No striking novelties have been exhibited
by the grand ladies who ornament the
Longchamps races One usually looks for
ward to some novelties there. The most
pleasing one l have noted is the adoption of
the three godet skirt by graceful women
who wish to show to advantage the perfec-
tion of their tall and slender figures. Prin-
cess garments, with bodice outlined by
black velvet which passed under plait in
'front.' and was adjusted through a buckle in
the back, were noticeably numerous in the
reserved tribune. Revers are gradually dis
appearing from smart frocks, and fancifully
stitched applications of silk or fat gallons to
encTcle the neck are taking their place.
Fouard frocks are not yet shelved. They
are too useful and too pretty One with

shaped over the hips with narrow tucks,
bore deep fiounce about the lower part.
The bodice was tucked over the bust, and
the sleeves were tucked about the wrist A
vest of tucked chiffon, ornamented with
gold threaded guipure, and a wide waist

Nine. Jane Hadng has been displaying
some very smart frocks in the charming

from its richness there was nothing strik-

of costume that, with women who go in for
comfort, seems to have come to stay-the
corsetless garment. In my opinion 1t is
possible in it's perfection only to women OF

1t is not the New York spectators who

This letter was returned to me marked
across it's face in red ink "Discourteous

letter to the Mayor
Herman Myers, Mayor, City, Dear Sir:
The return of my letter written to you the
4th. inst marked discourteous. inaccurate
and unfair, is simply another way Of hid
ing yourself behind the shadow of the
high office that you hold. In a former
letter written to you Nov. 81 1900. l told
you that Savannah had been stripped of
her brightest jewels in the way of street
car franchises, by the present street car
monopoly when you were a director and
financially interested in the railroad.
You met that charge by saying that l
was trying to buiidoze you and that you
were no longer interested in the street
railways of Savannah Our city is still
being stripped of its street franchises by
the same Old street car monopoly and you
stll a party to the stripping and l in
sist that II is your duty as Mayor of Sa-
vannah to explain 10 the people your con-
duct in reference to these franchises, and
you dare not deny that you have not OPP
posed the will of the people.

doze you. Neither have / been unfair or

been elected Mayor of this city
does not give you the right
to refuse TO explain your Of
fetal conduct. and I claim the right to
demand 1t of you. In making this claim
l know that | am voleing nine-tenths of
the people of Savannah. My letter of
the 18th inst, returned as discourteous,
etc, gave you a chance to convince me
of the wrong impression that | may have
had and now 1t is your duty as Mayor of
Savannah TO treat this matter as deal
ing with the interest of the public and
NOT with the interest of one individual.
Respectfully, ID. b. Lester.
This last letter has been treated with
contempt, while Mr. Parsons line Is be-
ing treated to another franchise on Mont
gomery street. The Mayor has made the
statement that he Is no longer interested
in street railroads in Savannah, and II
such is the case. he can easily explain

The furious activity in the stock mar
ket which has been going on for so long
a time not only continues, but has great
ly increased in intensity during the past
week. Again have all records been left
far behind in volume of transactions as
well as in the prices attained
The stocks furnishing the principal SEN
sations were mostly the same ones which
for some weeks have been so prominent
Union Pacific rose over % points to 1873
Atchison about 10 points to 90l4; st. Paul
about 10 points to 1855; New York Central
10 points TO 10 Besides, Northern Pacific.
Missouri Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio and
many others enjoyed important advances
A sharp reaction occurred on Friday in
which some stocks fell near 10 points. I'm
ION Pacific and Atchison being prominent
On saturday, however, the tone was again
stronger, st. Paul scoring most of its
advance on that day, and closing at the
top Most of the other leaders closed at
material recession from the weeks best
figures.
United States Steel stocks were quite
active and advanced substantially. but
later partly relapsed. Tennessee Coal was
persistently weak feature. Friends of
this stock are Disguised by it's heaviness,
which is probably due to renewed talk
Oh bond issue. Moreover. it seems the
company made no gain In its surplus last
year. Industrials generally were without
movement of importance
The bank statement showed a loss of
some $4,000 in the surplus reserve. and
indicated possibilities of renewed tight
money talk in the near future. The mar
ket, however, closed strong. ana with
every indication that the wild fever will
run on for some time yet But caution
and conservatism are strongly urged. for
the danger IS great; and growing daily
greater.
Cotton was quite weak, closing heavy
at almost the lowest figures July closed
20 points lower at 773c. The new crop
months declined 10 to 20 points. The move
ment holds up beyond all records, and
promises final yield of near 1886. 600
pales. Weather warmer, but mostly too
dry' and there is not much improvement
in the news about the start of the new
crop.
There does not seem much at present
to put cotton up, but it does not annear
advisable to sell short while the start of
the new crop is so uncertain.
AS forecasted here last week. wheat was
weaker. and closed &c lower after sundry
fluctuations; July 72%c. Crop news is
quite favorable in the main, and selling
on the frequent moderate advances will
PROBABLY result prohtably. July may sell
as low as b5c before the option expires.
The corner in May corn carried the price
up lie to 6sc on Friday from which there
came reaction of some sc. This, being
entirely artificial, has had very little in
