So far the buying of French gowns

American fashions have run, and as

BY the way, there Is remarkable

to be called lake blue, and It may still
go by that name, for II has peculiar
simmer Of white over II like surface

which Is kicked aside as the wearer
walks. There Is round bodice, with
n round decolletage, and two very fiat
pieces that extend below the glrdle on

This Is style that might easily have

usage of fringe Is this: Unevenness.
Fringe on the edges of panels Is so put

or uneven lines. Some of the new

times, even, the fabric Of the frocl it.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August S-The market opened lower this morning, owing to heavy selling orders from Liverpool. which were believed to be hedge sales against purchases from the new crop in the southwest. The local feeling is quite bearish in expectation of just such pres- sure on the market so that the weight of these sales caused quite a severe break. Predictions of clear and warm weather in Texas and the fact that only ifshs showers resulted from the gulf disturb ance, brought slow improvement in prices. so tkat in the early afternoon the market was considerably above last nights closing level. It does not appear that the drouth in the southwest has been relieved and our advices are to the effect that the crop in both Oala- homa and Texas continues to deteriorate. On the other hand, the export situa.
 tion is not improved and 1t is ques tionable whether the price has not discounted. the situation as 1t now ap- pears Until however. the crop is moving in volume. we do not think there will be sufficien: pressure to bring about 4 permanent decline unless indeed Texas has good rains.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
