GOTHAM MARKET
Turns SPOTTY
Irregularity Of Prices Follows
Recent General Rally
in Stocks.
WAR SPECIALTIES HEAVY
Peace Talk Becomes Serious Factor
With Spectators. Railroad Shares
Receiving More Attention.

New York, May 9-In the further Sc
quel to the violence of the recent rally
the stock market today became a some
what confusing and not particularly sig
ntfcant conflict Of dealings in which pro-
fessiOnal speculative activities obviously
played A large part.
The natural result OF the swift uptuTn
since last Friday morning was to put a
set of technical factors at work for con-
Trajectory and even reaCtiOnaTy price
changes Combined with these influences
was the disconCertinE effect of adverse
sideration connected with occurrences in
the field of international politics.
Under the circumstances the share list
might have displayed general weakness
without furnishing a cause for surprise.
The course Of prices was instead more
irregular than downward. the most in
terestinC phenomenon being persistent
preference OF BUYERS for the railroads
and other descriptions constituting the So
called peace stocks and Of sellers for the
war stocks.
Peace talk was more A factor within
the operations Of professional traders
than any other matter connected with
the situation outside the market
Transactions in stocks were on a slight
iy reduced scale Of activity, but the SEES
sion was made up of intervals Of COM
pIrauve dizziness and bursts of somewhat
feVerlsh animation Rails and standard
industrials held enough of an additional
advance to show moderate average of
gain AZ the close. but war time spccialties
were distinctly heavy.

1t is a good idea to buy an extra yard or so of the material selected for a tailored suit, in order that the coat or skirt, or both, may be altered and the suit remodeled. Good fabrics out last styles, and suit is often regret fully consigned to the discard, not be- cause it is worn but because styles have changed since it was made.
 A suit that is required to do more than one seasons service without any alteration should be conservative in style. A plain skirt of medium full ness, and 8 box coat or one of the plain, semifitted models, if we'll made of good material and fine finish, is never out of the running.
 A good model to follow in remaking a suit is shown in the picture given here. The skirt is made with an in- verted panel set in at the back and front, and narrow skirt may be wid- ened by the addition of such panels. Another good plan for widening mar row skirt is to split it up at each side to the swell Of the hip. Here 1t is

STARR MONOGRAPH,

It is with fine appreciation of the present progress of the photograph and a careful consideration of the prestige which the starr Piano cons Eany has, for fifty years, SO consis-! .tently built up, that we announce, such an addition to the starr produce. Tone, which should be the preemin- cnt quality of all things musical. has heretofore unfortunately been ne- elected in the photograph. It bs1 fooved someone, therefore. knowing the problems of tone and their solu- tion, to develop it as "a musical in- strument. It is certain no firm is better fitted to assume this task: no firm has broader experience, more thorough knowledge or possesses more efficient facilities than tho Starr piano company. In this we lead you to expect something differ ent, something superior to that which has preceded, The Starr phonograph will interest you, if for mo other reason than as revelation of the musical possibilities of photographic reproduction.

trimmed to form a yoke, and an extra piece is set in at each side by shir- ring or plating it to the yoke. The fashion for short skirts help make the way easy in altering them, and bor- ders at the bottom and bands set on are useful for the same purpose.
 Coats have been brought up to date this season by the addition of full skirts, set on at the waist line, and by belts and pockets made in the new mode. A collar and cuffs in another fabric help out in the transformation, and buttons supplement these with the smartest of finishing touches.
 It is a great satisfaction to con- vert an old style into new one. Whether one is compelled to be eco- nomical or not remade suit made of good cloth adds variety to the ward robe and admits of the exercise of the individual taste in design.
