SUMNER FANCY WORK.
Notes From Seaside and Country Piazza,
and parlora.

and ParlorB.
Women, old and young, who fill hotel
piazzas Mt summer resorts ply their needles
as diligently as II their tasks had COM
mercial value. Where there are so many
fancy workers one looks for On infinite
variety Of achievment, but Harper's Bazaar
reports that to great extent the changes
are all rung upon the same theme.
The beautiful silk embroidery in the
fiat satin stitch Is still the prevalent dec
Grafton for the numberless articles that
have been prepared for the late summers
leisure.
Instead of being confined to tho routine
patterns, one can now order from dealers
all sorts of special designs for working.
II desired, IN example of the finished work
Is given by an embroidered corner, but
this is not altogether good idea in every
case, for the difference between tho model
and the work Of tho amateur is sometimes
too apparent.
A pretty table CENTER with doiliGs to
correspond, Is made Of white linen en-
broidered in exact imitation Of the onion
pattern china. Tho hem Is covered with q
smaller edition Of the same pattern. Blue
silk Gs nearly as possible Of tho shade seen
on the china is used, and the tiny Dresden
mark of crossed swords is worked on u
corner Of each piece.
Among the dainties Of table fittings aro
the sets of center and plato mats worked
with the lowered Dresden pattern For
getmenots, bluebels and roscbuds in
miniature are powdered over the surface.
Groups Of the same are effectively collect
ed In the corners. Tho little crossed
swords have their place upon these pieces
If the worker chooses
Some Of the handsomest doilies to be
seen are made of small squares of linen
cambria edged and nearly covered with
honiton lace braid bastcd ON in scallops
and medallions and fastened with button
holing done with white silk. The linen is
cut away beneath the decoration, and the
effect Is n small plain center with wide
border Of rich lace. Fancy lace stitches
done with white silk may be used to fill
the openings made by turning the braid
into different forms. The braid generally
used Is chain of opcnwork ovals.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks and Bonds

New YORK. July 27.-Extreme dullnes5
characterized operations at the Stock ex-
change throughout the day. The dealings
were wholly professional aud were con.
fined almost entirely to the four walls Of
the Stock exchange. An effort was made
in the early hours OF business TO advance
prices on advices from Washington that
the prospect for the passage Of =
tariff bill had improved aud the
general list did improve fractionsliy, but
the advance failed TO hold because
OF the discouraging news from the west
concerning the corn crop. This led TO
sales OF the Changers which yielded 4 to
x per cent outside OF Burlington and
Quincy, which sold off from rs to 7S9s,
the stock selling at ~ seller sixty when the

upon the profitable operation Of Amsri

be robbed of protection through the
means of free wool, aud that capital
and labor engaged in the mining OF
American ore and bituminous coal

owners Of Canadian coal mines and
Cuban iron mines. And by u
curious circumstance, long be-
