r. ASHIONS change by process
of evolution. The survival of
the f1ttest and the elimination
Of the unfit take place in the
natural history of clothes even
more obviously than in the history OF
plant and animal life. Now is the
time-during July and August--when
these evolutionary processes are most
potent. Adaptation and elimination
are everywhere going on.
During the short days and the long
nights of the Winter the great de-
signers We're working out new ideas
for women's Spring and Summer
clothes. They were making guesses
concerning what women would like to
wear and would find convenient to
wear six months later The changes
in fashions that were manifested In
the frocks and wraps and hats they
produced might be compared to the
natural variations that the old-time
evolutionists talked so much about.
Later, when buyers and manufac-
turers began to buy models from the
great dressmakers. the selective pro-
cess was beginning. 1t continued
when the women themselves made
their selections. 1t was not until

WHEAT HAS SETBACK
AFTER EARLY CLIMB
Liquidating Sales Have Depressing
Effect on Values in Chicago
Trading Today.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December S.-Liuuidat-
ing sales ascribed to the leading hold
er of December wheat contracts here
had a depressing effect on wheat
prices today after an early display
of strength. The selling disclosed
that the wheat market as whole
was without any aggressive support
for at least the time being Indica-
tions of export purchases of 100000
bushels of hard Winter wheat at the
gulf with premiums up about cents
had no lasting effect on values.
Word of persistent good demand
for nearby deliveries of wheat at
Liverpool attracted notice today
among traders here. In this cOnnec-
ton, less optimism was expressed
that ice obstacles to the passage of
wheat-laden vessels from Canada
would be quickly removed In some
quarters current talk was to the eff.
feet that a week of higher tempera-
lures would be needed to restore YES
sci conditions to a status equal TO
when the ice blockades began.
Meanwhile some advices TO-DAY
from Argentina said heavy rains were
not only causing delay to harvest
operations. but We're also damaging
wheat. Other reports, however.
stated that Argentine shippers were
offering wheat more plentifuIly for
January, and that the quality Of
wheat in northern Argentina is very

HOLD FIRM
IN BOND MARKET
Vigorous Advance Not Con-
tinued-Trasury Announc-
ment Without Effect.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK. December S.-Whie
bond prices for the most part held
firm today, the vigorous advance OF
yesterday was not continued. This
was hardly surprising in view of the
fact that the average for domestic is
sues touched the highest point in 10
years in the preceding session. and
that for the foreign group was only
slightly below its best, reached on De
cember T.
Announcement that the Treasury's
December Is financing would consist
of only $500, ,000, 900 of 3L per cent GER
tificates of indebtedness maturing i'm
nine months was without effect upon
the market for Government bonds.
The amount was less than had been
expected and the rate was fully as
low, but it indicated no real change in
the situation.
Bankers believe that the next long
term offering will carry n 312 per cent
coupon, which would be the lowest
since the first Liberty loan.
Features of the trading today We're
confined to individual issues. Among
industrials International Mercantile 6s
were again prominent. crossing SO To
the highest OF the movement, appar-
emily on more buying for account Of
the company. If the bonds can be
accumulated in the open market it
would obviously be cheaper than cal.
ing them for redemption. Local trac-
tions were steady. the deferrinE ot
the dividend on Manhattan RAILWAY
stocks being without effect on the
bond list. Oil obligations held their
own well also. In the sugars Manat.
712s made the best showing.
Belgian bonds held the gains of the
day before, among foreign issues, but
did little more, while the German Is
which had made new high for all
time, sold off fractionally. On the
other hand, more interest was taken
in the German provincial and mum
cipal issues. Berlin 612s and Bremen
Is being especially favored
Montevideo Is sold below their best.
although on basis they are cheaper
than the new Montevideo 6s offered
today. The as are .callable at par in
ten and half years. and tn yield 6.5H
per cent they would have to sell at
1O3A, whereas todays price was
points under that figure. Poland s.
were in demand again and French

TREND IRREGULAR
IN STOCK MARKET
Declines Not important Nor
Result of UnfavorabIe
Outside News.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December S.-The
stock market today pursued very
irregular course Such declines as oc-
Cured in parts of the list were not
4nportant nor were they the result
ST anything unfavorable in the out
Side news.
The steel trade reviews reported a
further letdown with more of a re-
duction in mill activity probable dur
ing the course of the month. But this
was nothing that Wall street had not
long been aware of.
The market was unsettled for two
reasons related to it's inside position.
The first was that there had been
enough G a rise earlier in the week
among individual stocks to justify a
reaction. The second was that pro
feSsional interests realized that their
efforts so far to attract outside sup
port were not succeeding very well.
Certain groups were better sustain
ed.than others. Some fresh buying ap-
peared in the low priced automobile
stocks, in one or two OF the sugars
and in a few of the oils. The jump in
Jordan Motors was a further response
TO the statement attributed yesterday
to the president of the company that
its business outlook was very promlS-
ing. Probably it was the action OF
Jordan Motors that more than any
thing else disturbed the short interest
IN other motor shares. The Chandler
issues were higher and so was Moon,
while WillyS-Overland, at one stage,
was up point. Hudson Motors, above
49, was selling nearly 8 points above
The seasons low. Here, too, the shorts
were apparently nervous.
Cuba Cane sugar issues were ac-
lively bought for a, while. Partly, this
was the result of sharp advance on
yesterday in raw sugar futures, the
greater part of this advance being re-
tained today.
The market for the oils was not
affected by the temperance of heavy
selling in Standard Oil of New Jersey.
At it's low this stock was off some
points from where it stood at the time
the new financial plan was announced.
TEXAS Co. was notably firm.
In the later trading other members
of the sugar group Joined in the ad-
vance. South Porto Rico made
new top for the year. United Fruit,
after having been lower at the start,
came back.
The discussion of a possible in
crease in the Great Northern pre-
ferred dividend was confined to high
~ speculative quarters. More con-
Servation observers were not so ready
to admit the basis for this gossip.
Still, Great Northern preferred was
conspicuously strong again. as it has
been right along, and its action at
tracted more attention because the
rise was not part of any general
movement in the railway section.

u. S. COTTON REPORT
Believed BULLISH
Market Goes Up Instead of Down
on Receipt of Government
Estimate Today.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December S.-F'or the
first time in months, the receipt of
the Governments report on the cot
ton crop failed to cause any uneasi-
ness in the New York cotton market
today and the initial response to the
publication of the figures was actual
ly bullish.
Prices advanced approximately "a
cent pound as buying was infiuenc-
ed by the fact that the estimated
yield of 1S.61S,000 bales and the De
cember l ginning figures of 1854 .96G
bales were smaller than expected.
Southern selling later cancelled most
of this gain as complaints of a sm.l
spot demand were received.
The Government report placing tn"
crop at 1S.61S,0 900 bales and ginnings
to December l at 1854 1856 bales wa
slightly under recent expectations, but
not sufficiently so to cause any excite
ment. There was a squirt of covering
by recent sellers when the market re-
opened after the publication Of th5
figures at an advance of 20 to ?.
points from the low prices of the
morning. with January selling a.
12.15, but the upturn was checked by
realizing or Southern selling. AT mid
day the market was within or 8
