That's the present slrtorial question.
The Spanish flavor in our dressing. the
quaint 'befo the war" touches Of tho
hoops and crinoline have called forth
from layers of tissue paper and old Law
ender those graceful fringed Squares
that wrapped our grandmothers in
cashmere and romance.
There are exquisite gossamer lace
shawls, black or white, for wear with
tue fluffy ruffles of our summer organ
dies! lovely pastel tinted crepe shawla
with deep silk fringe, as well as tho
heavily embroidered crepe shawls OF
Chinese origin.
Of course the exotic beauties of the
brilliantly embroidered Spanish shawls
are in great demand by all that contin
gent Of stunning brunettes who effect
long dropping earrings and langourous
/ glances.
Even the maid of sports has fllloa
for the shawl in the shape OF the warm
merino plaidie Of old Scotland.
There is such fad for cunning little
capes that it is indeed a determined
and square set Of feminine shoulders
that can escape their lure.
Tatteta seems the favOrite medium
for these fascinating frivolities and
most Of the capes are ruffled. They
are all ridiculOusly short and incon.
sequential and therefore coquettish.

with a knot and long dangling ends OF

Another contrasting type is a plain

reveals the rose lining.
Then there are the quaint little silk

With summer frocks they are irresis

Another little basque like sacme OF

Long coats Of faille beted in at tho

To still be chic, escape q cape

Her brow is mantled with a blush

INDUSTRY TOO BUSY

Bradstreet Says Holiday at Many Points Was Rec
 ord Breaker

New York. December 31-Rrad- street tomorrow will say: While wholesale. traders have experienced comparatively quiet week, due to the taking of inventories. the seasonal pause Is less marked than in other years and in some instances orders continue to come out in a way that hampers stock taking. On the other hand, industry, too busy to take ac- count of holidays. proceeds to higher ground Holiday trade at many points was of record proportions; orders all ready booked for spring delivery are heavy. stocks in the hands of final distributions are exceptionally low, and hopes of an early ending of the European war having well nigh van ished, the consensus of opinion is that goods will have to be bought here on an increased scale and higher prices. not only by our own people but by foreign consumers as well. To the foregoing budget of favorable tidings must be added the fact that mail or der houses report record trade, that iobbers have received relatively large filling-in orders at q period of the year that usually affords respite from previous activities

COTTON ADVANCES
 ON BETTER DEMAND
Cotton Prices Go Up on In- proved Export Demand.
 Market Steady

New York December 91.-The contin- ued steadiness of Liverpool and renewed talk of an improving export demand en- couraged an early advance in the cotton market today, with March contracts sell ing up to 1252c or IA points above last nights closing figures. Business became very quiet later, and prices eased off under scattered realizing for over the New Years adjournment, with March closing at 12.4Sc. The general list closed steady at a net advance of to B points for the day.
 Additional January notices amounting to about 900 bales were reported in cir culation at the opening, but caused very little liquidation and prices started at an advance of to points in response to the higher cables. Houses with Liv- erpool connections were sellers of the late months but were active buyers of near positions, while there was considerable scattered covering and a moderate de- mand from spot houses was attributed to covering of hedges against sales of cot ton in the south for export. The advance carried January contracts up to 12.24c, A1dy to ll.f0C ana July 10 E.S9c DeGOre the end of the morning or about IA points above last nights closing figures and practically $2 a bale above the recent low level. After the close of Liverpool the demand tapered off and prices reacted some or 8 points from the best under profit taking, but offerings were re- stricted by reports of better spot busi- ness in the south and the undertone was generally steady. Closing prices were within 4 or points of the best on most positions. better feeling with reference to the Ancona situation also contributed to the early advance and the trade seemed to be looking for rather more bullish weekend figures

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Holiday Conditions Affect Trade, But Market Was
 Steady Throughout

