San Francisco, June IItn-
The local Wheat market was more
active and stronger to-day. prices on call
advancing sharply and the quotations for
spot lots being higher all around, with
more inquiry from shippers, owing to bet
ter foreign advices. The Chicago mar
ket, influenced by the favorable foreign
news and good export demand, was
strong, although at first spectators sold
freely, owing to big receipts.
Barley was quiet, both on and off call.
Receipts were 4,6S5 centals. New Barley
to arrive is easy and old Barley steady.
Oats were easy for Feed and firm for
Guiding 41O centals from Oregon and 405

Receipts of Hay to-day were 300 tons.
New Hay is in fair demand at steady
prices. Old Hay is quiet and weak. Bran

The absurd tilt given to some of the
French hats and the mass of trimming
ON the tilted. side give a curiously ex-
aggerated look, and the monster flow
ers used to top the structure render the
models ridiculous from every point of
view
Polonaise princesse dresses and
countless princesse effects appear con-
stantly among the French models as
they are unlocked at the various import
ing houses, and these styles are carried
out in summer costume cloth, drap
d'ete, silk, Liberty satin, grenadine,
lace, net, barege. yelling and crepe de
chine and the newest garnitureS are
wide, heavy, Irish point insertions, che
mile embroideries, wrought directly on
the goods and silk fringes both wide
and narrow.
Both French and American modistes
are still making use of all kinds and
. colors of narrow ribbon as trimming for
summer gowns of silk, yelling, grena-
dine, barege, etc. These are gathered
through the center, plated, quilted, put
on after being slightly drawn up in
braidwork designs, or they are ar
ranged in small or deep points on both
skirt and bodice. They bind founces
and ruches wide and narrow, they bor
der ruff1es and puffs, and are used as
a heading for f1ounces and plaitings on
gowns for both day and evening wear.
In other fashionable dress trimmings
the use of plated f1ounces, tucks, friils
and tiny ruches formed of gathered
mousseline de sole is still very marked.
Many of the new summer fabrics
have a continuous trimming woven in
the goods. Grenadines, etamines and
nets have beautiful insertions, incrust
ations, chenille devices like embroidery
and runnings of crimped ribbon inter-
woven.
A very beautiful black and white
gown consists of white chiffon flounces
scalloped like the petals of flower
and edged with the lightest make Of
black lace; this had a very short tunic
in. three or four large scallops just COW
ering the hips, fitting them closely,
made in white glace and embroidered
with black lace and black silk Chimes
are certainly going to be worn, and a
bodice with black stripes divided by
chine roses on a white ground opened
in the fashionable style back and front.
