I trimmed with the heavy embroidered
| flowers.
Nothing short Of a great assemblage
OF fashionable folk could drive the
modistes to the desperation of reviving
satin gowns for the sake of novelty.
Yet some very delightful models are
on exhibition for the horse show. A
lustrous black satin costume shows the
skirt embroidered in fuschias, with the
same floral decoration repeated on the
bodice. Bands varying in width from
five inches to one are appliqued upon
the skirt from belt to hem and the
white mousseline yoke of the waist is
bordered with the trimming The
sleeves are of black chantilly falling
gracefully from the shoulders after the
angel pattern. Underneath is another
sleeve of the satin gathered into a cuff
of lace and embroidery.
Some very handsome black gowns
with small hats in the most DELICATE
colors are worn, pink, blue, pale green
and mauve constituting particularly
charming color schemes. With a black
point d'esprit over pale rose satin
there comes an evening hat which is a
compromise between a turban and a
toque. 1t is made of pale pink silk
chenille and has the upturned brim
faced with folds of chiffon No other
trimming than an osprey adorns it.
The task of duplicating such design
would be comparatively easy because
almost any one could put the osprey in
place: or a rosette of velvet or silk
pompon could be used instead for the
sake of economy.
Osiria is the name of one of the new
shades of green; it is most effective
associated with black and in satin
faced cloth makes a handsome gown.
The skirt has hip-yoke trimmed with
narrow black satin braid, Below this
there are several applied tucks of the
cloth piped with the same braid only
tiny white threads are wound through
the braid.
The Jacket is neither long or short
and fits the figure very snugly. Around
the shoulders there is a cape draped in
crossed-over effect which lends height
to the figure. There is only one way
of accomplishing this effect gracefully.
however. and that is to see that the
capes meet just above the girdle,
White will be very much in evidence
at the horse show ana every fabric
from the handsome French Examines
for afternoon to chiffons and the dia-
phanous weaves for evening will be
seen. With these gowns the most ex-
quisite furs and neckwear will be worn.
Out of compliment to the exhibition
the chrysanthemum, which IL the off,
cial flower, appears in many different
guises.
marvellous white chiffon boa is
composed of myriad fuffies edged with
immense yellow silk chryanthemums
all hand embroidered. The flowers are
given a bountiful coloring by the ad-
dition of pale pink-white centers.
A Pelerine and muff made of white
eiderdown and ermine are decorated
with wonderful chrysanthemums of
crimson chiffon. Such vagaries, where
one can afford to indulge them can be
considered more than sentimental. for

four sides are being erected four large
buildings copied after the most i'm
portant public buildings in Manila.
The Filipinos have begun the erec-
ton of their native villages The con-
struction of these villages is proving
a great attraction to visitors. No nails
are used in the construction. The bam-
boo poles, which range in length from
forty to ninety feet, furnish the tim
bers. These are tied together with
bepuco the fibre of rattan. Nipa forms
the roof Nipa is produced from the
leaves of a palm peculiar to the Phil
ippine islands. The floors are bamboo,
split into small sections, and so tied to
the cross sections that they form a
smooth surface Work has already be-
gun on the Moro, Visayan, Luzon and
Igorrote villages. The Moro village
will be built on the western shores of
Laguna de Bay and many of the build
ings will be over the waters of the
lake on wooden uprights and will be
accessible only by boat.

ished This is in the extreme western
section of the tract and will be used
for the present for storing exhibits and
for dormitores for the native workmen.
The building is steam heated and pro-
Vides comfortable quarters for the peo-
pie from a tropical climate Rooms
will also be provided for the storage of
perishable exhibits.
The bamboo poles. as they appear on
the cars, are dirty and weatherstained.
When they are converted into houses
by the natives they are scraped with
bolo blades and lacquered They take
on a fine polish and the buildings are
very attractive.
The agricultural and forestry build
ings in the Philippine section are being
erected by the American and Filipino
workmen together. Americans build
the frame work and the Filipinos will
cover it with bamboo and nipa.
The entire forty acres are being laid
out with spacious driveways connect
ing all points of interest There will be
market places, churches, theaters and
a full exposition of Filipino life, with
more than 1000 native Filipinos par
ticipating.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
BY MAUD GRIFFIN

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Fashions for
the horse show were never so beauti-
full as they are this year. Smart cou-
turieres have employed every possible
detail of dress for this wonderful ex-
hibition of Beauty and the Beast" to
enhance the loveliness of my lady's
toilettes
Velvet gowns will be in the ascend
ency with rich russell brown and the
new shade of bluet vieing for popular
approval. Both have their advantages,
with the sole possible disadvantage of
being trying to certain compilations,
and it is the smart thing to have a
touch of white in the trimming no mat
ter what other tints are used in the
decoration.
From a fashionable standpoint the
horse show will be distinctly Ameri-
can affair for few of the tolettes worn
by society women will be of foreign
design. A handsome gown designed
for an American heiress soon to marry
titled foreigner is developed in russell
brown velvet and lined throughout with
white satin. The skirt has seven cores
with plaits at the back. At each seam
there are inset pieces of brown peau
de sole decorated with handsome en-
hroidery and heading the seams are
three short straps fastened with but
tons.
The coat is a half-long close fitting
affair, with gathered skirt piece,
trimmed with satin braid in scroll de-
sign, 1t opens over a yoke-piece of
embroidered white cloth so skilfully
decorated that only a bit of the white
is visible here and there.
The sleeves are of the bishop pattern
with cuffs of the white cloth lined with
white satin and edged with a tiny
brown silk cord.
A smooth silk beaver hat trimmed
with a white bird artistically wound
about with rich brown satin ribbon
completes the costume.
Another frock in this fortunate young
woman's wardrobe which your CORE
spondent was privileged to see Is made
of blue velvet. panne instead of silk
shows the seams overlapping each
other and rounded away at the bottom
not unlike a tunic effect. From the
lower edge of the hem almost to the
knees the seams are trimmed with dark
greenish blue enametled buttons to ac-
centuate the rounded away idea. There
is not a suggestion of fulness about
the hips and a row of buttons smaller
than those used on the bottom of the
skirt running around the hips might
prove foundation for the assertion that
the lower part of the skirt consisted of
a deep fiounce buttoned to hip-yoke
fthe same material The opening.
however. is accomplished invisible at
the left side.
The bodice is of bluet satin tucked
all over. A low-cut bolero of panne
velvet laid in box plaits is draped over
the bodice TO fall to the top If a high
girdle of crush velvet.
Finishing the bolero is a deep hand
kerchief collar of the velvet embroid-
cred in very heavy greenish white
chrysanthemums with pale pink CEN
tiers.
The sleeves are plated at the Shout
ders, but below the elbows the plaits
are allowed to fall unconfined into a
rather square puff until within four or
gathered again into close fitting cuff

