Thursday evening at the Congrega-
tional church Miss Ellen Stone deliv-
cred a lecture that was intensely in
teresting, and which was listened to
by a very large audience, filling the
inner part Of the auditorium. Miss
Stone spoke with special reference
to the improved conditions in Turkey,
stating that in certain portions Of
that country the people are coming to
adopt methods and modes Of living
that are in sympathy with the life
in this country. She said she had
a very hopeful feeling that the inn
p%rovement would extend and cover
a wider area Of country. Miss Stone
gave a very interesting and enter

for so long q period, the brigands
into whose hands she fell demand

finally raised by her friends and she
was restored her liberty. Miss

NEW YORK, October 30.-R. G. Dunn
f& Co.'S weekly review of trade says.
Further progress is making in trade
expansion and financial conditions are
more settled. while politics, In spite OF
the nearness of election day, do not
materially affect the business situation
The reports from the leading trade cir
cles are so uniformly favorable as to
leave no question of doubt as to il e
widespread character of the revival. II
is probably within due bounds to say
that at no previous period of it's history
has the wealth of the United States made
better showing of growth than it is
making at the present time.
The maintained high costs OF wool and
cotton add complications to the merchan-
dising of textiles and tend to force IT.
regular production. yet merchants agree
that the demand is broadening in diStrib-
uting channels, just as it has been ex-
banding in primary centers Tor some
weeks. Stocks in retailers hands are re-
duced and orders for fall have been So
conservatively placed that the rush for
immediate delivery of seasonabie mer-
chandise forces higher prices and jobbers
are asking that orders for deliveries IN
December be set ahead. Premiums are
being offered for quick delivery of several
kinds of knit goods. Prices are marked
lu daily and are already at a high level
although not up to 1907.
Improved conditions are still reported
in the footwear market. but some lines
continue neglected. Heavy staples are
selling well and shipments from Boston
show an increase. Heavy trading charac-
terizes the packer hide market with
branded hides for sole leather purposes
particularly active. Trading in sole Ieath-
er has improved appreciably many fair
sized sales being made in the Boston mar
ket, where stocks of union, hemlock and
oak are low.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The advance made in the bid for Greene
Cananea Copper stock at today's meet
ing Of the Stock Exchange. while not
more than an eighth of a point as COM
pared with the figures of yesterday, still
maintained the record Of that stock dur
Ing the past few days, of adding some
thing to the ascent which it Is making.
Lanston sold today at 1914, which Is a
lower level than the sales made yester-
day, and during the trading an offer
was made to sell large block at that
price. At the close it was offered for
sale on the same terms, with the bid an
eighth of a point below.
After call there was a transaction in
the stock at 1875. During the call sew
eral transactions were recorded at that
figure, but then it was Saturday and that
may account for apparent vagaries In the
character of the trading.
Mergenthaler achieved Its highest rec
ord for many months when 1t sold today
for 216h. This took place after the call
figure and also two for 216A During the
call the only transaction in the stock
was at the last-named price. Then the
bid did not rise above 2151z, while the
asking price was I'll.
Nothing was done in gas stock, bll,
after the call bid of IS was made for
twenty-five shares. The bid for the stock
during the call had risen to an eighth of
a point of that level, but the lowest ask
ing price was 6SSs.

brown sugar in place of the granu-
lated, and just before removing from

EVEN FANCY WORK
HURRIED NOWADAYS
Women Do Not Have the Time
to Devote to It That They
Had at One Time.

Fancy work! People surely do not
90 fancy work any more" echoed a
business woman not long ago When this
subject was mentioned. That there is
a greater sale for art materials" for
fancy work than there has ever been
shows this remark to have Been with
out foundation. People do more fancy
WORK than ever. but they wan quick
results and big effects" said one girl.
1t is the day of fast fancy work ..ust
the same as it is the fast other shings."
This girl who seemed to hit the crux
of the fancy work idea is an expert
in the new c%retonne work. which is the
most popular form of decorative art
this winter. Probably also there is nH
work which gives SO much in effect
for the money and in time invested.
Book racks. magazine racks, lamp
shades. boxes. blotters. picture frames.
desk pads and screens are all made
with ~cretonnes easily and deity with a
little practice.
II process is to glue the %cretonne on
a wooden frame, and 1t is one Of the
signs OF the popularity OF such work
that these frames are now kept among
the art materials in Chicago shops.
Also the foundations for burnt wood
articles are now pressed int the ser
vice by the woman whose fancy has
turned to cretOnne work. The process
is simple. as the cretonne Is glued to
the wood, the only thing necessary be
ing to put the glue on so evenly that 1t
does not run through. A gilt guinlpe
or braid is then added and the result
is a portfolio. letter box, or picture
ranle which we'll with the
best articles of French design and high

BREEDING The
MOST PRICED ASSET
Money Cannot Buy the Thing
That Is Most Valuable of
All to Women.

Breeding is the one thing in our mer-
cenary land that cannot be bought.
No amount OF money or position will
make up for that ~indchnable something
which we call being we'll bred.
The we'll bred girl nay be as poor as
that proverbial mouse OF churchly
haunts but no one will ever question
old sense of a woman of refined feeling
and deeds.
Rudeness is something that the we'll
bred girl never permits herself. How
ever much she may be tempte to be
snubby or cutting when people deserve
it she remembers that paying one back
in ones own coin is Ill bred.
Good breeding. while often a matter
of Inheritance, is more often due to
careful training and a desire not to
is we'll bred never presumes upon her
position, nor is she loud and conspicu-
Gus in appearance or manner
h we'll bred girl rarely apologies.
She does not do or say things that
make apologies necessary, and She does
not feel apologize for her cnNiron-
nents. however simple.
She Doesn't splurse.
If the truest los pitality Is to give
exactly what one has without
comment so is it also a sign of good
breeding. Tic make a splurge for out
7aAtLs AAioN NAAo ~ +"
splurge which can be i'll afforded. is a
sign that one does not feel socially Sc
cure.
The wan bred girl does not gossip
nor carry tales nor talk scandal. All
the other girls may do it and it may
seem quite harmless and amusing. but
1t is something that the girl of truly
refined feelings finds revolving.
If for no other reason, a girl should
1 shun talk that she would not be will
ing to stand by, because 1t often leads
TO unpleasant scenes and involves 9TH
ers in a network of disagreeableness
that is anything but a sign of good
breeding.
The we'll bred girl is not boastful. ag-
gressive nor unduly self assertive.
Above all she is not a :oady. There is
no surer sign of lack of breeding than
to strive to curry favor with one who.
by force OF circumstances, may have
more money OF influence than you
have.
