In the Island OF Ushant-the elsie

have . small wax cross made, some
seven inches long. This 10 solemnly

the priest, who deposits It in q box,
shaped like cinerary urn, that hangs
on tho south side OF the altar Of st.

tho spirit Of the dead. These memo
rial symbols are allowed to accumu-
lato In the box till the next church
mission comes round. AS these revi-
val services are held only once In ev.
cry four or i've years, the number OF
crosses may be very considerable. A
day Is then Set apart for their solemn
Interment It Is the great day. tho
climax OF the mission. Tho church is
draped In black and crowded with q

whom break out into loud wailing
Tho. crosses are brought from their

arc carried to the churchyard, the

passes but some pious soul comes to

and say a prayer before It for the

covered that her cardcase was miss.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Opened 0tf-Some Recov'
cries Made SpeciaIties Strong.

The stock market ushered in some
fractional declines at the opening yester-
dsy. and there was a disposition on the
mart of professionals to sell stocks. The
selling was not sufficiently effective to
do more than check the upward move
ment which seemed to be under way on
Thursday II was speciality day. and
the Tobaccos and Snuff were the domi-
Mating stocks In further advances. The
standard issues of both rails and indus
trials showed no activity, and through
out the day the trading was very irregu-
lar. There was considerable interest In
the possible handing down of the Su-
preme Court decision, which absorbed
much Of the gossip on the floor and In
the street, which, added TO news from
abroad, had a depressing effect on the
leading issues, though the undertone APP
peared too strong to warrant any liberal
selling. The European situation is men,
scing, and tho acute financial strain In
Germany was responsible for decided
weakness in the London stock market.
English consols and other investment
securities were much depressed. not only
by outside selling. but by the effect Of the
past wild speculation in Marconis, West
African mines and oils, which is still a
factor In the financial status of trading.
The liquidation of Ca. dian Pacific
abroad was reflected here. as the Ger
, mans have purchased this stock more
heavily than any other American secu-
rity, and now are sellers.
! In the late afternoon an announcement
was made of the decision Of the Su.
preme Court in the restricted rate case
setting aside the injunction granted Il
the roads by the Commerce Court and
restoring effect to tho rates by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. This
| seemed to DO the bears opportunity tc
do something. and a raid was started
! but there were no large blocks of stock
Forthcoming, so the effect was not
startling, and there apparently was goot
buying on tho decline. After the ad-
journment of the Supreme Court unit
next Monday was made known the mar
ket showed signs of returning firmness
The closing left an array of irregular
minus and plus signs, which may be In
terpreted either way. according to the
sentiment of the individual.
