MARKET SUFFERS
SHARP REACTION
Speculation in Stocks Is ListleSS
and Without Marked
Initiative
SPECIALTIES ARE FAVORED
Demand of the interior for Cash
Begins to ReaSsert Its
Influence
SPECIALTIES ARE FAVORED
TAssociated Press1

NEW YORK. Oct. 6-There was a
relapse into listlessness in the specu-
latlon in stocks, and operations were
hesitating and without marked initia-
tive. The sharp reaction of the day re-
suited in considerable Encouragement
to movements for a rise. 1t was the
current supposition that an organiza-
tion recently formed to conduct mar
ket movement on an enlarged scale had
encountered opposition in the form Of
free offerings from bankers and from
insiders, which acted as an admonition
that these interests were out of sympa-
thy with the attempt to conduct an ex-
tensive speculation at this time.
The immediate condition in the local
money market is somewhat easier with
the passing away of the effects of the
October money payments.
The interior demand for cash begins
to reassert its influence. The sub
treasury absorption of funds also goes
on, although moderated from the de-
mandS of last week.
There was renewed attention paid to
stocks known as specialties, which are
often subject to individual influences
outside the current of general tenden-
cies in the market. The substantial ad-
Vances here and there in such stocks
was believed to be caused by market
pools formed for the purpose. The re-
currence of this movement oVercame to
some extent the heaviness shown at
one time during the day. Lower prices
for copper in London did not hurt the
copper industrials in the local market
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, S22S7, 000 United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

ter, costs less, and you can have
more. Homemade garments last
longer.
First let me speak of materials.
Longcloth and fruit of the loom"
muslin make sheathlike and ador-
able garments which are most
serviceable. A fair sheer quality,
50 inches wide, comes IL yards
to the piece at $1.25. 1t costs
IA cents by the yard. Cotton
crepe is another favorite, as it
requires no ironing and feels
comfortable on the body. Cross
bar dimity and soft finished cam
brio, though less pliable, are some
times used. These latter materi-
ais come in varied widths and
qualities, and sell for about
1212 cents a yard.
Homemade lace edging for trim
ming are pretty and attractive.
Narrow embroidered edges COM
#bined with simple beading,
which sells at 2 to 5 cents per
yard, also make an acceptable
trimming. Another dainty ar
arrangement is to buttonhole the
edges of neck and armholes with
Ia stamping design, which sell
for five cents. Make eyelets for
ribbon directly below. Lace edges
and insertions are also pretty,
but will not stand the weekly
wear and tear of washing.
The three pieces we are to
make in this lesson-corset COW
err, combination and petticoat-
are built on simple lines.
We will arrange very dainty
trimming. We will cut bias folds
which you learned to make in
the last lesson-from the material,
using about one-half yard. To
trim, face the right sides of the
upper edges of neck and armholes
