So, today when a well-dressed

became tiresome. They dragged

Things Are Different
If Ruth does follow the of events and thinks
that the world of 1888 is the the world of 1928
he has missed lot of fun and excitement; if he

 New York, Aug. s-(UP)-Gains ranging to more than 3 points were recorded in the stock mar ket today as Wall street attempted to forecast the outcome of a con- ference between President Roosevelt and some of his close monetary advisers.
 Reports that some new infiation- ary measures might be brought out-reports not borne out by any official staements-brought an opt timism to the trading community which has been lacking through the last several desultory sessions. Trading today was quiet but con- siderably better than yesterday, with prospects of the session show ing around 100000 shares ex- changed as against 770,000 in the five hour session yesterday.

 As a group, the widest gains came in the repeal stocks. activity being based on the repeal vote in Arizona. At the peak National Distilers advanced to $90 a share for a gain of more than 3 points, and U. s. Industrial alcohol gained almost 3 points to 65 3-8.

 Regarding this tax. Robert Amory, treasurer of the Nashua Manufacturing company had this to say:
 There are some flies in 2he oint- ment. The most important of these is the processing tax. assessed on August 1. This Is a tremendous handicap on a mill making heavy goods and it yet remains to be seen whether we can maintain our volume at the very much higher costs due to the tax"
 To date, none of, the manufac- turers knows how much this will mean to the housewife who goes to the store to buy sheets and pil- low cases, toweling, corduroy, cur tains. drapes and blankets. Some say 80 per cent more. The predic- tions run as high. as 50 per cent.
 The second thing that worries the manufacturers is the present ab- sence of a large market, coupled with the possibility that high prices for cotton goods may reduce con- sumption.
 Unless, they believe, general nation-w wide and even international trade pickup comes shortly, the industrial improvement of the New England valley will be short lived.
