ket opened firm and with good orders re-
ported in the mail. House buying was
generally quiet In piece goods, but quite

stallments of $4,000. 600 of government de-
posits. 1t Is considered significant that

have been postponed until later In the
year, suggesting solcitude on the part
of large financial interests to guard
against over pressure on the bank po-
sition and on the investment situation
The pressure of realizing sales on the
market increased as the day progressed
and made the closing easy with a mix
ture of net declines.

that on the next day she would expect
each of them to be able to write a
short anecdote. She explained with
great care the meaning Of the word
anecdote. and next day when she called
the class up to write all but the lag
gard went at once to work.
"Why don't you write an anecdote.
