COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
The last quarter of 1904 opens with
much brighter prospects than prevailed
a year ago. At that time securities
mad fallen an average of S34 share
from the top point OF a year previous,
and there was general disposition
to curtail manufacturing and COM
mercial operations because Of the
heavy losses. The nation was enter
ing on a period OF conservatism, aug
mcnted by numerous labor controver-
sizes. At the present time there are
no alarming features, strikes are few
and unimportant, while the indications
OF growing confidence are numerous.
Business does not show the hesi-
tation customary during the closing
weeks OF presidential campaign, and
the prospect of profitable agricultural
results stimulates trade, especially
among retailers at the West and
South. Building operations are ex-
panding, providing a better demand
Tor lumber and materials. Clothing
and kindred lines are stimulated by
colder weather. and clearance sales
are well attended. Manufacturing
plants are decreasing the proportion
OF IDLE machinery, the chief complaint
coming from cotton mills. which suf-
fer from the disparity between prices

Movement Of wheat is heavy, but

ties at some points, and railway earn

spending date last year, and money is

Taffeta Still in Favor.

Black taffeta costumes, it was said
in the early spring, and it was thought
by the best authorities, would not be
fashionable during the summer, as
they were to be bought ready-made at
so many of the large department shops.
Yet there has been succession of the
most charming designs furnished for
black taffeta gowns, and these have
been made up in large numbers for
women who know how to dress well.
The skirts are trimmed with tucks or
folds of the taffeta, with bands of en-
broidery or lace ruchings. The waists
are tucked or pleated, and have white
lace syokes and bands overlaid with
embroidery or lace. Shirrings and
cordings, such as were the delight of
olden times, are most fashionable

Children's Wear.

Common sense is visible in most Of
the modern fashions for children's
wear. Small boys, in particular, profit
greatly by the present styles that are
so practical and at the same time SO
smart and attractive in appearance.
The one-piece suit worn over knicker-
bockers is made both in wash materials
and in serges, in cOlors and in white.
The white blouse, when made with a
sailor collar open at the front, can be
worn with an inside piece like yoke,
and can be worn with open throat, If
desired. The leather belt. pulled well
down to give the fashionable long
waisted appearance, must never be
forgotten; no trimming is necessary,
although lace collars and cuffs or bands
of bright scarlet or blue linen on the
White linen or pique frocks are nest
erfective.-Harper's Bazaar.

IndIyIduaIity I'm Dreas.

1t is just this, after serving as a GOV.
ering, that clothes are supposed to do
enhance feminine charms, says the
New York Sun. There was time
when fashions decrees were more arbi-
trary than they are now. Then one
general style clothed the multitude, big
and little, fat and lean, long and short.
Since womankind tasted of q broad
ened independence there has been a
marked growth in the individuality Of
dress, and the end Is not yet. The day
has passed when sensible woman will
make guy of .erself because, for
sooth, she is expected to wear this or
that. Would that womanklnd had at
tanned height where she separately
and severally dared to face the world
in toilets suited TO her station and
pocketbook! Every temptation is Of
fered, in these days. for the expendi-
ture OF money, and the sex that is
notably the lover of fine raimcnt is an
easy and willing victim.

the hall of his best customer he re-

OF fine, clear water stood on the floor
by his side. There was no one to SPY
on him, and thrice, before the maid
brought up the jugs, Hanks diluted his
milk with large measure filled from

woman calmly and went on.
