leading stocks being the same as on
last Saturday.
Good buying OF steel common to-
day was the most important feature
Of week OF dullness. The market
marked time pending announcement
from the interstate commerce COM
mission Of the rate decision and some
decided turn in the Mexican mediation
proceedings. The undertone, however,
was good and the tone OF the market
particularly optimistic towards the
close today. Announc sment at Wash
ington that President Wilson intends
to push anti trust legislation was
about what was expected and already
had been discounted as a speculative
factor. While no pronounced improve
ment in mark 1t conditions is expect
ed in the near future, general dull
ness this week was due largely to the
failure OF the rate decision to arrive.

several wives, the general says:
Every mother has her own retinue

an odalisque becomes mother. she is
served and waited upon practically
