LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The better feeling in the general stock
market and to some extent the recovery
which had taken place from recent low
levels and the strength which has been
developed are attributed in the current
market comment to a belief that the
tariff bill now being considered is to
come from Congress in a form that will
be the least injurious to business inter-
ests.
Whatever may be the influences in the
general market which may be noted, the
local market seems to be entirely free
Of everything which usually has an eff
feet On the course OF prices. The general
condition is that the volume OF business
done is small and prices remain stationary
with a tendency ii anything to fractional
declines
There is no special reason for such a
condition, only perhaps the prevailin &
state of business, and then also, for that
matter the local market has a habit of
standing still for time, as If for q rest.

Barefoot Dancing.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
We read Of young women in various
parts of the country giving shoeless and
stockingless dances for the benefit of
charity and other purposes not announc-
ed. among which perhaps could. be num-
bered the qualification of feminine vanity
and the desire to attract attention. Apart
from the propriety or such spectacles
and the absence Of modesty, which the
old-fashioned love to think Is still innate
in all womankind, there Is the matter OF
the grievous afiliction which audiences are
going to be called upon TO endure IL this
mania continues. The feminine pedal, no
doubt. was originally a thing OF beauty,
but tight shoes and French heels have not
conserved IL, and the suggestion that
Young women should dance barefoot
should appal them quite much as i,
does US even if they are not restrained
by any thought OF propriety.

Wire Netting Against Rabbits.
From the London Standard

Large orders for wire netting have been
placed with Norwich, firm. the total run
ming to LOO miles length of this protec-
ton against the rabbit pest. The netting
is made forty-two inches wide. with one
and a quarterback mesh at the bottom
and one and a quarterback mesh at the
top. this weave of netting being a patent
held by this firm. The order now in hand
is for 300 miles OF this netting for the
Queensland government, which follows on
a similar order for the Victorian govern
ment, and the firm has also dispatched
800 miles Of wire netting to New South
Wales. In each case the government is
the initial purchaser, and then retails
around their holdings and thus keep out
the rabbits. without which their crops
would be devastated.
