Deft Weavers Of the Old Sod Turn On
Perfect Imitation.
Just year ago some manufacturers
Of artistic textiles touring In Donegal
resolved on establishing a place for the
making Of hand-tufted carpets of the
description generally known as TURK.
ish" or Persian" The peculiarly OF
this fabric Is that from its nature II
must be a hand production. The tufts
are tied by the fingers In knots in longi.
tudinal warps, which are stretched be-
tween two long parallel beams. The
carpets are made to the size and shape
Of any room. The design Is placed In
front, and the girls, from three to q
dozen, according to the size Of the car
pet, select the cOlOrs indicated row by
row, which are tied, then bound down
by Shoots" of wooden welt drawn
across the entire width and beaten firm
by small irOn-toothed hammers. There
is interesting variety and pleasure in
the work, and 1t is such that individual
skill and workmanship come largely
into play. Altogether, 1t Is just such an
industry as Is suited to the rural dis
tricts Of Ireland. No steam power is
required, and there is therefore no han
dicap on the commercial side by the
absence of coal.
The first years experiment with the
Irish girls has proved that they are adj
mirablv adaDted for the work. The
girls show a nimbleness of fingers and
sharpness Of eye for color and form
that have quite astonished their teach
ers, and they take to the work with a
spirit and cheerfulness quite refresh
ing. So convinced are the promoters
of its ultimate success that they have
planned out broad scheme that will
espread the work all over the west of
Ireland and give employment to many
hundreds Of girls and boys.-London

SPRING TRADE RETARDED.

Underlying Business Conditions Are
Highly satisfactory.
Bradstreet's says: Stormy weather
has retarded the developments Of spring
trade at many markets, interrupting
telegraph and railway communication
and nearly checking the movement OF
merchandise. In prices, aggressive
strength is still the feature of the cot
ton and cotton goods market. while re.
tail lines remain steady. Food prod.
ucts, however, have weakened, and
some raw materials, like wool and hide
are quotable lower. Railway returns
continue to reflect large gains over q
year ago, though, as pointed out last
week, comparisons from now on will be
with better conditions in transportation
matters than a year ago, and phenom-
email gains are less likely of attainment
That underlying business conditions
are in high degree heslthful will be
gathered from the fact that business
failures for February are at minimum
Is regards the number for that month,
and liabilities, only slightly exceeding
those of the same month year ago.
