FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
BUYERS ARE CONSERVATIVE
Best News of Week as TO Manu-.
|. ufacturing Conditions Is from
Leather Industry.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Cos
weekly review of trade says:
Retail trade in spring goods has
made further progress and the con-
servative buying by dealers in pre-
pairing for current distribution is now
providing a good supplementary de-
mand from wholesale and jobbing
houses.
Unusually advanced weather in
many sections stimulates business,
and agricultural work is making an
early start. In the leading indus
tries there is evidence of gradual
increase in contracts, many plants
preparing for greater activity on
April 1, while proposed reductions
in wages have produced no threats
of strikes.
"The best news of the week as to
manufacturing conditions comes from
one leather industry, although ship
ments of footwear through Boston
are only about two-thirds those of
the same week last year. Dispatch
es from the West and South are
most favorable as to the general
commercial situation, few cities re-
porting the volume of business fully
equal to last years, and these state
ments are supported by bank ex
changes at these points about the
same as in 1907. There is still COM
plant regarding mercantile collec
tions, although Improvement is noted.
Progress in the iron and steel in
dustry continues irregular, activity
increasing in the wire and plate de-
partments, while heavy lines await g
revival of normal demand The
outlook is encouraging, however, be
cause improvement in the financial
situation continues.
''In the primary markets for tex
tile fabrics there is more inquiry, es
pecially for small quantities of cot
tons to be shipped promptly. Ur
gency of demand for immediate ship.
ment indicates that stocks in dis
tributing channels are light ant
goods must be secured for delivery
on orders that were taken but thai
lower prices would be named by pro
ducers before retailers called fol
| them.

Fashion Notes.

Swiss watchmakers are making fin
ger-ring watches.
The button pins are used where the
hair is worn on top of the head.
Combs are smarter when made with
plain tops, without knobs or other dec
orations.
The new hatpins have huge ball
heads of platinum thickly studded
with jewels
There is nothing prettier than net
for the fuckers which are an important
part of the fashionble dinner gown.
Colored embroidery will be as fash
ionable for lingerie hats the coming
summer as it is to be for thin frocks.
Stripes are getting wider and wider
as the season advances. The newest
ones are fully three-quarters of an inch
in width.
The plain amber-colored combs and
pins for the blond girl, and those in
dark shell for the brunette, are entire
ly correct.
Cuffs, collars, buttons and other
touches of black linen will be seen on
coat and skirt suits Of linens in the
dainty colors.
There is no prettier use for the fine
colored embroideries than in making
up dainty matinees, dressing jackets,
negligees, etc.
No ribbons or gauze accompany the
feathers, but at the base is jeweled
crescent, which is particularly effec
tive in dark hair.
The immense hats trimmed solely
with great chous and enswathing folds
of tulle have look of light and airy
grace in spite of their almost unwields
size.

Remarkable English Woman.

Mrs. Josephine L. Butler, who re-
gently passed away in her seventy
ninth year, was one of the most re-
markable English women of her gen
Grafton. An untiring worker for the
cause of woman in many ways, she
devoted years of the most strenuous
effort to preventing the passage of a
law providing for the state regulation
of vice in England. She held meetings
in almost every town in England and
Scotland often speaking from the tail
of cart in some market place; visit
cd warehouses;, prisons and hospitals,
and at last, after seventeen years
hard work, had the satisfaction of see-
ing the bill voted down in parliament.
Later she organized the International
Federation for the Abolition of the
State Regulation of Vice. Her propa-
ssanda was carried on at much personal
sacrifice. and often at no little per-
sonal risk, being denied lodging In GER
tain hotels and turned out of others as
soon as her name became known,
while often her friends felt obliged to
hustle her out of the reach of mobs.-

Hostesses' Union.

What is wanted is a hostesses' trade
union, a powerful combination of So
ciety women pledged to maintain their
own self-respect, and to extinguish
socially any man guilty of the slight
est lapse of the courtesy which every
woman has every right to expect, says
the Ladies' Field. The drawback to
the formation of such society lies in
the fact that unfortunately being re-
spected neither by men nor each 9th
er, most women do not respect them
selves either.

TO L1GHTEN.A NORTH ROOM.

TO LIGHTEN-A NORTH ROOM.
No one wants gloomy room, but
what to do with one facing north is
often a difficult problem.
Some people do without curtains
to allow all the light possible to come
into the room; but it is not SO much
light that one needs as sunshine,
and when this cannot be had, one
must make it, or, rather, get the ef-
feet of it. Try having 1t papered
with a soft yellow paper. A good
plan is to have a light yellow on
the walls as far as the picture mould
ing, and a lighter shade, almost a
cream, above this and on the cell
Ing. Then yellow silk sash curtains,
pulled back, tend to make room
appear sunny, says Home Chat.
Brass can make wonderful differ
ence to dreary room. A large jar
diniere, with a plant in 1t, placed
in a dark corner, will tighten up the
corner marvellously. Brass fireirons,
too, will give CHEEKY reflection, even
candlesticks help, and little trays and
bowls, be they ever SO small. The
Importance of brass In a sunless
room cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. Mirrors brighten it up, and
so do some pictures. with well polish

The measure about which so much
has been said during the present ses-
sion of the Legislature andsghich both
the Democrats and Republicans have
been threatening to pass, finally was
introduced in the Senate Monday morn
ing. The bill was offered by Senator
NJ. G. Watson, who beat Senator Frank
Rives toit few minutes.
The bill submits to the vote Of the
people the question as to allow the
State to vote as unit on the saloon
business. Instead of the county as the
unit this bill would provide for vote
in the entire State. and majority to
control every county, even though a
particular county, or several of them
should vote the ether way. The Sen
ate now has on tap formidable array
of iiquor bills. One establishes the
county as the unit, without excepting
those which have cities of the first,
second, third and fourth class within
their boundaries. Another bill. which
was introduced in the same body. pro-
vides for an excise commission which
will grant saloon licenses for the en-
tire State. This commission is TO

An Important Bill.

An important bill that will be intro
duced this session, will be the one
providing a new method of holding
State primary elections. 1t will pro-
vide that both political parties must
nominate all candidates for State
Offices on the same day and that day
shall be general registration day, that
the registration shall be extended so
that every voter in city and country
must register, and the registration
officers must also serve as primary
election officers, thus saving the ex-
pense of three sets of officers. The
bill further provides that the State
shall pay the expense of holding the
primaries, thus giving poor man a
chance to make race without having
to borrow enough money to put up his
entrance fee. The State now pays the
expenses of registration in the cities,
and il is contended that the additional
expense would not be great enough to
offset the merit of such bill.

disclaimed any interest in the lemain-
der. The sale of the tobacco has been
temporarily held up pending an investi-
cation that will establish Mr. Corey, s
