INDUSTRIALS DIP TO LOWER LEVEL NEW YORK, March 27.—Without displaying as much weakness and confusion as in some recent sessions of stock market, industrials dipped to lower price level today and showed little power of recuperation. A break in Chicago Northwestern following publication of unfavorable February earnings report, made it easier for berish traders to upset balance of railroad list and gradually to extend operations to industrials. When U. S. Steel declined to 116% and Baldwin broke thru to new low at 110%, stocks were pushed on market faster than they could be absorbed except at good concessions. Good buying in some leading industrials was reported on decline, pools being buyers of some pivotal stocks in preparation for drive against shorts. General Elec., Ann Can., Atlantic Gulf and Foundation Co., were among strong spots. The money market was one of most important factors in today's speculative activities. Banks were reported calling loans in preparation for monthly settlements and rate for call money moved up from 4 to 4½ and 5 per cent. An advance of 2.2 per cent in reserve ration of New York federal reserve bank showed conclusively why directors took no action on raising re-discount rate of bank. Outside of their pressure against few industrial leaders, banks were not so aggressive as in recent sessions and trading consequently slowed up, with speculative interest concentrated in small number of stocks. A decline of five cents a bushel in May wheat and three to four cents in corn and rye forced some selling of stocks from western points. Cotton also lost early gains and declined about ten points. Copper metal prices sagged to 13% cents a pound and most copper stocks were reactionary. U. S. Smelting, which is inactive in wood Development were the bright spots on an otherwis dull and uninteresting market at opening session of Los Angeles stock exchange this morning.

Sprague, rep. representative of the third generation at the foreign post, is now duty there. The history of the "Spragues Gibraltar" is almost as remarkable as that of the huge stone itself. Horatio Sprague, of Boston, a member of a mechanical firm whose vessels sailed to Cadiz, Malaga, Malta and Genoa, was first of the family y/o establish a residence abroad—about the year 1800. Young Sprague, junior clerk, embarked on one of the firm's ships with instructors to inspect Mediterranean ports and to open an office wherever trade was most active During the war of 1812, he was forced to leave Gibraltar. He took up his residence at Alcantra in Spain, but by special permission of British authorities was permitted to make daily trips to Gibraltar to attend to its business. After restoration peace, he again went to Gibraltar, and in 1832 he was appointed American Consul by President Andrew Jackson. Horatio Sprague served as Consul for sixteen years. He died in 1848, and was succeeded by his son, Horatio Jones Sprague, father of the present Consul. The second Sprague to hold this post was appointed by President James K. Polk. When Mr. Sprague died in 1861, he was succeeded by his son, Richa rd L. Sprague, the present Consul.

If you have gold lace which has become dark or tarnished in color smooth it out carefully and apply a coat of gold paint. The original luster is restored. The importance of the teacart as an accessory in any home, its service in the dining room, as a convenience and a step-saver, and as the right hand maid of the hostess in all those say and informal little affairs—the porch tea, the Sunday night supper, or the after-theatre bite by the fireplace—seems too well known to deserve mention. But it is at dishwashing time that the teacart proves that its other name is "service." After the meal, the table can be cleared with one loading of the service wagon. As the dishes are washed and dried they are placed on the tray again, wheeled into the pantry, and put away. The preparation of the meal also is lightened by this handy little table-on-wheels. Instead of making trip after trip from the pantry to the dining room, with silver, with plates, and with various odd pieces, all may be placed on the service wagon and wheeled in together. When the meal is ready, in the same way, many of the dishes of food can be taken in at once. SOLUTION OF YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE The most economical little saxon man is a Class Ad in this paper.
