THE SPRING SKIRTS
They Have Il sheathIike Eject About

Nj the new spring skirts are made
with the sheathlike effect around the
hips and in the hack. with plenty OF

skirt ReceSsitates very careful choos-
ing Of uudergarmeHts. but that prob

women are looking rather better IN
consequence The new skirts have the
front breadtbs narrow at the top. quite
wide Al the foot, and the sides cut cir
eular OF gored- In these respects there
are not many decided changes: the
trimmings OF the skirt. however. are
rather different. The fiat bands and
the folds are still used and also some
braiding. but all these trimmings are
put on quite differently. The newest
skirts are on the overSkirt plan There
is always 4 petticoat (gsnerally and
preferably silk one) that is finished al

Z The new silk skirts fit very close and

THE PLANET EROS.
La Probably Not More Thmm
Twenty Niles fm Diameter. :

A special to the New York Journal
and Advertiser from Cambridge,
Mass, says: Profs Pickering and
Wendell of the Harvard Observatory.
have just made some very important
discoveries with regard to the new
planet Eros From the recent disrov-
cries it Is found that the Harvard OBJ
servstory took photographs of this
planet as early as 1873 These photo
graphs when compared with the ones
that were taken the other night.
made IL possible TO tell accurately
the path size and distance Of the
planet from the earth.
The astronomers have determined
that the planet Is probably not more
than % miles in diameter, and at
times comes nearer the earth than
any other planet. 1t belongs to a
group of planets that come between
Mars and Jupiter. but Eros breaks
away and often comes this side of
Mars. thus being nearer the earth
than any celestial body except the
moon
These observations viii continue at
the observatory until about the firSs
of March. when it Is intended TO con
tinue the observa tions from the sta
ton in South America. where il Is be
iieved the planet Will be visible a
month longer than in any other part

ADVANCE IN PRICE
OF COTTON GOODS.
Unpleasant Surprise to Whole
saiers, Who Were Expecting
Market to Decline.

81. Louis wholesale dry goods merchants
were astonished yesterday by the receipt
OF numerous kilograms from mill agents
and manufacturers in the East. announcing
a general advance Of about one quarter Of
q cent a yard In all kinds Of cotton goods.
where a decline in prices had been looked
for.
The advance applies to all the leading
makes Of bleached cottons. brown sheet
ings and similar goods. and 1t Is evident
that further dvances are now looked for.
as manufacturers. after quoting fruit
bleached' goods at 1Ss cents a yard net.
"ionsdales" at "a cents net, and "Hender-
Son sheetinss," the best make of brown
sheetings. at 4 cent a yard advance, noti-
fled local jobbers as follows: I'VE viii
take orders for immediate delivery only.
Future orders will be taken only at value
On account OF the advance in cotton
goods. the market for WOODEN goods is also
strong and advancing. and much higher
prices are looked for.
One of the leading local dry goods job
bers. in speaking of the advance. yesterday
said: The advance was a great surprise
to- the trade In general, as two weeks ago
5obbers were predicting a decline OF a half
cent a yard I'm cotton goods. and 80 thor
oughly convinced were they that the de-
cline was coming that many of them in
their haste to clean out their stocks sold
at from a quarter to a half cent loss.
80 general was the rush to sell that
stocks were quickly disposed of. and orders
for new goods from all parts OF the coun-
try struck the manufacturers at the same
time. and they were 30 rushed with bust
ness that instead of the expected reduc-
tion. they advanced prices. As a result pe0-
pie who have oversold will be hit hard.
'St. Louis jobbers will not suffer as much
as those In some Of the other jobbing CEN
tiers, as they control the greater part OF
the Texas trade, and since the beginning
CT the oil excitement in that State they
ave been able to do a good business with
out cutting prices. Although We will all
lose more or less by the advance. 1t will
be much better for the trade In the end, as
1t Is much better to have a firm market,
and country merchants will not only ~
more freely. but will be much better salts
fled on an advancing than on a declining
market"
The advance means a good deal to house
wives, as almost all of the summer clothes
for women and children are made Of cot
ton goods.
