needs in crop movement the gold gravitates to
the Treasury. The great industries moreover,
continue to show real want OF confidence In
the future, although II is the season for hesta-
ton in some Of them regarding future contracts.
There are many new orders for iron products,
including some Of Importance for export. but the
statement that the new steel-rail combination
has been formed is fatty denied. The sales OF
wool were also greatly increased last week. with
concessions in price to manufacturing purchas-
ers said TO be several cents per pound" at Bos-
ton and at other markets It is admitted that i'm
portant concessions were made. Holders have
become convinced within the last few weeks
that the supplies actually available in this coun-
try have been far greater than has been gener-
ally realized. The manufacturers also find
distinctly better demand for goods though not
as yet large enough to make the outlook alto
gether clear to the coming season.

SUMMER CURTAINS,
Timely Suggestions For Draping These
Hot Weather Vndispensab|es In
an Artistic Manner,

The hanging Of the summer curtains
Is to the housewife one OF the most I'M
portant Of the seasons arrangements.
SO much depends upon the imagination
when the dog days come and h Their
mometer registers 80 degrees in the
shade. A pretty white curtain airily
hung will often cheat the temperature
of az least ten degrees OF heat. In the
city ~orSsuburban houses where heavy
curtains of brocade adorn the windows
in order to keep out the winter cold 1t
Is almost q necessity to remove them
In the summer in order to allow the air
to circulate freely through the apart
ments. Curtains Of handsome silk or
lace are removed at this season, too.
because with the easement thrown wide
there are too many chances to be taken.
On the weather to risk q SIS or $50 cur
tain to It's inclemencies.
A simple yet graceful arrangement OF
rufiled swiss curtains is shown In Fig.

left corner of the window and doubled
over at the opposite corner 80 that the
opposite side of the curtain now be-
come the uppermost one. The curtain
IS attached to the rings at each side OF
the pole. leaving in the center a bare
space equal to one-third its length. The
curtain Is draped at each side with a
pale biu or n pink satin ribbon at one
third OF the drapery's distance from the
floor. "A narrow sash curtain of the
swiss is placed upon the window itself.
Fig. 2 shows another graceful ar
rangement OF net curtains having a sur
rounding frill OF the material. In this
the curtains are hung from n small rod
hidden behind the ornamental pole, the
lambrcquin part OF the curtain alone
