Duns Weekly Report Says Large
Volume is Done, But no
Increase is Shown

New York, Feb. 23,--R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say:
"A large volume of business is
being done, but because it does not
break previous records and does not
progress and steadily increase, there
is disposition to describe trade
conditions as less than satisfactory
The iron and steel trade is indeed
less active, though several large or
ders have come in as to prices,
terms or modified in some instances
according to the desirability of Or
ders.
wholesale dry goods markets
display further seasonable activity
in advancing prices and retailers
operating carefully but broadly in a
wide range of fabrics.
Export Trade Good.
"The greatest strength continues
in drills, sheetings, ducks and heavy
colored cloths but fine cotton goods
also show definite Improvement.
Business in woolens and worsteds is
expanding and prices show all up
ward tendency. Yarns rule very
firm and there is moderate demand
for silks.
export trade is good, recent sales
including 1000 bales of three yard
sheetings to China; 1000 bales of
standard prints to India and many
miscellaneous lots for Africa.
Business in the New England
footwear market continues quiet.
Hides are firm, with the tendency OF
prices against the buyers. Orders
are coming in moderately and most
shoe factories are sufficiently sup
piled with contracts to keep them
employed for weeks"

dullness descended upon the stock
market again today which was unre-
lieved save for some activity at the
opening and in the final hour. Anal
gamated Copper, the Electric COM
panies, Wheeling and Lake Erie
moved within the narrow limits
which recently have characterized
their course while shares of less I'M
portance made material gains.
Strength Of copper properly was
induced by announcement of another
advance in the price of metal.

the various industrial issues moved
listlessly. United States Steel was
wea in the early dealings, falling Il

How to Check Slang.

The too frequent S Of slang now
adays has made it a matter to think
of because of the hold it has on the
average boy. The use Of good English
at all times is preferable and should
be encouraged. In a family where
there are several boys the tendency is
for them to be very slangy. In one
Brooklyn family where they have at
tempted to solve it they have adopted
an unusual plan. A list is made Of
the members of the family. and when
ever anybody uses a slang word he re-
ceives a check against his name.
Sometimes the father will make a slip,
and it gives the boys a great deal Of
delight to convict him Of thoughtless-
ness in this regard. At the end Of the
week the bad marks are counted up.
and the boy who receives the largest
number has to treat the rest. The
boys do not object to this scheme, and
they are benefited by the check it
puts upon their slips in speech

Thinqs Girls Should Know.

Freshly cut flowers may be kept nice
for a long time by putting their
steams in freshly cut potato. Stand
the potato in a vase or bowl and fill
with water.
Velvet that has been hastily spot
ted with rain should not be brushed
dry. Shake the velvet and leave it.
The water will evaporate and show no
mark unless the velvet was dutsy be-
fore getting rained on. In that case
wipe the velvet while still rain damped
with a clean damp cloth. This will re-
move the dust. Then shake well and
leave to dry.
Lemon juice and salt spread ove the
stains made by ordinary ink and the
cloth then laid in the bright sun will
erase the stains within a few hours.
OF course this recipe is for cotton and
linen, but not applicable to silk or
woolens. as the lemon would remove
their color.
