Ten days ago gold exports seemed very
near, but the break in cotton which then
began ripened on Monday into a collapse
sufficient to justify hope of a free move
ment. Hides have also dropped sharply
at Chicago. Leather is weak and the adj
justment OF prices to real instead OF ina
ginary conditions progresses rapidly. Al
ready lower prices in iron have brought
out some important contracts. The money
markets cause remarkably little trouble.
Cooler weather has generally helpc't the
retail trade. and with increased consump-
ton by the millions, the way will be clear
for better business. Already payments

minious, but am expensive and disastrous
failure. While there has, upon the sur
face. been a nominal saving 70 the gov

in each OF liic departments Involved do
not hesitate to express the opinion, after
from six months Ia one years faithful
trial. that the system OF keeping
now in use Is uttel.ly impracticable and
or feat I'll lcgeideInain be made to fit the
requirements OF the services to which i
has been applied.
Prominent mcmlprS of both branches OF
Congress, after an investigation ntO IN"

unanimously arrived a, the conclusion
that remedial legislation at the earliest

Materials In Cotton.

There are very pretty materials in
cotton that are embroidered with sprays
of exquisitely shaded flowers. The
grounds of these are very fine, not un-
like batiste, and the embroidery is al
most as perfectly done as hand work.
A dress of this goods with light blue
ground has tiny pink rosebuds scattered
over it, another with a pearl-colored
ground has buttercups with green
leaves. Another shows violets in several
shades of lavender and yellow. The
waists of most of these cotton dresses
for summer wear are somewhat on the
blouse order and have quantities of
white embroidery or lace for trimming.
The desired dressy effect is produced by
collar, belt and sash of ribbon or vel
vet. or any of the pretty crepons or soft
silks that one may fancy.
