 l We doubt very much II there are any prettier silk waists in New York than what we have here. We judge from the exclamations of visitors, travelling salesmen and others who go about. Separate skirts were sure of a run. There is nothing in the market between 200 and 5000 that we haven't the best of. The materials are crepons, plain and figured silks, plain and figured nohairs, serges, cheviots, diagonals, &c.
 Twenty different grades of black crepons;s, say nothing of co1ors. Fancy tafetas and Gros de Londres of every degree of richness.
 The variety of plain colors in staple fabrics is quite con- siderable. We have in French serges for example.
