LATEST FAD IS TO BE SILLY.
London Women Able to Play the
Game with Considerable Skill.

London. Jan. 5.-"Some one has been
finding out that the feminine pose of the
moment is to be silly" writes "The
Woman of the World" in a current peri
odieal. But Ia hasten TO add that in
order TO be silly with success one must
not be naturally silly. As a matter of
fact, considerable cleverness is required
in order to play the game with skill, but
when one can do it in the approved
fashion. it is about the most fascinating
and popular attitude that can be assumed
just now,
THE woman who can be correctly silly
is in point of fact a gOdsend TO an assem-
bly, where IT might otherwise be difficult
to make matters so and keep every one
in order.
''Sbe may be relied upon to save stu
ations, 10 keep people from hating each
other, from asking awkward questions.
from dwelling on subjects better left un-
discussed, and from showing their airs
The long and short of it is that this silly
phase is a kind of protest against the
heavy mindedness which was fast over
taking us.''

Miss Townsend said that salvation lies in

The plaintiff states that when the president and his subordinates set aside this tract of land as forest reserve the com pany was grazing 50, ,0O0 sheep and now the forestry department refus- es to allow them to continue to do so, threatening to conhscate the sheep if the company persists in such action. The palintiff's claim the land is more valuable for agri- cultural and mineral purposes than for timber and therefore should not be set aside.

BROWNS BOOMERANG BOOST
Flagstaff Correspondent to Phoenix Gazette Wants More Exclusive
 Town Strong on Moral Uplift.

The following is from the Phoe- nix Gazette, written by E. A. Brown. is a mighty enlightening piece of literature and shows con clusively great ingrowing spirit of local pride. By his own individ- ual effort and great philanthrophy has builded up great business in our midst; f he buys where he can buy cheapest. he does so only for the public good; if he is enthusias- tic concerning the building up of the town alone and unaided. it is because he so loves his fellow man that he dislikes to see them come to Flagstaff and locate when he is sure they will loose money.
 Before flocking to the bankrupt bar gain sale, advertised to commence in | Flagstaff on the 7th inst, our towns men should remember that the two gentlemen conducting the same are strangers within our gates, who have picked up and unloaded in, our town their stock of goods, and who propose to remain, at best, but part of the year. They reached here just in time to avoid having their stock assessed by the town and county assessors, hence they pay no taxes, employ no local help, spend no money in the town beyond their bare living expenses, and bring to us no guarantee of their reliability. Remember that your local merchant lives here, sup ports your institutions, pays his taxes and license, spends his profits here in the community, and employs many of your relatives and friends, and has the interests of your town at heart. | Weigh this against the slight differ ence in the price, and remember that when you need accommodation you go to your local merchant, who grants it cheerfully and carries you for reason able amount over the time of strin- gency.
 People who wish to come to Flagstaff and locate should first send in their application and have their standing looked into and their money examined. for if the town should grow much more, some peo- pie might get into the city that are really not the right kind; there is nothing like having a select town. Such broadmindedness and undying fealty to home and loved ones can be found only once in a generation. Rev. Clyde P. Metcalf is at Pa cifc Grove. California. this week.
 Harry Wiltse of the Santa Fe water service is home for a few days.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Speculative Llquidutlons on Large
 Scale Breaks Prices.

