P.LVIEW OF TRADE. Business Growing Better Unsettled Conditions Exist In Pig Iron Market. R. O. Dun A Co.'s "Weekly Review of Trade" says: Conditions continue satisfactory outsldo the region of sko ulatlun, r.iasy roports indicating fur thci improvumunt. During recent month the two disturbing factors havo been labor controversies and weather conditions, but earh week has brought hotter things In those two re spelts until the outlook contains much that Is encouraging. Crops are mak ing rapid prtigross, nnd the nrmy of unsmpkiyod is diminishing. Railway trnllic is lyavy, earrrina thus far re ported for July eneevrilcg InRt year's l y 13.8 p:r cent and those of l!H't by 19.5 per ppt. Unsettled conditions rtlll exist in forge nml foundry pig Iron markets, while Itcsemer Iron Is only barely steady. Tlr: chief difficulty appears to be the Inclln&'hm of pros pective purrhEsrrs to wait for the low-i.-it possible quotations. Thh Is a con dition to bo exierted in a declining marl; tit, hut appears unusually aggra vating In tho pifsent Instance. Cur rent consumption Is heirvy and the delay Is only In connection with dis tant deliveries. Structural eteel be gins to refloct the settlement of labor troubles in tho building trades, but several Important undertakings have boon postponed until next year, two large buildings at Pittsburg being con spicuous examples.

Eastern wholesalers are also purchasing additional fall supplies, and New England factories are fully occupied. Failures this week were 213 In the United States against 213 last year, and 16 In Canada compared with 20 a year ago. Bradstreets says: The Iron trade Is quiet enough on the surface, but pro duction and consumption are alike enormous, though pressure of the lat trr tends to ease in quotations for Iron and steel. Western markets note reductions in pig iron and billets, with a large business done at the conces sions, and Southern iron has been cut without evoking much new business.

The Attractive Room. The one way of making a room at tractive Is by tho Judicious uso ot color, says the Architectural Record. The ordinary dining room or sitting room of our houses in city or country Js not susceptible of decoration by means of form. Tho furniture, the movable objects In the room, will be so much more In the range of vision they will assert themselves so much more positively than will the moldings of the dado or the door trims, or oven than any plaster ribs and: scrolls upon the, celling, that those attempts at decorating the room by such simple devices aa we use for the exterior will be of no account. The moldings may as well be very simple. Nothing will be gained by notching and gouging, nothing by dog teeth or zig-zag, nothing by carving, unless of rlchnoss and elaboration be yond our present assumption. Even tho mantelpiece, even tho decorative treatment Of the whole chimney breast, cannot take you far. Beware of tho mantelpiece; nothing Is more dangerous than that feature when the architect feels that his only chance to show what he ran do there. The thing to strive for is color, beauty of color, and this may bo rich and deep, brilliant and wrought through many gradations, or pale and cool, In two or three divergont tints rathrr than hues, varieties of gray rather than approaches to the prima ry colors. One Is asked for permis sion to photograph his room bacause It has struck the eye ot the kindly vis itor as exceptionally attractive; but one refuses. If he Is wise, on the ex press ground Jhat what has pleased has been the harmony of coloring In wall and celling, In rugs and draperies, In water colors on the walls and vases on the shelves. Harmony of color, refinement ot col or, richness ot color even, are within the reach of those who have the gift, but there is no possible way of open ing the eyes of those who have It not, or of persuading them that they must ask some one else to arrange their room for them. That Is one thing which cannot be taught to any lady n the land, that she has not, if she has not, an eye for color, or at least that she has not the gift at working In color. Recipe.
