Among minor bonds 2h point break

Weak Greater Part Of Week.
Liquidation and resultant weakness
prevailed during the greater part of
the week. The decline of New Haven
to the lowest price in its history was
followed by similar movement. mainly
in minor railway shares. whose f1nan-

well known.
Court decisions favoring Union Pacific

Gold exports appeared to have ceased

Conditions in the steel industry are
again somewhat confused. but the

regularity of prices.

WINDOW ENVELOP
WILL Be BARRED
To Be Mailable It Must, After
July 1, Conform to Ger
tain Regulations.

Some of the window envelopes
mails on and after July l. orders TO
this effect having been issued by the
postoftice department. The window
envelope, as is generally known, is
the kind with an opening or trans
parent panel in front through which
the address upon the enclosure is
disclosed. 1t has been adopted by
many business firms for convenience,
especially In mailing bills.
The objection the postal department
finds is that often the contents of the
envelope are shifted SO that the
address cannot all be read through the
opening. Often, also the transparent
paper is sometimes colored and causes
difficulty in reading the address.
In order TO be mailable after July !
such envelopes must have the opening
parallel with the length and shall not
occupy space within one and three
eighths inches OF the top or three
eighths OF an inch from the bottom.
The transparent paper must not be
colored and the envelopes must bear
the return address of the sender.
- Notice has been given by the postal
department OF the issuance of a new
design OF 1 cent postal card to be
known as No. and to take the place
OF the No. card. 1t is of the same
size as the No. 4, the color is cream
and It is printed in green ink. The
subject of the stamp is a profile por-
trait of Thomas Jefferson looking 10

trait Is open and surrounded with a
