NEW YORK. February T.-Specula-
tive favoriteS in the curb market con-
tinued strong today despite wave of
profit taking. which brought a decline
on the Stock Exchange. This was prob
shy due to their comparatively high
selling prices and the fact that their
floating supply had been materially re-
Guced because of the recent buying
In hardly any instance was there any
new development TO account for the
strength. The favoriteS were merely be-

tive possibilities and a desire on the
part OF outsiders TO seek employment for
their surplus funds III the various Specu-
lative markets.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
What Makes the Market Go.

What makes stocks go up and what
makes stocks go down? This Is the
question often asked by those unfa-
miliar with the technicalities of the
market. For that matter those who do
profess entire familiarity with financial
affairs ask 1t too. Well, there Is only
one reason why stocks go up. and that
Is because some one buys them, and
there is only one reason why stocks go
down, and that Is because somebody
sells them.
Think minute. If the New York
Central Railroad were to go in the
hands of a receiver today the price OF
the stock would not be affected unless
and until some one sold it. If the
Union Pacific should double the present
$40 dividend. the price Of Union Pacific
would not increase unless and until
some one bought 1t. This then does
not answer the question; 1t only puts
1t in different form.
Why do people buy stocks and why
do people sell them? That is not so
simple. In the first place, purchases are
made for investment. A man buys
New York Central because he wants
the So dividend paid on that stock
annually He sehs Union Pacific, sup
posing he Is already the owner of that
stock because he needs the money the
stock will bring. This. however, repre-
sents only small proportion of the
purchases and sales in days session
The bulk of the trading is done by
people who are trying to guess when
other people will buy New York Central
or sell Union Pacific, hoping to make a
profit by anticipating the action of the
investor. Such buyers and sellers are
spectators, They perform an essential
service. Without them there would be
no market. for transactions by genuine
investors would be too few and far be-
tween to establish continuity of quo
tations.
Still we have not solved the problem
The question remains on what basis
are the gllesses, If we make bold to call
them tpat. Of the spectators made
We will fake up that subject in the next
article in this series.

SOUTHERN DELIVERIES
PLAN IN COTTON BEATEN
Board of Managers of New York
Exchange Vote Down, Two
Proposals.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February THE board
OF managers Of the New York Cotton
Exchange last night defeated proposal
TO establish contract for southern de-
liveries and Immediately afterVafd Ca
feated a proposal for deliveries In the
South and In New York
The proposal for southern deliveries,
which was defeated 100 to 81. provided
for the delivery Of cotton at Norfolk,
New Orleans, Galveston and Houston.
Savannah would be made a fifth port
Of delivery when Georgia laws we're
modified.
The successful opponents OF the pro-
posal, which has come up for vote
several times in the past 20 years, said
1t would have eliminated New York as
cotton center. The other proposal
would have included New York, but
probably would have diverted much Of
the business to the southern ports. II
was defeated 1872 to S5.

Clean Pores.

Sometimes the complexion gets TO
such a state that the only thing to
do Is 10 give 1t a good steam bath by
way of clearing 1t of--wcIt, whatever Is
In the pores that doesn't belong there.
On the whole, steam baths are not a
good thing; the heat relaxes the skin,
coarsens It, opens the pores and makes
them more visible than ordinarily.
But not II you do 1t as I shall suggest
today, and not II you make steam
bath an occasional event and not
habit.
First rub the skin with cleansing
cream, and wipe 1t off. Or let 1t stay
on; it does not matter much. Then
fill basin with boiling water, quite a
lot of boiling water so 1t will keep Its
heat. Or keep the basin over a slow
fire. Put a thick Turkish towel over
your head, preferably put two of them.
And bend over the basin.
The steam will gradually open the
pores and make the skin perspire. The
cream will get in: whether you have
wiped 1t off or not there will be some
still on the skin. and this will soften
in the pores and help bring out the
yellowy matter that has hardened and
made the pores widen. The steam and
the Oil of the cream together will bring
this out.
Then at the end of 5 to 10 minutes
wash with cool water and then cold.
Very cold. Or use ice. This shrinks
the pores. which, being clean. can
really shrink now, into their normal
invisibility. If the face is dry. cold
cream can be used again, wiped off with

throw OF the waste matter they are

And, by carrying OF the hardened stun

or rub the skin with a small piece of

Optical Illusion.

In this column I am often asked to
recommend reducing diets and exer-
cises. but there Is another kind OF re-
ducing that should also receive
thoughtful attention from all over
weights and those who are heavily
built tor their height. This sort OF
reducing is more apparent than real
and should appeal strongly to women
who lack the self-control to abstain
from fattening foods and to take regu--
lar exercises II Is also the sort or
reducing that can unhesitatingly
recommend to overweight girls who are
too young to reduce In the regular way.
The method to which refer Is re-
ducing by optical Illusion: that Is, max

of designing clothes tor Queens, went
TO Spain to display some of his at
tractive new frocks and things to the
Queen and the ladies of her court.
When the hlue-eyed, English born
Queen chose q frock with especial en-
thusiasna, the Spanish ladies ordered
others of much the same sort.
A certain foulard evening gown
called Caro- Milo. I am told, proved a
great favorite. 1t is made of foulard
With a black ground and large floral
designs OF red roses and green leaves.
The gown is straight In silhouette With
two large pouffs at the natural waist

hangs down perfectly straight to with

ice is round In front and cut to deep

ornament fastens the pouffs

which has often been used for evc-

why 1t should be used exclusively for
