If a flower or two is placed on the
tray it adds greatly to the invalid's
pleasure.
In case Of contagious diseases it is
an excellent plan to use paper doilies
and paper napkins that can be burned
Immediately. There are many shapes
and sizes of paper dishes also avail
able If one cares to buy, saving the
washing and disinfecting of dishes.
When serving hot dish of any kind
1t should reach the patient piping hot
and if the dish is an ice or a cold one
it should be cold.
There is nothing more distasteful
even to well person than a hot dish
served lukewarm or a frozen dish half
melted.
All gruels and cereals served to an
invalid should be long and well cooked.
Dried fruits should be soaked overnight
and cooked until soft. Prune juice,
orange juice and many lightly sweet
ened juices are all suitable to give to
the sick. Toast water. given when d.
gestion is weak. is very helpful Ia in
.ducing an appetite for more nourishing
foods, as is beef extract. Fresh butter
milk, junket koumlss and clabbered
milk are all most valuable to give va

and the dish will look so pretty thai

THE COTTON MARKET
Light Trading INDUCED in and
Changes Are Small.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1T.-There was
no special feature to the market the
greater part OF the sessions Light
trading was INDUCED I'm, and price
changes were correspondingly small.
Political conditions were regarded a.
a trife improved, but the delicate
situation involving our country ana
the Teutonic allies still prevails and
speculation is naturally in abeyancs
The weekly trade reviews were or
a mixed tenor. War orders for the
American Government are helping to
swell the production of cloths. on
the other hand, Fall River quotes
lower prices for print cloths.
The Liverpool market, As usual,
held no session today. Foreign trad
ing in our market was of negligible
proportions. The opinion is that
stpaddIe commitments will be further
reduced next week. The amount or
cotton on shipboard not cleared ap-
proximates $1,000 bales against 1885,
900 last year, and suggests light eN-
ports for the next few weeks at least.

WASHINGTON GAS C0NTIN-
UES TO BE FEATURE.
Two More Points Added to That
Security When Odd Lots
Bring 7s-Six Full Points
Have Been Added to Its
Stock During Week-No
News to Account for Upward
Trend, But Demand Remains
Good.

Two more points were added to the
new high for Washington Gas stock
at today's session of the Washington
Stock Exchange, when odd lots
brought as. quotation lots sold al
77%, and TTIs was strongly bid for
the stock at the close.
Today's sales make the net gain
for Washington gas stock during the
week @ full points, something most
unusual, when 1t is remembered that
gas stock has been averaging be-
tween IL and 72 since the reduction
of the price of gas by Congress last
fall.
There has been no news to account
for the sudden upward trend of the
stock, but it is evident that there is
excellent demand. The stock opened
today with the sale of FIVE shares at
a., which was followed by another
odd lot at 77Ia, and twenty shares at
as. This was followed by forty more
shares, in odd lots, at from TTl5 ito
as, and a quotation lot at TN. In
all 100 shares of the stock changed
hands.
A total of fifty shares OF Capital
Traction stock sold at S315 and S3S
The stock closed with SO bid and S3&
asked. Ten shares OF Railway, pre-
ferred. brought SLY, and after call
an additional share sold at the game
figure. A lot of 100 shares OF Bank
of Commerce and Savings stock, the
first traded in for some time, sold at
II, which is the same as the ;i Ice at
which the stock last sold.
Bonds were easier, with Capital
Traction SIS particularly weak. A
81 900 bond sold during call at 106, ard
after call $1,000 more sold at log and
104A. Potomac Consolidated Us sold
to the extent of $4,000 worth at 100 n
A 81 900 Railway sold at SO15.
Activity OF the local market during
,the last three days brought the total
transactions for the week well abCve
that for several weeks past. The rec
ord shows hat $50 shares of stock
changed hands and that the total
turnover in bonds was $50, 400.

LITTLE ANIMATION REGIS
TERED IN TODAY'S SESSION
Shipping List Improves With
Safe Traverse of Submarine
Zone by American Steamer
PhiIadeIphia-Sugar Issues
Strong, for Most Part-little
Improvement in the Railroad
Shares.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-There was
sion of the stock market. The only
activity apparent was supplied by the
covering operations OF the short in
terest, which impaired a firm tone
to the general list
Improvement in the shipping situa-
tion reflected in the safe traversal of
the submarine zone by the American
steamship Philadelphia, and other in
cidents of a cheering nature, caused a
considerable show OF strength in the
Mercantile Marine and Atlantic Gulf
issues
Great Britain imported over double
the amount of wheat in the first week
Of February than a year ago. Aside
from American Beet Sugar, the issues
in the sugar group were also strong.
Numerous specialties. National Enam-
cling and Stamping and the like,
made a good showing, and there was
no little improvement displayed by
the railroad list, although business in
that department was very light.
Buying by the shorts carried New
Haven up more than a point, and
Union Pacific, Reading. and New York
Central were in relatively good de-
mand.
There were at intervals spurts of
activity due doubtless to the desire of
traders to cover their commitments
over the week end. Prices advanced
sharply in these brief movements,
with frequent tendencies to ease of
again.
In the late trading advances OF one
to three points or more were recorded
in the steel, copper, munitions, and
equipment issues, with particular
strength sustained in the Mercantile
Marine shares. Bonds were firm, but
not especially active. Anglo-French
SIS again moved forward through o.
Cotton was firm. Grain markets were
steady.
Wall Street was little affected by the
news of the day. Although every
thing seems to point to an ultimate
break with Germany, despite the reas-
suring influence of the release of the
Yarrowdale crew, such a contingency
has been pretty well discounted.
The war decision now seems to
center around the project of arming
American merchantmen. The rail
road situation still occupies much at
tention. The trade journals state
that the country's business continues
to be large despite embargo re-
Strsints.
Great enthusiasm is reported in
London over the success of the war
loan, the total of subscriptions to
which are now estimated at from
S3.500. 100000 to $4,000, ,OOO. 900. Money
over there is quoted n of l per cent
lower, which fact Is likely to influ-
ence the withdrawal of American
. funds from London banks with the
gradual stiffening OF money rates on
this side. Foreign exchange was
quiet and not much changed. Spot
pig-iron and coke are in heavy de-
mand because of railroad congestion.
The copper market is quiet but in
quiries continue in large volume.
Bank ,clearings this week disclosed a
decline of per cent from the same
week last year.

High Copper Prices.

II is necessary to go back to 1872
to find a better price for copper than
that now reported. Prior to- 1872
prices for copper were under the pre-
sailing level, with the exception Of
the quotations of civil war days, when
a high of % cents was recorded, the
Dcst in the history of the trade.
Walkers copper letter points out that
there is a doubt existing quite gener-
ally of the ability of the worlds con-
sumer's to absorb, after peace is re-
stored, the enormous volume of COP
per now being produced. 1t Is i'm
probable that they will be called upon
TO do so, however, since the abnormal
increase in production last year was
in response to the sharp rise in price,
and any drop in prices would tend to
curtail production.
