ticipated exhaustion of capital sup
plies in the market, and, together
with eager demands of Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, was given
large responsibility for the glutted
condition In which the market for in,
vestment securities was thrown But
this important financing, accom-
plished at that period, left these com
panies at less disadvantage in diff
cult circumstances, which developed
in the later final crisis. This advant-
age is chief to account for the present
extraordinary strength of the group,
the two hill stocks sharing in the
benefit. In the rest of the list the
strength shown was more moderate
and to some portions of the list did
not extend at all. Pennsylvania rose
quite onspicuously in the face of a
reduction in dividend rate from Z to
G per cent, This was in consonance
with the action of other stocks on
which dividend reductions have oc-
cured recently, notably Atchison and
New York Central and is indicative
of how far reductions have been dis
counted in speculation. Preliminary
estimates of the currency movement
with tn einterior gave evidence of
the sustained heavy flow to this cen
ter. Losses to the sub-treasury,
which include payments for gold eX-
port and some returns of government
deposits in anticipation of next weeks
call, amounted to $47S5,0o0, but this
apparently has been Offset almost two

of finished steel are usually main

markets there is little increase in the

noted in duplicate orders. Condi

industry, wholesale houses ordering
only for immediate needs and stipu
ating for quick deliveries, which are
readily arranged. Jobbers at the
west and south evince no disposition
to place fall contracts, which are
usually closed before this date. and
the conservative policy pursued thus
for suggests that manufacturers will
be unable to make deliveries at the
usual date. as stocks are not being
accumulated.

The love OF what is beautiful In
art makes the Queen choose her
gowns and those OF her only unmar-
ried daughter with more than the
usual woman's interest In dresses as

land, soft fabrics. dainty laces and

Meals and Brains.

We give too much thought to our
meals, for instance; they need CON
irving. and it is pleasant to have
them set temptingly upon table on
which fresh flowers are arranged
and to eat them in room wherein

is not right that our bodies should
be fed at the expense of our souls,
or that the dust should be taken

RAYMOND HITCHCOCK has been acquitted for the
second time charges preferred against him by the
New York vice authorities. The evidence brought
out at the trial extremely contradictory and
acquittal followed matter of course There
four indictments still pending against Mr. Hitchcock
and he was released on bail.
Considering that the state failed to prove its
in the first two trials, it absurd to press
the other charges they being similar in nature.
But Mr. Hitchcock like Aristides of old, is too pop
ular and too successful actor hence his enemies
are determined to smirch his character. There are
good many people in Gotham who believe that this
talented actor is being prosecuted. and loyalty
standing by their idol. The old saying that where
there is smoke there must be fire. is proving to be
boomerang in this instance; and instead of nJuring
Mr.. Hitchcock by haling him before the courts, he
is being made more popular than ever.

THAT the American people love and cherish the

amply evidenced during the Republican Conven-

for forty seven minutes and was the most spontane-
tribute that has been accorded anyone for years.
1t is conceded that the president has made many
emies during his administrations but where he made
one enemy, he made hundreds of loyal friends. He
never permitted duty to interfere with the making
of friend, for if he thought he right that was
