REALIZING CHECKS
{ RISE IN MARKET
Heavy Selling of Steel Stocks
Has UnsettIing Effect on

BY STUART r. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. September 2.-Realiz-
ing sales in larger quantity were en-
countered on the Stock Exchange to-
day. They did not entirely stop the.
rising tendency, but they did cheek
it considerably.
A good deal was made OF an inter
view with the chairman of the First
National Bank, who was credited with
saving that he did not expect in the
immediate future any action on an ex-
ira stock dividend in L. S. Steel.
This announcement was followed by
heavy selling of the steel stocks, which
for a time had an unsettling influence
upon the general list. But operations
for the rise predominated.
Coppers Taken Up.
Without anything developing in the
copper situation, these stocks were
suddenly taken up, apparently because
they had not played much part In the
recent speculation. Anaconda ran up
a point and a half, Cerro de PaSco
over a point, American Smelling near
ly points and kennecott II point.
Public utility shares came in for
more attention, but were by no means
uniformly strong. Brooklyn Edison
jumped points, then reacted. Con-
soltdated Gas met lot of proht-
taking after it had gone up point
and soon fell back. A good deal OF
selling went on in International Tele-
phone and Telegraph. Gains OF
half point were made In American
Brown Boyeri and in North Aineri-
can.
In the railway list, the feature was
an advance of over 2 points in New
York Central, accompanied by the
usual talk of an increased dividend.
Wheeling and Lake Erie on active
trading rose a point. The Wabash
issues were higher and SO was St.
Louis San Francisco. On large trans
actions Western Maryland second
preferred went up a point and half.
Marland Oil Strong.
There were no indications of
renewal Of the campaign in the oil
shares. in which the public Is so
much interested. Marland was

There are beautiful arches and win

shape Of st. Georges cross and the
stone roof has similar cross carved
upon it.

Evolution OF Trousers

The Haberdasher says: Trousers
are comparatively young things, hav-
ing come in about the same time the
last century did. George III was the
last English monarch who wore knee
breeches as a regular thing. The
change from breeches to trousers was
not a studied one. however, for there
was \ period of transition. During
that time men took to tights and
CATERS, and these were the forerun-
ners of trousers proper, that is, the
straight up-and-down loose-cut models
we know today. We cannot say who
first introduced them TO America, but
then, as now, our countrymen over
here followed the fashions of England
very closely, and it is quite likely that
they made their appearance simultane-
ously in England and in the States"

First Use of Spectocles

Spectacles are Of French origin.
The proof ocular, which is the kind
that ought to be acceptable on the
subject, lies in the fact that the oldest
known portrait wherein spectacles ap-
pear Is that of Cardinal Hughes De
Provence, painted by one Thomas of
Modena, which represents the prelate
with the W. k. globes in front of his
ewes. The fresco in the church Of
Saint Nicolas Of Trevise. of which the
portrait forms a part Is dated 1852.
There is, it appears. in the national
library at Paris an illuminated manu-
script dated 1880. which shows st.
Paul wearing spectacles. One would
IKE TO know where st. Paul got the
idea. He was a great traveller.
