 Came the vinegar cure, and we all know that vinegar isn't very fragrant odor.
 But Betty didn't mind that for she thought that the acid stuff was cutting away the hideous brown crust from her pretty little face
 Some one suggested that she might get the same results from a lemon juice and still not reek of a pickle barrel, and so accordingly lemons were purchased Tn wholesale lots. By this time Betty's poor little face re- sembled a lobster, and hurt her so badly that she could scarcely powder it. It grew more and more infiamed until finally she could hardly use any water on it.

New York. September 13.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will sag:
 Record breaking crops and record preaK- ing production of iron. steel, copper ard other products have created d convietloh that the advance toward coirplete re- storation of mercantile prosperity is sure and permanent. The principal obstacles to that advance are shortage in money, tabor and in the transportation facihtles'
 New orders in iron and steel are in eX- cess of output. The latest statement ot the leading interests showed gain ot over 5o6O0o tons in unified contracts, which shows :bat heavy bookings are be- ing made for next year. Further price advances have been announced on several products while Bessemer pig iron IS at tfe highest point of the year. Taere IS a growing scarcity of crude steel materlal and odd lots gre commanding premium. In finished hnes foreign business IS feature. The general situation Tn the dry goods markets shows further improve ment cotton goods holding steady, m adjustment If labor troubles being effected and current demand for woolens and wor- steds being wei maintained. In cot tons there is a notable lack of surplus goods in first hands and joobers doirg an increasing business are asking Tor prompt delivery of orders.
 Export trade is seasonably quiet but the situation is above that of year ago. Nu- merous urgent reorders are reported H. woolens and worsteds and many mills are so busly engaged that they cannot meet tho new business rendered. Almost all kinds of goods are in request. the manu- featuring outlook has seldom been pet ter.
 Optimism continues to prevail through out the footwear market. There IS no decrease in the strength of all the varl- cities of skins and while business is less active than formerly it is mainly because stocks have. been closely cleaned up.

New York, September 13.-Brad- streets tomorrow will say:
 Trade has lost none of its vim and activity though it is modified in de- gree in some parts of the southwest where excessive heat has prevailed' while being accentuated throughout the west and northwest. Everywhere buy ing is predicted on the uniformly good influences that record or close to record crops will generate. and hnanciers, merchants and captains of industry are exceedingly optimistic. Jobbers rather than first hands are occupying the cen ter of the stage but manufacturers are experiencing especial activity in turn ing out orders previously booked. However, the pre-eminent features at the moment are the active demands made on jobbers for goods intended for near future sales. House trade, es- pecially in dry goods and kindred lines. has been especially good while road sales are of larger proportions. Mall orders for sorts have appeared in rath- CT liberal volume and incidentally more or less spring business in dry goods has developed but on the whole orders for distant delivery are not unworthy
 One of the best evidences of expected demand is furnished by the urgent calls of interior merchants for prompt shipments and in order to satify these requests packing rooms are Work1ng to full capacity. Activity Is not con fined to any one particular line or local ity but is more conspicuous in the northwest where sales are of record volume and even the south Is joining in the general movement.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending September 12 were 234 against 1S1 last week, 219 in the like week of 1912 210 in 1910, 19S in 1909 and 266 in 1908. Business failures in Canada for the week number 2S, which contrast with 20 of last week and 29 in the like week of 1911.
 Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending September 12, aggregate 4,1e1,612 bushels against 4,4S1,66S last week and 9,369,943 this week last year. For the Il weeks ending September 12 exports are 34,566,072 bushels against 29,227,120 in the corresponding period last year.
 Corn exports for the week are 51,259 bushels against 45,292 last week and 733,016 in 1911. For the Il weeks end- ing September 12, corn exports are s5S,66 bushels against 5,419,77S last year.
