TRADE FAVORABLE
SAYS DUN REPORT
Backward Season is Said to
be a Drawback to
Business.

New York. May 1S.-R. G. Dun e.
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Apart from the backwardness of
the season, the business situation as
a whole maintains its recent favora-
BILE aspect. The most significant
movement is that i'm the iron and
steel trade, in which the west reports
are of an expanding demand with
premiums being offered in some in
stances for prompt delivery. So far
as this industry Is concerned there
has been a complete breaking away
from the hesitation that has hitherto
prevailed and in all instances now
point to a period of marked activ-
ity.
Steel and Iron Good.
Theer is a broadening demand
from the railroads. with rail con-
tracts still an important factor, and
car builders arc booked we'll into the
fall. The larger steel plants are now
operating close to capacity, heavy
specifications having come forward
on bars, plates. shapes. sheets and
tin plates. while the output of iron
is on a larger scale than ever before.
Deliveries of steel materials are not
SO prompt as in recent weeks, and
billets ave advanced fifty cents a
ION, WIN feSSemer bllletS
ing a slight premium over open
hearth. Pipe and tube shipments
this month are exceeding the move
ment in April and makers of wrought
pipe have enough orders ahead to
carry beyond the first half of the
year.
Dry Goods Steady.
Although there is considerable
complaint in the dry goods market
that the weather has bee nunfavor-
able for the retail distribution of sea-
sonable merchandise. values of cot
ton goods hold generally steady, and
in woolens an advancing tendency is
noted in a lumber of lines. In cot
tons trade in domestic staples is
steady. but %seasonably light. Drills
and sheetings are firmer than print
cloths or the finer convertibles.
Staple ginghams are firm and tick
ings, denims. cheviots and shirtins
chambrays are being ordered mod
erately. Miscellaneous export trade
with Manila and other ports contin-
ues better than last year.. but there
is a little demand from China.
Leather Strong.
In leather. pronounced strength
continues to rule. Sharp advances
have again occurred in about all va
rieties of hides, especially packer
stock.

WALKING TIME IS CUT Off
able Trouble In tho Adirondack
Region.

There fs trouble in the southern Sec
ton of Essex county because certain
road superintendents, new In office,
have cut off walking time" That is
something probably unknown in the
city, but in the Adirondacks, a section
of great distances, 1t is Of Importance
to men working on the new roads
being built by the state. Able-bodied
msn live at such distances from each
other and from their work that when
a gang finally Is got together some OF
the men are certain to have walked
miles from home. If married, as they
usually are in the mountains, they
have the Same walk back at night.
This became known as walking time;
that ia, the nan was on the Job the
moment he took up his dinner pail and
started to walk to his work, even
though 1t took him an hour or an hour
and a half to get there. He also
quit that much earlier than others In
the evening, but was "at work" and
paid for it when walking home. The
new superintendent have decided the
state cannot afford to pay men for
walking, and have cut off that time.
The result is a great discomfort and
trouble in getting sufficient men for
script.

HEADGEAR OF FRENCH WOMEN
All Kinds Of Fantastic Ornaments
Used to Cover Heads for Eve
Ming Wear,

A we'll known Paris painter gave a
lecture a few days ago on the man
ner in which women covered their
heads with all kinds Of fantastic orna-
ments in the evening. He said that
1t was a pity when hair had 30 much
expression in wave and color to CON
ceal so much beauty beneath so-called
fashionable accessories. .
All the time this gentleman was ex-
pressing his views on this subject the
audience was much amused at the
presence of a beautiful actress famous
for her exaggerated head dresses.
On this occasion she wore a cap OF
gold and white brocade with a high
mass Of white aigrettes extending
around the front from a to ear. From
the center of her forehead stood a
black aigrette almost tow feet high
held by an enormous cabochon in cut
Jet. Whether this lady will h~enceforth
follow the conferencier's suggestion
remains to be seen. But 1t is said
that we shall soon be wearing a rose
and little else in the hair.-Gentle-

the first metal known to man because
1t is generally found native. The old
est metallic objects to which We can
assign probable date are thought to
be those found in a royal tomb at
Nagada In Egypt supposed to have
been that Of King Menes. In one of
the chambers were some bits of gold
and a bead, button, and a fine wire
of nearly pure copper. If the tomb
has been properly identified, these OBJ
Jects are at least $500 years old Near
