NATURE LOVES BRIGHT CoLoRs

We see the truth Of this statement
in the varicolored flowers, the vivid
sunsets, the birds of brilliant plumage
But we never see it exemp1ified more
attractively than in the person of
splendidly healthy woman. How does
nature paint this health? Why, in the
rosy cheeks of the transparent skin
the smooth red lips of such a wo-
man. And she molds it in firm flesh
and round contours. The ailing wo-
man is deficient in natural coloring,
and she does not even appear to ad-
vantage in clothes that would set off
her more attractive sister. Many wo-
men who long for glowing health will
find that they. too. can have these
charms If they will give a trial to
that remedy which brings strength to

Copper Steady.

NEW YORK, July S.-The demand
for steel continues active and orders
are gaining steadily on production
Prices are firmly held and producers
are offering cautiously. as labor con-
ditions furnish disturbing factor
Pig iron is firm, owing to the fuel
situation, and buyers are conserva-
tive, although stocks are moderate.
Copper has shown a steadier tone.
There were reports that some copper
was being resold at concessions in

so, II appeared to be soon absorbed,
as sales were reported later at IAN
C. i. f. European ports. which is equal
to 1873 f. a. $. New York.
Improved Inquiry Noted.
Meanwhile there has been a mod
crate improvement in the inquiry
from domestic consumers for July
and August shipment at steady prices,
with no offerings below 1874. Pro,
duction is still hampered by shortage
of labor. Deliveries into domestic
consumption in June are estimated
at S0.0O0.000 and exports at about
$4,000. 900. making a total of $780,
100000 for the month.
Tin has been quiet but firmer. The
strength in London, with improve
ment in sterling exchange and the
small increase in the visible supply.
formed the basis for the advance.
Other Metals Steady.
Lead is steady While present
trade is light cable interests are
expected in the market shortly for
liberal amounts.
Zinc firm with a good demand for
ore. which suggests increased pro-
duction. There has been a better
demand for galvanizers here and
abroad.
Antimony steady and unchanged
with only a moderate inquiry.
