FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY
Better Showing Made In Several
Lines of Iron and Steel
Manufacture.

New York.-R. G. Dun e Co.'S
weekly Review of Trade" says:
"The stimulating effect of fine
spring weather is shown In the re-
ports from nearly all the principal
cities. Some progress is making to-
ward better things in iron and steel,
although conditions as a whole re-
main very unsettled. The continued
uncertainty as to prices in some
finished lines is the chief drawback,
widely circulated reports of further
price cutting having a depressing ef-
feet. The best feature is In the
structural division, the low prices
named resulting in a heavy move
ment, while orders pending aggregate
a substantial volume.
"In the primary cotton goods mar
ket manufacturers are disposed to
refuse contracts for future ship
ments, indications pointing to higher.
rather than recession in prices.
"The print cloth market Is we'll
sold up both in the East and South,
while plaids and other colored goods
are in satisfactory shape and both
staple and dress ginghams are sold
ahead for some distance.
"In the woolen goods division, the
distribution of sample pieces is now
completed and clothiers will begin to
go on the road next week. Some du-
pllcate trade is already reported in
the primary market, an indication
that orders have been placed by re-
tail clothhers.
The Eastern boot and shoe market
Is quiet, wholesalers as rule limit
Ing the volume of new orders, but
trade shoys a slight increase over the
volume of business effected during the
past six or eight weeks.
"Sole and upper leather continues
quiet, although there has been a
slight increase in the demand, and
tanners are holding prices steady,
owing to the high market for hides"

HedehO Work.

Handsome pieces of Hedebo work
are seen in some of the shops. This
work of the Danish women is among
the most effective and exquisite nee
dlework in the world. 1t is not only
effective, but will last lifetime, so
carefully is every stitch placed in
the linen. 1t is expensive in Den

so on this side of the water. Yet

Choice of Hats.

Among the between season hats
there are three really sensible, pretty
shapes to choose from, all equally
fashionable. There is the natty,
smart turban in horsehair, crushed
novelty braid or jet for the elderly
woman A neat little high crowned
narrow brimmed hat, becoming to the
petite figure possessing small fea-
lures, but lacking height. And the
bowl shaped toque or hat, named ac-
cording to its size-for it may be an
inverted bowl or an immense mush-
room-that will suit the tall figure.
