MANY USES FOR QUICKSILVER
semi-Precious Metal, Much in Demand,
Is Becoming Scarce-Sometlmes
Employed as Drug.

Quicksilver is one of the semi-pre-
eiOus metals, and is gradually becom-
Ing scarce. The metal is noted for it's
many uses, besides the familiar one
in the thermometer. It's tendency to
unite with gold into an amalgam
causes its chief use. The mercury is
spread over a copper plate over which
the gold ore is washed. The gold from
its weight comes in contact with the
plate and is promptly amalgamated
with the quicksilver, from which it is
separated by heat.
Quicksilver Is also known for it's
use as a medicine when rubbed to a
fine, glObular powder with rose wa
ter under the name of blue mass.
Among the chemical compounds of
Is bichloride of mercury
made by heating a mixture of mer-
curic sulphate and common salt. This
is sometimes taken as a poison and
results in painful and lengthy suffer
ing and in death. Quicksilver is also
very essential to the manufacture of
high-cl mirrors.

rhe White crepe Erock.

A white crepe silk frock is trimmed
with grosgrain also in white in an
other and attractive manner. Begin
ming with the skirt, which is in every
model the most important point at the
present time, we find interesting ex-
tensions on the skirt at the sides,
which are further supported in the
effort to increase the width by the
apron of the material covering the
entire front of the frock and furnished
with loops of the ribbon extended at
The sides.
The extensions of the material are
merely strips doubled and inset into the
sides of the skirt so that they extend
like fins on the sides. The smartest
of the frocks have no collars, or, at
least, the frocks intended for smart
occasions have no collars, and this
d. ess following this lead has only a
tinv row of the loops about the neck.
Figured materials are among the
most difficult to treat, but some par
ticularly smart little frocks, with real
dash. are seen in reds and blues in
very conventional patterns. That the
patterned material is not combined
with plain probably adds to the smart
ness. Even the ruffies about the neck
and sleeves, fine plaitings of the ma
terial. give the frock distinction.
The material of these particular
frocks is indestrucsible wolfe and the
pattern in white dot, not too large
and set so closely on the ground of
red or blue that there is more white
than color. The skirt is caught up
under, harem fashion, and trimmed
with perpendicular ruffles of the sams

Afternoon Gown for Young Girl,

An afternoon gown that the very
young girl will just dote on is of black

it within mammals approval" for
they give the dress exactly the air OF

apron of the lace falls so that it par

lows the curved line of the apron with
bow here and there.
The sleeves are short, with a deep
ruffle Of the chantilly, and the bodice
is nothing much but wide ruifle of it
about the neck and down the sides of
the front.
Ribbon, as evers one knows, is a
very important item in the list of
trimmings this season, and if not
watched carefully will he apt to get Il

use this form of establishment is seen
on dress of orange-coIored chiffon

New Orleans, May 9.-Fluctuations in

 but the changes were insignificant, July buying on unfavorable conditions Too
 much rain in some eastern sections and not enough in some Texas counties car
 ried the more active months 50 to 15l
 points higher than the close of the pre-

 There was much straddle trading be-
 tween July and october which accounts for the irregularity of the market Dur ing the greater part of the week July
 closing at 3s cents, or the closing price of the preceding week. while later months were IS to fl points up. October closed at 35.6lc
 It was mainly a weather market and
 was sold and October bought by traders who thought the two months were con-
 ing together because of the lack of a spot demand on the one hand and the
 poor new crop prospects on the other Late in the week there was much re- versing of straddles, which had the ten- dency to widen out differences again. Al the highest of the week July traded at 3S. .50c and October at 36.70c, a difference O, considerably under two cents a pound. whereas earlier in the spring the two positions were three cents apart The unfavorable financial snews o Ahs week and increasing complaint of n. satisfactory conditions In the dry G1ds market caused moderate bear pr aMfs ! at times and there was also selli y'- lowing the official weekly crop tl ,rie. which were hardly as bad as e, ssd.
