COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August 9.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at decline
of I to . points in sympathy with lower
Liverpool cables and inside of the first
half hour sold off to a net loss of from
II to IS points. with all the active months
making new low ground for the move
ment under continued liquidation and
stop loss orders. There was considerable
realizing by recent sellers on the decline
and there was more talk of reaction
around the ring than yesterday, but
weather conditions were considered fav-
orable and the market ruled within Z or
points of the lowest during the middle
of the morning.
RumOrs that certain large trade inter-
ests had sent out messages late yester-
day advising sales of cotton. the appear
ance of selling orders in the hands of
some of the prominent spot brokers and
continued liquidation caused further big
break in the market during the later

Honey is excellent in nearly all

NEWEST COLOR IN VELVET
Peculiar Shade of Green Is Called
"Absinthe" by Those Who Have
Designed II.

A peculiar greenish yellow shade,
not olive and not tan, is now much
fancied for formal afternoon frocks
for bridge, reception or luncheon
wear. A costume OF this sort has just
been finished for a bride of the month.
Absinthe chiffon velvet is the mate
rial and the suit includes a graceful
draped skirt and the most coquettish
of coats, short enough at the front to
reveal the black satin draped girdle
but falling at theNback in long tails
to the knee. These tails slope grad
ually from the double-breasted front
and give the coat a graceful cutaway
effect, viewed from the side. Enor-
nous revers of the velvet are gath
cred at the top into turnover Robes
pierre collar of black velvet and
hang to the waistline over the coat
front. The revers and collar open In
a deep v.
The skirt has wide front and
back panels hanging perfectly
straight, the sides being caught up
below the hips into a soft transverse
drapery. To match this absinthe vel
vet costume there are patent leather
boots with buttoned tops OF pale tan
cloth and very curved French heels,
and a hat OF cream white MORE silk
banded with mink and having one
green and one gold quill.

burnt orange appears. 1t is already
being exploited largely in Paris. and
with It also sulphur and amber. In
addition there are chartreuse, the love
ly limpid yellow of the cordial; flame
yellow, whose intensity makes 1t be-
coming only to certain compilations,
and canary. another vivid hue. Brown
in every graduation is raised to a
pinnacle OF modishness, and cigar

Tea Gown Reminders.

The lowered silks can be utilized
with great charm for making the neg
ligee, but care should be taken to pro-
cure those that do not crush.
Charmeuse, crepe de chine, or wolfe
of plain and delicate coloring is a
satisfactory choice. Two or even
three materials msy be blended in
one toilette.
Then there is chiffon to remember.
One delightful model is made of rose
petal pink chiffon over a loose under
robe OF silk of the same tone. The
robe is quite without trimming. save
for tiny fiowerets made OF tho chiffon
bordering the turned back fronts OF
the outer dress, which looks very
much like coat with train.

convinced to the contrary by reading the
following figures from a report of the

being 500, against 495.
The woman grocer was the least success

the number of failures as criterion; the

the woman draper and haberdasher, and,

In reply to an article in ''When to
Read" it can be said that muscular
work reduces the power of the brain.
When the food is being digested the organs
conducting this work need blood. The
blood therefore leaves the brain and flows
away to assist the stomach and intestines.
If, nevertheless, the brain is put to hard
reading, the blood will be drawn away to
the brain. Poor digestion and difficult
reading must certainly result. "You can't
