SOAK CUSTOMERS NOW
After Having Agreed On Fashions
For The Season.

NEW YORK, March 26-Two
hundred odd merchants tailors are
on their way to their various homes
today after attending the American
Style and Fashion Show, which clos.
ed last night. Lectures on Summer
styles were an important part Of the
closing session. THE modern Sum
mer coat said a lecturer, Sis now
made with no lining except the pock-
cts. Each pocket hangs loose on the
inside Of the coat and we will not
ask your heavyweight customers TO
encase themselves in wadding as we
used to do. While the dressmakers
are tempting fate by putting five
hundred practical buttons on single
gown, we are reducing the number OF
buttons that we sew on coats. Here
are handsome Summer coats with
buttons that do not button at ALL In
the old days men were so crazy about
style that they were willing to wear
the so'called Prince Albert coats that
bound them like a vice. For this
year we make clothing that is easy
to get into, easy to wear and easy to
get out Of"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
STOCK DEALINGS DULL
Almost to Point of Stagnation-Day's
Gains Reduced by Realizing.

New York, Feb. 1.-The days devel-
opments were regarded as negatively
favorable to stock market values and
the rather firm tone of the market was
the consequence This frmness did
not obscure the fact OF the growing
lethargy OF the speculative interest,
which left the dealings dull at times
to the point of stagnatien. The fact
Of most influence on the board room
traders was that no large volume of
outside liquidation was forced upon
the market over the week and by the
dropping tendency Of prices last week
and the sharp decline with which the
week ended. Selling at ths opening
was so inconsiderable that the traders
demand to cover shorts with the pur-
pose of taking advantage Of expected
selling was sufficient to advance
prices. Professional operations were
renewed for a decline when this state
Of affairs was perceived, but they We're
not pushed aggressively. The refusal
Of the supreme court to grant the Pc
ton Of the Consolidated Gas company
for rehearing of the S0-cent gas ap-
peal caused another downward plunge
in the price Of that security to lis ga,
this being a lower price than before
the rally in the stock when the petit
tiOn was filed. The general list show
ed itself but little perturbed by this
break, and this again had a mega
lively good effect on the tone The
supreme court action seemed without
effect in renewing the misgivings of
those who had begun to fear unfavor-
able action on the case to test the
commodities clause Of the Hepburn
law. Reading, which is most clostly
sympathetic with DEVELOPMENTS re-
garding this case, was notably strong,
with influence on the whole list The
action of the money marlret proved
that there was no eleventh. hour meas
ure left by the trust companies to full

quirement Call loans were but slight
~ firmer than the recently prevailing
rate. Money continues In abundant
supply and no ripple was induced by
the further engagements of gold for
export to South America The prob
lem confronting bankers in New York
remains one Of finding employment for
funds accommodating, in spite of the
heavy output of new issues, which still
continues. In London, where a sim
liar flood Of new issues has been 60

he hadn't the nerve to make response.
He remained hidden throughout the
game, and then made his way home-
ward, thoroughly discouraged young
ball player.
The next day, however, he got his
nerve up and presented himself to the
manager, prepared to do the Spartan

member a thing from the time he went
behind the bat until the eighth inning
when he found himself going to sec,

Kidding Griffith.
Clarke Griffith, former manager of
the Highlanders in the American
cinnati club in the National league this
season, broke into professional base
ball in 1888. He debuted at Milwau-
kee. He was a little fellow, II years
Odd, and his eyes were as black and
piercing as they are today.
The players of the Milwaukee club
and its opponents started in to kid"
the little fellow the minute he made an
appearance They thought it was a
Joke that such a little trifie as he
should have the nerve to try to break
into fast company. The opposing team
members told him in not very pleasant
tone just what they intended to do
with his delivery. At first he became
so nervous that he had great mind to
funk the game, but with the contin-
ued gliding he received he got his dan
der up and the old fighting spirit re-
turned to the little fellow. The more
they 'kidded" the better he got. When
he hit the firing line his head was cool
and in his heart there burned a deep
feeling or vengeance. What he did to
that lot of fresh ball players has long
been a matter Of baseball history
