There has been . great deal OF ex-I
per1msnting on the part Of the big
designers OF Eownssand hats In Paris
to stop the ction Of theirSmod-
els ~ the Wholesale in the shops.
They think NOV that fabric hats viii
protect them to some extent. For
they make hats Of taf1eta Or other
fabrics IN their own workrooms. to
the measure Of their customer heads;
and hence these hats are not seen
until they are worn BY their owner.
The habit has always been to have
straw hats made up and on exhibition.
but the fabric hats. matching the.
gown with which they are worn in
material, are made to order.

Iar Bond 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.


New York, Jan. 24.-The cotton mar
ket during the past week has main
tanned a good undertone with some APP
probation in prices, but without note
worthy activity. The demand for spot
cotton throughout the south has been
generally good and exceptionally SO in
some instances. Large port receipts
reflect, however, exports and full jan
uary commitments. Consumption
keeps well upto expectations, although
there are a few remote mentions Of re-
duced working hours per week AS Il
consequence of the heavy rains which
lasted for some time toward the close
| of the picking season, there are com
plants of inferior seed and unsatisfaC-
tory yields are expected to result from
present paintings. Today's census re-
port adding two hundred and thirty
six thousand bales ginned during the
last period and making the aggregate
thirteen million, five hundred and eigh-
ty-nine thousand bales, exceeded ex-
pectations and is regarded as pointing
to a final outturn of fourteen and one
half million bales. The conservative
tone of the presidents message to
congress has promoted more optimistic
trade views, and with the worldwide
cheapening Of money, industrial growth
| is expected to ensue.
