NEW YORK COTTON, March 1.-THE cotton

points on the old crop months while the new
crop was 10 points higher to points lower
These gains were not a full response to the
frmer cables, and almost at once the market

apparently the liquidation of outside long &C.
counts that had failed to- respond to overnight
calls for margins, started downward, attracting
a renewal of bear pressure on the way, with
the result that inside of fifteen minutes not only
had the initial gains been lost; but the active
months showed net declines Of about points
with May around 15.63c and July Is ESQ., The
decline was promoted by the heavier estimates
for the days port receipts and reports of rains
in portions Of the western belt which were also
responsible for the weakness Of the new crop
months in the Liverpool market. :
At midday the market was steadier tho nef

sketches, should prove specially USE
full to Mademoiselle, since they repre-
sent some of the newest and prettiest
modes Of the moment, while at the
same time their perfect simplicity and
gracefulness of outline help to make
them eminently suitable for young
girls to wear. The blouse on the left
side of our picture is made in that
pretty cross-0ver style which has hap
PLY come back again into fashion this
year, and which is one of the most be-
coming shapes imaginable for slim fig
ures. The material suggested for the
making of this blouse is one of those
dainty floral muslins, or mousselines
de pInde, which, by the way, can al
ways be procured in such a wide va
riety of dainty designs. This blouse
would lock charming made in one of
these muslins, with tiny pink rose
buds and green leaves scattered over a
white ground and linked together by
true lovers knots in turquoise blue
A strap of white silk, embroidered in
colors to match the muslin, and edged
on both sides with a narrow frill of
cream Valenciennes lace, outlines the
front of the blouse and appears again
upon the sleeves, which should be fin
ished, by the way, with frill of wider
Valenciennes. Two soft choux of
Louisine silk ribbon give a smart
touch to the front of the blouse at the
waist. They should be carried out in
the color which is most prominent in
the embroidery, while the deep waist
belt might be made in the same kind
Of silk, but in a darker shade.
Exceedingly graceful and pretty
also is that second blouse, which
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1904-04-01

should be made in soft white silk or
oriental satin. The deep biblike ar.

AS far as outdoor costumes are con-

ages than the useful coat and skirt in
serge or tweed, to be worn all the year,

An hour later Francis Jerome was in
decidedly bad temper. He had learned

CHANGING round Mr. Jerome saw that

door was ajar and he caught a glimpse
of dim light within.
The music had glided into a tender
harmony that thrilled the listeners heart
with half-forgotten memory. Pull

Che small audience room was lighted
only by two lamps in the further end.
The elevated platform upon which stood
the pulpit and the organ was heavily
trimmed with evergreen branches and
the wall at the back of the platform was
covered with the same. Outlined against
this dusky greenness were two stands
each holding a magnificent Easter lily,
the blossoms cleaning white and pearly
in the dim light.
Jerome remembered that the morrow
would be Easter. AS he looked there
was the sound of a side door opening,
the music ceased, and the organist rose,
saying:
"Ah, yeu are prompt, little girl"
How beautiful the decorations are."
The newcomer was young girl, and
she went on: care you ready, Miss
