SUNS WEEKLY REVIEW

TRIES SLACk--NEws FROM
GOVERNMENTAL CENTERS

NEW YORK. March 2a.-The
Suns weekly review OF the financial
situation tomorrow viii say:
That speculation is dead is one Of
the tru,sms Of The day. An markets
where speculation IS won't to play a
part are more or less inert for the
lack Of it. The same situation shows
itself in general business, which IS
almost void Of its customary speeu-
lative content represented by antici-
patfons OF future demand that spells
profit.
There are those persons in large
number who profess TO see in the alb
sence OF speculation proof OF the
soundness Of economic conditions, and
are rather inclined "a regard the stag
nation Of the speculative markets Of
the world as a very excellent thing
in Itself
Speculative activity Is the usual ex-
preston OF tho spirit Of enterprise.
Some day. perhaps not far off. specq-
lation viii revive. unless private cap
ital Is to be abolished, but the revival
will testify 10 a now stirring Of en-
terprise generally. There Is no xpecu-
latfon today because there is no new
enterprise. Capital is not seeking
employment in the development OF
resources and equipment for the in
creased production and distribution OF
wealth.
In our own country there IL more
idle labor than in years and more
slackness of trade and industry
Prices on which business has to re
done are eakening. In most diree-
tons the hope OF the business COM
munity for Improvement Of volumes
and values Is still deferred
Political Developments
A suggestion of the reason for all
this Is contained in the enormous alb
sorption Of attention. not with the
routine of prosperous endeavor or
preparation therefor. but with the dis
cussion Of social and political ques-
tions. Tho news which weighs on AL
minds comes from governmental cen
iers. Nor is II only in the United
States that this is the case. British

New York. Sept. 19.-This city. II
is becoming apparent, may shortly
wrest from Paris the dictatorship
concerning feminine dress fashions.
For a number OF years the impress
sion has been growing here that
New York. instead Of relying on
Paris for It's fashions IL easily capa-
BILE Of originating her own and bet
ter ones. Now apparently this city
is TO have q chance to prove her abil-
ity in this line. One Of the largest
merchants in this city. who returned
from abroad since the beginning Of
the war. is strongly Of the opinion
that the stoppage Of importations In
this country will bring about the su-
premacy OF American created fash
ions in dress. In fact he goes 20 far
as to say that New York will usurp
the place which Paris has occupied
in the world Of fashion. and that
America eventually should be able to
clothe the world. "The result Of the
war;" says he. Twill be that we in
New York shall make our own styles
and thus give employment to our ere
ative artists by producing even bet
ter styles than ever seen here be-
fore for the exclusive benefit Of
American taste. I am simply amaz-
ed at the marvellous progress we have
already made in the manufacture of
women's garments" Whether the
magic of a Paris label can eventually
be overcome remains to be seen. but
the fact remains that the conditions
for which Partisan styles are created
are found to only small extent in
this country. and that. for that rea-
son. the recent styles created here
should have every expectation Of pop
ularity.

DILLON AFTER
SCALP OF BRAKE

Denver, Colo, Sept. 19.-Thomas
F. Dillon who for four years has been
deputy secretary of state. quit tina t
office recently. Mr.. Dillon says he
resigned. Secretary of State Pearee
says that he fired him. Dillon says
that Pierce demanded that he, Dill
Ion, should back Brake in the coming
campaign and he refused to do SO.
Pearce says that he demanded that
Dillon come back to work and earn
his salary. At any rate Dillon is no
longer on the job. Both Dillon and
Brake were candidates for nomina-
tion for secretary of state. Brake
was successful and Dillon gave out
the statement that he had been
flim-flammed out of the office and
intended to run independent.
Dillon wrote Pearce letter stat
ing that rather than support Ed
Brake for secretary lie would re-
sign which he therefore did. Pearce
acknowledged that he received the
letter but said he had fired Dillon
before receiving it. Pearce said: II
did not demand that Dillon supper,
Brake. / did demand that after he
had been defeated in the primary
that he come back to the office and
go to work. Both Dillon and Brake
had been out campaigning for four
months. Had both been defeated I
would have told both to come back

COLORADO SPRINGS WATERSHED
TO HAVE NEW FOREST COvEH

A crew of forty men under the su-
2ervision OF forestry officials. have
begun planting operations on the
Colorado Springs watershed. This
announcement is made following the
arrival at Cascade, headquarters Of
the planting camp, of carload of
nursery stock from the government
nursery at Monument. There are
275.0OO engleman spruce and douglas
fir trees, from two to three years old,
in the shipment. all of which are to
be planted on burned-over areas at
the higher elevations on Pixies peak.
According to forestry officials, 1t
is planned to restock about four hun
dred acres before snow flies. The
work is a continuation of that be-
gun last spring. at which time eight
hundred acres were planted at some
Of the lower elevations with yestern
yellow and Austrian pine trees. The
object Of the work, 1t is said, Is to
establish a forest cover which will
guarantee plentiful supply of water
from these portions of the watershed
once supporting beautiful forest.
but which in recent years have been
denuded by fires.
The area covered by the planting
operations is portion of that re-
served by congress last spring for
the protection of the water supply of
Colorado Springs and Manitou. 1t is
estimated that about 5000 acres
must be restocked before the water
shed can develop an effective forest

After the longest suspension in
trading in securities which this city
has ever known. steps have now been
taken looking to the resumption Of
such trading In limited way. While
no one can make any certain predic-
tion as to how long tire stock ex-
change will remain closed, seven
bond houses have announced that
limited operations in bonds under
the control OF a committee represent
ing all of them would be sanctioned.
Limited as trading will necessarily
be, 1t still means much to the brok-
ers who for weeks have ,bsen prac-
tically without income from their
business. The transactions, Of course.
will be narrowly confined but the es-
Establishment Of the committee and the
resumption of trading is looked upon
as most favorable sign. The prin-
cipal purpose, 1t ia said. will be to
provide a way to take care Of large
maturities Of municipal and corpora
tion short time notes and bonds. The
chief work of the committee will be
to see that there Is no disturbance
of the loan situation and that prices
are kept practically unchanged from
the closing. OF course. a general
market is still out of the question
since dealings will be over the count
CT with established customers of the
houses represented on the commit
tee Bargain hunters will be dis
couraged. There is no idea, more
over, of sending out statesmen to stir
up business. at least under the pres
ent plan. the purpose being merely
to allow those who wish to pur-
chase securities or sell them at the
prices at which they closed on the
last day of operations on the stock
exchange, or perhaps a little lower,
| to do so. Limited as the trading
must be under these restrictions, 1t
nevertheless is significantly regard
ed as an opening wedge after weeks
of stagnation in dealing in securi-
ties.
A good many members OF the male
sex will find at least one pleasing
result in connection with the Euro
pean war. This is what the peren-
NAL derby hat, for which no excuse
has ever been found, may be difficult
lor even impossible to purchase this
winter. Already New Workers are
planning to extend the time limit on
the straw hat, and 1t is not beyond
the range of possibility that some of
these may be worn even until
Christmas. Practically everything
that goes into the construction of a
derby hat, to say nothing Of the vel
lour and some other kinds of head
gear, is imported. This applies not
only to the rabbits fur from which
the hat is woven but to dyes, shellac
for stiffening, trimmings of bands
and braids and even sweatbands. One
large imported here believes that
the supply of furs for the manufac-
|ture of hats now on hand will not
last more than three months. While
on the other hand. the manufacturer

ually come to wool hats and these
lof light colors, because Of the lack
of dyes. to give them the sombre
tones now most generally effected.
At any rate the derby will have few

something new to take its place.
