The Sargent Decorations

Tho Boston Museum Is about to issue
two pamphlets devoted to the decoration

They have been prepared BY Thomas
A. Fox, the architect who assists Mr..
Sargent In the installation OF the decora-
lions. and no one Is better fitted to speak
Of the problems of the undertaking.

feet of Rousseau's dancers, rhythm
rs undeniable, It is not too much to
say, as that Of the "Nlarseillaise."
Now that several million of our young
men have had recent opportunities to
study what goes on in all French viii
lagos and towns on the evening of the
2 Fourteenth OF July there would no
doubt be more certain response to
Rousseau's picture could it be shown
here again. --
Most OF Rousseau's pictures, how
ever, are not so easy as the. "Quatorze
Juliet" They require a certain amount
of mental adjustment upon the part
OF the beholdor, particularly II the be-
holder be an experienced appraiser of
art. Experienced appraisers OF art are
not quite used to such soul reveal
n1ents as they get from Rousseau.
Rousseau fuses them as much as
Blake did before him. He Is even worse
for them than Blake was, since no is
not particularly pious. The tempta-
ton distinctly is to laugh at Rousseau.
After q time, when the readjustment
finally occurs. one laughs tctth Rous-
seau. When that arrives the critic al
most loves best those Rousseau pic
lures at which he has laughed most
such as lie Present ct 10 Passee," IN
which Rousseau and his wife. who
were widowcr and widow when they
married, arc depicted with their late
spouses appearing undisturbingly in
the clouds above them. 1t is an ador-
able picture. but many authorities only
see that 1t is quaint.
The late r. j. Coady, editor Of the
SOD. was one of tho first to champion
Rousseau in America, and he was a
sturdy champion. He showed some
canvases in his Washington Square
Gallery. and later on. up Fifth ave-
nue.. Mr.. de Zayas in his Modern Gal
lcry also gave some Rousseau exhi-
billions. and now Mr.. Bourgeois Has
taken Rousseau on. His Jungle" pic
ture is ono OF those painted by the
artist, believe. after his return from
Mexico. 1t is SO early, I'm feeling, that
is-is almost Pliocene. 1t has tha~new-
ness of some Of the first Biblical
scenes, but It does not point any OBJ
vious moral. "A lion chews upon n
crocodile, that's all, but the lion is a
very fine lion. and the background is
magnificently decorative.

BIG CHILEAN ISSUE
SOLD IN BOND LULL
Prices Go Lower in Spotty
Market-Utilities and For
eigns Divide Sales.

Il =
THOSE who, are impatient to see bond
prices turn upward again were disap-
! pointed at the action OF tho market
1 last week. The expected recovery in
listed bonds did not occur mainly be-
cause of lack of investment demand
and not because of any heavy liquida-
ton. Sales of bonds in the New York
| Stock Exchange were considerably
smaller and prices at the end of the
week were generally lower.
| Except for isolated instances the dis
tribution of new bonds was not as rapid
| as could be desired The market for
new issues could be termed spotty, with
some bankers reporting business good
and others finding cause for complaint.
One of, the largest new issues of the
week. however, the s1s,O00.000 Republic
OF Chile per cent. 20 year bonds. was
| said to have been a great success
| The success of the Chilean loan
showed that the demand from investors
| is still good and that bankers with
courage enough to test the market find
little cause for complaint. Those who
lack confidence in the bond market at
this time are in the majority and the
tendency is to hold back all new
/
investment situation is less cloudy.
In the next few weeks the bond mar
ket is expected to back and fill around
present levels. Toward the middle OF
! December q change for the better is
! likely to occur according to the best
authorities. as the year-end reinvestment
demand sets in. That the sums of
money returned to investors in the form
of dividends and interest will be some
what larger this year is generally be-
| lieved, as during this year large num-
Der OF industrial corporations were en-
abled by the Improvement in business
to return their securities to dividend
basis. The reinvestment of these funds
is likely to stimulate the bond market
at the beginning of the new year.
1t is not denied by investment au-
thorities. however, that corporations still
have lot of bonds to sell. These pros
pective sellers are not likely to force
their holdings on a declining market. but
nevertheless seize upon all rallies to
unburden themselves
The future Of the bond market, of
course. depends largely on the course
OF the money market. A point that must
not be overlooked is the heavy imports
of gold expected in the next few
months. 1t Is no secret that England
intends to ship as much gold to this
country as she can, on the theory that
the quickest way to cure this country IS
gold lust is to crafty it's desire to the
utmost
If this gold keeps pace with the
growth Of business. filling the credit
need as it arises, it will be useful but

curities are likely to decline, bankers
say, as interest rates rise
The total Of new bond issues for
the week was approximately $63.000, 900,

| uted between the public utility and for
eign departments. The largest public

The German financial structure was
further shaken by the visit of tho Rep

Although the Reichsbank issued the
fantastic amount of $4,000. 900, 900 marks

the total circulation is still low in COM

is the decision by the banks to transact

rising unemployment. Labor organiza-
