THEY SAY THAT FUR TRIMS

The fur trimmed veil is the latest
freak in fashion for the coming sea

If the veil is brown, 1t is bordered
with sealskin, just narrow edge of

gray wells squirrel is the trimming,
while wells which have no fur CORE
spending in color are edged with some
kind which makes a striking and ef-
fective contrast.
Fur lined motor wells are also COM
ing into favor. Squirrel lock is usu-
ally used for these, as they are mere
ly lined for warmth and not for orna-
ment. There is no fur where the
veil covers the hat, but square is
laid inside the crepe de chine. When
the veil is drawn around the head
and tied under the chin it covers the
back of the head and ears and<pro-
tects each side Of the face from
draught.
The weird disfguring patterns Of
large leaves, insects, chanteclers and
aeroplanes which were seen i'm the
spring wells have quite disappeared
They were too damaging to the ap-
pearance to suit the Englishwoman
who prides herself on her complexion
so now only fine meshes are worn

tight little veil the London womer
drew over her face year ago. Nov

of hay:
into the San Francisco market during the last

over the arrivals Of the week preceding This
Increase has consisted OF new crop hay which
had been purchased for immediate shipment and
which Is coming rapidly into the market.
ION account OF the increased arrivals the
market throughout the week has been shade
easier This has naturally been expected for
the reason that there is confidence felt in
any direction in relation 10 the stability Of ex-
isting conditions. either in the interior sections
or IN the cities.
1.-The recent purchases OF both old hay and
new crop, that have been made for shipment
to market. have consisted entirely Of small lots
at various hay centers. where prompt shipment
could be had. and this hay arriving daily
has been marketed on the basis Of prevailing
wholesale prices There has been no buying IN
large lots at any point. apparently there IS
no disposition at the present time on the part
OF operators to buy ~on the present basis for

RAILWAYS SHOW
EARNINGS GROW

NEW YORK, June 1S.-There
was no stock market to speak of
today, attention being distracted
by the ceremonies incident to the
welcome of former President
Roosevelt. Aside from the inter
ruption occasioned by the festivi-
ties, the stock market element
feels a keen interest in the direc-
tion to be taken by Roose-
velt's activities on home soil in
dicated by his assurance that "I
am ready and eager to do my part
SO far as l am able in helping
to solve problems"
AS the reception parade moved
up Broadway prices rose to a sub
stantiai average fraction over last
night
A feature of the days market
was the weakness of the Hawley
railroad stocks. The recent Sc
we're decline in Chicago and Alton,
which served to foster doubts of
the maintenance of its dividend,
has affected the Toledo. st. Louis
and Western stocks, because that
road owns control of the other.
The weakness was communicated
to Chesapeake and Ohio.
There was downward tendency
in the discount market in Lon
don, where an installment on
treasury bills fell due today, the
first of a series which will serve
by their payment to release gov
ernment funds congested in the
Bank of England by the belated
collection of the years tax. Lat
est figures of railroad gross earn
ings continue to show increase
over last year.
The compilation of the Financial
Chronicle of April earnings, as
reported to the interstate COM
merce commission, shows an in
crease in gross over last year of
IA per cent, or s27,164,000, follow
ing that years gain over 1907 of
$21, ,921, 600, the last named, how
ever, showing a shrinkage of
s45,000,000 from the total. The
April net earnings this year are
but $3,57S,54S, or 5.S1 per cent
over last year, the increase in
operating cost here coming into
play, but last years April net was
S11.593,097 greater than in 1908,
while that years showing fell
