THE JEWELLERS ART,

Crystal finger bowls set in silver gilt
frames are very handsome.
A new departure is the use Of small
and beautifully cut canoes In belt
buckles.
Hammered silver stands forth conspic
uous through its artistic excellence
among the new fall productions.
The newest purse for carrying in the
hand is furnished with a short chain
and chased ring to slip over the finger.
Studdings Of many semiprecious stones
Of different rich colors are increasingly
used on the extension top of the round
purse.
Quaint and original in charms is line
of birthday souvenirs. Each charm con-
sists Of fiat, irregularly outlined bit Of
gold roughly hammered and set with the
stone Of the month.
A T shaped handle catches the eye as
something fresh in umbrellas. One seen
was Of carved silver gilt with ball of
handsomely marked agate at either end
Of the crossbar.
The marauise diamond represents quite
the newest and most elegant fad in rings.
A single very large stone is cut into the
shape mentioned, yet hardly SO pointed as
the true maruuisc form, being somewhat
more Of an elongated oval.-Jewelers'

RIDING HABIT.

medieval coronets and diadems for the
ballroom, Spanish mantillas for evening
use in the carriage, directory felt hats
for the street and all sorts OF capricious
shapes for various occasions.
Felt, velvet, Grape, lace, ostrich and
other feathers and flowers, especially Of
silk and velvet, are the chief millinery
materials, with the addition Of jet, metal
and jeweled effects of all kinds.
The shapes Of hats this winter are
very odd and striking, especially as re-
CARDS the crown, which Is sometimes
small and fiat, sometimes immensely tall
and narrow, sometimes bell shaped. A
felt brim frequently has velvet crown,
or vice versa.
A picture Is given which shows the
newest riding habit. 1t Is Of black cloth
and has a comparatively short skirt. The
tight coat has short coattails and a mans
coat collar and revers and is cut away
in front to show a plain vest Of white
piQue closed by small pearl buttons. Lin
en- cuffs and a linen collar, with turned
down corners, are worn and plastron

hat accompanies the habit.

The wonderful progress made in the

nation during the past half century is
amply illustrated by the international
yacht races. When the yacht America,
in August. 1851. beat II British yachts
off the Isle of Wight, the news was 10
days in reaching the United States. No
New York or Boston paper had from
its own correspondent over 500 words
describing the contest. Most of the
American newspapers covered the race
with brief clippings from the London
journals. Instead Of taking Is days. it
now takes only about 13 minutes to
spread the news Of yacht race or any
other important event all over this
country and Europe. Within five
hours after the race is sailed or the
referee has declared that there is no

Financial Review.

New York, Nov 17.-Bradstreet's FL
nancial Review tomorrow will say:
Speculation this week has hinged entire
ly on the money market and the devel-
opments connected with it. Last Satur-
days unexpectedly bad bank statement
showing that the New York clearing in
situations We're about 81, 100000 below the
legal reserve limit, created an unfavora-
Bile impression about the probable course
of prices at the opening of the week.
But in place of the expected selling
movement the movement from Monday
ownward developed support of an excel
lent quality, while at the same time
large supplies of funds came into the
call loan market. While rates touched
10G12 per cent? this was the extreme
range and the bulk of the borrowing at
the stock exchange was on lower level
than for a fortnight or so. Large
amounts were loaned at per cent. or
less, and the money was offered in such
a way as to indicate that the intention
was to ease the market. The general i'm
preston, Furthermore, was that there was
a close connection between the appear
ance of these supplies of money and
the break of the exchange rates else
where described. In fact, it was un-
derstood that certain institutions had
made large sterling loans and had used
the money derived from the sales of
bonds
Both practically and sentimentally the
secretary of the treasury's action had an
excellent effect and measurably dissi-
pated an existing feeling of disquiet in
regard to the money situation. Prices
therefore advanced throughout the list,
though one of the features of the week
was the extent to which activity seemed
to be confined to lower-priced stocks, like
some of the Pacific group. At the same
time the higher-priced railroad stocks

An adventurer named Rodriguez
Aries took 1t into to his head to pro-
claim himself president of this no mans
land. The new government was for
mally created, minister of state appoint
ed and the capital fixed at Antimairi,
small hamlet which is a depot for the
shipment of rubber. The new state of
Acre contains no large cities; indeed.
it contains 40 town larger than a small
village.
The new president is man who has
seen much of the world. He is a Span
lard and was formerly a banker in his
own country, then theatrical impresar-
10 in the United States, clerk of works
in Paris and merchant broker in Brazil,
settling down later as broker in
Buenos Ayres. where he made the ac-
quaintances of the gentlemen who to-
day are his ministers.
The new government is no mere fic
ton. for it has caused no small conster-
nation among the neighborng states,
Bolivia in particular being much con-
cerned and about to send an armed
force to cause her flag to be respected
in the new republic.
The Argentine papers are full of ac-
counts of Acre. some of them giving
maps and Illustrations.
T The new president of Acre does not
reckon upon raising a revenue by the
sale of titles nor yet by the establish

which were adopted under like circum-
stances by Baron Harder Hickey, erst-
while monarch of the barren island of
Trinidad, but expects to fill the public
exchequer by levying export duties on
rubber, which at present is the sole
source of wealth to the country.
