F|NlNCE AND TRADE REVIEW
TRADE AND INDUSTRY
IRREGULAR AND QUIET
Bradstreet's Reports Evidence Of I'm
provement In Western
Distribution.

'Irregularity and relative quiet are
still ruling features in trade and in
dustry, but evidences of improvement
in Western distribution are rather
sharply in contrast with the reports
er weather is the key to the better
crop and trade reports received this
week from the West, Northwest and
Southwest, while cool, moist condi-
tionh along the Atlantic coast, now
disappearing, have been a bar to trade
and crop developments in the East.
Relatively best reports come from
Western cities and towns, while coun-
try trade, though better, is slower to
respond, owing to farmers being bust
In work on hitherto delayed crops.
"The leading industries conditions
have not as yet responded to the bet
ter features above depicted Short
time Is evident In nearly all lines, OF
textile manufacture, cotton goods still
rejecting the stress of high prices for
raw material and arrested demand for
goods. The percentage of idle looms
and spindles ranges from 25 per cent
upward. Pre-inventory sales of cot
ton and dress goods at lower prices
have helped to enlarge distribution by
jobbers East and West
'Short time is also witnessed in
woolen goods manufacture. Buyers
at wholesale still display caution and
conservatism and business as whole
in textiles is characterized as of
peddling nature. In pig iron produc-
tion still outruns consumption and
prices are weak. Finished lines
show effects of restricted buying, bas-
er on hopes of lowered costs.
Failures in the United States for
the week ending with June 16 were
178, against 1S9 last week, 213 In the
like week of 1909, 254 in 1908, 165 in
1907 and 173 in 1906. Business fall

27, which compares with S6 last week
and 26 in the corresponding week Of

Hints.

A handful of flour bound on a cut
will stop the bleeding in short time.
Dip the ink spot in pure melted tai
low; then wash out the tallow and
the ink will come out of linen with it.
When the lamp chimney has been
smoked put it under the faucet and
the cold water takes it all off nice
and clean.
A flannel dipped into boiling water
and sprinkled with turpentine and
laid on the chest will relieve cold and
hoarseness.
Put oniops in a deep dish and fill
with cold water; peel from the water,
this will prevent them from making
the eyes weep.
When knocking the crusts off a
slice of toast, try using wooden po-
toto masher and see how much easier
and better the work is done.
A tablespoonful of strong coffee put
into the gravy of melted butter, pep
per and salt to be poured over beef
steak, imparts a delicious flavor to it.
A teaspoonful of vinegar put into a
lamp or oil stove that smells or
smokes, will cause it to burn with a
clear light and prevent it from smok
ing.
The three or five-arm towel rack
will be found great convenience in
the kitchen for drying the dish towels
on damp day. 1t is not so unsightly
as a line stretched across the kitchen
to be used for drying purposes.
For the busy housekeeper who
wants to whip cream when it seems
too thin or perverse, try setting the
dish of cream in a bowl of real cold
water; then take from the cold water
and put in hot water and the dis
couraged house wife will find the
cream will whip like magic.
To clean an oil painting rub a
freshly cut slice of potato dampened
in cold water over the picture. The
lather should be wiped off with a soft,
damp sponge and then the picture
should be washed with lukewarm wa
ter, dried and polished with a piece
of soft silk that has been washed.
Before washing, look over all linen
for spots. Tea and coffee stains usual
ly yield to hot water when poured
steadily through them. Fruit stains,
or in fact any stain, can always be
removed by rubbing pure glycerin in
to them before putting into water. AT.
ter washing, dry in sunshine or
open air.

Fashion Notes.

