1t was reported in London that this
gold shipment to New York has been
postponed for a week or so.
After a moderate reaction stock mar
ket turned firm and fairly active. Some
strength was derived from an ex-
pectation OF increase of railroad rates
and this would enable roads to under
take further development work, one ef-
feet Of which would be an increased de-
mand for rails and this has helped Steel
also.
The Attorney Generals opinion on the
per- cent discriminating clause In the
tarin bill in favor of American ships
has not yet been submitted to the Presi-
dent. The Attorney General has only
discussed the matter in a general way
with President Wilson and that was
over week ago. 1t is quite likely the
opinion will be discussed at the White
House either today or tomorrow. The
report that II will practically void the
clause cannot be verified. but that seems
to be the prevailing opinion in well in
formed circles.
There has been withdrawn from the
subtreasury 100000 in gold coin for ship
ment to Canada.

Cigar Stores interests and, the Riker-

upon by the Department of Justice
II is understood that the matter has
been before the Attorney General for a
number of weeks and that there is strong
likelihood that a decision will be rendered
within the next fortnight Big interests
OF the drug store chain are said TO be
entirely satisfied with the tentative terms
offered-terms made with the proviso that
the action shall meet with the approval
Of Mr.. McReynolds.
This matter is not one that would gen.
orally necessitate any action by the De-
partment of Justice-or at least Is not
one that, as a straight business PROPOSE

department. The Attorney General is not
put in ofice to give his opinion on such
matters, but II they do not meet with his
approval. II is strictly up TO him to inves-

ton he receives.
But the United Cigar Stores Company Is
a distinct part OF the old Tobacco Trust.

of trade. and its integral parts ordered

ton. the big retail tobacco company Is
strictly under the jurisdiction Of the Su-
preme Court and the Department of Jus

Of the United Cigar Stores are privileged
to call upon the Department of Justice
for their opinion, In this connection 1t
may well be stated that the United Cigar
Stores Company Is in a fortunate position.

"Vestings are very good style Also
Mr.. Marino continued Many of the

soonest trimmings of vestings and collar

As to the length of slSirts?' I asked.
The short walking skirt is no longer

Judge of what is most becoming but all

SO Indefinitely that it is difficult to dis

should say that duh, pastel tones are the
dominant note Of this seasons tailor ma
