SPRING SUITS.


In vogue.
NEW York, March 2l.--lt IL a long
time since we have seen any plated
skirts in the street, and the sight e one
made that way strikes the present gen
GRAFTON as something decidedly new and
therefore desirable. while the older gen
erations look back through the mists Of
30 years and say Dear me, how the
time flies | had gown made that
way before was married, and that is
oh gracious over 90 years ago. just
think -
So il is. The world turns and fash
ions revolve with it, Well, the plated
skirts are seen, few in numbers as yet
but perhaps there will be more later
There are four ways of plating a dress
skirt First kilt, which has wide plaits,
side, which has them about an inch
wide, knife which has them half an
inch, and accordion, which has the plaits
still narrower. Those first mentioned
always have the folds deeper than they
appear on the surface, while accordion
has them equidistant. This is done SO
that they may float out 1t is done by
steam and is intended only for rather
light materials, though not those in
tended to be Numbered. Liberty silks
and satins and silk warp mohairs, and
some weavcs of grenadinc, and some
nets and silk muslins for dancing are
all pretty in these close plaits.
One handsome new suit was made of
very dark blue whipcord, very fine. The
skirt was simply hemmed and then side
plated to the waist. over this was one Of
the newest of the new tunic pOlonai1es.
This is cut regular princess form in the
back, and is curved mp the front, which
is left open an inch at the waist line
and opens out gradually into a vest
front, hOrdered with fur and edged with
little ribbon loops Around the polonaise
are four rows of corded stitChings,
which enriches the edge. The vest is Of
very pale blue china Grape The high
collar is of dark blue velvet with a
cravat bow of the same shade Of ribbon
as the loops. This is very handsome

Many of the designs for spring cos
tunes are markedly elegant. There was
one suit for u young lady Of gray vene'
tian 80 dark as to look black in some
lights. The skirt was cut to fit closely
over the hips and to flare at the bottom.
Around the whole skirt little above
the hips was pretty design in black
soutache braid, The jacket had those
funny little tabs down the front like
nothing that | have ever seen before.
Most sleeves are perfectly tight now
and if any Of them show any orna
mentation it is not brought out by thu
sleeve itself, but by some trimming
outside of it. Elbow sleeves have beei
worn to some extent all the winter, bu

Austin, (Tex) Letter IN New York Sun,
The coyote of the Texas range is not
always the cowardly and sneaking thiev-
ing animal that he has been pictured.
There are times when he becomes vicious
and does not hesitate to attack man or
beast Instances are known to the old
plainsmen of Texas when coyotes, singly
and In droves, have attacked COW and
sheep camps and fought cowboys and
sheep herders. 1t was only a few days
ago that drove of coyotes, maddened
with hunger, made an attack on the peo-
pie Of the little town Of Carrizo Springs,
An Dimmit county in daylight. A number
of people were bitten and it was feared
for time that the coyotes were suffering
from rabies.

Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the

New York, Jan. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say to-mor-
row:
The year begins with the kind of BUSH
ness demand that counts. For months
there has been rising demand for mate
rails but now the browning demand for
finished products begins to advance prices,
in the iron and steel industry. about / per
cent, without quotable changes IN pig ex-
cept in the East. Beams have advanced
81 per ton; angles. 81; bars, 81, and plates
are strong, with an Australian order for
1900 tons refused at Chicago because the
works are already overcrowded. Many
thousand cars are covered by orders at
Pntsburg, 10000 tons bars are taken for
agricultural works at Chicago, 100000 tons
rails are taken by the PENNSYLVANIA Com
pany, the Midland Railroad Company of
England has ordered twenty locomotives
from the Baldwin works. and many other
home and foreign orders are reported. The
demand has never been greater at the be-
ginning of the year than it is now.
Big Orders for Wool.
The wooden manufacture has a similar
embarra ssment. While one hundred quo
tations of wool by Coates Bros. of Phil
adelphia average 1893 cents, against 20 Il
year ago, the market is gradually yield
ing, because the people appreciate the
magnitude of stocks on hand, while the
Boston Commercial Bulletin reports at
29l 100000 pounds, an increase in the ac-
count of 100000 pounds for the year
Obviously this means a great movement
from the farms to millers' stocks and
Eastern markets, but prices are not low
enough to encourage large buying or con-
sumption by the manufacturers. The only
heavy weight goods yet opened are at je-
duced prices, as had been expected. and it
is still uncertain how far the trade for the
coming season may prove satisfactory.
Cotton goods are in fair demand, with
cotton at 5.S7 cents. ana while nobody can
guarantee that the price will not go lower,
it is believed by competent observers that
the market for goods is so far relieved of
accumulated surplus that prices are not
likely to decline materially, even If cot
ton falls.
The movement of cotton, thus far indi-
Gates a crop over 100000 bales larger than
that of last year in spite of all natural
disposition and concerted efforts 10 hold il
back. As producers are not this year in
unusual need a movement so heavy him
ders any advance in price although TAX
ings of spinners have been as large in 1898
as in any other year, and exports larger
than before.
