WEEKLY REVIEW.

ID Il = IoNSN l.
New York, March S.-The focus of
speculative interest shifted this week
from Democratic politics to inteTna-
tional money markets, owing to the
acute stringency in Berlin. Financial
opinion does not believe that the in
fuence of home politics on the market
has passed. out that the interval until
the all for the extra session of Con-
gress holds this influence in suspense.
the specific questions during the week
had to do with the action Of the at
torney general toward the Union Pa
cific dissolution plan and toward the
possible ~reopening Of proceedings
against the already dissolved indus-
trial combinations.
The perception grows Of the ebbing
Of the wave of prosperity in Ger
many.
Reserves Of our national banks re-
porting on February 4, while higher
than in November, are not SO great as
in February of last year. The large
exports of gold from New York at the
end of the week give emphatic warn
ing of the prOlongatlon of the strain
when relief was expected. Consider
ing the manifold requirements ahead
of the money market, this condition
may explain the caution, conservatism
and preparation tina: are manifest in
the security markets. Continued &C
tiyity in the steel trade was shown by
F~ebruary's record daily rate Of irun
production, the further increase in the
March 1st, active furnace capacity and
the excess Of steel specifications over
shipments from the mills in February
The revival Of foreign demand fol
"copper" also was a feature Of the week
Railroad earnings are larger than last
year. Bank clearings show expansion
Building operations exceed those O
last year. Industrial equipment i:

when the market sold Is to Is points
over the closing level of last week.
The range of prices was 81 to 81 points.
Weakness on the weekend session
was due to beariSh sentiment in regard
to the new CROP outlook. Reports from
many sections Of the belt indicated
that farm work was we'll ahead; cot-

Louisiana and Mississippi commenced
to put corn into the ground. Ciailus

tilizerS and Of a material increase in
acreage stimulated short selling in the
future market. Weather conditions,
on the whole, were favorable although
at the end Of the week q portion Of
the belt would have found rain Of ad-
vantage owing to the drying out Of the
top soil.

New York, March S.-The cotton

quarters there seems to be a prefer

to moderate trade buying. the new
crop sold only six points under the
closing figures Of yesterday and below
11.S0 for May, a pretty active demand
developed. This seemed to be mostly
in the way of covering, but as prices
steadied from the lowest, there was
also considerable rGde buying, with

THE CHI[DREN'S
MERRYMAKING
Some jolly and Appropriate Ways
That the Little Ones May Cele-
brate the Feast Of the Great and
Good St. Valentine.

T you want to make the children
happy get up little party for
them on Valentines day. Then
those adults whose consciences
will not permit them to attend social
functions on their own account may
find their amusement in making the
little ones happy even though 1t is
Lent
Fancy dress parties always delight
the juniors. 1t is charming idea to
have the little guests come dressed to
represent birds or flowers. That never
failing resource, Grape paper, makes
extremely pretty costumes and, mount
ed on muslin, will stand great deal
more rough usage than one might i'm
Rgine.
If hostess lives in a neighborhood
where pussy willow can be found 1t
makes charming decoration for the
Valentine party. The children love 1t,
and even the adults are usually enthusi-
astic over it. The pussy willow Is
easy to arrange. 1t looks best In tall
vases which are Of the simplest shapes
and devoid of decorations
Flowering bulbs or any spring flow.
ers which can be obtained will add to
the festive appearance Of the rooms in
which the party is held Children are
fond Of flowers, and potted plants In
bloom will make appreciated favors.
The bare outlines Of the pot may be
hidden by fancy covers Of Grape paper
tied in place with ribbons. At this
season the nearest nurseryman can
supply all the plants needed.
OF course the conventional heart,
dove, Cupid, etc, must make their ap-
pearances in the decorations. The cakes
may be heart shaped and the ices, jel-
lies or custard nodded in this form.
Fancy ice cups, candy boxes or cases
for patties also are shaped like hearts.
Two specimens are illustrated. These
are covered with Grape paper In pink
and white The bows Of ribbon on the
box hold the cover in place. The
hearts and arrow on the ice cup are
cut out Of red cardboard.
Pink and white, yellow and white,
green and white or red and green are

appropriate colors for the Valentine
day celebration. Red cardboard hearts
strung on ribbon may be used with a
background of moss and green foliage,
Very natural looking flowers may be
fashioned of Grape paper and the ex-
pense Of fresh ones eliminated.
The lights on the table should be hid
den by colored shades. Heart shaped
ones or daintlly tinted affairs repre-
senting flowers are charming. For a
chlldren's party Jack Horner pie may
be part Of the decorative scheme. This
pie can be shaped like a heart In
stead Of being filed with gifts 1t may
be filed with valentines, one for each
child. At the proper time each child
is blndfolded or told to cl1se his eyes
and then seize any one Of several rib
bons suspended before him, These
ribbons are attached to the valentines
In the pie, and when the child has Sc
lected ribbon he should be told to
pull out a valentine
The ribbons may be OF different
shades, and instead OF bllndfolding the
youngster he may be asked to select
the color that he prefers.
Any number Of pretty games can be
played nt the valentine party. Hearts
cut from different colored cardboard
may be cut into sections and distrlb-
utcd among the children A prize or
prizes should be awarded to the child
who pieces the most hearts together
correctly within certain time.
Another contest may be played with
soap bubbles. A large heart may be
shaped out Of millinery wire and made
ornamental with ribbon. This should
be hung from the chandelier, and the
children, stationed nt n certain dis
lance from II, should be directed to
blow soap bubbles and float them
through the heart Fans should be
provided to assist In waiting the hub.

ness OF tho bubbles may be insured by

water from which they are made

gest themselves to the ingenious host.

San Francisco, Feb. 12.-Taking OF
testimony in the governments suit
against the Western Fuel company, a
coal trust subsidiary, will start before
the grand jury here Friday afternoon
when witnesses will be presented to

ing system and Special Treasury
Agent w. H. Tidewell, who, with a
force of experts, is examining the cor
poration's books, says the amount may
exceed this figure.
1t was not expected today that a
complete report of the accountants
employed to expert the Western Fuel

"The very lowest on which a girl

Sixty per cent of the working girls are
getting less money Many employers
says tina. they employ only those girls
who live at home. But why should a
girl who lives at home work for less
than other girls? She is usually from
a poor home, and the home must bear
the expense Of giving her those neces-
stiles which she ought to be able to
buy with her own salary.
"If these underpaid girls are those
who have no homes, but are living
adrift, we are accustomed TO say that
we know where they get their living.
Often we guess wrongly Many Of
them are pure, yirtuous girls, but in
order to be so they must live without

meals day and must live in a room
that costs not more than IS a month,
You all know what such room in
