lowest point, as buyers discover whenever they
come into the market to replenish their supplies,
and it is this fact that makes them purchase
with so much caution AS soon as point has
been reached where dealers find their stocks
worth more, and not less, than when they
purchased them. there win be a
disposition to buy more freely, and trade
will experience the much sought for
stimulus. The export trade is still under
the influence of crop reports, whether at home or
abroad, and the absence of speculative activity
IN cotton and produce is due to the same cause.
The crops of Europe have thus far turned out to
be unusually large and of exceptionally good
quality, and under these circumstances prices
of wheat have been on the decline both here and
abroad. In England wheat rules lower than it
has before for one hundred years. 1t is certain
ly selling low enough, and at present pays the
producer poorly enough for the cost and time of
its production; but with grain, as with many
other products and manufactures it is the relal
ton of supply to demand that makes the price
for the whole crop, The existing conditions
have led to discussion of the question, aave
the agricultural products of the world reached
the point Of overproductionq At all events the
prompt settlement of what shall be done with
our surplus this year will have an important
bearing upon the financial interests Of this coun-
try during the nextfv months. The manufact-
urlng Industries are doing their best to improve
the position of their products by curtailing pro-
duction and thereby affording an opportunity for
the absorption of burdensome stock.

Dowdiness of Married Women.

The American lady who, in last weeks
World, criticised the degrading economy
and other failings of her English friend
writes as though transatlantic dressing
was altogether above censure. So it is
in all the American novels have ever
read but pretty large experience of
travelling Americans has forced upon me
other convictions. The absolute naivete
and candor Of the false fringes which
have beheld tied on to American heads
at table d'hote surpassed anything an
English woman would venture on; it sur
prised me as much as the average Ameri-
can stoutness, for which | was not pre-

And then, granting that the transatlan-
tic girl dresses with research and dexter
ity, how about the dismal, the faded. the

dowdiness ofthe married always seem 10

"Would you like a collar or harness?
Harnesses are very fashionable and they
cannot slip over the head as collars are
apt to do in the case of pug dogs. You
see that the neck is as la.ge around as

a collar on.
