Fall River. Nov. 23.-Manufacturers and
brokers OF cotton cloth stated that last
week was very quiet and that the sales

assumed a passive interest in trade con-
ditlons and were inclined TO purchase
even at reduced prices. while market

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

In THE Bache Review' OF last Saturday
appears the following:
THE currency bill has gotten down to
question now Of how long the debate
In the Senate. when it begins. will last.
There is, of course, no hope OF action
during this session. When such a sub
ject as the currency escapes out OF COM
inIttee On to the floor there is no telling
what wild amendments will be proposed
and discussed. And this will be more
probably so because CT the hopeless split

Money Increasing.

The old saying about the ill wind
applies in the present situation, as
while trade is decreasing money is in
creasing as a natural consequence, and
while II is difficult to obtain, there is
sufficient money throughout the world
reserved in the vaults of the leading
institutions TO prevent any panic.
Bankers both here and abroad are in
clined to be conservative in the extern
sion Of credits. and are keeping their
eyes alert TO prevent imitation.
Naturally, the money markets are
very sensitive TO gold requirements.
and any movement on the part of the
United States to draw gold from Eu-
rope at this time probably would result
in an increase of the Bank Of England
rate TO check gold exports TO this coun-
try. The statements for last week Of
the Bank of England, the Bank Of
France and the Imperial Bank Of Ger
many showed gain in gold holdings
for these institutions, and the returns
as a whole were reassuring regarding
the state Of money abroad.

No Real Improvement.

The factors that governed sentiment
did not display any real improvement
during the week. Affairs in Mexico
under the surface may have been grad
uallv working toward an end which
will mean a settlement Of the rebellion
and the establishment Of a permanent
government but no such deduction was
TO be drawn from the daily reports OF
movements of Huerta and his followers
ON one side and Carranza and the
rehels ON the other and the attitude Of
the United States.
The declining condition OF trade in
many Of the industries, particularly
iron and steel, was still in evidence, ac-
cording TO the reports received last
week by the commercial agencies and
the reviews Of the iron and steel trade
Journals. Lower prices were predicted
for steel products before a buying
movement might be expected. On the
outlook for an invasion Of foreign COM
petition IN the steel trade at present
there are few signs 10 warrant an ex-
| pectation Of an effect on this market
| from that direction. This Is not sin
gular, as so many elements enter into
O. change in the conditions brought
about by new tariff provisions that II
will require time for foreigners to pre-
pare for the requirements Of this mar
ket. AS the situation stands now
prices abroad practically are as high
as they are here, all things considered,
so the immediate danger Of English
and German 81 i makers attempting
to enter this market is not pronounced.
In other lines reports are conflicting.
and it is a question how much foreign
competition will change the course OF
business on this side. With our ex-
ports increasing and the great posi-
bilities which will be thrown open to
American manufacturers in Central
and South America on the completion
of the Panama Canal, there is reason TO
suppose that the large institutions of
the United States will be able to main
tain industrial strength although
smaller concerns may suffer consider

Railroads and Currency.

The question of the railroads and
their prospect for some assistance
through the action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is receiving
more attention, and there seems TO
have come over the country a general
change in sentiment in favor of an in
crease in rates. No definite assurances
have been made by the members of the
commission as 10 their disposition in
the matter. but certain remarks have
been interpreted as showing leaning
in the direction Of granting the rail-
roads some relief. II would hardly
seem that any other attitude would he
reasonable in view of the large IN
crease of expenses through the pay
ment of higher wages TO railway en-
ployes and increased costs in various
departments, together with the neces-
sity for a large outlay Of money TO pro
vide roads with equipment and such
improvements as the public demands.
Currency legislation did not develop
during the week sufficiently to indicate
when the new measure, in some form or
other, will be passed and the country
be given an opportunity 10 try out its
theoretical provisions. As the matter
appears now il will be after the new
year before action may he expected.
and in the mean time discussions will
for and against the measure ms
whole, although in harmony on many
Of its essential provisions.

STOCK EXCHANGE VERY DULL
Trade Reports, Mexican Affairs
and POlitics-LOWer Prices
Predicted for Steel.

