A Picturesque "whIte Ball."
tLady's PIctorlal.I

Quite novel kind of bal poudre. or
rather bal blanc, was given in Simla some
three weeks ago by Lady Lyall. who is
always popular hostess. The invitations
stated that the lady guests must wear
powdered hair and be attired entirely in
pure white. Cream-colored gowns were
pronounced inadmissible. For the mascu-
line section of the community white knee
breeches and white silk stockings were in
in the choice of coats. Pale colors were
chiefly and wisely chosen by the members
OF the sterner sex, with most picturesque
and successful result. The coats OF pale
cray, saffron. pale blue, end pale pink har-
monized admirably with the pure white
gowns worn By the ladies, the whole effect
being remarkably picturesque.

EXCITED IMPORTERS AND BROKERS'.
The New York Custom-House Beseiged pS

tgy telogr.ph TO the Dispatch.l


Nrv YonK October 4.-The most intense
excitement has prevailed in and about tho
custon-house all day. Whole troops OF
importers and brokers kept, coming ana
going. As 3 O'Clock approached the num-
bers increased until finally the rotunda OF
the cus.om-house was filed with solid
mass OF humanity, which persplred,
jostled. pushed. and yelled. All carried
large sums of money. Iney were on hsnu
to enter goods that were expected 10 az
rive late this afternoon. They wished TO
get their entries in under the old law, and
stood ready TO make entries the moment
the vessels were sighted ut Fire Island. by
a decision Yesterday the custom-house was

this afternoon. All goods arriving after
that hour were TO come In under the new
law, and tho duty charged accordingly.
The mass of importers and brokers IN the
custom-house was so great at ocIoch
that Collector Erhardt deemed 1T mad
visable TO close at that hour. He an
nounced the time to be extended to 4
o'clock.
ACTING LIKE CRAZY PEOPLE.
Each moment after o'clock the excite
ment became greater. Those in the rotunca
appeared to be going crazy. They shouted,
yelled. and made futile efforts TO move
about-a scene not unlike that OF the
Stock Exchange. The clerks IN the various
divisions were swamped with business
Not for years has such scene been enacted
in the custom-house. Every few minutes
whole delegations of importers and brokers
invaded the Collectors Office and impor-
tuned him to keep the custom-house open
until midnight. The Collector was IN q =
Guapdarv. His Office was jammed full OF
importers. who waved rolls OF bills IN their
hands and shouted to him not to close the
custom-house. The pressure on the COL
lector became so great that finally he sent
O telegram TO Washington.
SECRETARY WINDOW CONSULTED.
II was directed TO Secretary Window
and requested advice as to what the Col
lector should do under the circumstances.
Importers expected vessels to arrive at D
O'Clock. In q little time there came an
answer from Washington. 1t was from
the Secretary of the Treasury and IN
formed the Collector that he could use hls
own discretion in the matter. Upon the
receipt of Secretary WINDOWS telegram
Collector Erhardt and seven deputies held
a consultation. They decided to keep the
custom-house open until II o'clock to-
night. The importers cheered the steam
ships Regnals. City of Chicago, Nandam,

pected to arrive this evening.

CROP PROSPECTS, IMPROVE.
Encouraging Conditions i
Northwestern States.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The following will
appear in this weeks Farmers Review:
The majority of our correspondents in
Kentucky, Iowa. Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota report local showers
sufficient for the Immediate needs OF
growing crops in those states. Every
dry" is the report from all parts of llli-
nos and Missouri, as well as portions
of Indiana, Ohio and Kansas. Good
rains have fallen In many of the previ-
Ously drouthy districts of Nebraska,
and corn shows marked improve
ment in consequence. The condi-
ton of spring wheat remains
the same as last reported in Wis
conSin and Minnesota. Considerable
improvement has taken place in Ne
braska. In Iowa rust has caused de-
cline i'll several counties that has low
cred the average for the state. The
condition of corn has not changed
materially from the fair average last
reported. In Illinois and Iowa, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Minnesota correspond
ents report considerable improvement.
Reports from all other states covered
by our bulletin show a deeline of two to
five points. Relative to oats. Illinois
reports show slight improvement on
the very low averages last reported.
Minnesota and Iowa correspondents
report condition improving and pros
poets good for an average crop. Re-
ports from Michigan and Wis
consin indicate considerable decline,
but the averages for those states are still
high. In all other states condition is
very low and apparently declining.
From the present outlook Illinois aud
Missouri will harvest only about one
half and Kentucky about one-quarter
their usual crops of oats; for all of
which the grain plant louise is respon-
sible. We summarize as follows, reports
of condition.:

Sterling exchange fairly active and
firm at 81 .S415 for sixty day-bilIS, and
1857 for demand. The holidays have
passed, the July disbursements are out
of the way and the shifting of loans in
consequence of disbursements must
now be completed, but the demand for
securities expected does not as vet
make its appearance. Even in the
bond department, where an investment
demand is likely to be first felt, there is
no more animation or strength than in
the share list, and the advocates of
higher prices are disappointed to
say the least, and are casting around
for an explanation for the failure OF the
little boom to materlalize. The last one
offered is that London has as yet ha6
no time to recover from the effects OF
the monetary disturbances in South
America, and in fact these disturbances
are not yet past, as the alarming reports
from that quarter indicate. When Lon
don RECEIVERS from those disturbances
there will again spring up demand for
American securities. and the expected
rise will then occur. The fact remains.
however, that New York leads the mar
ket for American securities and London
and the rest of the world follow, and un-
til there is less apathy on the part of
domestic spectators London is not
likely to take hold in large Way of
our stocks. The conference committee
in congress has agreed upon a silver
bill, but Unexpected legislation on that
subject no longer seems to have power
to move the market either up or down,
and operators are now waiting for the
railroad troubles to be adjusted, and of
late the impression has grown that some
of the most influential magnates of the
railroad world are lukewarm in their
desire to fix matters, their ultimate OBJ
ject being a modification or repeal of
the interstate law or the long and
short haul clause. The market is left
sensitive to small influences, but
nothing seems to have power to
move it mere than fractions. To
reversed by the weakness of Chicago
Gas under the combined effects of the
proposed opposition and the rumored
action to be taken by the Chicago city
authorities to nullify the charters of the
companies composing the trust. The
declines resulting had more the ap-
pearance of a well-eXecuted raid on the
general list, however, than an effect of
the weakness of Chicago Gas, and late
in the day there was considerable re-
covery of the early losses. The bears
again come to the front in the last
hour, however, with a scare about an
advance in the rates of discount of the
Bank of England, and further export
of gold from this port. The close
was weak at about the lowest
prices of the day. The selling
was principally in the grangers
and the London favorites, and New
England is down Ia Chicago Gas and
