In-single skirt and the round waist hae -iig been the objects of desire among those ho despised the vanities and vexations of btborate trimmings and furbelows. The :mIe kirt ha some great advantages, it is ra . lrt that it is prettier would be diffi ult to y. tur draperies arc always more r loss graceful and becoming. In "point of er.immy everything is in" favor of the wile skirt, and as this ia conntrv where r. ss distinction is impossible, it certainlv rves the greater; good to the greatest unber. The long fashionable coats are especially ike became they can be adapted to any kin. They really louk well over the plained of "um brella cases" or over the most fur belowed of skirts. In ch oos i ng a jacket one should have retard for the posibleclashingof colors which may ensue if a woman is in the habit of indulging in all the hues of the rain bow as to her robes. It is w ell always to bear in mind that black, brown and J Vjp? I "lue are sure to s M?

A bright vi coat trimmed with black braid may be o treated with a vest of black that the oeiey effect U destroyed, and the coat .ecoeaesa suitable one for street wear. That very important ijuestiou which agi ates all o omen who with to appear very ell dressed wliatever the mode, is ca-ily . tt led when on sees the beautiful fabrics tliictiare set forth to delight the eye of all tehiMere. There is no end of woolens, ilks and cottons even, lrom which to liatne. Tlie wildest cstravacancc or the iiost rigid eeonomy may be practiced jlitt k ie would desire, and no woman need ippear badly dressed when such fabrics arc HXtstble and such modes reigning.

The most charminc of wrappings are among the new importations, all of them picturesque and most of them becoming. For evening wear for the street or for auy purpose one and all modes are elegant and distinguished. There is always an element of picturesqucness from the color which is dominant in everv thing, outer garments as well as gowns and head gear. Half length garments are perhaps less becoming to short figures than to taller ones, but they are very stylish and quite the new mode for alL It rcallr seems as if the era of sensible mothers Had arrived. It is so rare to find a child dressed up so fincthat it cannot enjoy itself! The prettiest and most comlortame dress for a child whether it be a bovor girl, is a plain skirt and a blue blouse. The material for these can be so varied that these simple little suits can be made really cle srant affairs. With children more thai (Zr w ith "rown neonle. the1 chance in clothing1 from summer to win ter is made in the under garments.

Stock ings in diagonal shapes arc worn in place of plain ones. Scraps From the Designers. IJlack stockings still hold their own. Tight laciko is considered very had form. Shoes are "common scnto" to the last de gice. The full cravat still is worn with blue waists. The baby waist is for young girls up to swe.tlfl.

It is cither of ccck' plumes, ostrich feathers or of lace, it docs not mutter which, as it is equally becoming in each material. An oxtra touch of janutiness is given by the bow tied behind the ear both to fasten the ruffand to add dressiness to its effect. ADVKNTUKK Fannin 11.

