FASHIONS OF THE SEASON.
INDOOR and Outdoor Crowns For Spring and
Summer Wear as by Fashionable Women
Interestingly Told by Lucy Carter.

The salient feature in shop window
displays is that of independent waists.
A potent monopoly they often are, ex-
Guiding every competing factor and
when not a monopoly. they form a
quota, running from every day utility
garments, to Celebrations deft and
wonderful, in which silken weaves are
united with chiffon, mousseline, net,
lace or ribbon; gilt, silver, spangles,
or jet imparting often an overcasting
finish, that is completed by buckles
the most ornate possible aud to all, the
now very fashionable black velvet belt
gilt adorned or otherwise, affords an
artistic relief. As an introduction of
the season may be noted challie waists,
somewhat warmer than cotton and
lighter than flannel.
Entire Gowns,
nevertheless, have so much mate ele-
gance, that they hold their own and
fill no despicabIe position in the world
of attire. No matter with what satls-
faction a woman may view her stock of
waist she realizes the need of some
thing more complete and her outfit
cannot be wholly satisfactory without
examples on such order. Department
stores, and leading workrooms, there
for, cater fully to such aspirations
and in the latter was seen lately a
beautiful creation i'll changeable silk

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET


New Orleans, July 27.--Liverpool was
hardly up to expectations this morning
Our market opened Z to 10 points high
er, owing to the Chronicles weekly re-
port being considered unfavorable as
to the crop outlook, and to stop orders
being reached. Free selling right after
the opening by yesterdays purchasers
was instrumental in causing all the inn
provement to be lost, and on reports of
good rains in the Corsicana district,
where needed, a further decline of 8
to resulted, closing prices being the
lowest of the day. Heavy rains were
reported again over night in North
Texas, and the territories, giving these
sections enough moisture for the pres
ent, and as the precipitation seems to
be extending to Central Texas, which
is yet without general precipitation,
the main sustaining feature to the
market appears on the eve of vanish
ing. With the manipulation in summer
months in New York out of the way,
the market will now be ruled entirely
by crop news and a thorough break
in the drought in Central Texas is apt
to lead to further decline on which
we think prudent to cover profitable
shorts. Should, however, rains not be-
come general in Central Texas shortly,
we may expect some reaction.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July 27.-The Chronicle
report for the week was much more
bullish than expected last evening, in
fact, it was thought then a bearish
showing was in order in view of num-
Der of good rains in Texas, and inn
proved conditions claimed elsewhere.
The effect in Liverpool was an advance
of two to four points. Early rain re-
ports included Charleston, 10; Black
vile, S. c.. &c. Montgomery, 81, and
showers at Austin, Tex. Because of
lateness of crop, anxiety is expressed
lest the August weather should prove
so dry as to cut it down materially.
Some local shorts got scared by the
Chronicle report, and Liverpool gain,
and the effect was a higher market at
the opening by 5 to 9 points. Suisse
quently there was a slight easing off,
but the total transactions footed up
small, and net changes from the open
ing were unimportant.
