the following explanation Of the

of gold: Europe has been quiet
ly selling our securities for the
past two years, drawing down
our balances abroad to the van

minishing trade balance in our
foreign commerce, in addition to
which bank vaults are bulging
with idle funds which could not
find employment in the ordinary
channels of business.
In their last report on the con-
dition of the iron trade, Matthew
Addy & Co. of Cincinnati, say:
mo one in the iron trade is par
ticularly happy these days. We
are all trying to be as cheerful
as possible, but there is nothing
to arouse any real enthusiasm.
Judge Gary, who seems to occu-
py by universal consent the pos
ition of Dean of the Iron Trade,
says that every day brings us
one day nearer the time when
the tide will turn. That IS some

allegation to the contrary why

BEDROOM DESK MOST USEFUL
Some Remarkably Handsome Designs,
Though Expensive, Are Offered
to Prospective Buyers.

The bedroom desk fittings have al
ways been more or less of prob
lem, as the usual brass sets seem
little heavy for dainty pink or
blue chintz hung boudoir. This year
there are ivory colored sets of en-
ameled wood which have a latticed
pattern for the trimming which shows
a bit of a brownish cast through it..
They have more character than the
plain white sets. and yet add rather
than detract from the daintiness of
the room. Silver which matches eth
er the striped dresser silver or the
engraved patterns can be matched for
the desk fittings. Complete sets with
blotter, clock and all the many useful
and useless articles possibly run as
high as S175. The new clocks are
really lovely. They are shaped like
half an orange and lie fat on the desk
with the curved part up and holding
the face of the clock. One does in
stinctively look down when writing,
and it save tine instead of making
conscious effors to look at clock

of that favorite autumn plant.
