mine, incrusted between two rows Of sable
The shaped hounce round the bottom is sim

A large fur polonaise is specially designed
for the automobile. 1t is fastened by but
tons, having a marvellous resemblance to
the eye in a peacock's tail, and one large
imitation sapphire uncut is edged with a
broad disk of oxydized gold. Some very
small buttons, in groups of three or four,
are verltable works of art, and harmonic
with the severe beauty of the furs. have
seen some of the color of Vesuvian lava and
of very large size in the "art nouveau"
style, with designs copied from marine
flora; others resemble sweet peas with the
tlnts of jade.
Lastly, one sees everywhere-at the races,
in the Bots, at the Palais de Glaze, in the
streets and in the shop windows-the pref
test stoles and boas composed of quantity
of sables and foxes, which are worn in mum
bers, like pack of hounds.

Mixtures of mousseline de sole with panne
and velvet are laid aside without regret, for
the rich texture of the fur is sufficiently
handsome, and a mixture of some other kind
is richer and more becoming as an orna-
ment.
With all these sumptuous furs and their
luminous, but dark glints, nothing goes bet
ter than the massive jewelry now worn sus-
pended by long, artistic chains scintillating
with gems; buttons on the mantle, pend
ants around the neck, and elaborate fasten-
ings and buckles at the waist. All these
things tempt the Imagination of artists, and
they produce marvels in every style with
the happiest facility.

If you trim the skirt round where the

Paris Saturday, November 81 have beeh
reading recently in book pubhshed some
years ago that every year furry skinned AMI
mails are massacred by millions in every
mart of the globe. Carefully computed sta
tistics are given estimating the exports OF
f11rs to the centres whence they are for
warded to the great capitals to serve as
ornaments for the women of fashion of all
countries.
The number of skins consumed in Paris Is
fabulous, and only the talent of Partisan
workers in fur can account for this They
know how to give an Incompatible "cachet
to the feeces handled by them, thus show
ing the superiority of Partisan taste, the
accuracy of which always charms the eye
of the connoisseur.
Partisan merchants buy the finest SKINS
and know how to dress them with taste
and art to which foreigners pay homage
by copying and initiating them. The finest
creations come from Paris workrooms, ana
throughout the world stylish women con-
tend for their products. 1t is no doubt the
position attained by this industry that in

Tailormade costumes, indoor dresses, Wis

sport of skating, and the even more exciting
automobiling, have brought handsome fur
garments into greater favor than ever.
FURS OF THE SEASON.
For the benefit of fair readers of this
paper have obtained from reliable source
some information as to the fresh variations
imposed by fashion in the makeup Of furs
this winter for the most interesting point
is the diversity of aspect that can be given
to skins which in their natural condition ap-
pear refractory to the laws that govern
dressmaking.
I applied to NJ. Grunwaldt, from whom
are hidden no secrets in the art of adjoining

what l cleaned during my visit:
Many long nantes will be worn, made en-
tirely of one fur, with the collar and sleeves
trimmed with fur of some other kind; also
boleros, short jackets and especially Louis

sleeves and the large turned-down collars
that have became compulsory since the

jackets. The later are in competition with
the bolero, but it is doubtful whether they
will supercede It.
Sable cloth, which is not new, will be
worn again, also tartans, but these latter
will be confined to few colors, such as
green, blue, yellow, etc.

nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.. Grain
Commission Brokers, Chamber of
Commerce, Minneapolis, $40 Board of
Trade, Duluth
Dec. 4-Last weeks grain market
was quiet and steady until on Friday.
when an advance began, which has
reached &c per bushel for wheat; 3-sc
per bushel for Chicago corn; 7Sc for
Chicago oats.
The news for the week was the same
as 1t has been: Large primary receipts
of wheat with good cash demand;
small receipts of coarse grains, with
large demand and advancing prices;
continued dry weather in the South
west. The advance is based on large
buying by the country, continued
drought in the Southwest, and higher
cables. There was a decrease in re.
ceipts on Monday and Tuesday of this
week, with a decrease of nearly 100000
bushels in the amount on ocean pass
age, and small deliveries on December
contracts have also helped. An in
crease Of $500 900 bushels in the worlds
visible supply has been ignored. This
week wheat has shown great strength,
independent of corn, and has led the
advance. Western primary receipts of
wheat were about 100000 bushels for
the week. Exports We're 5117,000 bush
els. According to t5radstreet, the worlds
visible supply OF wheat has increased
22, 125000 bushels in the last three
eeks. Primary receipts from July /
to Nov. %, aggregated 144,00O,000 BUSH
els. and exports for the same time were
12S, 100000 bushels. Exports OF corn
since July / are but 19,250.o00 bushels,
compared with 7i,3S3.OOO bushels for the
same period last year. Receipts of corn
are very small. The steady advance in
price signally justifes all predictions
made in these letters during the past
month. Minneapolis May wheat is now
quoted at 76 5-sc; May flax, $1.44 1-2;
Chicago May corn and oats, 6s 1-2 and
Acc, respectively. We think wheat high
enough for the present. Advise pur-
chases on any material decline.

Washington, Dec. 10. - The senate
chamber was the scene Of highly dra-
matte episode yesterday when Senator

his colleague, Senator McLaurin, to re-
sign with him on the spot in order, to

the direct sequel of the bitter contro-
Yersy which arose between the sent

McLaurin arose to a question Of per-
sonal privilege yesterday and proceeded
to explain what he charged was a con-
spir9cy to discredit him in his own
state for acts and views which did not
meet the approval OF certain Demo-
cratic leaders. Lie declared that he was

Washington. Dec. 11.--Speaker Hen

the committees. The early appoint

tate legislation considerably.
Representative Ryan of New York
introduced a bill authorizing the state
department to eXpend such amount as
is necessary to secure the release of
Miss Stone, the missionary held by
Turkish brigands. About 1900 bills
and resolutions we're introduced, most
of them reprints of measures proposed
at former sessions. Among the new
bills were those of Mr.. Shattuc of Ohio
for the exclusion and deportation Of
alien anarchists, and of Mr.. Wilcox,
the delegate from Hawaii, for the re-
tirement of the Hawaiian silver coin
age.
A general speech on the Philippines
was delivered by the venerable eX-
speaker Galusha A. Grow of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr. Burke of South Dakota
formally announced the death of Sena-
tor Kyle. and as a mark of respect the
house adjourned Immediately. The ad-
journment was until Friday.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Congress is in

project, and it is confidently predicted
that the work of constructing the big
ditch will be inaugurated next summer.
Yesterday the senate displayed It's
feeling in the matter by unanimously
agreeing to take vote before adjourn

That the instrument will be ratified
and thus open the way for the con-
struCtion OF a caral across the isthnus
Is a foregone conclusion. There is
