knights of Malta, cardinals, Romeos,
toreadors and cavaliers, all presented
in costumes of the costliest fabrics and
with marvellous truth and detail. The
Marie Antoinette ladies predominated.
Americas historical notables seemed
badly neglected, even the father of his
country George Washington, being hon.
ored by only two representatives.
Aside from the beauty of the cos
tunes, interest conferred in the unprece-
dented display of jewels, many rare
old priceless family heirlooms being
worn. There is no estima ting their
monetary worth, but they certainly rep
resented vast fortunes. Many of the
women seemed ablaze with sparkling
gems.
AS superb social function it has
had no parallel in America. It's fame
may pass into history, :. and : per-
haps its splendor will be written down
as the standard for the bellies and gal
]ants of the coming century. The scene
presented was strange spectacle in
this up-to-date metropolis. At the first
coup d'oeil one would have imagined
the graves had opened and the kings
and queens, the princesses and the titled
aristocracy of the decayed centuries
had arisen in chorus to again become
themselves in all their old-time glory.

The Bradley Martin Fancy Dress Ball
In New York.
# New York, Feb. II. - Mrs. Bradley
Martin gave at the Hotel Waldorf
Wednesday night the costume ball
which was so much talked of in and out
of society. Preachers had discussed it
in their pulpits, and many persons had
frothed at the mouth over the $500, 900
which was to be spent for one nights
pleasure Of hundreds of wealthy men
and women. It is estimated that the
cost of the ball to the host and hostess
was at least 100000, while the esti-
mated cost to the guests was $500, 900.
Perhaps there were 700 guests pres
ent, all gorgeously CARRIED in silks and
satins bedecked in diamonds. Almost
every character of note in the times of
Louis XIV. and XIV. from the plebeian
peasant to the jewel-crowned king and
queen were personated. They presented
imposing figures, dancing in the state
ly minuet, or whirling in the merry
waltz. Numerous were the pseudo
Marie Antoinettes, Queen Elizabeths,
Lady Teazels, =. Gismondas, Juliettes,
Joan d'Arcs, Expresses Josephines,

Tend Downward.
New York, Feb. 13.-R. G. Dun &;
Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:
mo other event of the week approached
IN Importance the disruption of the steel
rail pool. In two days after a greater
tonnage Of rails was probably purchased
than the entire production last year, re-
ported at 100000 tons. and instead of $28 in
December and $25 in January, 81 is now the
price at which works east and west are
seeking orders, the Carnegie company even
selling at 81, Chicago delivery. The sales
will employ many thousand hands, with an
important increase in the cost of track
laying or renewals of railroads. In the
near future, also, Is the struggle between
the two great companies producing Mesaba
iron ore. one allied with the Illinois Steel
and the other with the Carnegie company,
which Is expected to bring about lower
prices for ore, and TO push many mines to
their utmost capacity. But in the war of
rival interests wages are already reduced
by some large concerns.
Another event Of influence is the pur-
chase of 10000 pieces Of print cloths by
M. G. D. Borden at So cents, which has
already caused an advance to 2.69 cents
with stronger tone for prints and other
cotton goods. AS the contract to shut
down part time many mills produce
Ing print cloths Is going into effect. the pro-
ducttve capacity and wages Of operatives

hcial. Speculation in products has hard
