the plain tailor effect of a mar
row, rolling collar that comes down in
notched revers. With this style an extra
neckpiece. such as fur or velvet, may be
worn with comfort.
A smart collar for a simple jacket is
the tight fitting military design. This is
what women ordinarily call standing
collar but it fastens together in the front
with invisible hooks and eyes, and always
looks trig. If a line of white linen
appears above the top the smartness is in
creased Another reason the style is
good is because it holds the line OF the
neck, preventing q bulky aspect when
outer collars are put on.
There is to be a conspicuous absence Of
white lace trimmings on coats this Win
ter. House jackets that are part of a
dress may be deliberately decorated with

Plain and Trimmed
Shirt Waists Worn

Shirt waists of any material from satin
to wash fabrics are a necessary part of a
stylish woman'S outfit this year
AS to the models for these garments
they are elaborate enough for most for
NAL occasions or they are plainly tailored
designs without any fullness over the
shoulders or at the neck The latter
blouses have front hens an inch and a
half wide.
The fastening is invisible. or with tiny
buttons Of the same material. if that is
not linen. In the latter case pearl ones
are used. Self buttons are no larger than
the tip of ones finger, and there are five
down the front. Links hold the cuff ends
together. and the tiny button on the
sleeve flap. above the cuff. another stay,
is invisible
Nome. though not many. of the newest
blouses have Jokes in the back. but none
In the front. Cuffs are three inches wide,
the corners rounded.
Three side pleats on either front por-
ton or narrow tucks. grouped or in line,
are good form. but not as smart as en-
tirely plain models.
Waists of silk and satin have sleeves
like those for dress blouse. if the body
portion has the least vestige of tucking,
front that will carry a shirt sleeve.
Guimpe effects. formerly SO in demand
are on the wane. and are rarely seen. yet
seldom is -aist completed without a
touch of white about the neck.
One of the most exquisite blouseS | ever
saw was fashioned recently for New
York woman. The material was a heavy
but very soft silk in lavender The
front was plain. but the hem had an ex-
ira outer band. a half inch wide.
joined by white herringboning. done in
coarse embroidery silk. Similar banding
covered the shoulder seams. coming down
to finish over the sleeve tops in points
The cuffs also showed the hem, joined
with the same stitch. The hand work
gave a delicate effect, and II is one well
within the reach of any girl who does
fancy work.
1t Is noticeable that no separate waists
are made on directoire lines. the fact
demonstrating that skirts OF that period
do not flourish now. save in costumes
when the waist is part of the skirt.
