FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Distribution of Merchandise at Re.
tail Continues to lncrease-Pig
Iron Price Settled.

Distribution of fall merchandise at
retail Increases steadily, except In
some sections, where the weather has
been unfavorable. Jobbers are still
forwarding large consignments of dry
goods and kindred lines. and reports
from the interior indicate confidence
in well-sustained business during the
autumn and winter. There are still
complaints of caution at eastern
cities regarding future operations, on
account of the financial situation, but,
on the whole, mercantile collections
are more prompt. Manufacturers
have orders en- hand assuring active
machinery for some months, even in
the industrials where the conservat-
ism is a noticeable feature, while
each week puts vast quantity OF
agricultural products beyond the
reach of early frost, which Is now
regarded as the only serious menace
to the great farm staples.
Producers of pig iron appear to
have reached basis upon which
business can be transacted, and in
creased inquiries have checked the
downward tendency of quotations.
Purchases are more liberal, especial
ly at the East. A moderate tonnage
of structural steel is ordered each
week. while more work of this ma
ture is contemplated, but much OF
the expected buying for railway
bridges and large office buildings still
awaits a favorable money market.
Business in rails is now most active
in light weights for trolley systems.
Textile plants are still busy, with
the exception of some curtailment in
woolens and cotton mills. Primary
markets are somewhat disturbed by
the extensive decline in price of raw
cotton, new orders decreasing as
prospective purchasers endeavored to
secure concessions in prices of goods
commensurate with the change In
cost of material. Financial strifgency
Is also felt. but not to such degree
as before the present period.

SHRINKING wooLEN GOODS.

ing after being made up. To avoid
this now l always sponge the goods
before making up, unless they have
been sponged before being offered
for sale. 1t is not difficult thing
to do, yet requires some care and
patience.
Prepare table large enough to
hold the entire width of the goods.
The top cover of this table should
be fastened on firmly, for you do not
want any wrinkles in the goods; this
cover should also be free from lint.
Lay the dress goods on the table,
wrong side up. Take cloth (this
should also be free from Init and
dip in water, then wiring out tightly,
for this cloth must not be wet, but
just damp. Cover the dress goods
with this cloth and press with hot
iron. Remember, press, but do not
iron. Keep the goods smooth by al
lowing 1t to drop back over the table
upon something. After il all has
been gone over hang it up. SO that
the steam may dry off before foldins
up. This is an excellent method to
press old goods before making up;
also an excellent way to press thu
creases out of made-up dresses and

ABOUT TABLECLOTnS.

A new tablecloth of good linen
needs no starch when 1t is washed,
yet comparatively few women know
the proper method of ironing it. The
tablecloth and napkins, too, should
be made very damp, even more so
than any other article in the wash.
Have very large iron when ironing
them; No. is not too large, and 1t
retains the heat much longer. The
success of ironing the pieces is to
make perfectly dry every inch of the
linen as you iron it. This makes the
cloth glossy and it will have sufficient
starch in it. AS tablecloths grow old
they will need little thin starch, as
the body is worn in them, and 1t
makes them iron better The old
ones should be sprinkled the same
as other clothes. These pieces should
be thoroughly dried near a stove be.
fore they are put away, or the damp.
ness they retain makes them look
as If they had not been ironed at all.

SIDE SADDLES ORIGIN.

Elbert Hubbard, the man who
writes something about everything,
has dug up the fact that the side sad
die was the invention of a princess
who had congenital hip disease, and
could not ride astride. To save her
embarrassment all the ladies of the
court had side saddles made, and rode
in the same way. The fashion spread,
and we continued it until about five
years ago, when many good women
who rode horseback, publicly ac-
knowledged themselves as bipeds.-

MARTHA'S CAREER.

Martha was farmers daughter
in the middle West, a daring, self
willed girl, always full Of great
dreams and ambitions. The day af-
ter she was graduated from the high
school she went to her father.
Il am going to New York." she
announced, ito learn to be singer.
I'm old enough-I'm eighteen, and |
have the three hundred dollars Aunt
Minta lelt me. It's no use trying to
prevent me; shall run away If you
don't let go"
So Martha went to New York and
began her study. Fortunately she Sc
cured good teacher, and for a few
weeks worked joyfully. Then one
day her teacher detained her after
the lesson.
Miss Reid" she said, 81 feel that
I am wronging you If / do not speak
to you frankly. You are putting
your life into your singing. May
ask you what You hope to do with
your voice?"
Il mean" the girl answered, de-
flant because Of the sudden fear that
caught at her heart, ito be q great
singer. l know I'm poor, but what
difference does that make? IN earn
the money. Others have done it, why
shouldn't -"
The teachers eyes met hers pity
ingly.
1T is hard to say, Miss Reid, but
could not forgive myself If did not
tell you the truth--we see so many
tragedies here! You never can make
great singer-you have not the
voice. You have voice enough to give
much pleasure to yourself and others,
to help in thousand Ways"
The girl broke in rudely. "You
are telling me that l can sing in Sun
day-school," she retorted. THANK
you, that isn't my idea of life."
She left her teacher and went
straight to another, to whom, in spite
of herself, she let the story slip out.
The professor" Iympathized with
her, tried her voice, declared himself
enthusiastically her advocate, and
once more the study began-and the
dreams. But now new difficulty ap-
peared-she was almost at the end
of her money. Troubled, yet hardly
doubling, she asked the professor to
help her find some way to use her
voice. Then the professors smooth
manner dropped, and he broke out in
to trade to which she listened too
stunned to answer. Five minutes la
ter she left with his last word ringing
in her ears:
Voice? You could not sing in one
thousand years."
The New York papers the next day
reported the suicide of young girl
at such and such a street number.
No reason known.
1t is a terrible story, but only too
common. There are those who speak
pityingly of the great mystery of the
artistic Temperament" with no pow
er to create the beauty of which it
dreams. 1t is mystery, but the
tragedy was not there. 1t was In the
