Yellow and black, as a brilliant com

voluminous capes.

NEW YORK, March 2l.--The Amer
lean merchants and dressmakers think
that large segment of our people are
weary of Jersey cloth, except for rough
usage in the country
In France the feeling is different
They have put Jersey cloth on plane
with serge and gabardine and they

An Expensive Fabric.
At the present writing, there is not
widespread tendency to use silk jer-
sty, because the good sense OF the
American woman tells her that the
prices demanded for gowns OF this
fabric are far too exorbitant for the
social opportunities afforded by it.
After all is said and done, Jersey cloth.

and expensive, is only fit for sport

good looking sport suits OF wooden jer-
sey combined with cretonne, which is

.STRONC EARLY IN DAY
Oats, Despite Big Export
Purchases, Follows Lead
Set by Corn.
STRONG EARLY IN DAY

Chicago, Sept. 14.--General selling of
corn resulted today on assertions THAT
Germany's peace terms had been
handed to the pope. The market.
which for the most part had been ad-
vancing until the peace talk became
current, turned then sharply down
grade. Closing quotations were heavy.
"a to IA cent lower. Oats finished "
to * cent down. In provisions the out
come ranged from 80 decline to a rise
of 35 cents.
Except during brief time at the
opening. corn showed decided strength
throughout the first half of the ses-
sion. Initial weakness was due to pre-
vailing warmth and sunshine. but fore
casts of conditions adverse to crop
progress led soon to an outburst of
bullish sentiment, which was increased
by numerous reports that damage from
frost had been greater than the trade
as a rule has heretofore believed. It
happened thus that the market was in
a position for liberal profit taking by
holders when peace gossip began to
circulate.
Export purchases amounting OF $780,
900 bushels failed to prevent oats from
sagsing with corn in the late trading.
Supplies of wheat gained little In
volume. but not sufficiently so to over
take the demand. Latest estimates of
the spring crop in the Dakotas and
Minnesota put the aggregate at 6.00O,-
