listers Now Dress Alike

From a London Fashion Letter.
The Princesses Maud and Victoria OF
Wales are looking very bright this year,
and enter into the gayeties Of the sea-
son with all the enthusiasm OF youth.
They generally dress alike as to gowns,
but show some variety in the trim
mings. Some peach pink satin evening
dresses are particularly becoming to
them, bordered with a full fiounce, the
bodices gauZe over satin, having a ruche
AT the neck. The full fronts are almost
universal. held In by Wristbands, which
give great slimness to tbs figure. 1t is

sisters 10 dress alike. The fashion had
gone out for some years, but II has
found a renewal this season. and IL Is
well; for a really pretty dress shows to
better advantage I'm duplicate. The plan
has, however. its drawbacks. When the
wearers are much alike 1t leads 10 COM
plications Ina the matter of identity, and
each individual likes to assert her own
personality. But in dreams OF fair
women two pretty sisters dressed alike
are apt to play a pleasant part.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Chcago is to have larger

Corn-No indications of interest In corn

Provisions were as dead as it is possible to

One of the latest eccentricities reported

assisting the poor OF that city 1t is work
ed in the following manner: In one of the
streets ON the left bank of the Seine a
receptacle has been placed into which la
dies are entreated to throw their cast off,
stays. At the first blush, or even at tho,
second 1t is rather puzzling to imagine
how the poor are to be benefited by this

it is stated that considerable sum can

Today's features: Prices receded for a
time, owing to a-decline in Liverpool, where
prices were depressed by a comparatively
liberal crop movement in this country, as
was explained in private cables. Then again
the continent and the south, as WELL as the
local operators sold rather freely. But on
the decline history repeats itself. That is
to say, the market once more encountered
lot of buying orders, as 1t has so often in
the past and the effect was to put prices
back to about the closing figures of last
night. Local and southern operators bought
and local bears also covered to some extent
owing to an apprehension that the bureau
report may be very bullish. Another i'm
Dortant factor today was the estimate by
the state commissioner of Texas, that the
crop in that state is only half as large as
that of last year. This is considered an ex-
IRENE view of the case even by many who
believe that the Texas crop is undoubtedly
short, but for all that 1t had a good deal of
influence and undoub tedly contributed very
materially to the rally, which took place be-
fore the close. The bears are easily fright
ened, although they contend that the re-
ceipts are likely to be pretty heavy during
this month"; and may cause not little de-
preston in prices Cotton has friends, how
ever who buy on every good break and
who maintain that the bull campaign has
not eliminated by any means.
