GREY Cashmere.

The picture shows a gown Of gray
cashmere, haTins the ever present
bloused front Of the same material,
which acts as fine foil for the plas-
tron with epaulets. and bolero fronts
of black velvet OVERLAND with white
silk guipure applique and Jet, which
are edged with a narrow pleating OF
black liberty satin. The yoke. of the
same applique effects, fits plain all
around, and the skirt fulls on in gath
ers at the back. while the bottom IL
edged with band of gray fur fieck-
ed with black.
It is the details of finish and trim
ming that constitute the chief element
of smartness in the new gowns, and
not SO much the change of cut and ma
terials; for In truth there Is very lit
tie change In the shape of gowns or
wraps, and. after all, materials are

The London Times says: THE trade
iof the Mexican republic is increasing
with considerable rapidity. Last year
the imports amounted to fS,395.547,
against f7,249,009, while the exports
were Fill ESQ, 900, against Ell, 250, 900 the
previous year. The increase In i'm
ports was spread over all staples, but
was chiefly marked in the case of iron
and steel and in machinery and imple-
ments. British imports were greater
in 1896 than in 1885, yet they only
amounted to II per cent Of the whole
import trade in 1896. while they were
10 per cent the year before. The inn
ports from the United States. on the
other hand, were 52h per cent Of the
import trade of Mexico, against As per
cent in 1895. This, our consul at Mex
leo observes, should warm British mer-
chants and manufacturers that unless
they soon make q serious effort they
will have to give up all hope of profit
ing by the increase in the Mexican Inn
port trade, and may even lose part of
the very limited share of 1t they at
present enjoy The trade in textiles
generally, in which England has so far
held her own, becomes each year a
smaller proportion of the import trade,
owing to the improvement in domestic
manufactures; metals and machinery.