New York, July 2i-Specuative liq- uldations on large scale broke prices of stocks badly to-day The fall was gradual In tue early stages but be- came more precipltate as It progress ed, Stop loss orders placed below the high prices as q precautl3n have this effect on the movement. Speculative liquidation and short selling have been In evidence before thls week, but they were overcome by the force of the buying demand, It was In this respect that the market showed l notable change to-day, the buying orders ex- ceut at prices below the opening level, showing a material shrlnkage. The order from President Roosevelt 70 push retrial of the Standard oil case was Il proiessed motive for much of the selling. especially amongst those who had bought stocks largely on the ground of the decision in favor of the Standard oil company, The buy Ing demand prompted by that decision was fed by realizing sales yesterday and the day before by those who had bought stocks at lower level. The digestion of profits In that way is sup posed to have been very large and to represent, moreover, the passing of stocks from the hands of the power advance into those of scattered hold CTS, much less wealthy ani much less skilful and practlced in the conduct of speculative operations There was thus developed an elemalt In the speculation whose dealings had been largely reduced at n handsome profit and which was thereby ma le indlffer- cnt to further maintenance or advance of prices and willing to sec sub stantlal reaction and an opportunity to get back stocks at Tn advantage. That such technical considerations were largely responsible for the turn In the price movement rhere can be no doubt. The days news offered It. tie change in general conditions. There was another rise In the pr'oe of cop per here and in London. The stock market was quiet in the 'atter. part of the day, but showed no effective re- covery, the days losses running quite generally from i to 2 noints
 There was q pronounced contraction in the volume of the 1oid market and the tone was easy. Total sales par value, s3.020.000.

Now that the exchange on New York at Chicago, and St. Louis is quoted at discount it can be expected that the usual seasonable movement of funds to the interior will gradually de- velop, Already a demand for small bills for harvest time purposes has begun and this demand will probably to q moderate degree be reflected in to- morrow's or next weeks bank state ment. IL Is too early yet for the crop movement demand. but at present the farmers arc beginning to need small currency to pay their harvest hands. This necessity has been sufficient to start tho interior flow and from now on it can be expected quietly to gather momentum. Bankers do not, however, anticipate as result that tho usual high money rates will obtain this fall, owing to the exceptionally large ac- emulation of reserves. and doubt if great need will be found for the new emergency currency.

New York Central has not enjoyed a broad and active market for several years, but this month the stock has moved up quite step with the specu- lative leaders, to be accompanied by heavier transactions than the stock has experienced for the best part of q year; all this in spite of the fact that as a [ per cent. issue it yields less than most of the standard railroad stocks and It's prospects for maintain ing the present dividend rate are worse than the average. During the fist five business days of this month the daily transactions in New York Central averaged less than $50 shares, Gnd on one of these days, with the entire market dull, not a share of Central crossed the board, On We'd ncsday of this week the trading az Gregathd 1,500 shares, and for a week or more previous the daily aver are had been several thousand shares.

Amalgamated Copper and Anacon- da Copper were two of the firmest stoctj cn the list during the early freak in the market They were not particularly active, being two stocks which the bears are afraid to attack. From appearances the floating supply has been pretty well absorbed by pow ertul interests who took Amalgamated a.ound 4l in panic times and slowly but surely forced it upwards, even though the condition of the copper trade changed but little during all this time. Today copper metal was Is cont higher or the Metal Exchange and certain interests report that they have recently told large amounts at 1S cents Indications are that the copper stocks were firmly held today in order to sup port the general market.

Lowest prices for the day were reached, as rule, around 1:45 o'clock when Union Pachs was run down to 151 5-S and United States Steel to A. St. Paul sold at 13S 7-S. or 5-S down. Union Pacific was just points down, and Steel 1-2 down. The selling pres sure appeared to have run its course by ? o'clock and from that time on the market slowly rallied, but with occa- slonal setbacks, United States Steel, Union Pacific, Smelting. Reading and Amalgamated Copper showed the first ralying tendency. Closing prices were at moderate recovery.
 The drop in Westinghouse Electric from 79 to 7S by midday surprised mo- body. The only wonder was that 1t rose 25 points in two days to S9 1-4. The explanation of that move was driving in of soce large shorts. When .his operation was completed there was no longer anything to hold it up. No thing in the affairs of the company accounted for todays' early weakness, The reorganization Is expected to go through as planned.

The enthusiasm over the reversal of the Standard oil verdict was consld- erably dampened yesterday by Pres ident Roosevelt's order directing a new trial and his characteristic state ment pronounclng the defendants guilty. London, which sold stocks very heavily after the imposition of the Standard OH fine last summer was especially impressed. and the market was weak there yesterday morning. It was not unexpected that new trial would be ordered, but nevertheless the actual revelation of the fact that as far as this administration Is con cerned every effort will be made to mete out punishment to the company aroused fears that this temporary vic- tory would not amount to much.
