COT TON.

The cotton situation, both from the
standpoint OF supply and OF demand,
seems to be stronger than for several
years past. The improving trade, both
in America and Europe, promises to
more than absorb supply that seems
now unlikely to be as large as had been
earlier anticipated by many, and widely
proclaimed by the bears. Despite this
cotton has declined. The reason for the
decline is that speculative holders of con-
tracts for the future delivery of cotton,
being unable to margin their transactions,
have been forced to sell in New York.
The question is thus raised as to whether
producers Of cotton are likely most sub
stantially to profit by purchases of con-
tracts, or by holding spot cotton. We in
vite correspondence upon the subject
and meantime solicit consignments of
cotton to New York or to Liverpool to be
held as long as the owners may desire.
We are willing to pay sight drafts against
the bills of lading for such consignments
within q reasonable limitation Of their
value, and will charge not over 6 per
cent interest on such advances. Special
terms as to commission, etc, on large
consignments will be made on applica-
ton. Correspondence is solicited. Adj

to the back opening Of skirt, which H.

the opening at the side seam of the back
Instead, fastening IL with small hooks all
the way. This is the preferable style for
the present type Of skirt If it is neatly
done Whore there are stitched tabs on
either side of the tablier, as in the case
with many tailor made costumes, the skirt
may open under one Of the tabs.
The circumference OF skirts varies from
to yards. Tho tremendous widths
sometimes reported are exaggerations and
nre not to ho considered seriously. No
woman could carry IA skirt, heavily lined
and stiffened, of the dimensions some
crodulous or mendncious writers give
The inside of the foot should be finished
with silk rufile from to inches wide.
The length around tho skirt and half as
much again will make it full enough.
This year it is cut straight instead of on
the bias and has two gathering threads
an inch apart. 1t Is sewed on the lining
and facing of the skirt, along each gather
ing thread, very strongly, and the lower
edge is tackled to the edge of the skirt ey o.
cry four or five inches.
A sketch Is given of IA costume of old
blue brocho velvet. The ample godet skirt
Is plain. The bodice opens over chem
isette of embroidered mousseline de sole,
with cravat of old lace. The elbow
sleeves Of draped embroidered mousseline
de sole, have full caps of velvet open on
the outside and decorated with bows OF
plain blue velvet. The belt and collar are

be employed for them, and the trimmings
must be correspondingly costly.
Mohair braiding Is seen on many capes,
jackets and walking costumes. Thv braid
Is often three-quarters OF an inch wide,
and some skirts have elaborate designs
extending from waist line to hem upon
the side seams.
The Louis Quinze coat Is worn with a
plain silk skirt The basque may DO long
or short, the latter style being more suit
able for young women. The coat has
wide revers, and cascade of mousseline
dc sole and lace falls from the collar In
front. Enamel or rhinestone buttons form
part of the decoration. These coats are
worn at small dinners and ON other festive
occasions that do not require n low cut
bodice. The incest Of silk, lace and but
tons are employed to give the garment OK
olusiveness.
A sketch Is given Of street or visiting
gown OF dracena green velvet. The plain
skirt has ON each side Of the tablier a
lengthwise band Of jet passementerie, ter
minating In pamphlets. The bodice Is
close fitting behind and is laid in plaits at
the waist In front. The yoke Is braided
with black soutaohe and Is framed by a

proper that we send you all express
sion of the regret, with which each
of us heard of your resignation as

as we did, your solid learning, your
practical experience, and the readi-
ness and kindliness with which you
sought to improve the schools in
methods, manners and ideals.
We express also sorrow that the
state of your health has been such
as to prevent your continuance in
the Office you have so ably filled for
the past eight years, and we trust
that YOU will be soon restored to
soundness of health, and that length

FEELING IN ENGLAND.
Friendly Talk On the Principle Of the
Monroe Doctrine

Friendly Talk On the Principle Of the
Monroe Doctrine.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.-"The fitting
out of the flying squadron was
merely to show Europe that Eng.
land was prepared to defend her
corner against the nations. | dc
not think that any one in great
Britain ever thought the squadron
was placed i'll action to be USED
against the United States"
This was the statement made by
Sir Wheelman Pearson, M. p. from
Colchester, England, at the South
ern Hotel today.
"There is no doubt that England
recognizes the Monroe doctrine, in
its broad sense, and is willing to
abide by it on all occasions except
this one. This disputed territory
has BEEN claimed by Great Britain
for years and has been ruled by it.
A large number of the inhabitants
of the place consider themselves
British subjects, and the dispute
is merely over the boundary. Surely
not sufficient cause for war. Since
this trouble has arisen there is a
growing sentiment in England in
favor of permanent international
commission, to which all disputes
could be referred at their inception.
They would then be settled with
out having the countries stirred
over them. The time will come
when such board will be found
necessary, and l hope to see this
agreement speedily arrived at"

VARIOUS NOTES.


Expensive Velvet Hsts--Louis Quinze Coats
and Plain Skirts.
The fancy still prevails of wearing the
hair parted In the middle and loose at the
sides, fastened with ornamental side
combs. This is n picturesque style for
very young girls and for women who pos
sess the round, babyish type of face, but
for the majority 1t Is very unbeoominp
and adds years to the apparent age.
Duplex capes are one of the latest ideas
They are so made as to be reversible, either
side being finished SO 1t may be worn out
ward. The fur which borders these oapes
Is placed on the very edge, SO as to be
equally in evidence ON both sides.
Velvet hats are very fashionable and
very expensive, cheap substitutes not be-
