Some Gowns Worn by
 We'll Dressed Women

As Lady Mary Sackville Is considered one of the best-dressed women in England, New York society is deeply interested in her fine clothes, which she wears with in- telllgence, a thing which cannot be said of all Englishwomen, says the New York World. Lady Mary is so tall and has such a superb figure that her simplest gowns have an impressive appearance. She is ex- ceedingly fond of dress, and has brought an elaborate wardrobe with her.
 One of the handsomest gowns is of silver gauge. Not merely silver color, but woven through with tiniest threads of silver, yet so thin and sheer that it looks almost like cobwebs. It is an evening gown and has long. trailing, floating skirts that simmer about the tall figure like wraths of mist. It is cut very decollete, in true English fashion, to show Lady Mary's matchless white shoulders. It is in V-shape back and front and has large rosettes of silver satin, run through with cords of featherbone; these ornament one side of the corsage in a row, and huge cluster of white liies de- corates the other shoulder. There are gauge sleeves which veil the arms without hiding any of their white charms
 Lady Mary paid a round of calls with Mrs. Gould and wore a gown of pale ba- nana-colored cloth appliqued with ecru lace and having a lace coat with a high fiaring collar. A Dg huff of rich black velvet, cord ed with featherbone and big black vel vet picture hat nodd!ng with long black plumes, completed this extremely rich cos tune.
 Mrs George Gould dresses her children very prettly. and her youngest daughter, a sweet, h.own-eye1 girl, is to be seen fl t. ting about the piny woods of Lakewood Ike a brilliant b'rd Tn coat of spend.d scarlet cloth trimmed with sealskln, q little seal skin huff being hung about the neck by a broad scarlet ribbon, with big crisp bow al each end of the huff. The hat worn with the bright coat is of black, furry felt, trimmed with masses of scarlet ribbon bows very wide and full.
 The oder daugh.e Miss Marjory, who is such dainty little lady, appears in a coat of electric gray. with braidngs in mill itary fashion in black
 A chtnch:lla huff and turban are worn with this coat, the turban having mass of black pompons at one side.

 European stocks in sight, with mill stocks reported by Ellison, cover consumption at the rate he reports for a large part but not for the whole of the crop year remain ing, and the visible supply in this country is being sold at terms which make the 450 0O0 bales exported this month worth more than 670,000 bales would have been worth a year ago, when only 244,0O0 bales went abroad in the same time. Receipts have exceeded last years for the week, though not for the month The goods mar ket Is only strong in demands for imme- diate needs few caring to base future dealings on present prices, while some make concessions for distant deliveries.
 The wool markets are called stronger in tone, though of the sales reported much the greater part were at concessions, and manufacturers are doing very little. The state of the goods market does not en- courage manufac cturers to pay the prices now asked. There is not only little ground to expect an advance dn prices but in other than the leading grades some con- sessions are frequently made to secure transactions and the business is still dis appointing and restricted.
 The advance in wheat which followed the sta tements of the quantity in farmers hands has not been maint aimed and the de- cline for the past week has been 1$c; corn also yielding about 1ac.
 Failures for the week have been 1S3 in the United States against 200 last year; 27 in Canada against A last year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, March 23-Bradstreets weekly financial review will say:
 Speculation has this week developed re- markable activity and strength, the latter feature being mainly confined to what is known as the standard railroad stocks. The principal factor in the market has been the disappearance of fears regarding the money market. Last weeks bank statement showed a large decrease in the item of loans, indicating that banks which had purchased government bonds for the pur- pose of converting them into new 2 per cents and taking out circulations, were pay ing off these borrowings. This process is likely to be rapid one, and the supply of money available for stock market purposes have evidently increased. Rates for call loans were, however, only slightly easier and the activity of the stock market natur- ally tends to augment the demand for funds. The feeling of the street in re- gard to the financial outlook is neverthe- less, one of confidence and the disposition to discount the effect of the currency bill upon the bank circulating has been marked. Large interests have consequently felt themselves able to give support to their specialties, and at the same time the pub Ec both here and abroad has shown a read mess to participate in the movement The amount of outside buying was considerably
 
 witnessed for some months past. London has taken a favorable view of the effects of the surrency bill and of the position of the American railroad properties. It has been some time since London has been such a large purchaser in this market, its buying of Atchison, the Pacifics, Baltimore and Ohio, and other London specialtes, pro- ducing an impression upon the exchange market which has been decidedly weak in consequence of offerings of bills against this foreign buying. The sudden announce ment of the purchase of the Third avenue road by the Metropolitan Street railroad and the sensational advice of more than fifty points in the former stock not only demoralized the bear party in the street. but created for time more or less fear that the trouble might arise in connection with the short Interest in the stock No actual difficulties, however, developed in this connection and the action of Third Avenue led to covering of shorts in other directions and aided materially in stimu- lating public interest as to ether parts of the list

Notes of Interest Gathered
 From Various Sources

Among Mrs. Deweys wedding gifts was a very unique and handsome ring that is really one of the famous jewels of Wash ington. It is double ring of dull-red gold to be worn on two fingers. Mrs Dewey has decided to wear 1t on the third and fourth. The band of stones, crossing half her hand, is an immense ruby and two equally large diamonds, one on either side, the gold set ting ending in a point on either side of these. This beautiful gift was made pur- posely for Mrs. Dewey and is a copy of one seen by Mrs. Hit in the far east, the property of a high potentate. Mrs. Dewey

 One pair of andirons in the dining room of William c. Whitneys new nome cost s5,- OOO They are of bronze and surmounted by the figure of a man. They are attributed to no famous artist; beyond the fact that they belong to the renaissance nothing is known about them. It is plain, though, that they must have been the work of a genius, for the force and beauty in the two figures show exceptional talent in the creator. MT. Whitney has particular weakness for and irons and every room to which they are ap- propriate is supplied with some beautiful samples of these useful articles, though not all of them cost 5000.