One of the very dull weeks in the MS
tory of the New York Stock Exchange
was the one ended on Saturday last
Influences centred entirely in the
United States and Mexico controlled
stock market movements. which on
each day Of the week were narrow ana
unimportant except as indicating an
Indifference on the part OF traders ana
disnosition to let the market take
care Of itself. Declines during the
week naturally resulted from the ap-
sence of necessary support, although IN
point of liquidation comparatively NJ
tie stock was brought out as a net re-
suit of selling movements. PROBES
sional attempts to raid the market were
not very successful, which Indicated
that the supply Of stocks comparative
" was small and that holdings were IN
the hands Of the strong financial m
terests. These interests might be IN
duced to part with some of their pos
sessions in the event of conditions be-
coming so disturbed that they would he
forced TO liuuidate, but there seemed TO
be nothing to the situation to warrant
so pessimistic an outlook. and the
technical position of the stock market
snneared 10 be favorable to a turn
toward betterment.
False Rumors Checked.
Wall Street during the week was
treated to an experience that for DAY
threatened TO disturb the financial sta
hilitv of the district owing to the cir
culation Of rumors by irresponsible
persons who gave no thought TO the
truth or falsity Of statements maze
The credit of some Of the leading instl-
tutions was brought into question, ana
for several hours throughout the imam
cial district people were asking one an
other questions regarding this or mat
nossible failure. Years ago canards OF
this sort were INDUCED In for the pur-
pose Of influencing stock market prices
but along with other methods open TO
criticism this one has become obsolete
and its revival met with a decided re-
buke by the New York Stock Exchange,
which Immediately took measures 10
check such rumors and TO reassure not
only Wall Street but the world at
large. Abroad the report was taken
seriously for a day. with result that
American shares were under pressure
and a reflection was cast on American
institutions.

Los Angeles, Aug. 11.-That femi-
nine beauty is not a matter Of cold
cream, cosmetics or athletics is the
opinion of Mrs. Walter Pomeroy OF
Los Angeles, who has been chosen to
represent: the state Of California in
the worlds beauty contest to be held
In September in Brussels, Belgium.
Mrs. Pomeroy says that she has nc
faith In the numerous popular sugges-
lions offered to solve the problems OF
how to be beautiful.
I'm my opinion, the beautiful wo.
man IL not the one who may have the
o perfect features. Even physical
beauty depends ultimately upon beau
tiful spiritual thoughts. Many wo,
men attach too much importance to
physical beauty.
Beauty is that which pleases the
esthetic sense, and W. love a beauti-
full woman as we love a beautiful flow
er, but it is neither beauty nor money
that brings happiness. If I am beau
tiful, 1t is merely the result Of circum-
stances. l grew in a beautiful gar
den and was protected and cared for

She has surrounded herself by

AVOID OBESITY: 1T is NOTHING
LESS THAN DEFORMITY.
(BY q MoNR1E.)

The moment a wornan becomes con-
scious that she is in a fair way of ac-
curing too, too solid flesh. then is the
signal for her to go into training if she
she would not become deformed, for
obesity is deformity and a foe to beau
ty. The woman who ever has a tend
ency to flesh has in the beginning a
better chance for beauty making than
the n who has not. For if she will
she can keep herself nicely rounded
and we'll shaped. while the thin person
mas a harder time Of it %concealing
bones and angles which will persist in

But, unfortunately, 1t is one of the
little p%erversities of nature that obesi-
ty Is the accompaniment of a phleg-
matte temperament which takes life
easy, scorns unnecessary exertion, and
INDUCES itself generally. So, instead
OF making an asset Of this tendency
lazily sit back and let disaster over
take them.
1t Is hard criticism. but a fat wo-
man cannot be really beautiful nor
altogether lovable, for the very pre-
ponderance Of flesh is the sign man

both in mind and body, and every
ounce beyond what is required to
round out her proportions is certainly
a menac to her good looks.

New York, Aug. 11.-Mrs. W. Gould

divorce from her husband and $751;

# the recommendation of ex-Judge
William H. Wadhams, who was APP
pointed referee in the suit, is accept
ed. He finds that Mrs. Brokaw is en-
titled to the decree and also to the
$4,000 formerly granted to her.
Brokaw has ceased hts efforts to
prevent his wife from getting a de-
cree. The referee found not only
that there vas sufficient proof of the
defendants misconduct, but that
Brokaw's counter claim for divorce,
accusing his wife Of improper con-
duct. was entirely unfounded.
The main contention at the hear
ings related to the payments de-
manded by Mrs. Brokaw for her
maintenance. She had obtained under
a decree of separation in 1910 an al
lowance of $4,000 a year. Brokaw
pleaded in the separation action that
he could not afford to pay so much,
owing to the impairment Of his in
ONE The same plea was advanced
in the divorce case.
Judge Wadhams thinks payments
should be continued at the old rate
