Not a Nation Of Sinners.

In this country. though we have pro
duced many fine voices, we have never
become nation of singers. There are,
it is true. in most of the leading cities.

large groups of people is comparative
ly uncommon among us. Here is a
matter for regret. for among all large
bodies OF singers where there has been
more or less training the effect Ia beau
tiful and inspiring. In fact. there are
few things in music more impressive
than the singing OF hundreds OF
voices.

Kitchen Tables.

Two tables in the kitchen lessen
work, one preferably uncovered to
be used for such rough work as pre-
pairing vegetables and meats and dish
ing up meals, the other for general
convenience. Close to the first, which
should be on castors but stand near
sink and stove, should be meat-block,
meat-saw, meat-knife, small cleaver,
food-chopper or bowl and chopping
knife, pairing knife, vegetable cutters,
skewers, basting spoons and such
other articles as are frequently used
1t this table.

pound allow three-quarters OF a pound
of sugar. Cut each peach into about
six pieces. Add just enough water
to moisten the sugar and melt it over

evidence no intention of following the

of plainness. They are adorned with
two buttons, like those en- the front,
but in smaller size.
A slit pocket is set in at each side.
And, since it would never do for peck
cts to be negligible this season, they
make opportunity for shaped bands,
applied about the slit and garniture
of four buttons, like those on the
the back of the collar.
The sailor hat and black-and-white

A bell-shaped black hat at the top
of the picture is perfect example of
popular type. 1t is of lustrous straw
trimmed with loops of taffeta ribbon
perched on top of the crown. Lac.
quered rose foliage covers part of the
crown, and springs up among the loops
of ribbon. This hat is all black ex-
cept for the large pink rose at one
side.
Lacquered or vanished flower and
foliage trimmings are immensely pop

transparent or with black lacquer.
Flowers treated with this lacquer look
as If made of fine porcelain.

1t be-that is the government estimate on December Il. It is quite possible that thls estimate will be under 100000 bales. If it should be, I look for one last bulge; and then l believe the edge is off the bull side for the present at least.
 My reason for so thinking is foremost, the state of the money market Reserves are lower today than they have been this year. This indicates that the elasticity or our currency is being stretched to nearly it's limit. This has already been reflected in security prices, and the dan ger signal has been displayed in high call money rates. The difficulty of f- nancing huge speculation in industrial stocks and at the same time providing for the financing of 20-cent cotton and Sl.@ wheat is becoming more and more apparent every day. In addition to this. 1t IS the time Of the year when inn mense dividend distribution has 10 be provided for. This strains the financial situation just that much more. True the dividends distributed will seek rel investment, but this will take sometime. and the money is not likely to come back until after the first of the year
 Considering these things, I am of the opinion the crest of the bull move in commodities, at least has been reached and l prefer sales of cotton and grain or the rallies to purchases on the breaks.

SELLING MOVEMENT
 SENDS PRICES DOWN
Cotton Market Opened at Advance, But Weakened
 at Late Trading

New York, December 1.-An early ad- vance was followed by renewed weakness in the cotton market today, with prices
 making new low ground for the move
 ment. May contracts sold off from 2099c to 20.55c, or 20 points from the closing figure of last Wednesday. and 1o5 points under the high record of last Monday
 morning. That delivery closed at 2o5ec,
 with the general list closing steady at a
 net decline of to 25 points; present crop deliveries being 2i to 9 points net lower The market opened steady at an ad- vance of Il to 19 points in sympathy with the firm ruling of Liverpool over the
 American holiday. Offerings were com raratively light after the heavy liquida- ton of the earlier week and the initial to 9 points net higher with Janusry sell ing at 2o56c and March at aOSoc. Houses with Liverpool connections were buyers and there appeared to be little demand from trade interests, but otherwise there was very little support in evidence and prices soon turned easier under renewal of Wall street and western liquiadtion. The appearance of this selling and the absence of aggressive support served to encourage operations for a reaction, and the selling became aggressive during the middle of the afternoon, although there appeared to be no change in the general character of the news. January broke to 20.07c and March to 20.3lc, with present crop deliveries selling about 24 to 31 points net lower. The decline was then checked by the realizing of early sellers and clos ing prices showed rallies of or points from the lowest. Business was very quiet during the earlier trading but be- came more active on the break late in the afternoon, when selling seemed to be promoted by weakness in the grain mar ket. A report from a local authority, is- sued before the opening, estimated the crop at 11,35670 bales. excluding hnters while there was another report which | made it 11,07l,00o bales, excluding lin- ters.
