BIDS le FOR AUGUST.
New Orleans Bull Leader offers to
 Buy 20, 900 Bales.

New Orleans, May 26.--W. P. Brown, the local bull leader in the cotton market, who has just returned from a visit to New York, this morning bid August up to 12c at the opening of the market. This was an advance of q points above the closing of yesterday.
 He offered to take everything ail the way from 11.79, the closing figures of yes terday, to 12c. When that mark was reached he bid for 10000 bales, but not a single contract for even 10 bales was fired at him.
 All months took on substantial gains but August went higher than other op- tions and established new record for the season.
 Advances were based on favorable Liv- erpool cables and unfavorable crop re- ports, together with the general expec- tation that he weekly report issued by the Department of Agriculture at Il o'clock this morning would be decidedly bullish. The bidding Of the long side for large amounts of cotton naturally boosted prices also.

silk work-alI are IN vogue. IT matters
little whether the stftchery is coarse or
fine, whether il recalls the Bayeux tap
estry OF the fine roses Of CHA which
look as if they were painted They
copy natures work. but they do not
follow nature faithfully IN the east.
Birds and flowers alike are convention
allied, and rules Of drawing are ig-
nored. Fashions come and go, but
these embroideries are always in vogue
and have been for centuries. They are
so thoroughly and well wrought that
they do not deteriorate. Until the last
few years Chinese embroidery had been
employed as household furnishings
rather than on dress, but we are now
placing it on effective backgrounds
and using it for entire robes and for
evening cloaks.
For these effects think there is no
groundwork like black crepe de chine.
The long. loose stitched work in white
now so much in vogue is devoted prin-
cipalIy to cloth materials. We are US
Ing medallions OF embroidery on any
fabrics. and we are Frightening up cur

vests worked IN colored silk.

always before US. An acceptable nov

bodice as to form achus- White satin
empire gowns are in favor for attend
ants, and the guests are wearing q
great deal Of velvet covered with lace.
These gowns often have slashings Of
satin about the sleeves and bodice after
the Tudor style.
A fad for lace which matches the
gown in color is one OF the eccentricS-
ties of the hour hardly think IL q
pretty idea; still some Of the heavy
yak laces take to the dye very success
fully Another ''faddy' idea Is that
the frock must match ones mood Our
notions OF moods are so varied that
black for the dumps and red when one
is feeling particularly gay are the only
general rule for a guide.
Simple little tricks Of the needle con-
tinue to play a very pretty part in

stead Of a lace yoke a crepe de chine

twirled into all kinds Of decorative
ideas.

Isn't this general power conferred
