SENTIMENT IN STEEL
 IS. NOT 50 BUOYANT
Auguries for Business Con- tinues FavOrable-Read-
 ing Shows Losses

New York. March 17-Auguries for business so far as they could be read in
 the action of last weeks stock market continued favorable. While the actual
 movement of prices was under the re- strant of profit taking sales there were signs of organized market management in sudden outbreaks of activity by pools rotating from one quarter of the market to another
 Due allowance for such artificial phases common to all sustained market move ments, the absorptive power of the mar ket gave encouragement to the faction committed to a belief in improving ten dencies. Such occurrences as favored a contrary view seemed to be appraised as hacing no more than a modifying influ- ence on the general forward tendency.
 Reports of yearly results by a number of industrial corporations were helpful factors and spread sympathetic infu- ence for industrias was helped by the striking showing of the market for shares of the fragments of the Standard Oil and of the American Tobacco com panies. The rise in these issues was re- fected in the strength of other shares, especially of companies which are said to be preparing plans to conform to the antitrust law without submitting to a lawsuit. The feeling of confidence that the season was opening conspicuously for business and industry was compounded of various items. The recent abundance of moisture promised good soil conditions for the grain crops and Il was thought that the terms on which agricultural products are being marketed would give assurance to the farmers. The effect on the demand for cotton by the British coal strike was regarded as good in the light of taking by spinners. The active demand for textile products and the ad- vance in wages granted in that industry in New England made notable count in the hopeful feeling prevalent.
 Sentiment in the steel trade was re- ported not so buoyant prices remaining unsatisfactory in sympathy with orders Copper reflected a good tone. Railroad net earnings for February were expected to show the benefits of improved operat- ing conditions.
 Prices fell back on the last day of the week in consequence apparently of ad- vices from London, indicating some strain in the European situation, sup posed to relate more play to relations he tween Russian and Austria. Bankers here were inclined to believe political and industrial conditions on the eastern con tinent at this time are not calculated to inspire the greatest degree of confidence.
 Taking yesterdays final prices as basis a large part of the weeks market losses were shown by Reading.

Of Current Interest and Otherzuise
By A MAN OF LEISURE

fifties the movement spread in New Eng land.
 In the eighties there was another pro hibition wave. The Anti-Saloon league crusade became very active a few years ago and was conducted by "experts who received good pay for their professional services
 About the time the legislature of Ala bama enacted the most stringent of all prohibition laws the wave seemed to be rolling all over the south. Manty anti saloon leasuers felt sure that the saloon once banished in this part of the coun- try would never return But reaction quickly came, and the saloon has re- turned-in a few cities. And if there is any such thing as a model saloon, Bir- mihgham has it. I would be glad to see whisky abolished all together except in the mint julep season., and thousands of prohibitionists in this state feel the same way. There has been great abuse of liquor in the years past, and there will be much abuse of 1t as long as strong drink is made. But since some men will drink they should be satisfied with light NiiSS anu bttl.
 It is not my purpose, however to dis cuss either details or ideals. This Is practical age and we must face condi- tions. As Solomon says in the book of Ecclesiastes, "The thing that hath been it is that which shall be-
 Another prohibition wave will come in another generation, and that wave will be followed by the leSalized sale of liquor in some form. But those who hope to see Alabama back in the prohibition col- umns in the near future surely will be In 1909 eight states had statutory prohibition. Now of the 4S states of the union, there are only seven that have statewide laws.
 1 have always been a great believer in temperance movements. Total abstinence societies have saved many d man from a drunkards grave. But these societies act altogether on the theory of moral suasion. When a boy or man is induced to take the pledge to abstain from the use of intoxicatants he does it voun- tarily.

A New Life of Newman

Cardinal Newman, who died in 1850 In the eighty-ninth year of his age, was prolific author and every book that he wrote found ready sale. A few years ago Newman's Letters and Correspondence, edited by his niece, Anne Mozley, was given to the world in the form of two vol umes. published by Longmans, Green X CO of London. Although the selling price is s4 these volumes have been in steady demand And now comes a new work, Life of John Henry Newman based on his private journals and correspond erce, by Wilfrid Ward. It Is In two large volumes, and although the price is sa the first edition was soon exhausted. Longmans, Green & Co.,, the publishers. will shortly print another edition. and it is believed that there are enough orders already in the hands of booksellers to take up the second issue.
 Miss Mozley belongs to the Anglican church, and the letters which she edited are those which Newman wrote while he was still member of that communion They make delightful reading and give us an intimate view of the great church. man which we could not otherwise gain MT Ward Is a member of the Catholic church, and the letters which he repro duces are those written py Newman dur ing his life as a Roman Catholic. Car dinal Newman was not only renowned for his learning. but he was the founder of an English style. No man or letters of the Victorian period was so free in the use of idioms as Newman. and no one perhaps brought the reader so quickly under his spell
 The "Oxford Movement" which New man led, has waned, 1t Is said. The OK ford atmosphere may be more conducive to agnosticism than 1t was quarter of a century ago; but Newman dead these 20 years or more, seems to be as popular in the literary world as he was when he first began to wrote Tracts for the Times" while vicar at St. Mary's, or in his 'or- atory" of St Philip Neri at Edgbaston. The almost phenomenal demand for this latest pubication-Newman's Life by W ilfrid Ward-proves his wonderful pop ularity. "Apologia" is the best known and most widely read of all Newman's works. It ia a booksellers staple. But a volume which Is not so generally read but which gives much of Newman's many sideness. is the story called Loss and Gain'- q great English classic embracing humor, satire. pathos and thsology; and in no book with which I am familiar will one find such beautiful glmpses of Oxford.

Equal Suffrage and Feminine Fashions

Tn the early days of the woman sui fracc movement the leaders ahectea many masculine ways. pr. Mary walker wore men's clothes. The only time l ever saw her l took her for little old man.
 The modern suffragist retains her lem ininity and to all appearances IS ike other women. 1t seems to me, however that along with the suffragist agitation, which has become quite popular through out the country, there should be some e1- fort to reform female dress. During the mast few years fashions have become more freakish and therefore less oecoiil- ing. Every woman, especially every young woman, should dress herself with taste and not follow radical fashions, resaro- less of esthetc principles tall willo"y figure looks well in a high turban. But the same headgear makes a short girl look like fright Some women look well in hobble skirts, but the majority of them are disfigured by the hoopie effect.
 Men do not, as a rule, dress them- selves with taste. But that does not matter so much. A pretty woman looks all the more beautiful when she Is well eovued and even homey woman be- comes good looking when she Is taste fully attired. It seems the natural province of gentlewomen to dress beautifully, but the recent craze for extreme trehch modes simply because they are French should be discouraged.
