USES FOR FAGOTING.

Fagoting Is one of the most use
full as well as attractive of the
decorative stitches and II has many
uses. 1t has been frequently seen
on dresses during the last winter,
and is still in evidence. Yokes of
any shape are attached to a waist
by row of this fagoting, and the
lower. faring sleeve sections are
often attached by the same method.
Panels may be set in skirts or over
skirts, and hens set on garments
by means of fagoting.
The plain stitch is not at all diff :
ficult. the hardest work being pre-
paratory. II a curved edge is to be
attached to something by this
stitch. a rather stiff piece of paper,

instance. basted to il perfectly

Hide Trade Improves.

More positive evidence of improve
ment appears in the hide trade and
allied lines. General inquiry and de-
mand for both domestic and foreign
hides have increased substantially.
indicating that leather tanners are in
a more favorable position. and higher
prices on raw material are now the
rule. Despite the closely so!d-up con-
dition of certain varieties. aggregate
business in hides last month was OF
large proportions. and transa ctions in
leather were more numerous and
more diversified. While activity in
footwear at retail has been some
what slow to develop. purchasing has
recently become more frequent. and
fall prospects are favorable. With
the advancing leather market, a
further lessening of hesitation in buy
ing on the part OF shoe retailers may
later be witnessed

General UpIDard Trend
Continues in Commodities

Although a reactionary tendency de-
veloped last week in a number oil
important products. the general up
ward trend of prices in the whole
sale commodity markets continued. 0l
advances appearing in the comprehen-
sive list of quotations compiled by
Dun's Review, as against % recess
sions. This compares with AZ IN
creases and 30 declines during the
previous week, while in the corre-
spending week last year 81 advances
contrasted with "a reductions.
Persistent liquidation caused an
other sharp decline in wheat prior to
the holiday. but renewed foreign de-
mand and better cash buying resulted
in some recovery. Other grains, al
though Influenced to some extent by
the movements of wheat, fiuctuated
moderately and held comparatively
strong. In live meats, demand for
beef and sheep was about equal to
supply and price changes were ins:g-
nificant, but hogs improved on liberal
commission house buying and this had
a Strengthening effect on provisions.
Quotations of butter were depressed
by heavy receipts. but offerings of
cheese were moderate and prices Of
the finer grades tended upward. An
unsettled feeling prevailed in eggs the
best selections bringing higher prices
because of shortage in supply,
while the medium and average grades
weakened under large arrivals and
liberal offerings.
The recent increase in the volume
of business has stimulated the co1-
tidence Of producers and prices of iron
and steel are strong, all changes an
nounced this week being toward a
higher level. A much better feeling
is developing in the miscellaneous
metal group. The rise in raw ma
terial holds quotations OF cotton goods
very finn, while sentiment In hides
and leather is more cheerful and re-
cent advances have been fully main
tained.

MANS CONCERT COMPANY
 PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE

Mans Concert company of the Northern Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff, gave a most interesting program last Friday night at the Sultana. This concert company is un- der the direction of MT. Ridgely, head of the violin department at the Nor nal. The work of the chorus was particularly good as they all sang with rythm and feeling. Needless to say they were charming to look at. The violin numbers by Mir. Ridgely were beautifully played, the G Minor Sonata of Grieg's being seldom heard in its entirety. ., :,
 The readings by Miss Dewey added a very pleasing variety to the pro- gram and were thoroughly appreciat- ed. The gipsy dance by the Misses Catherine Beckwith and Lucretia Me- Mullen was very graceful and cap tured the heart of the audience i'm mediately.
 Prof. McMullen, president of the Normal, is to be highly commended for adding music to his curriculum.
 The entertainment cleared $36 for the athletic fund of the Williams school. Come again Flagstaff Nor mal. We like to see and hear you.-- Williams News.
