Wrinkled sleeves are very much worn
and are very effective in thin fabrics, to
which, however, they are not confined.
Scarlet is exceedingly fashionable in
Paris, and in vests and leather accessories

Sian sables are as desirable a luxury as
anything the world has to offer in the line
Of personal adornment
Large hats predominant. They are of
velvet, felt, chenille braid or gimp and
are profusely ornamented with feathers
Immense buckles are also much employed
for millinery purposes.
Lace and fur have always seemed incon-
gruous when placed together, even when
the lace was of the heavy, massive variety,
but now that valenciennes is being used
in combination with fur the incongruity
in startling.
Walking and visiting costumes are often
trimmed with velvet ribbon, which deco

NAPVELLOUS PROGRESS.

The increase In output Of pig-iron in Novem-
Der dlscloses a revolution in the greatest OF
American manufacturing industries which to
British manufactures will be actually startling
The mere fact that the output Of furnaces In
blast December was 703 tons weekly, ac-
cordlng to the record Of The American Man
ufacturer" Of Pttsburg, against 2l9,63S tons
November / and 1G655S July /, is interesting.
but not of momentous Importance to rivals. An
increase Of per cent in one month completing
an increase Of nearly 40 per cent In five months
though eminently cheering TO those who hope
for restoration Of general prosperity. might be
due to an advance in prices which would ex
clude American works from competition In for
eign fields. But 1t is we'll known that the
American works still compete, and that prices
have not materially advanced Bessemer pig
at Pittsburg brings $40 ton, against 50 80
July l, but has declined 10 cents in October
and November, with the great increase In out
put Anthracite pig commands just the same
price as It did July l. and Grey Forge at Pitts
burg sells at so IS, against IS 35 July l. The
fact that there are works In this country able
to produce, without the stimulus Of advancing
prices, more iron than Great Britain has ever
produced at any time, and at prices low enough
TO permit exports Of products to England and
all other countries, will be to most British man
ufacturers disagreeable revelation, and even
to many Americans n surprise.
This state OF things is not an accident nor Is 1t
due to ephemeral causes. The root Of the mat
ter Is that extraordinary progress has been
made within a few years in substituting large
and perfectly equipped furnaces for others Of
smaller capacity. When attention was called
in these columns month ago to this change
investigation was prompted which has brought
out important disclosures. The building Of new,
and large furnaces, capable Of producing at low
cost, has shut out of the active list many old
! concerns which were by no means in the rear
ranks n few years ago, and can even now pro
duce more than any except n few OF the Brit
I sh furnaces. There are nlnety-seven bitum-
nous furnaces Idle now which average when
/ operated CIT tons weekly, and that Is not only
more than the output of most British furnaces
/ but nearly as much rs the btuminous furnaces
| in this country averaged very few years ago
! There are seventy-four anthracite furnaces Idle
which would average 50G tons weekly, but ONLY
reached by the anthracite furnaces In opera
tion The change in charcoal furnaces has beer
slight. and the production has much decreased

the greatest at that time ever attained. the CT
