FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, May 23.-Today's stock market was a disappointment to those who took on stocks in the latter part of last week in the expectation that a broadening of the demand and rise in prices were to be looked for this week. The sagging tendency of prices was directly due to selling to realize by such disappointed holders, while the expected demand was not in evidence. The causes for the action of the market or it's lack of action still remain Ob scure. The tone became decidedly weak by the end of the day. New York banks report considerable discounting here by outside banks, while the de- mand for mercantile paper is indiffer- ent owing to considerable resort by merchants to their own banks for ac- commodation on the plea that the col lections at this time are slow.
 These points in the domestic money situation and the course of the London money market influenced those with large funds to lend rather than the ap- parent abundance of money to lend on collateral and on call in the stock mar ket

Caution as to Fur.

Now that fur and maribou are so
popular for trimming evening gowns
it may be well to give a word of eau
ton as to its arrangement.
For instance, the cuff of fur finishing
the short sleeves is exceedingly fasci-
mating when seen on the display figure,
but unless woman has an especially
good figure it is seldom becoming. be-
cause the bands cut the figure and in
cidentally shorten it. When one Is
In doubt the better plan win be to take
a narrow fur and trim the sleeve In

edge, midway between the inner seam
Of the sleeve and the outward edge Of

Of that country, where he is known as
the wise man." He is philosopher,
poet and man OF high moral char

by his countrymen much as Tolstoy is
by the Russians. DR.. Braga is about
sixty years Of age, is of good family
and is a man of some wealth. AL
though he is not a son of the people,
he is the most noted speaker in Por-

For some years DR.. Braga has been
an instructor at the University Of Co
imbra, which is the Oldest and largest
institution of learning in Portugal,
He has always taken an active part
in the quarrels between the Monastic
and Republican parties and has made
speeches all over the country, uphold
ing the Republican as against the
Monastic, or royal, party. About three
years ago he became president Of the
committee of seven of the Republican
organization and in that office welded
great political power. He studied
medicine in a German university and
since a young man has practiced his

importance Of the Sire.

Dairymen' differ to some extent on
the kind Of COW which is most profita-
BILE. Some prefer a general purpose
COW, one that Is mixed with the milk
producing family and the beef breed
OF cattle, writes l.. G.. johnson in
Farm and Ranch, Such cows are Of
large build and easily fattened when
not in milk, and should one prove UNI
profitable, she can be put ON the mar
ket for beef at good price. Such
cows, too, have large calves that are
profitable at the proper age for veal
or to keep over until they are two
years old, then sell to cattle dealers. i
Some prefer, myself included, cat.
tie of the distinct type especially,
adapted to milk producing. This class
includes several families or breeds of
cattle, but all have the marked char
acteristics Of milk producers. The
best way to keep up the herd to its
desired. number OF good cows is by
breeding and raising the calves from
the best mixers of the herd.
do not Ike the. idea of buying and
bringing new cows into the herd, as 1t
Is dangerous, and many a herd have
had disease brought among them by
the purchase ofSa single COW and
bringing her into the herd. l always
save the fourth or fifth calf Of my
best mixers and breed them at two
years old and at the same time weed
out the COWS that are Improbable
The, choice of the bull is of very
great Importance, and the saying that
the bull is half the herd should not
be forgotten by the dairyman, as every
calf added to the herd takes half Its
blood from the bull. One COW may
prove poor dam and fail to breed for
a season and yet give a profit in milk
Such fault is but a trivial one and
can be easily corrected But If the
bun proves poor sire the increase for
whole year is lost 1t can be readily
seen that it pays to purchase good

Queen WilheImina's Kindness.

In little house in one of the poorer
streets at The Hague there lives in
retirement, according to the Figaro,
General Vergensius, who once held the
Office Of secretary of war in the royal
council of Holland. A paralytic stroke
robbed him of the useoof one side Of
his body and Of the power of speech.
The old mans only pastime is to sit at
his window and watch the few pedes-
trians and vehicles as they pass before
1t. Some time ago the generals sad
condition became known TO the queen,
and the next day while taking her
usual drive she gave orders to pass the
old mans window at slow pace. She
was seen and returned the soldiers sa-
lutte with smile. Sinceathat time the
passing call has been almost daily
occurrence. Recently Wilhelmina sent
word to the general, DO not fail to be
at the window tomorrow" and when
the royal carriage camecto the house
the next day the queen saluted, as
usual, and then held up the Princess
Juliana, who shook her little hand in
greeting to the veteran in the window
