DUN's WEEKLY REPORT.
Sentiment Regarding the Futuz
 Grows Mere ConMdent.

Sentiment Regarding the Future
 Crows More Conndent.
 New York. Aug. 14.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
 Trade reports continue irregular with pronounced gains in some sections and no improvement in others, the net result being encouraging. however and sentiment regarding the future grows more confident each week. Steel de- mand is steadily broadening, each week bringing larger percentage of active capacity and the improvement is especially gratifying in view of the few orders from the railways. The export contracts are recorded in every department of the industry. from pig iron to steel rails, and further im- provement in this respect Is also anti cipated.
 Sales of pig iron are made for de- livery during the first half of next year and some coke ovens have also received orders covering the same pe- riod while larger movements of ore down the Lakes. The lighter lines of steel continue actively engaged, mo- tably wire products. pipe and plates. Textile markets have been dominated this week by the second big auction sale. buyers ever devoting attention to seeking bargains there or awaiting the effect on the general market. A large attendance of outside jobberS and retailers at theo auction promises business in regular departments next week. although many come on to spe- cialize In this particular line. Re- ports from visiting jobbers indicate low stocks of some grades. but abund- ant supplies in other lines which makes the outlook uncertain. Prices are nominal on account of small cash transactions for current needs which are necessarily limited. Many cotton mills are idle next week pend ing a more definite tendency in the market. Aside from small sales of light weights naturally lower than in regular trade channels. are fairly up to expectations.
 The wool trade has a cheerful tone and good interest is displayed by large and small buyers. Spring lines are sttn being opened and the outlook is regarded as encouraging. Manufac- turers of cheap and medium grades of shoes are doing relatively better than in more expensive lines. Stocks in retailers and jobbers' hands are re- ported light, and Eastern shipments are larger, still they are below last year for the week and season, the lat- ter by 31 per cent.
 Business failures in the United states Tor the week ending Aug. 1S number 24s against 2o5 last week and 146 in the like week of 1907.
 Canadian failures for the same pe- riod number 31 against 19 last week. and 30 In the corresponding week 6f last year.
 Wheat, including four exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending Aug. IS. aggregate s.7s0.272 bushels. against 3,sss,s4S last week and 2,947,443 this week last year.
 For the seven weeks ending Aug. IS, this year, the exports are 1s,s65,069 bushels, against is,S11,1ss in the cor responding period last year.
 Corn exports for the week are 3s,- 917 bushels against 114.622 last week and 1.44i,727 in 1907.
 For the seven weeks ending Aug. IS, the corn exports are 37s,70s bushels against 1o,711,s6e In the same period last year.

The American Husband.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 One need not be. deeply versed in European habits and characteristics to feel that If true chivalry toward wo- men lives in the world today, 1t is to be found in America. The American has his faults, but. thank heaven, Faith In womankind beats in his blood. The whole attitude toward the conception of woman in America differs from Eu- ropean notions. Glaze it over as we may, the wife to the European IS "something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse" Women suf- fragists talk of the equality of women in this country as if equality were an aim to be striven for. but If the ideas of equality have triumphed in any one particular in America 1t is in relation to woman. Americans have gone fur- ther than that; they have idealized wo- man and made herl the favorite Of for tune.

COTTAGE BONNET sTIRs ENGLAND


 A Style in Which TwinkIinK Eyes
 Shine MischievOusIy. London Special.
 Women in general have capitulated hands down to the cottage bonnet.
 No feature of dress has ever assurn- ed more sudden and unexpected pop- ularity, and every dressmaker of to- day is striving to work a little of her individuality into her quaint schemes The funnel" of the bonnet Is al- ready increasing its dimensions. and like the man in the poem who fell in love with a lady in coal scuttle, T only to discover at last that its vol luminous brim hid the features of his elderly aunt, 1t is almost impossible to recognize ones acquaintances en silhouette.
 For motoring the bonnet fits close ly roun1 the face and head, and Is fashioned of very soft straw. in mole or green, with n0hing but a twisted rope of oldfashioned sarcenet ribbon tied In a chou on either side. and a gauffered cap of creamy lace to frame the features becomingly inside, while the tying of the mole-colored or green veil over his is a very simple matter But where the bonnet for the river launch, the seaside or the garden party Is concerned, for more fancy and lh ECQulSlAlOHSus some pretty examples are carried out in soft white straw, with a serried row of full-blown pink roses marking the division between the 5oi-disant crown and brim. and tied with lowered rib bon consisting of a pure white ground work sprigged with pink rosebuds Another pretty design was illustrated by a bonnet of white straw with mar ket punches of jesFamine and moss

 In nearly every instance there is a cap of lace to soften the brim. while not a few milliners are evolving ex. amples fin drawn silk spotted muslin and satin, and e brisk business is be- ing done in sunbonnets for seaside or country wear,

He0Uy Lnr00ds Made on State
 Treasury to Maintain Military

That the States strong box Is smart ing under the heavy drain of active military maintenance Is shown by talk ing the sum of all warrants drawn by the Auditor on vouchers sent down from Birmingham by the military ,au- thorities.
 When yesterday State Auditor W. w Brandon drew warrants aggregating $3ISl.ls on account of the Birming- ham strike, 1t became known that the State of Alabama has already paid out since July 2s a total of $17, ,160 .04. This is the expense of the soldiers for It, tie over a half month. Nor does 1t represent anything like the average of the daily expense of the soldiers in and around the Magic City. The period in- cludes several days when there were only about 300 men on duty, being

three troops of cavalry and as many batteries of artillery.
 Since the entire 1st Regiment. well nigh intact. was put into active ser vice In the mineral region the war rants began to increase by gallops, for there were nearly a thousand men pla9ed on the pay rolls. They are re- ceiving twice the pay of the regular army private. The cost of commissary Is also a big item.
 Indicative of the increases in ex- penses since the first warrant was drawn July 28. the following Is a state- ment of the total expenditures on &C., count of the miners strike given out by the Auditor yesterday: July 2s, s25o; August 5. $5.000; August 10. S9.- 72S.S6. and August 14, $2.1S1.ls.
 The estimate now IS that if no more than regiment is kept on duty around Birmingham the cost to the State may average s2,000 a day.

 love all animals, even spiders, they spin so cleverly and are such excellent mothers. Besides. they are musical. My friend, the Swedish composer, Hall storm, told me that for a long time he had two spiders which would let them selves down from the ceiling by long threads when he played, and station themselves on the plano near the music. Of ants and bees I will not speak; one who does not love them is so stupid that I have nothing to say to him. Even wasps are not as black as they are painted. For snakes only I have no liking. they terrify me; but my aversion Is doubtless due to the fact that I have not studied them enough. It seems to me impossible not to love an animal whose innocence and good ness one has accurately compreh ended.

Walter Durham, a negro, says. in his opinion, the marking of money is an unfair advantage to take of a gentleman who has . penchant for collecting the national medium of ex- change in the possession of another.
 Walter was. until yesterday, a trust- ed employe of J Marcus, a storekeeper on Water Street. Marcus has been harassed and grieved at the disap- pearance of some of his finances, and believing the leak" was internal, put pencil marks on a ss bill.
 The day following he asked Dem ham to change some money for him, and, as unsuspecting as a little child, Walter pulled out his money, part of which was a s2 note. Mir. Marcus clinched on the note, found his marks showed them to the negro and called an officer.
 When asked in police court what he had to say that might prevent his be- ing fined $25 for being thief, Walter replied that such traps as the marking of money were too mean to be dis cussed in public.
 Chief Walters moved that this be accepted as information, and held the door open as walter was escorted to the Chateau de Atkins.
