NEW YORK LETTER.
From our own Correspondent
The close of the Lenten period has
brought fresh impetus to business.
Manufacturers and Modists vie with
each other in the presentation Of ex-
quisite novelties for spring. There
is really a line of goods and special
fashion to suit every possible de-
mand in the city and out of it.
sATTEENs ETC
Late triumphs in the loom craft of
the present century has led us to ex-
pect much, yet it must be admitted
that the materials are a surprise. Cot
ton Saueens, in style, finish and tex.
sure, far exceed the foulards of last
season, and compare favorably with
Marveilleux and Rhadames of similar
tint and tone.
Country dealers are simply amazed
at the possibilities of this class Of
fabrics, of which Lord & Taylor
make a specially. Those who care
to have samples can have them sent
direct from the great store, corner
Broadway and Twentieth ST. The
mail order division is special feature
of this immense establishment
Without incurrinp the cost of the
journey, lady may sit in her border

kind garments of every cut and
finish, at slight advance upon the
original figure.
AMERICAN SILKS.
a prominent American maulactur-
er has made an Ottoman silk that is
really beautiful. 1t is a new style of
Ottoman, and comes in 20, 22, and
"a inch widths, and is of very rich
quality. 1t is single faced, fast wo
ven back that will not pull nor slip,
and the best quality can be retailed
at So the yard. They are quite as
handsome and much more desirable
than imported goods,
A high novelty also of the same
manufacture is the two-toned bro
cades, which are certainly the hand
soonest goods ever made in this
country. | wish | could give sam
pies in my letter. so that my readers
could see them as | have done, for
it is certainly beyond my powers of
description to write Of their whole
worth and beauty.
They will make lovely basques,
pelsses and house jackets, and for
draperies over the plain American
satin surahs, which can be had to
match their colors perfectly, they
have no equal.
This make of American surah is
also superior fabric, heavier in quail
ity, with finer, handsomer finish
than that of other seasons.
There is full line of this class
of goods in market in all the charm
ing new tints as well as those of
last season. The black brocades
of this manufacture are superb
or in design and quality. Large ex-
quisite patterns in satin figures are
seen on Ottoman grounds, and vice
versa, while the richest designs on
satin grounds are also introduced.
/ had heard of these wonderful
goods of American manufacture and
commenced searching for them at
the various silk houses. ! was soon
informed that the manufacturers
were John N. Stearnes & Co., who
have large mill in this city, and an
Immense wholesale house on Broome
street. They are sold, however, at
the leading retail houses all over the
country.
