COTTON GOES HIGHER
BY THOMAS G. sHoTWELL.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Traaing
was 70 light in Wall Street today that
Reading, with $4,000 shares. furnished
q fourth of the total volume. III the
early part of the day the tone vas
heavy. but toward the close prices
showed an advancing tendency. ct
no time were stocks pressed for sale
ard tie net changes were of na i:i-
-portance- 1t looked as II traders were
being coaxed to sell Reading, Lehigh
Valley and Can stocks short. but few
were persuaded.
The bank statement showed no i'm
portsnt change in any item. The cot
ton market rushed up early In the
day and then on promise of rain In
Texas broke nearly n dollar a bale.
1t closed in the midst Of feeble
rally. Grain continued its downward
movement.
On the curb the same state of dull
ness existed. The Tobacco shares
were most active, Cigar Stores and
McAndrews and Forbes being in de-
mand.
All the talking spectators were
intensely hearish. but the actual trad
ers were either gently bullish or non
committtal. Nobody sees anything
really bad and the worst that the
Street expects is some temporary ex-
eitement growing out OF politics. The
Street would be disappointed If Roose-
Welt were not nominated. for II is
clear that He has an understanding
with the financial powers and has
agreed IL elected to work and talk
for prosperity--after fhe election.

HANGINGS FOR THE WINDOWS
Pretty Materials That VIII Suit Az
most Any Style of Furnishings
Are Offered in ProfusIon.

For bedroom windows and doors
there Is an endless variety of good
things to select from, in all colorings
and materials, and suited to any style
of furnishing The domestic Gre
tonnes may be used for the less i'm
portant rooms, but the colors are not
as permanent as the imported ones,
so that it is often cheaper in the long
run to spend more on the material.
Some of the materials are. partly
covered with birds and butterflies, or
trees yielding roses, peonies or fruit
on the same branch. And there are
pastoral effects on cretonnes, much
used for bedroom windows. 1t is well
to touch on the necessity of restraint,
not only in coloring, but In pattern.
Assuming that one has much elaborate
detail in the carpet and chair cover
ings, curtains in such rooms should be
in plain, simple colors.
With plain carpet and wall paper
a good background can be formed for
chintz coverings to chairs and similar
materials for curtains. The successful
drapery or curtain should combine
the quiet and gay in such a way that
unity, harmony and variety are at
