REACHED VERY HIGHEST POINT
Futures at Top Notch Point Since

Seven and three-quarter cents was
the fancy price Americas buyers would
have ia for fancy cotton yesterday,
and all because the bears sup narth'
have turned to bulls for few days
and hoisted the market in order to I'M
load the enormous stocks of futures
they bought at the bottom notch last
week. When this IS done and the
tleecing finished they will sell short on
an equal amount of cotton. turn bears
again and force values down, thus
catching the suckers going and com.
ing. But for a moment, anyway, the
value of cotton has gone to as high
point as reached since Christmas, and
those who wish to sell now have the
chance to unload.

The color note is pretty strong in the
newest gowns. The new blues will
continue popular, aud the gamut OF
pink ranges from tender mauve to deep
American Beauty tints. The wood
browns are to be used for tailored
gowns, also the Autumn leaf tints for
gowns, wraps and hats. This wealth
of color is matched in the splendor OF
the materials now fashionable.
With reference to the lines of the
new fashions, breadth OF shoulder, q
rounded bust, tapering waist-line and
ripping skirt that fits the upper part
OF the body like glove, are the prin-
cipal features. Failure to meet these
requirements will ruin the effect of
the richest gown. The most notable
change in line is seen in the transition
from Directoire to Empire styles, This
change is chiefly evident in wraps, in
tea and house gowns, and in the fasci-
mating coates and bridge-coats that
are rapidly coming into vogue. Many
of these smart coats are of lace, black

Developments in the New York in

"The contributions by the officers Of

speak for other commissioners but I
believe their views coincide with mine.
ANY company doing business in this
state, whose officers have contributed
any money from its assets for political

contributed money from its funds for
any other purposes not consistent with
proper use ON the behalf OF the policy
holders must see to it that restitution
