The chief depressing factor. however.

Bonds were heavy.
Tension relaxed in the stock market
this week, and there was no trace of the
excitement occasioned by last weeks

which followed it.
Trading fell away to light volume, and
although sentiment remained compare
lively cheerful, the market gradually
eased off from the higher level attained

Cessation of urgent short covering and
diminution of outside buying as prices
rose, coupled with realizing by traders,
tended to lower prices
Another influence discouraging to trad
ers on the long side of the market was
the tendency Of foreign holders of Ameri-

Then choking her with one hand h.

with the other and fled up the alley
Her screams brought neighbors and
soon the police arrived in the scene

they have will lead to his apprehens-
ion.

THE USE OF
CHRISTMAS CARDS

Never in the history of the develop
ment of social customs have Christmas
Cards been ST much used as they are
today.
The custom is almost universal and
is extending each year; a fact that is
natural, when it is remembered that
this is the least expensive and most
delicate means of conveying our share
in the sum total of Christmas happi-
ness.
While ready made cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at many
places; these are not so much in
demand now as those which are
specially engraved. Cards for Christ
mas Greeting should express ones
individual taste in as great a degree
as cordial personal greeting, and
this can only be accomplished through
the medium of card engraved in
accordance with your own taste in
arrangement and artistic effect.
The most satisfactory results can be
obtained by consulting the ]. P.
Stevens Engraving Co., AZ Whitehall
St, Atlanta, who will send samples OF
the very latest style-send today so
that the work can be made up for you
in ample time