Allover embroidery in colors to
match the suits is good.
Pearls in many colors are used to
embroider taffeta suits instead OF
braid
Coarse blue linen frocks, embroid-
cred with blue and coral silk, are
made for young girls. These are worn
with lace guimpes, and are collar
less.
On many of the lingerie dresses
English eyelet embroidery is used. 1t
is combined with voile de cotton,
much in demand now, because it does
not crumple easily.
A. separate blouse must be In every
ones possession. The newest model
is formed Of ribbon the same color as
the material of the skirt, and is worn
over lace underslip.
Lace and more lace. 1t perches In
huge bows on hats; it covers silk
evening gowns; it forms beautiful
wrars, either in separate glory or
combined with gold tulle.
Scarlet cloth is used here for ex-
tremely short coats, belted in with
black patent leather. Black satin re-
vers decorate these jackets that are
giving touch of color to the lawns
or porches.
Little girls are wearing hats that
have departed from the simplicity SC
popular in America A mass of lace
and frills crowns each little ones
head, no matter how plain the coat OF
dress may be.
The Hedebo embroidery in many
respects is suggestive Of the exquisite
Madeira embroidery. The designs
however, are distinctly different, be-
ing far more suggestive Of filet net
than any other kind Of handwork.
Paisley effects are again with us, in
chiffon, net, satin, foulards and pom
gee, giving touches Of rich colotings
Indeed, the Paisley printed pongee
is used extensively as trimming fol-
frpcks and suits of natural-cdored
pongee, shantung and tussore.

There must be something in sport
ing blood that produces the musical
temperament when the two most tai
ented of young American musicians,
Geraldine Farrar and Albert Spald-
ing, are both the children of famous
baseball players. The distinguished
soprano is the daughter of Sid. G.
Farrar, long a member of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, and the greatest
of American violin virtuosos is
the son of Al. G. Spalding, whose ca
reer and fame are too we'll known for
repetition here.
Mr. Spalding is a violinist of the
most extraordinary technical powers.
He has a beautiful sensuous tone,
great warmth of conception, joined
with comprehensive mentality
which enables him to put these quail
ties to the best use.
Spalding has in his artistic make
up that which appeals to both lay
man and professional; his warm,

The younger ladies especially atfected

In many cases wonderful shoes OF

When their trains were spread out
these young ladies looked rather like
bellies of the late Regency period, an
epoch which up to now we have not
been wont to think of as famous for
good dressing. The Queen keeps so
vigorously to the conventional cut OF
court dress that she can hardly have
regarded with favorable eye SUCH

Luncheons for Brides.

Every hostess takes pride in invent
ing novel and pretty decorations for
her luncheons, teas and dinners, and
she takes special pride when the
guest Of honor is young bride or
bride-to-be. 1t is never difficult
matter to evolve something attrac-
tive for festivity connected with
marriage, for there are so many
charming designs that can be used
cupids, hearts, wedding bells, wedding
rings and the like.
At luncheon given last week for
an engaged girl the color scheme was
pink and white, pink being the fav.
orite color OF the bride-elect. The
hostess was the latter's closest
friend, and all the guests were lnti-
mates of the two, which made the
luncheon very jolly affair.
The chandelier, above the table,
was festooned with pink and white
tulle, and suspended from it was q
large golden hoop Stimulating we'd
ding ring. From the hoop streamers
of pink and white ribbon stretched to
each cover, held in place there by
tiny cupids, each cupid bearing a
card with the name Of the guest to
whom the place had been assigned
Bride roses filled a cut glass bowl in
the centre of the table, were clustered
in vases and bowls on sideboard and
mantel, and nodded in banks from
the low window seats.
Yellow luncheons are very approp-
riate when the guest of honor Is a
bride, since yellow suggests sun
shine. At one such luncheon in early
summer last year a wedding bell
covered with field daisies with yellow
hearts and black-eyed Susans with
yellow petals hung above the table.
A big fat dish of old brass, filled with
yellow lady's slippers, stood in the
centre of the table, and wreath Of
daisies and smilax followed the curve
of the table, just inside Of the plates.
Daisy festoons stretched from the
chandelier to the four corners of the
room, anu QdlSleS tlu DldCh-cyS GU puo-
ans and tall feathery grasses were
banked on the mantelpiece and
massed in earthenware pots Of
quaint and unusual shapes.
The place cards at this luncheon
were tiny yellow satin slippers filed
with rice. the little card with the
name on it half hidden in the rice.
Other pretty place cards for engage
ment or bridal luncheons are hand
painted designs showing girls head
framed in a wedding ring. cupids
peepipg through heart design, or
twin hearts pierced with arrows. A
woman with some skill in water col
ors and certain amount of inven-
ton can easily paint the carus ror a
luncheon and, knowing the fads and
fancies of her guests, can get in lit
tie personal touches that will enliven
the luncheon immensely.-New York
