How Mrs. Bryan Dresses.

Mrs. William Jennings Bryan has eyi-
dently brought trunk loads Of clothes FOR
wear during her eastern trip, and her Sc
lectiOns judging by what she has already
worn are in excellent taste. Yesterday
morning for breakfast and 10 receive ear
liz visitors she wore ecru muslin. Ulfiied
with white lace Little bows Of white
taffeta ribbon nestled among the frills,
and one at the back Of her lace collar
looked Ike a butterfly. 4 single Ameri-
can beauty rose was stuck In her white
ribbon sash, tied in a long bow. with ends
at the back For the reception, later on,
she wore a stylish combination OF black
silk creDon. as thin almost as grenadine'
and shot gray blue taffeta The latter
formed the background producing a
charming iridescent effect through the
sheer crimped figures brocacing the out
side material.
The skirt hung in deep. full plaits, and
was devoid Of all trimming. Dlastron
OF white satin was arranged on the
bodice. yelled with white chiffon covered
with white lace applique. A jet collar
was finished with a black satin butterfly

The failures for the week have been 2sS

year. and Sc IN Canada, against SS last
year.
An extraordinary spell OF deadly hot
weather has affected trade throughout
the country. and IN the East speculative
feeling was somewhat affected until
Thursday by apprehension Of the possible
influence OF the Bryan meeting. With
cooler weather there came also on Thurs
day n perception that the meeting would
not AFFECT business unfavoraby. But
other conditions were not stimulating.
According to government reports, the
crops have sustained serious injury. Labor
difficulties extend. and the closing OF

Industry and trade. The week. therefore.
closes. as the last week did, with domestic
business unusually dull for the season.
Iron production was reduced 20,764 tons
weekly In July. and has been further re-
duced since August 1st. while unsold
stocks increased 26l2 tons in July. The
stoppage OF a large share Of the Con-
nellsville cOke-works. and OF many Lake
iron mines Is n fair indication that the
two combinations do not believe any
thing could be gained by reducing the
prices Of materials. and the main diihculty
is obviously the extreme narrowness OF
demand for finished products, which IS

some concessions even from the current
low prices. with Alabama No offered

support the prices OF either.
The boot and shoe industry Is approach
ing the end Of orders al hand. and gradual
advances in the prices asked tend to the
restriction OF new orders. Leather is
scarcely changed in price, many OF the
tanneries having ceased operations, but
hides are 6 per cent lower for the week,
and have declined 17.48 per cent. within
the last five weeks The woollen manu-
facture makes little change. with not
more than third Of the machinery now
running. and the demand for goods does
mot improve. although the prices Of some
important grades have been further re-
8uced. Nor has Improvement appeared in
cotton goods. although the curtailment
of production for some weeks has been
great.
