Gold Touches
On White.
Further investigation of Washing
ton stores as they swing into sum-
mer has uncovered what are, to us
some mighty interesting fashion
hints. For instance, the use of gold
color trimming on white dresses
promises to be one of the outstand-
ing features of hot weather styles.
Gold belts, buttons and other
touches are being displayed on day
and evening models, especially on
rayon jersey This still remains one
of our favorite fabrics for any time
of the year, but it's particularly
good in summer. Silky and cool,
-crushable and always smart
looking, it's hard to beat, especially
for our notorious climate.

can't imagine where they are hid

hair of one being used anywhere
It may be, and probably is, that
they are being reserved for resort
wear, but We hope to see some used
as protection on the street soon
They should be mighty helpful in
avoiding sunburn.
Costume Jewelry
Is Excellent.
To our mind, costume jewelry has
never been better than it is this sea
son. Lapel gadgets, bracelets and
rings seem to show a new original
ity and a certain discretion. steer
ing firmly away from the "junky'
side. And speaking of rings, last
year we wandered all over town
looking for huge, and we're not
kidding about that word, rings OF
the costume type. We wanted a
large square-cut stone such as we
had seen on several of our New York
friends. At that time the enormous
rings were not available anywhere
but the other day we discovered
them here in town and they are
really wonderful Great emerald
colored stones or those in the lovely
acquamarine shade are featured and
not too expensively, considering
their quality. If your hands are
nice, nails long and we'll groomed
and you'd like to call attention to
them. here is the way. These rings
are extremely f1attering to most
hands and considered very smart

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 29.-P-Vari.
able weather conditions continued
to disturb the wheat market today
but prices closed fractionally lower
due to improved moisture condi-
tons where soft winter and spring
wheat are grown
March winds kicked up clouds Of
dust in the hard winter wheat belt
southwest, attesting to dry soil
conditions. but this caused only
temporary price rallies interrupting
the general downward trend. Mois-
ture which fell in the spring wheat
area, where planting will begin
soon, and in the soft winter wheat
zone from Missouri eastward along
the Ohio valley, attracted most at.
tention. Subsoil moisture reserves
have been low in many portions of
the northwest. Rains also We're re.
ported in Nebraska and northern
Kansas.
After being 1888 cent higher
early in the season, wheat fell 1 1-8

ed 1854 lower than yesterday,
with May $1.O4 1-4-3-S, July $1.02.
1913. Corn was 1888 off,
May Sc 1-2-5-8; July 81 3-8; oats
1888 down; rye Isl IA lower
and lard $40 lower.
Hedging Of wheat coming into
commercial channels from storage,
where it has been under loan, also
added to the selling. The primary
markets received 1,077,0OO bushels
compared with 936, 900 yesterday
and 5O7, 900 a year ago. Spot prices
here were 3-4-1 cent lower, with
the No. 2 hard quoted at s1.06 -.
Spreading operations between here
and Minneapolis at about 5 cents
difference on May contracts con
tinued to depress the market.
Spreading was attributed to north
west interests who could move
wheat to Chicago by lake if nee
essary. Winnipeg prices were off
as much ss 1 3-8 cents at time,
with selling attributed partly to
tightening of exchange restrictions.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, March 29.-Q-
Continuing its wide gyrations, the
open'market quotation for the Brit
ish pound sterling slumped today
and closed down Z cents at 1888.
The slide wiped out much Of the
previous recovery.
The French franc sagged- with
the pound, ending off .04 of a
cent. Other exchanges, including
Swiss francs and Netherlands gull
ders, stayed in a narrow course.
Dealers said selling in the free"
sterling market again was done
partly on the assumption British
wartime policy might call for a
further widening Of the disparity
with the official quotation as a
means of stimulating Allied exports
in the world markets.
The open-market rate for the
pound was about so cents under
the official rate. Bankers said this
in effect would act as a Subsidy"
for those British exports which may
be paid for at the open-market
rather than the fixed official ex.
change rate.
