market gave promise of doing better. but turned
sharp corner at 1910 O'Clock under reports
that three Wall Street houses had suspended
At first the selling was of Il waverlng type with
the room inclined to believe that 1t would not
be seriously effected Then came heavy selling

BILE to sell out ensued.
Prices broke heavily. and there was not a
single halt until July had gone of to SPY. Even
then buyers were slow to come forward, while
every point rally the signal for fresh sell
ing of large proportions. Then came n rally OF
IS points on covering and support for n turn.
followed by another slump to 9.o% for July, I'M
der another wave of heavy liquidation. The
trade was in a semi-demoraized state. and no
concerted action taken to check the fright
of the outside public: whereas the stock market
stiffened up later. the cotton market cntinued in
feverish state throughout the balance of the
morning and during most of the late session.
Near the close the ring influenced TO some
extent by exports of nearly 1000 bales. as COM
pared with port receipts of COCO bales. and a
loss in interior stock of 1000 bales. The final
prices were steady. net sac points lower. Total
sales were close to 100000 bales.

Silver tissue Is employed as q back

The tendency OF the dress designers
is just now to study old pictures and
prints and quaint old fashion books
for fresh inspiration and not only to
burrow in the past, but to explore the
unknown paths Of the present. Orig
inality is SO precious an attribute to
the designer of to-day that he will
even wander into the fer east to get
new ideas in form and color.
A handsome French dress for even
ing wear is made of soft old rose wolfe,
with a finish Like a silk poplin. The
gown is made up with. taffeta silk of
the same shade, and trimmed with
black velvet ribbon, IN five graduated
widths, on the lower portion of the
skirt, and on the bodice there Is a
pretty arrangement of the ribbon, and
draperies ana frills of black lace, show
ing applique designs of silk-embroi-
dered pale and deep old rose flowers
and foliage, set here and there upon
the lace.
