 rBy Special Leaned yyfrAI

NEW ORLEANS June 30.--The course of Liverpool today afforded no satisfactory sug- xestion for traders on either side of the cot ton market Spots were marked down t-32d with sales of 5000 bales and deliveries were quoted about 5-64d lower. A decline of larger proportions would not have been surprising, considering that bright crop prospects had been restored by opportune rains in Texas and other sections Of the belt since the English market took holiday and besides the accounts of trade from Manchester were rather unsat- isfaetory. There was an air of uncertainty about the trading here. With the exception of the statistical position the surrounding features seemed to be entirely in favor of the bears, but there was little disposition apparent. Amongst that element to increase commitments and covering by some impatient shorts created steadier tone Closing quo- tations are G7 points higher than Saturday. If appears that the spot department is in- cifned to display steadier front and this fact has caused the sellers of discounts to hesitate and reflect on the possibilities of the situation. With the steady recent decline prices have reached q level that might prove attractive to spinners and with the increased cost of production 1t Is a question whether the country will force the sale of cotton im- nlediately from the beginning of the season. Thus conservatism is still good policy to pur- sue.

toy Pr1Vate Wlre NEW YORK, June 3o.-The resumption of business at Liverpool after three days holi- day failed to broaden local speculation Small spot sales in the Liverpool market were posi- tive indications of absence of interest in quarters where spInners always evince more or less anxiety and the drift of foreign prices over the Liverpool holiday indicated belief in improved crop conditions as result of the Texas moisture. A tone of decided bearish- ness was shown in some cables, but local op- orators were inclined to take conservative view and while recognising the importance of the termination of the Texas drought the fact was not overlooked that the next two months will proc the mos. critical of all; therefore. probabilities are that we shall witness greater sensitiveness than usual the next sixty days. Some private Alabama reports were less satls- factory than usual Rain fell today at Abi- 1ene, Little Rock.

FASHION

NEW YORK, Oct 1S-In spite or the
morotonous downpour of rain, there
was a goodly showing of early autumn
modes at the Tuxedo horse show
Though many of the younger women
and girls appeared in smart tailored
frocks, there was nevertheless a pleas
ing display of more elaborate cos
tunes.
In the aforementioned group, Miss
Hartman, with her striking blonde
beauty, looked extremely well in a
dark-hued short suit.
One of Mrs. Lorillard's guests, in
gray silk crepe with embroidery, at
tracted admiring attention.
The extremely long and graceful
skirt, made with a wide graduated
fiounce, had heavy gray lace about the
bottom This was in turn headed by
elaborate silk embroidery trimming
done in the most delicate shades.
The same style of trimming showed
in another band halfway up the skirt,
meeting a narrow tucked panel of the
silk in front.
The bodice was made with a short
square-edged bolero of the lace and
embroidery in combination.
This. which showed delicate silk
roses and ferns worked into the heavy
lace. opened over full tucked front
of chiffon and lace. with a double row
of tiny jeweled buttons traversing it
from top to bottom.
The buttons were pearl and pale
pink coral, each no larger than small
pea
The sleeves were of solid lace, over
tucked gray chiffon, with deep elbow
cuffs of embroidery from which dam
gled the slender, long, silk-covered
pendants SO much in vogue ever since
Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt set the fashion
by reviving them for her famous white
automobile coat.
Another delicate gown, of biscuit
cloth and yak lace, had very novel
collar formed of lace, cut in wide turn
down style, not unlike last winters
Aiglon.
From this sprung high straight
standing collar of lace, so bestudded
with rhinestone roses with topaz CEN
ters as to have almost the appearance
of a jeweled collarette. / did not care
particularly for the effect.
There were a few velvet gowns on
view, notably one resembling gun
metal as nearly as anything in color
ing. being of that odd grayish black.
1t was very handsome and stylish.
have little doubt that velvets will be
much worn this season. though per-
haps not with the same partiality ac-
corded them last year.
An elderly matron in a brown cordu-
roy looked well. as the soft color set OF
her snow hair admirably. The gown
had a plain long skirt. and fitted
coat outlined about the edges with
silk cord of the thickness of ones lit
tie finger.
1t had cuffs of the gauntlet style.
and a deep lay-down collar.
The front fastenings were a species
of frogs made of the cord and applied
in a double row not too close together.
At the clubhouse any number of
beautiful gowns were in evidence. par
ticularly in the evening. Probably the
most striking was one of white Ciuny
lace over black. white-fgured net. The
skirt was plain. with the exception of a
deep fiounce of the net headed by four
or five tiny net Quillings intertwined
with white at the top and bottom.
The courier., 1902-10-18

These dots are quite as large as or
larger than q dime.
1t goes without saying they are not
intended to be worn over the face, but
merely to be draped about the hat.
A millinery novelty Is a wide hat
with cocks feathers put on its brim
after the manner Of ostrich plumes.
A costume of deep orange shading
to cream white, through masses Of
billowy drapery and fiounces innumer-
able, now on view at one of the
theatres, is a theme for comment
among the modistes.
This wonderful creation almost beg
gars description, but its salient feat
ures. which make 1t unQuestionably
marvel Of workmanship. are the enor-
nous flowers on skirt and bodice.
These stand out from the gown, petal
by petal, fully two or three inches,
and the effect, with the rich shades
employed. is little short of gorgeous.
A gray satin 1 saw the other day,
man Of fifty, bore the Worth stamp
and had somewhat the same sort of
work on it.
The flowers were simpler, and did not
stand out so far, but they were ef-
fective nevertheless.
This gown showed some spangles
here and there, as do many of the
seasons novelties and best models.
Used with discretion, spangles do add
to the general harmony.
Completely spangled toilettes, how
ever, such as were the rage some sea-
sons ago, are never seen now, save
occasionally on the stage, worn by
some minor character.
A charming street costume of black
tweed, seen last week at a matinee,
was noticeable for its simplicity.
The skirt was of the new triplicate
sort, especially adapted to slender
women, to whom they are most be-
coming.
The coat was an Eaton, with a little
pale blue cloth piping visible at the
cuffs and down the front.
A black hat, fiat and broad, made of
velvet, was worn with the gown. A
big. pale blue satin bow trimmed it
in the back, and about its brim was
laid carelessly a wreath of pink roses
of the smallest double variety.-Lady