New York, December 31.-The cot ton market has been quiet during the past week as usual between the holi- days but has shown generally steady undertone owing to, the continued ab- sence of pressure from spot offerings and talk of an improving export de- mand
 The daily circulation of January mo- tices, amounting in all to about 19,000 bales, has caused some irregularity, but near month offerings have been read fly absorbed by spot people or buying for foreign account, while there has been considerable scattered covering on the advance of about S2 per bale from the recent low level
 Reports of a better business in cot ton goods at Manchester have tended to emphasize the diminishing stocks of raw material abroad and the relative ly firm ruling of the Liverpool mar ket has been taken by local bulls as reflecting an increasing need of at tracing additional supplies.
 The scarcity of freight room is still evidenced in the firmness of ocean freight rates and mail advices from Liv- erpool bring many complaints regard ing the cost and difficulty of importa- tion. The improvement in the rate of sterling exchange has been consid- cred in favor of the foreign buying however, and for the past day or two reports from the south have shown some improvement in the demand for export, particularly in' the southwest. Some traders here, indeed, think that as the scarcity of raw materials be- comes more pronounced abroad, the British government may take meas ures to afford more liberal facilities for transportation.
 Cables received during the week from Alexandria report a tendency to re- duce estimates of the Egyptian crop to about 4,50O,000 cantars, and the latest private estimates of the Indian yield place it at 5,7S0,000 bales, in cluding the carry over and home con- sumption, which also shows slight reduction from earlier season figures.

WAVE OF SELLING
 SENDSPR|CES DOWN
Wheat Market Takes Sharp Setback After High Level
 for 1915 Crop

Chicago, December 31.-Y ear-end Hduida- tion, which found the market without SUD- port, brought about a sharp setback in the value of wheat today, after prices had touched new high level for the 1915 crop. The close was unsettled at 1Ac to 412c net decline with May at s1 25asM1 .251a and July at s1.172s Other speculative articles, too, showed losses for the day Corn, 9sd94c to 214c off; oats Ac to 3sc, and provisions 21ac to 221bc
 It was not until the final hour of trad ing that wheat began tv break in earnest At that time a wave of selling from be- lated December longs came over the mar ket and forced into action a number of stop-loss orders. Fears of heavy deliv- cries on track had considerable to do with emphasizing the weakness The ap- prehension was not altogether without reason, as the deliveries for the day amounted to fully 100000 bushels. Total absence of export sales tended also to discourage holders near the end of the session, the strength of the market in the earlier transa actions having been based largely on higher quotations at Liver pool and on reports of an urgent de- mand there from millers.
 Extensive profit taking by longs in wheat preceded the break, which plunged the market decisively down grade in the afternoon. The persistence of the real izng ultimately filled up buyers, espe- cially shorts, who seemed to be much more wary than usual regarding the pos- sibility of a last-minute December squeeze.
 Corn weakened when wheat underwent a severe tumble At first, however, the rl<pt cbOwnl Strnnotb OyynU to nm settled warmer weather and to firmness at Liverpool.
 Oats had an independent advance the result of a broadening of commission de- mand. In the end, though, the market gave way with other cereals.
 Selling by packers more than offset in the provision pit the effect of higher prices on hogs. Besides the outlook was for lib- eral arrival of hogs next week.
 Euture uuotatiOnS Were as follows.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR
 LOVERS OF TURKEY
Birds Are Scarce on Morris Avenue, But Nice Rabbits
 Are Now Plentiful

Quotations on Morris avenue remain unchanged since Friday evening, with the exception of Irish potatoes, which have taken another jump of Dc and are quoted at $1.25
 All dealers report business little off except the poultry market, which is good, and very few shipments are being re- ceived. Dealers are behind with their turkey orders, and are unable to get them. The Alabama supply has been completely cleaned up. The Tennessee market is running short, and Missouri IS too far away. So that the outlook IS gloomy for turkey lovers
 There are plenty of nice rabbits on the market and fairly cheap.
 Florida tomatoes are beginning to ar rive on Morris avenue
 The fish and oyster business was little slow yesterday due probably to the rainy day. The supply in this line is sufficient for all needs.
 Fruit and produce dealers report a rather dull day. but look for better busi- ness today.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. December 31.-(Special.) ) Liverpool was very strong this morn- ing, selling at the highest prices of the season. Our market opened higher in response to these advices, and mod crate amount of buying for Liverpool ac- count. The south was a fair seller on a basis of 12a4c for May, which is not sur prising, as there must be a certain amount of cotton for sale on each advance. This selling, however caused a decline, the market ruling steady, but quiet in the early afternoon. Advices from the south report rather a better inquiry in spots in Liverpool, although there does not ap- gear to be any easing in the freight situation as yet. It is probable the mar ket would respond easily to any improve ment in the export situation. Local sem timent was favorably affected by the lat est reports, which would seem to indicate that the Ancona crisis was passing.
 We wish you all the compliments of the season and a very prosperous new year.
