Finances and Markets ]

New York, May 5.-Trading in
stocks assumed no well defined trend
today. The market was hesitating
with diverse movements There was
an absence of sustaining selling pres
sure which upset prices yesterday.
and the short interest seemed to be
more concerned about covering than
attempting an extension of their op-
erations. The result was a keen
demand at the lower levels estab-
lished yesterday, and at the opening
stocks were quickly forced up to a
point which showed a substantial re-
covery. Buyers were not inclined TO
follow the market on the advance,
however. and prices accordingly fluc-
tuated within d comparatively narrow
range. Changes on the day, as a
rule. were unimportant Although
trading in bonds fell back from yes
terday's large figures, the market was
active and prices of some of the is
sues made further advances. Anal
gamated Copper was the strong fea-
ture in the late part of the session.
a factor contributOry to the strength
of this issue was a statement made
on the authority Of a representative
Of the Guggenheim interests that the
demand for copper abroad was eX-
cellent. Bank exchanges this week
again made an unsatisfactory com
parison, the total at the leading cities
of the country showing a loss Of more
than II per cent from the correspond
ing week.

space and limited amount of money
To be spent on the furnishings.
Until comparatively recently it was
the custom to arrange bric-a-brac on
''what-nots'' and in cabinets. Today
we hesitate t. give standing room to
such useless pieces of furniture, and
yet we find the room on the tables is
needed for books, magazines. photo
graphs and flowers. Where then
shall we place our pottery if not on
shelves? To Danish it entirely would
be pity, for pottery of good design
and coloring can add much to the
general appearance of a room.
Shelves are such simple things to
make. and SO inexpensive that it is
surprising that home makers have not
given more attention to them. Usually
they can be erected by the amateur
carpenter but at all events good
carpenter engaged for a day will ac-
complish excellent results in the cree
ton of shelves with a little careful
supervision. They have a very deco
rative value. Oftentimes Il large wall
space seems out of proportion to the
critical beholder Frequently a wall
OF this sort needs not So much To be
adorned as to be broken by a shelf.
Small photographs and pictures
sometimes look lost when hung on a
large wall space. but show to advant-
age when arranged on a shelf
To choose the right position for a
shelf is not an easy matter, and the
placing may be done with due regard
to the height of the ceiling and To
the horizontal lines already in evil
dence in the room. If possible the
shelf should be kept on line with
the top of the doors, the mantel or
the windows. A better effect is had
by thus continuing the architectural
lines than by allowing the shelving
to form a track of its own. a plate
rail need not run entirely around the
room. Better results are often OBJ
tanned by fitting the shelves in cor
ners and odd places.
There is a variety of styles in shelly
ing from which to make selection
But the choice must be governed by
the furnishings of the room, as the
shelves should conform to the general
scheme. In a room with ornately
carved WOOD WoTh anu tido'i"'' III
nishings, a simple. homemade sheIi
would appear crude and vice versa.
Plate rails are charming in am
ing room Pictures as a general thlhs
are not suitable for the walls, ana
better effect is had by a well arranged
plate rail. The furnishings of a din-
ing room cannot be unique. Thcre
must be the table and chairs, the
sideboard and the serving table. Any
original touches in the shelves and
pottery are therefore particularly
pleasing. says a writer i'm the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Small china cupboards with glass
doors can often take the place OF

standpoint

DRY that any interference by congress

unreasonable, a theory which has
been advanced by democrats with re-
spect to our own constitution.
The recommendation will be an i'm
provement on Hthe original suggestion
that the New Mexicans should so
change their constitution as to make
it amendable by a majority vote, as

slams While the territories commit

voted upon by both territories, it
would do well to submit one relating
to a change in the amending clause
of our constitution.
OF course, these remarks are mad,

as it now stands is what we want
