Fortune In Gifts LavlShed
On Countess AIlCe

Bridal gifts of jewels of in
estimable value, rare old silver,
antique Russian icons and art
treasures worth fortunte have
been Showered upon the youth
full Countess Alice SZechenyi
and her bridegroom Of today,
Count Bella Hadik.
Yesterday the father of the
bride, Count LaSzlo Szechenyi,
Hungarian Minister to the
United States, invited the press
to the legation to view the dis
play. Heaped on tables in the
sunny living room on the sec
ond floor of the legation the
gifts made a brilliant display,
guarded only by the ten-cent
store celluloid policeman placed
on duty by SeVen.year-old
Countess Nandine Szechenyi,
sister of the bride.
RareSt Gift Not Displayed
The most Sumptuous Of the
gifts, presented Countess Alice
by her parents-in-laWS to be,
Count and Countess Hadik, was
too valuable and rare a treas
ure to be sent to this country
and was represented in the pile
by photograph only. The
gift, a magnificent necklace and
earrings of diamonds, was pre-
Sented an anceStreSs of both
bride and bridegroom (who are
diStantly relatedD by the EN-
preSS-Queen Maria Theresa, of
ustria-Hungary, and is re-
garded as one of the most beau
tlful jewels in the world.
The necklace and ear orna-
mentS, somehow, looked almost
too heavy for the slender
throat and little ears of the
1S-year-old bride. Perhaps they
will be locked away in the
Hadik treasure chests to be
worn only ON state occasions.
More fitting to her youth and
glrllSh beauty was her parents
gift, a bracelet and earrings
of diamonds and emeraldS. The
stones in the earrings are mag
nificent bits of green fire, as
large as the tips of her slender
little fingers and the diamonds
themselves, although not as
huge as those in the priceless
Kadik necklace, are of the
greatest beauty.
A Personal Token
A more personal gift (also
represented by a picture) was

which the young couple will
find awaiting them upon their

A generally improved outlook
as a result OF the debt mora
torium settlement, some reduc.

ising crop outlooks characterized
the past week from q business
viewpoint, according to reports
yesterday from 80 localities
throughout the nation to the
Presidents Emergency Committee
on Employment.
Conditions for individual cities
included reports as follows:
New York-The National EN-.
ployment Exchange announced
that total registrations for the
week increased only 5.71 per cent
while the number of requests for
workers increased 1911 per cent.
The ratio of applicants for every
100 jobs was 1000 against 2,O76
for the week before.
Atlanta-The recent rise in the
price of cotton has resulted in
more intensive cultivation of this
crop and the larger number of
workers available this year has
produced a better cultivated cot
ton crop than in many seasons
past. Large numbers of workers
from the city have found work in
the country districts and this had
favorable effect by reducing the
number of urban unemployed. Re.
cent developments in the conStruc-
ton field are encouraging.

the securities market injected a
better feeling into Chicago bust.

Spectator Repeats Rumor
Big interests Are Taking
Advantage Of Recent Drop
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, July Eff reports
which have received wide circula-
tion in usually well-informed
financial quarters are true, then
important interests have been
utilizing the current setback to
add to long-pull holdings in ex-
pectation Of a fall upturn in the
market.
Reasons advanced for this pol
icy are based on the belief that an
important economic recovery is in
the making, and the following
significant facts, not readily dis
cernible to the rank and file in
veStor, are stressed.
Easy Credits Due
First. Federal Reserve credit
outstanding now stands at 1927
SAL 900. as compared with record
high of $3,633, ,00O, 900 reached in
October, 1919. Thus. the present
figures could be expanded 400 per
cent without a dangerous strain
on the system.
Second, the recent expansion to
around 64,000,000 Government
securities owned by the Federal
reserve system. indicates the
banks belief in a buoyant bond
market, a natural forerunner OF
new business activity and large
industrial funding operations.
Third. commercial paper rates
have fallen from 6 to per cent.
Such a deflation in rates facili-
tates commercial borrowings and
foreShadows higher bond prices.
Fourth, the rate of industrial
operations has fallen to so low a
level, that with any normal sea-
sonal improvement in business
the trend of steel production. rail
road earnings. and automobile
production will turn upward,

GOOD PROFIT

In an analysis Of the outlook
for major industries during the
last half Of 1881, the Standard
Statistics Company, of New York,
lists the following as being most
favorably situated:
Beverages-BarItng the occur
renee of unexpectedly cool
weather this summer, sales and
earnings in general should COM
pare favorably with those Of
1880.
Chain Stores-More favorable
income comparisons with 1880
should be witnessed during the
remainder Of the year, and in q
few instances last years results
will be exceeded.
Cigarettes-We expect a second
half sales record comparing well
with that Of 1890.
Package Foods - Consumption
of the leading brands is well
sustained, and 1881 earnings Of
leading producers should nearly
equal those Of last year.

year likely will be moderately
larger than in previous year, with
