have large patterns of lilies or oak
leaves i'll pyramidial groups, and smaller
patterns are woven for bands for waist

Rough cheviOts are introduced in fancy
cOlorlngS and in Scotch plaids much like
the surah silks of last season. Lovely

wOolens, with a silk weave thrown up.
Some OF these plaids have two colors in
grave tones, others in bright effects.
There are fine twilled blue and green
plaids, anu the large and red and black
plaid that is so pretty for children S
school dresses, and black and white
shepherd checks have bright border on
one selvage to trim the foot Of the skirt.
Young women who are fond of con-
spicuous costuming will find their prefer
ence met in the WOODEN handkerchief
dresses that were fashionable some eight
years ago. They are made mp of eight
large squares of serge or camel s hair, in
bright red, blue or green, surrounded
with borders of irregular stripes in black
They are made so that the borders trim
the foot and the top of the skirt, forming
side panels as well, and the plain part of
the handkerchiefs are laid in large plaits.
There are other styles with corner pieces,
which will make up pretty and dressv.
They are so arranged that two wide
stripes come on the middle of the front
breadth and turning a corner sharply
they border the foot of this breadth.
They are lovely in the tapestry
designs in yelours, and in stripes of con-
trasting colors, or tone upon tone, all of
one color. Brown with black, green
with black and gray blue on a lighter
gray blue are exceedingly choice

in fine hand embroidery in black and
shaded green silks. The corsage portion
of this polonaise opens from waist 10

vest in plated surah silk. Embroidered
cuffs and collars complete this very styl-
ish costume.
1t is hard to realize that ladies will
travel in red cloaks, and yet travelling
cloaks are said to be made of Eiffel red
Still it seems as if true refinement Will
dictate the selection of the delicate silver
gray and brown carmellite that is made
I'D with monk s hood ut the back. The
wrap is confined at the waist by a
knotted rope of braided silk gimp. Other
long wraps for the autumn are formed Of
soft tweeds in stripes and checks, or
plain English cloth, which are made to
represent a costume in themselves.
Some are in directoire style, with
fchu-Iike shoulder capes; others
have stylish yoke pieces and
turn back cuffs of rich black silk
galoon, and others again have friars
hoods, with odd pointed kerchief fronts 9.

Don It close. says a bright-faced girl,
until you tell us about sleeves. All my
dear, there you touch the OGd if not the
grotesque. Many of the shapes are be-
coming only TO women of medium build 4.
Shirred, pulled, shocked and plated
sleeves are seen everywhere, and these
are shaped in endless ways, some being
pulled from the shoulder to the elbow,
while others are closely gathered into a
tight cuff. There are huge, balloon
like puffs strapped or banded at
intervals with wide ribbon. These
are not pretty. but they are fashion,
able. Others again have puff on the
shoulders, with a plain close sleeve be-

surely enough about sleeves that now
play so important part in costuming
and are the vexation of modistes and
the trial of wearers.
NOTES.
All the new browns have more gold
than red in them.
Half shawls of white muslin and lace
re worn with hats of shirred muslin to

Black velvet capes are lined with white
silk and trimmed with white silk passe-

Stuart frills of costly lace falling over
the corsage are worn on many bOdices

In new autumn gowns there will be
less use made of goods in combination
than of handsome solid colors richly Dor

Camel s hair, China Grape, faille and

materials made up in handsome black
dresses for autumn, while mohair is for
useful and plain gowns.
Bead necklaces are the fashion of the
moment in Paris. Large round gold
beads in a single strand, or else fine
cut coral beads in several strands,
linked together III the old-fashioned
way, are worn high around the neck,
with the low-throated dresses that are
now IN vogue.
Travelling dresses for autumn brides
will be made variously of Indiana cloth,
French camels hair (still leading
favorite abroad), glace mohair, Dor
dered English serge, and these will be
made uD over silk skirts the same color
as the wooden goods.

Tea gowns are reported to be emerging

CHICAGO, July 6.-The session of the
board of trade today was dull from OPEN
ing to close. Foreign news concerning
wheat was rather mixed the domestic
news was almost all bullish. One mem
Der had a cablegram from st. Petersburg
saving drouth in north Russia continued
and that reports from south Russia were
also unfavorable. Another had estimates
that the wheat yield of Europe, including
the United Kingdom, would be 100, G00,0 900
bushels larger than last year, and at least
three weeks earlier. Paris quotations
were higher; Liverpool firm; the weather
was dry and hot, both in the winter and
spring wheat districts, and was there
fore, bearish influence in one
direction and buliish influence in others.
Minneapolis millers were reported as buy
ing new No. 2 red winter wheat in st.
Louis for milling. Northwestern traders
were also buying and selling in specula-
tive markets here and an operator started
a bulge in prices early by picking up few
small lots of July. This future opened az
s214c and sold up to Sc, and closed at
S21sc. August dropped to 79c, and after
selling at 1890 bulged to S0lsc. At the
advance Hutchinson was selling freely,
and it reached to soc.
The corn pit was almost deserted all
morning. The trading was light and fea-
tureless; September, the active future
opened at So 3 @355Sc, sold at 358l @35Ic,
and closed at the latter figure.
Oats were dull and an easy feeling pre-
vailed. Receiving houses sold September
early at 223s6f22115 &C. closed at 2215c.
Not over 5000 barrels of pork were trad
ed III on Change today. Nevertheless
there was a 10c break in prices.
Lard and ribs were much more active
and both were weaker. The trade in these
however was of small proportions. Offer
ings, while light, were more than the trade
could absorb. The little speculative inter-
est developed was centered in September,
which sold from S1L1715 early down to
S1l.15]4 for pork; from $3.50 down to So
4e16 for lard, and from $592]5 down to S.
