THE FALL TRADE.
One Of the hopeful features of the
situation is that after the subsistence |
of the Panic, the contraction which |
has taken place in the value of specu-
iative securities, and the caution
which lenders are almost certain to
exercise, will probably cause much !
easier money market than we are &C
customed to during the Fall, and the
addition to the volume Of currency
by recent Government purchases of
bonds will tend in the sam direct on.
Indeed Il cautious bank official has
given the opinion that in sixty days
"money will be as easy as an old
SHOE" but even if this view be too
sanguine, there can hardly be any
doubt that the ordinary tide of green
backs from the West to meet Fall
purchases the pouring out of money
now boarded, and the growing stock
of gold resulting both from our failure
to ship it and remittances from the
other side, will place merchants in an
easier position than they have been
for some time at this season of the
year.
SOMETHING ABOUT FASHION
No want could possibly occur that
would furnish greater interest to the
fair sex, than does the magnificent
fashionable openings, given by Lord
& Taylor, at their colossal up town
establishment. Their openings affold
the elite to make selections and feast
their eyes on manufactured splendor,
and the opportunity to attend them,
is eagerly embraced. Recently we
attcn ed the opening given to exhibit
the latest styles IN dresses and dress
makers materials, and to say we were
dazzled by the display wonll but bad =
~ express the merits Of the affair.
Among the novelties most noticeable,
were dresses made in imitation of the
costly original made by Worth OF
Paris. These dresses were exact
duplicates, both in material and work
manship, and were intended to show
the ulrta fashionables, that this estab-
hshment can produce as good dress
as the famous Partisan in his happiest
efforts, and at less than half the cost
OF imported dresses. This firm have
at great expense, procured ma
chine, by which they are enabled to
give the appearance of heavy cords
such as those in the material used by
Worth. The effect of which is in
describably beautiful. The opening
Of this firm differs from many others,
in that they do not seek to dazzle one
with the magnifcence of their robes,
but to show whet they can do at rca-
sonable prices. They have been
showing for some time, dresses can be
made here which challenge comparri-
son with imported ones at about the
price of the material of the -forei On
manufacture. The art If dressmak-
ing has been reduced to a science, for
ladies out Of town can have a perfect
fitting dress made, by simply sending
the waist of an old dress and the
length of skirt desired perfect fit
is guaranteed. 1t is proper to state
that the dress department of this es
adjustment has vastly improved in
the character Of its manufactures and
general surroundings under tile man
agement of Mr.. J. w. Warren, the
able Superintendent of this house
Mr. Warren has the entire responsi
bility of managing this mammoth
temple, and to do him Justice, we vii
say his system of arrangements are ST
i. perfect, that the routine of duties per
formed remind one of the workings
of a huge clock. One thing he espe
cially deserves praise for is, his polite
ness, which is Chester feldien in al
its bearing, and the same can b,
truthfully said of all his attaches un
der him. When once lady buys
from this house, she is sure ever attel
to do her purchasing there. Somucl
for polteness and an honest repre-
+ sentation of goods examined and Sc
lected. Another thing deserving o
notice, is, the admirable manner il
which one can while away spare
half hour whilst waiting for lad,
, friends to be measured for dresses
