FINANCIAL RECORD
HERE AND ABROAD
Securities Firm, in Spite
of Disturbing Foreign
Developments.

News over night OF the sinking by n
German cruiser Of an American vessel
loaded with grain that was not shown
20 be destined for use of the armed
forces Of Germany's foes was in itself
enough 10 prevent any livelier trading
in securities yesterday. Our affairs in
Mexico also were further complicated
by receipt Of note from the Consti-
nationalist leader, which, while prom
Using aid 20 foreigners desiring TO
leave that country, was couched IN
rather impudent language. From Wash
ington Il was reported that the Presl-
dent considered our international diff
fculties so serious that he had can
celled engagements for the next three
weeks.
Though the stock market was quiet,
prices were maintained around final
levels Of Wednesday for standard
issues, and a number of industrial
specialties made spectacular advances.
Low priced stocks generally were
prominent. Automobile stocks in the
afternoon were advanced in striking
fashion. Such standard issues as
Reading, Steel. Pennsylvania, Erie and
Southern Pacific, Copper and st. Paul
ended the day q shade higher.
Eric common was particularly ee-
tive, accounting for the heaviest trad
ing in the list, after announcement
that $10OO0,OO0 8 per cent one-yesr
notes had been underwritten for sale.
These will be offered at 80, ana the
proceeds will be used to retire the re-
naming notes due the first Of next
month and reimburse the company for
oapital expenditures. The road has

The new state bond issue, which Is
being offered at 104A, less q to deal
ers. was reported in good demand. On
the Stock Exchange dealings In bonds
fell off to we'll under 100000 par
value. where, remembering the result
of last years successful state bond
sale. traders had looked for better
business. There has, however, been
good deal Of new financing this year,
and not all the bonds put out here
and taken back from Europe have yet
passed into the strong boxes OF in
vestors.
Though call money again renewed al
per cent, and funds for time loans
on collateral were offered at un-
changed rates, little frmer tendency
appeared in the money market. Mer-
camille paper generally did not % pass hS
under 9$i per cent ana purchasing pS
local banks was limited. Foreign ex-
change rates showed little change
sight drafts on London closing shade
higher than on the day before, while
rates on Berlin continued to advance;
The Bank of England sold G123,oO0
Of gold coin, making G674,O0O released

ment for imports here had reached the
market in business hours. The bank
set aside 100000 for Argentine &C,
count and bought s1,216,00O in gold
coin and bullion. The weekly return
showed drain Of gold reduced, the loss
amounting TO only about $4,000,
while total reserve increased. Deposit

~lany changes in the price of things. The
business girl, or most any girl for that
matter, likes to have a wrist watch, and
If you want pretty model and have no
time TO be tramping through the shops.
here are a few random notes on the sub
jCct:
A plain, fairly reliable model of watch
is made in silver, with a leather strap
around the wrist, selling at 81. for the
watch itself, and 50 cents for the holder
These are servicenble for year or so, at
least.
A sterling silver style, gOld-plaited, sells
for S. This has the usual open face, and
a gold-plated bracelet attached. II Is
very good looking at the price. and will
wear well if properly cared for. All wrist
watches get more strenuous service than
other kinds
A pretty twine-holder is seen in the
shops in different forms. Sometimes II is
a Spanish senOrita, whose wide-spreadlng
skirts shelter ball of brightly colored
twine underneath them; sometimes II is
a modern miss in street clothes of the
latest pattern At any rate, the novelty
makes a mighty welcome addition to mi
ady's bOudolr, especially when it comes
in colors. The prices are Sl.S9 and S225.

Ease in Conversation

"When in company 1 am always at n
loss to have something to say. Some
years ago | saw advertised book con-
cerning this matter. Do you know If
there is such a book to be had?
ANNA b."
have hazy recollection of having
seen or heard of such a manual. l as
suredly never took pains to read it, No
written or printed formula can teach one
how to converse easily. You. like thou
sands of others, are a sufferer from diff
dence. without agreeing fully with writ
ers who maintain that this Is but another
form Of vanity, l own that it arises in q
great measure from self-consciousness In
the first place, let me caution you against
indulging the inclination to avoid the So
ciety of your fellow beings. Force your
self to go into company. When there, try
to think Of something which will interest
them, and not of yourself This is the
main secret of victory over difidence
How is 1t that you always seem inter-
ested in what concerns your associates .?
