OD0 EFFECTS OF TARIFF BILL
INITIATION OF PRICES FOLLOWS
REVISION DOWNWARD.
Evidence That the Consumer Is Not
Receiving Expected Benefits,
but Business Improves.

That revision downward tariff bill is
having some queer effects upon some COM
modities. Trade reports this morning
show that notwithstanding iron ore and
pig iron were both reduced by the new
tariff, prices of basic steel and iron have
advanced. The Carnegie Steel Company
has increased the price of steel sheets 81
ton and the independent companies are
following suit.
Basic iron and steel has Increased within
a week, and there is not enough in SIGHT
to ''go around among the users of the
metal. The tariff on steel rails has been
cut in half. but as yet there is no notice
OF any reduction in the fare to Baltimore
or in the freight on crate Of cantaloupes
from Norfolk. MIR. Consumer isn't get
ting his yet
There is no question, however, that busi-
ness Is improving among the manufactur-
ers. Several big trunk line railways have
placed orders for more cars and rails, and
| 1t is declared that some Of the steel trust s
mills are booked with orders far into the
fall months.
Mills on Full Time.
The hosiery mills around Philadelphia
and Reading are starting up full time.
notwithstanding the fact that immense
stocks of foreign hosiery were imported
| in bond, in anticipation of the Increased
| tariff on some Of the commoner grades.
and that those stocks will be marketed be-
| fore the mill run Is put on sale.
Prices of fOodstu1S are expected to
| keep up and to advance through the iir-
| direct effect of the tariff. II is argued
| that the resumption of So many in
| duStrial concerns and the taking on OF
| more thousands OF Workingmen will
create additional demand for food prod
| ucts, and that prices will be enhanced
! in consequence. That is what the re-
| publicans have taught for years-keep
| the mills going with the tariff and fur
| nish a market for the farmers prod
uctS.
Boom in Manufactures.
A big business boom in the cotton
| manufacturing districts Of the south is
| expected from the recasting of the cot
| ton schedule OF the tariff bill. which
| furnishes protection to the manufactur-
ers. The Congressional Record teens
| with the protests against the iniquitous
| republican tariff by the withdrawn tie
statesmen of Dixie, while the manufac-
! turers of their section are increasing
| the capitalization of their mills and
| breaking ground for new works. The
| statesmen and the millmen do not gee.
There is no indication of any of the
| southern industries resenting the hate
| full fostering of the wicked Yankee
| tariff, and the cheerful snip of the cou-
| pon-clipping scissors will still be heard
| below Mason and Dixons line.

linQerie Costumes.

Among the silk mousseliHes oGth white and pale grays are made over the most lovely shade of pink satin, and promise from present orders to be rather leading smartness for wear at hotel dinners and all evening occa- sions at southern resorts where the Overdressing that so often prevails is not indulged in. Such gowns have applied trimmings in soft silky fabrics representing floral vines in both gray and pink, that ape at the subjective ness of color. as seen in tapestry ef- fects. The sheath-like princess models have a unique waistline decoration in the gray or the white of skirt, repeat ing in scant form a girdle in the flower and foliage style seen on the skirt below. This happily removes the baroness of an untrimmed skirt top in one with the lower bodice. Upon bust and decolletage the skirt bottom de sign is repeated suitably, with tulle and lace added and that enter also into the sleeves which are of half length.