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE prevailing
sentiment in Wall street to-day was
much more composed than for many
days The reassuring effect of the
greater stability for prices established
by yesterdays measures of support
were seeen in the announcement ex-
pressed in various quarters that pro-
lection for the market against demer-
alization would be forthcoming
There was a feeling that the worst
of the liquidation may be regarded as
completed and that the absorptive
power of the market may be expected
to increase after a period OF resistance
to further decline, the dread of which
is obviously keeping many purchasers
out of the market. 1t is believed that
there has been an important absorb
ton of stocks already by capitalists
Of large means who pursue the policy
of buying at intervals on scale down
of those stocks of whose value they
are satisfied.
There We're a number of small trans
actions, or those i'm "odd lots mean
ing less than one hundred shares,
which rs the unit for the official quo
tations on the Stock Exchange. This
buying in lots Of ten to fifty shares
was attributed to small investment
buying, and was well distributed
amongst dividend paying stocks. This
is a Class OF business that SIQck COM
mission houses give small heed to in
times Of ordinary strength In the mar
ket But the sentimental effect at
present is considera BILE, owing TO the
influences to be drawn of a disposition
TO take up these stocks and hold them.
Some of the industrials on which the
rate Of return is inviting, shared in
this kind Of demand.
When prices started upwards there
was pressure developed to sell which
was attributed to those who bought
stocks yesterday for purposes of sup
port and who had no desire 10 hold
them. But the downward movements
faied to awaken the kind Of nervous
ness that has been the rule for some
time past and they served to demon
strate the existence Of buying orders
below the market which served as a
prop. The increase in the dividend rate
on Canadian Pacific was shown In the

New York, Aug. 11.--Cables were up
when opened The early weather
news was satisfactory showing as it
did more or less rain in all sections
of the belt. There was some anxiety as
to the character Of the bureau re-
port to be issued at noon. The leader
of the bull pool was publicly announce
ing that half their holdings had been
disposed of and that spinners were
buying at full prices. Reports of an
improved crop outlook were coming in
from all sections, but these failed to
influence opinion to any great extent.
Everything now depends on the Sep
TENDER and October movement of new

The future market was very quiet,

steadiness was chiefly due to the

offset by the storm warnings sent out
last night, and this morning, which
said that a hurricane was moving
northward from the Caribbean sea,

New York, Aug. 11.-Our market
opened with sales of January at $3.50,
closed 972c, and after selling at $3.50
9.74c, ruled at SHE at p. m. In both
Liverpool and New York the strength
in the nearby deliveries was the fea-
ture, showing the effect Of the strong
statistical position in Liverpool and of
the concentrated holdings here. Our
stock is larger than on July l, though
considerable cotton must have been
sold since that time. Arbtrage buying
of winter deliveries against sales in
Liverpool again gave those positions
their strength.
Crop reports are good the best re-
ceived at this time of the year in
many seasons. Traders generally look
for rather better market on the pros
peetive light movement next month,
and the strength of the immediate po-
sition In Liverpool With this view,
the offerings are light and a further

NAVAL STORES.

Tuesday. Aug. IL,
SPIRITS.-The turpentine market
was again strong and active with a
rising tendency After the closing 1ac
advance was paid on the official price
so that the market when business
closed was sic. The opening was
firm at Soc sales 495 casks, and the
closing firm at 5014 @5O14c, sales 105
casks.
A policy with the farseeing factor
is to swing on to at least part of the
days receipts until after the official
closing. It's lucky to have a nest egg
the way the after-closing market has
been going for some time past.
The Savannah market has seldom
been more active than it has the past
few days. There has been sharp
competition. Operators might we'll
feel pleased that the consuming trade
are scrambling here for all the offer
ingS of turpentine. The cause of this
demand is not entirely puzzling. For
some days factors have been applying
the fact that several have been doing
this has withdrawn considerable stuff
from the market and to that extent
lessened the supply. While the de-
mand from some sources was of course
partially satisfied by the filling of
contracts most exporters were kept on
the go to obtain supplies, which caused
the bouyancy that carried the price
up. Receipts 974 casks, exports none.
ROSINS.-Savannah has offered an
excellent market for rosins of late,
and the demand has continued entirely
sufficient to absorb the offerings. The
usual after-closing advance came,
which was participated in by opera
tors with stuff Offering locally. After
the close 10c advance was paid on H

improving for the better grades. To-
