New York. Jan. 15.-R. G. Dun & Co s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Reports of Improvement in the volume
of business outnumbor unfavorablc de-

has appeared thus far in the demand for
IRON and steel products, although the re-
sumption of idle plants has attained en-
couraging proportions. In so far az pig
IRON is concerned the week has brought a
slightly lower range of prices without
stimulating inquiries. and most depart
m"nts report no change in the attitude Of
purchasers.
After again forcing prices for cotton

by extensive lquidation There was tho
customary supply of rumors that the lead

presence of pow crful support. Port re-
c"ipts fell of some what without produc-
nag the promised advance in prices. and

apparent effect. Mills are taking very
ilttl" raw material. and more foreign fac

these trade factors.

large sized silk cord. 1t is wound several
times around the crown and loopcd and
knotted at one side, the ends being
brought together and fastened with a
shaded cabochon in the centre of the
looping.
No doubt by spring the fashionable hats
will be much reduced in size as the grow
ing tendency is toward smaller designs.
For carriage and formal wear toques
and turbans are already taking first
place over the picture effects With
these shapes it Is no longer necessary
to put the veil directly over the hair
and adding the chiffon veil over the hat,
for the former fits over the smaller hats
very nicely.
Many pretty trimmings for dresses and
hats are made of delicate hand made
handkerchiefs. These novelties are ex
pcnsive, however, and there are women
who have made small fortunes this sea
son from the sales of such accessories.
While white is used most, there are
pretty color combinations shown in these
trimming handkerchiefs which are some
what at variance to the rules of nasal
etiquette. but they are novel and that
is the chief desideratum.

D moro than any other physician

escape from the facial deformities, such
as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the raw

He has made chronic catarrh lifelong

Perrna, is the most famous remedy for
catarrh in existence
Probably there is not man or woman,
boy or girl, within the bounds Of the
