NEW YORK, March 18-Nothing of

as dull and highly professional an at
fair as has been seen thus far this
year. Price movement was irregular
much of the time, although soon after
the opening, the market became
strong and pr'ses move up fraction.
ally above yesterday. On this move
ment, a little outside support de-
veloped, but 1t was not broad enough
to suggest any definite Change in ten
dency, and within an hour there was
a general decline in prices. Tits
was brought about in part by the
heavy selling of Lehigh Valley stock
on rumors that the department of JUS
tice was going to give out statement
touching its attitude towards the an
thracite coal roads. Reading was
only partially affected by this rumor.
The market was heavy during the af-
ternoon and in the last hour many &C.
tive shares sold fractionaily below

UNWRITTEN LAW
WILL BE DEFENSE
France Expects Political UpheavaI as
Result Of Shooting Of
Editor.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
PARIS, March 1S.-Out of the mix
ture of women and political tragedy
came the almost positive assurance
today that France will r,,dergo an
ordeal second only to that incident
to the Dreyfus trial, when Nine. Gail.
laux, wife of the former minister OF
finance, is placed on trai for the
murder of CASTOR Calmette, editor OF
the Figaro.
Fairly overshadowing the present
political situation is the certainty
that the defense will be the unwrit-
ten law. Maitre Labori, one of the
most noted attorneys In ..rnnce, has
agreed to defend Nine. Caillaux. for
the sake Of humanity" He was a
friend of Calmette but said the fact
that the accused was a woman and
without friends led him to accept her
case.
With such defense as Is planned,
efforts will be directed toward show
ing justification for the Staying of
Calmette by Nine. Caillaux in defense
of her own name and to shield her
daughters. The airing of political
intrigues and the shaking of the en-
tire administration is promised by the
fight that will be made to save Nine.
Cailluax.
Magistrate Boucarn has charge of
the case against Nine. Caillaux, but
the first hearing will probably not be
called before next week.
A big demonstration by the roy
alists is expected Friday when the
funeral Of Calmette is held. Arthur
Meyer, a royalist leader, draws a.
parallel between the shooting of Cal
mette and the Staying Of Victor Noir,
noted journalist, by Prince Pierre
Bonaparte in 1870 in an article pub
lished today.
Feeling was still extremely bitter
against Nine. Caillaux and the form
er minister today. In an editorial the
Figaro denies that the published per
sonal letter which led to the tragedy
was addressed to Nine. Caillaux as
she declared. 1t is also denied that
Calmette possessed letters written by
Caillaux to the beautiful woman now
in custody before they were married.
One report today was that the let
ter was in reality addressed to Nine.
Dupre, former wife of Caillaux. The
letter was written before Nine. Du-
pre- became Caillaux's wife. Not in
years have the lines between the var
ious political factions stood out in
such relief as following the Calmette
tragedy.

MID WINTER ADVERTISING.
Every Advertisement Closely Scann-
ed This Time of Year for Cnex-
pected Bargains.

To the man who follows the ad-
vertising and real estate trade game
for a period of years, the buying
public resolves itself largely into two
classes. First, there are the people
who buy when they feel like it, or
run short of articles, without much
system. Second, those who watch
the local trade market as keenly as
the buyer of manufacturing con-
cern watches the commercial papers.
That may take time, but it's
scientific buying. The canny house
wife knows that in the month of
January, the. merchant is up against
the proposition of reducing stocks.
Not all his ventures have succeeded.
He aid not expect them to. Some
,hances must be taken. Irregulari-
les in weather and caprices of popu-
pr taste have left parts of his stock
psold. He must do one of two
hings. Carry stock over, borrow
Z oney to hold it, pay heavier insur-
ance, take chances of style changes
or deterioration, or cut his prices.
The majority of the merchants
cut prices regularly during the lat
ter half of the winter, to meet these
conditions. The scientific house
buyer makes the bulk of the winter
purchases during this period. What
is not needed this season will be use
full another winter.
This trade is mostly reached
through advertising. Every adver-
tisement at this time of year is close
ly scanned, not merely with the cas-
ual hope of some unexpected bargain
that may fit in some time, but in pur-
suance with settled policy of buy
ing in the lowest market.
AS it takes too much time to run
around the stores and see what the
merchants are doing, the public wat
ches the newspapers, and visits the
places that have made known their
bargains. January is peculiarly a
month when the newspaper is a di-
rectory of economy. The people who
don't read the store advertising miss
chances to keep the cost of living
down
