Genoa, took a day off, declared a holi-
day and held festival, during which
Sorrentino was given his second
medal From Italy the band went to
Germany for a grand tour. and while
in Berlin Sorrentino received a deco
ration from the kaiser. Then came
the first American tour, which won
Sorrentino medal at Willow Grove
and other places. among them Lake
Harriet He has about eight in all,
one of them from the people Of Mime
apolis.
Last year, when he played a return
engag cement in Kansas City's great
Convention hall. sorrentino was pre-
ssnted with a superb medal. On the
diverse side Is Convention hall In
raised gold work and on the reverse
side is an inscription, token OF es-
teem from the citizens of Kansas City" ."
Ten thousand people were present to
zee the medal pinned upon Sorren-
tino's breast.
The band this year comprises fifty
musicians and their uniforms are Of
brilliant red. Their appearance upon
a concert platform is interesting in
the extreme, and being southerners and
from 2 land where music Is part of
every day life, they play with an ap-
'pealing force not to be had from any
other nationality "Bntamed steeds OF
melody" they have been called. A
large part Of their programs is de-
voted to operate selections, in which
they are said to be absolutely supreme.
Sorrentino, the conductor Of the band.
IS a musician to his finger tips he
IS the composer of willow Grove
and other popular marches, but his
best work ts in the arrangement of
operatic music for his band
Wherever the band has played It has
received unstinted praise from the news
papers This is what the st. Louis Globe
Democrat had to say of a recent con-
cert in that city:
sIt is seldom in a lifetime that one
hears military band music as excellent
as that produced by this alien organtza-
ton. There are something like a half
hundred instrumentalists and the in
etrumentation differs somewhat from
the average American band. This one
erceIs in the matter of reeds and in
eonorous brass. In the tutti passages
there is evoked an Overwhelming food
Of tone, which preserves an excellent
quality even in the fortissimo. The lis
tener will be struck by the fact that nc
matter how loudly these Italians play
their tone never seems blatant They
can breathe as softly into their instru-
ments, too. as "a gentle zephyr, and tht
tone. quality and balance are always
good. Sig. Sorrentino has his men un-
der perfect control and they obey his
VIII as one man. Not only these mu.
eicians correctly play the notes the com.
poser has written, but they infuse intS
the execution a feeling, a buoyancy anc
verve that quickens the formal score
into life. Sig Sorrentino's oemeano
Of the conductors desk is free from
manuerisms, and for this the audiencl
S. thankful He is an obliging director
and yesterdays programmes were dou
bied by encOres" "

Bradstreet's.


Bradstreet's says: A wholesale
trade is quieter in consonance with
the advanced stage of the season and
retail business except in the south
west reflects a lower temperature In
great consuming sections; but crop
developments are very favorable, more
generally so in fact than at any pre-
vious time this year, and the volume
of fall business is in advance of the
same time a year ago. Industry is
active as rarely. II ever before at the
threshold of the hot weather season,
summer shutdowns promise to be
fewer and shorter than usual, and the
labor outlook has been improved by
the ending of the few remaining coal
strikes and the restoration of higher
wage scales in the cotton manufac-
turing industry. Efforts to accentuate
the meaning Of reduction in the
price of southern foundry iron are
secuted by prominent authorities who
report business offering as very large
and point to the strength of all other
kind sof iron and steel as evidence that
this single item Of weakness is not
symphonic, but rather sporadic in, its
character Production is being cur
tailed for purposes Of repair and
stocks probably show no accumula-
ton. Manufacturers in a number Of
lines, notably hardware, fine cottons
and shoes, report orders booked
ahead to greater extent than is
usual at this time. The railways are
doing an unprecedented business for
this season Of year and the volume
of freight moving is very heavy. gross
earnings for the first half of June ex-
ceeding a year ago by II per cent
Money is easier. but collections tend to
slow up. Lumber of low grades shows
weakness, but building activity is still
marked despite the enormous volume
done in the first six months of the
year. Weather and crop reports
make for ease in the leading cereals
and cotton. Bank clearings exceed
last weeks by 8 per cent, and this
week last year by "A per cent.

Foreign Commerce at New York

New York. June 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of. Trade says:
Relief from drouth in many impor-
tant farming sections has restored
prospects of bountiful harvests and
the business of the nation has main
tanned a volume that is exceptionally
heavy for the season. Some evidences
of conservatism regarding production
beyond assured demands are noted,
but in many of the leading industries
contracts have been placed for the
entire output during the rest Of the
year, while steel mills are filled well
into 1907. One of the best features
of the week was the settlement OF
coal mining troubles in Ohio. conces-
sions being made by both contestants
that resulted in resumption of work
by $4,000 miners. The only serious
struggle threatened for July 2 was in
the textile industry, and manufac-
turers granted the desired increase in
wages on Thursday. Activity IN real
estate and building operations is fully
maintained and the movement of lum-
ber and materials. is very heavy.
Winter wheat harvesting has begun.
the usual complaint regarding the
scarcity of labor being frequently
heard. Railway earnings thus far
available for June show a gain of 10.5
per cent. over last years figures, and
foreign commerce at this port for the
last week exceeds the volume in 1905
by $5.791,920 as to imports and $2,-
SIS. .542 as to exports.
Textile mills still have considerable
forward business. but new contracts
come forward slowly, a. feeling of in
difference in the primary markets,
and jobbers report only a desultory
store trade. Occasionally concessions
are reported in cotton goods. Favor
able reports are received from return
ing statesmen Of New England foot
wear manufacturers who have secured
liberal sample orders for spring shoes
More interest is noted in the leather
market
Improvement Is noted in the de-
mand for hides. especially packet va
rieties, Of which very large sales are
recorded.

HINTS IN ENING

The early spring table beet from Its
very first peep into the light of day
should be forced into such quick and
healthy growth that it never should
know any hindrance or check until 1t
is ready to be placedion sale or used.
There is no better ftime than Febru-
airy for starting the 'hotbed either for
plants or salads. The increasing sun
and lengthening days are all in favor
of its success; says a market gardener.
For'cabbage plantstsow seed of Jer-
sey Wakefield In fiatssfiued with light,

a LITTLE PLANT HOUSE.

en-, as Farm Journal remarks in figuring
q little house that just fills the bill for a
place to start all kinds OF garden plants.
The plan of the house is sufficiently
shown in the cut. A little stove can be
used to Aeep up the needed warmth at
night, or a small hot water heater can
be put in, with pipes running along be
meath the bench
The seeds should all'be sown in boxes
in order that the latter may be turned
end for end, as the sum draws The
plants toward the light. The house
should face a little east OF south and
need not be more than six feet wide,
with such length as is desired. Have
some of the windows made so that
they can be opened; then the room.may
not be overheated at mid1ay.
