The nillfners, especially the French
xnilliners, are speaking much of bon
nets nowadays. Just when is a hat
a bonnet? What is bonnet, anyway?
When bonnets were last worn the
idea came to be that a hat was a
bonnet when it had strings. Old
ladies is or 90 years ago sometimes
chung to their bonnets-flat little head
pieces. usually with black velvet
strings. In the days when hats were
fastened on the top of our heads by
means of pins thrust through the
hair these stringed bonnets we're real

ing-was appreciably higher the first
six months of this year than in the
corresponding period of last year.
Building, as measured by the num-
ber and value of permits. was only
slightly lower for the first six months
of this year than in the correspond
ing period of last year. And con-
struction actually under way gives
reason for the belief that there will
not be such falling off in building as
to bring about heavy shrinkage of
demand for funds in that quarter.
A three-way analysis of the In.
huences affecting money then seems
to show: First. that gold, if it affects
the situation at all, will work in the
direction of easier rates; second. that
the rediscount and open market pol
icies of the Reserve banks are likely
to maintain easy rates: third, that
the Autumn demand for funds should
be about as large as last year. The
net result is that. at most. we need
not expect more than the seasonal In
crease In money rates that occurred

Trade volume Is indicated by car
loadings and bank debts. For the
period of May IA to August the
total Of car loadings was 4 per cent
lower than for the same period Of
1926. Figures showing merchandise
shipped in less than carload lots tell
substantially the same story.
Bank debts, which reflect trade pay
ments, give a slightly different pic
ture. Splitting the difference between
car loadings and bank debit figures,
we find that the volume of trade this
year is about the same as last and the
Autumn pickup in trade will start
from nearly the same level as last
year. This argues a trade demand for
funds of about the same proportions
as last Fall.

variably enjoys a cast as near 100
per cent perfection as 1t is possible
to make 1t. Much of the charm of a
Golden comedy is in the balanced set
OF players he has assembled. Picking
the right actor for the part is an art
in itself, and John Golden has earned
his reputation as one of the best play
casters in the theatrical business.
Those who witness his latest COM
