New YoRK, August 2+.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade which is
published tomorrow, will say:
Changes during tho past week have
not been definite nor worry important.
As the Presidents Gual decision regard
ing tho new tariff ia guessed. but not
yet certainly known, part OF tho hesita-
ton which appears may be attributed
to the lingering uncertainty, which
must soon terminate. Other condi-
tions, II not entirely favorable, have nt
least not changed for tho worst during
tho past week. Tho injury to corn is
less than many apprehended, but is be-
loved 10 havo reduced the yield about
600,0O0,000 bushela.
In the iron and steel manufacture tho
demand for furnished products in
creaaes, but Ia at present not SO large as
tho capacity oil the works which have
endeaVored to resume operations, 30
that their competition results in prices
nearly as low as have been reached at
any time. A moderate gain In transac-
tions la seen at Philadelphia, though
finished products there arc weaker,
and at New York no improvement yet
appears, while az Pittsburgh aud Clevo-
land there is more buying, but at Chi
cavo considerably loss than Of late.
Several moro furnaces have gone into
operation, notwithstanding tho arcity
oi wator supply at Connellsville and
consequently Of coke, and prices Of
pig ironaro not further depress-
cd, A moderate increase is seen
in the woolen mills in opor-
alton, and agents who have offered
spring goods, generally at reduction Of
about I2i per cont from last years
prices, haye taken orders for consider
nble nuantities.

CIGARETTE SMOKING.
The Allegation Again Made That It Is
Increasing Among Women.


Cigarette smoking among women in
this country has rapidly increased in the
last few years." said B. +. Allen of
Albany, at the Arlington yesterday.
wv hen was on the road for the KIM
Dali Company some years ago selling its
cigarettes, many of our customers in
trusted me with the secret of the trade,
and we had few buyers in New York
City, especially in the drug trade, who
did not have regular feminine callers for
the short styles of smokes. The fair
habltual users OF the weed are not con-
hned by any means to actresses or
women who have disregard for the pro-
prleties. L know of a cigarette club in
New York composed OF young women,
who met at each others houses for the
purpose of indulging in the delights of
surreptitious smoke, and whose parents
would have had one lit after another had
they known OF what was going on.
1T is pretty well proved physical fact
that person who begins smoking Gig
arettes for the fun of the thing becomes
addicted to their use in ninety-nine cases
out OF hundred, or percentage pretty
nearly as big, anyhow. There are many
women who move in the best American
circles who are as much enSlaved to the
cigarette habit as the verieSt dude in eX-
istence. In England women in society
do not hesitate To even smoke cigarettes
at the races or other outdoor entertain
ments.
Il was reading an account the other
day OF a man who was arrested for steal
ing diamond-studded cigarette case be-
longing to the young Countess of Rosslyn.
She had left the case on the table OF
fashionable restaurant, where she had
been to luncheon, and Where she had
doubtless smoked after the meal, and it
came out in the testimony that the case
had been presented to her by no less per-
sonage than the Princess of Wales. There
was no particular brand of cigarettes
made for the fair sex when l was in the
business, and do not know whether the
trade has become sufficiently large yet to
allow OF special variety being manu-
factured for feminine smokers, but | do
know the habit has many victims among
women, and that ii is increasing its hold
upon them every day.
This does not, l think, indicate any
growing lack of wOmanliness, but only
shows where the initiative faculty of the
human mind will lead one. Younger
sisters, for instance, will catch their
elders putting away at a cigarette. and
straig ghtway will think it is the best fun
in the world TO do the same thing them
selves, and that's the way it goes."-
Washington Star.

aItendant, with a wink at me, as she
stood her victim in the proper place and
began to adjust the little faucets that
send out the myriad tiny streams OF
water.

proudly and with emphasis.

struck the victims back. her thin face
set into an expression of intensest agony.
Deslst at once" she howled, with a
last effort to retain her dignity, but the
attendant pretended not to hear. and with
a bound which brought her to my side,
the schoolma'am fed from the torment
ing neeeles. Her evil fate still pursued
her, however, as l happened TO see.
Just III front of the needle baths is the
swinging door looking into the steam
room or Russian bath, which was Just
then being cleansed out with a hose by
one OF the attendants. Much annoyed
and half frozen, the schoolma'am deter
mined TO make for safe quarters, and,
mlstaklng the door ahead of her for the
one by which she had entered, she dashed
1t open and started in. The place was
full OF steam and the attendant of course
couldn't see her, so just as she got past
the threshold stream of almost boiling
water struck her square in the face.
This was too much for my risibilities,
and l made no further effort to restrain
my laughter. This riled the woman
more than ever, and as she ran by me
she snapped out something about '.impu-
dent young snlps," and taking her "cus-
tom to some other bath in the future"
which almost sent the attendant into
conyulsions.-Susan Sharpe in New
York Journal.
