quiet period should give time tor test
ing the size and temper Of retail trade
and for distributing part Of the enor-
nous quantities bought
The iron industry waits, because pos
sible production for the year has been
practically ordered, while neither buy
ers nor sellers regard contracts at cur
rent prices for next years business as
quite safe. Bessemer pig is a shade
weaker at 5000, and grey forge at
$3.50, at Pittsburg, while billets are
hard to get at any price, owing to the
stoppage of only two works of moder-
ate size that has the current demand
come to exceed production. Sale of
warrant pig iron at Philadelphia, Csc
below, is not, in fact, a decline. New
business in finished products is almost
of necessity smaller, since manufact
uring works are nearly all full for
months ahead, the plate mills at the
west SO full that they could not COM
pete at all for three Rockefeller YES
sells, requiring $500 tons each. The de-
mand for bars is the best for long
time and contracts for the East River
bridge for numerous new buildings and
railway bridges are still pending.
The coke output has risen Ia, 033
tons weekly, and is the largest known
for years. Anthracite coal is sold at
S4.15 in New York harbor, or 20 cents
below the circular, and conservative es-
climates make the years output 49,
100000 tons. The only noteworthy
feature in minor metals is sensation
al collapse in lead of 80 points with
sales of 5000 tons.
Failures for the week were 224 in the
United States, against 274 last year,
and So in Canada, against go last year.
Business in bonds was quiet and
prices moved in sympathy with stock,

SOME NEW IDEAS IN DRESS.

Crepe de Chine and other small
crinkled crepes are devoted to evening
gowns. Peau de serpent belongs to the
crepe de Chine family.
In Czaritza crepe the crinkle is
barely perceptible, the surface suggest
ing peau de sole. All Of the crepes
lend themselves admirably to sun
plating and will frequently be made
up in soliel skirts and full bodices Of
fanciful design.
A very soft glace taffeta figures in
the assortment of silks in leaf-green,
bluet, heliotrope, red and other colors
in every instance has white warp
which blends happily with all hues.
Another taffeta is woven with cameo
selvedge, which is cut off and used for
trimming when making up the
material. Black taffeta of this class
has selvedges in all the fashionable
shades.
One Of the new chapeaux with far
ing front and dropping back brim is
shaped in black felt, a spangled net
band being inserted in the brlm. The
crown is encircled by black velvet
Uses and at the left side three black
plumes curl over the brim. The
others sweep backward over the bi1m
on the hair at each side, steel and
rhinestone coboohon being fastened
over the ends of the latter group of
feathers. The hat is set in d narrow
bandeau OF steel and rhinestones in
front. The shape is adaptable to a
pompadous couture from which curls
escape at the temples. The millinels
increase the becolningness of this par
ticular style by rolling the bin rather
more to one side than to the front, but
changes are never made at the back of
the brim.
The same type of hat is carried out
in brown felt with brim facing of
white MORE taffeta having an edge
finish of brown velvet cord. A
bunch of brown and white plumes,
among which is a brown and white
paradise aigrette, is fixed against the
crown at the left side, and at the right
side is a bunch of brown and white
velvet roses with velvet foliage. At
the back are more flowers and on the
narrow bandeau supporting the hat
are arranged pink velvet rosebuds and
leaves.
In strong contrast to the last hat is
one in black felt with the brim over
shadowing the face. Around the
crown stands frill of black satin and
felt braid finished at its base with
twist of black velvet. At the right
side black velvet rosette is fixed with
a dagger of cut steel, while at the left
side are two long and two short black
p'umes over another velvet rosette.
A black velvet bow is spread at the
back above the brim and another of
the same kind is placed under the
brlm.-From the Delineator.

o. Camcrs-Hair and SILK, With Stylish
Pouch Front and sleeve Caps.
Many Of the ornamental accessories
used on ladies' gowns are introduced
in girls dresses, giving them an up-to.
date air that is becoming and altogeth-
er desirable. Less garniture is used
where such adiuncts as fancy yokes,
collars or sleeve-caps are added to a
dress, but a simple arrangement OF
lace and fancy braid, often used mere
ly to emphasize the ornaments, is al
ways permissible and often commend
able. The pouch front of this little

dress puffs out below pointed yoke
of silk, and the caps, also Of silk,
spreading over puffs on the close
sleeves, are leaf-shaped. The simple
disposal of lace edging illustrates how
trimming may be used to bring out the
best points of a mode, and the ribbon
stock and belt supplement the lace
effectively. The skirt is five gOred,
smooth at the front and gathered only
at the back.
Poplin is an excellent material for
girls wear, as it wears we'll and looks
dressy. Plaids, stripes and figures can
be had in this fabric, as well as solid
colors in all fashionable shades. Serge,
cashmere and other soft woolens are
also good selections for girls dresses.