The Weekly Reviews of Trade by Dradstreet's and R. G. Dan k Co. WESTERN COLLECTIONS BETTER. Bank Clearings Show an Increase Over the Same Month in 1S90. BUSINESS FAILURES SHOW BADLY. fSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE OISrATCII. New York, Oct. 2. Bather less activity in the general lines of distribution than had been expected continue to be reported in special telegrams to Bradxtrcet's, although, particularly at the West and the Northwest, there is a good deal of confidence displayed that the receipt of orders will soon meet all anticipations. Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis and San Francisco report relatively the greatest degree of activity in staple lines. Farmers' sales of produce in Central, Western, Southwestern and Northwestern States arc beginning to show in improved mercantile collections. Funds are not so much in demand in agricultural regions west of the Missouri river as recently, and more money is going South. The greatest degree of activity continues in groceries and provisions, except lard, which is dull, tobacco, with advancing prices, clothing, hats, shoes and hardware. Colder weather will stimulate general trade greatly. THE MARKETS OF COMMODITIES. Textile manufacturing industries at Phil adelphia lack snap, some mills running only a part of their machinery. Lumber sales have improved at Western markets. The demand for leather has improved and prices tend upward. San Jacinto tin fur naces are reported working well, and regu lar shipments thence areanuounced. Fully 25,000,000 feet of Puget Sound lumber has been sold for export to Australia. September bank clearings reflect an im proved tone of business and an enlarged volume of speculation. For the first time this year a month's total clearings show a gain over the corresponding month a vear her were 5,279,193.525, againover last vear of5.Gper cent. New York City's clear ings, owing in part to stock speculation, ex ceedthose of last year bv 7 per cent, while outside of that city the increase ie 3.4 per cent. September's good showing has not materially improved the record for the year. Clearings at 55 cities for nine months ag gregate 40,808,14(1,803, a decrease of nearly 9 per cent from last year. The decrease at New York is 12.7 per cent and outside that city 3.3 per cent. A BAD RECORD OP FAILURES. Bcports to Mradstrectx' of mercantile fail ures throuehout the United States during nine months of the current vear show a total of 8.8GC, against 7,538 in the first nine months of 1890. The aggregate liabilities of failing traders are 5138,811,510, against 92,541,950. The increase in the number of failures is 17 per cent, and of liabilities 50 per cent. The passing of the Missouri Pacific divi dend, followed by a decline of 20 points in that stock, has arrested the bullish tenden cies in stock speculation and caused sharp and general declines in values. This move ment was to some extent aggravated by the magnitude of the preceding advices, which, with the expansion of speculative activity and public participation, rendered a reac tion inevitable. A firmer tendency in the money market, due to the OctaBer'intcrest disbursements, also had some cltect.ihbugh at the close of the week the genqral market is quieter, with a rallying tendency. : The NcwYork money market is close, in spite of heavy receipts of gold from Europe, with further amounts in transit. Exchange is still at the gold importing point, but the pressure of grain bills is not so severe, and the shipments of gold from Europe are on a smaller scale THE TRAFFIC IN WHEAT. Exports of wheat from the United States for the week ending October 1, both coasts. have declined sharply, aggregating, with flour as wheat, only 3,405,982 bushels, against 4,711,000 bushels the week before and 0,974,000 bushels in the preceding week. In the concluding week of Septem ber for three preceding years like exports did not vary much from 1,000,000. Exports from United States and Montreal this week were 3,759,091 bushels; in the like week of 1890, a little more than 40 per cent as much, and for 14 weeks exports, wheat and flour, aggregate 58,032,000 bushels, against 25, 777,000 bushels from tjio United States and Canada in 14 weeks of 1890, 20,518,000 bush els from the United States only in 1889, 31,757,000 bushels in 1888, and 50,324,000 bushels in a like portion of 18S7. Exports of wheat from California are checked, and visible stocks there accum ulate. Shipments of wheat bv farmers West and Northwest are falling off, and interest revives as to the extent they may carry such restriction. For the first quarter of the present cereal year the available stocks of wheat have increased net 19,753.000 bushels, both coasts, as contrasted with an increase of only 3,074,000 bushels in the corresponding portion of 1890. DUNN'S OPTIMISTIC REVIEW. B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review savs: The past week has brought the expected re action in stocks, with the passing of a divi dend by the Missouri Pacific and some troubles among Western roads; but in the business of the country no reaction appears, nor are there signs of discouragement. In very many cases farmers will realize for their wheat grown this year more than the entire cost of their farms. Unseasonably hot weather has for the time retarded some trades, but a change is already noticed. It is also a most encouraging fact that these favorable conditions have produced as yet no speculative excitement or craze, such as often prepares the way for swift and dis astrous reaction. It is fortunate for the country that apprehension of financial dif ficulties this fall has powerfully restrained the speculative tendency. The iron markets are distinctly stronger. There is less pressure to sell and conces sions are more rare, even though any ad vance in prices is as yet resisted. The de mand for bar iron is not active, and weak ness in stocks tends to check sales of raiK Anthracite agents have decided upon an allotment of 3,250,000 tons for October, al though actual prices arc not above those of the July circular, while there have since been two advances.

During the month of September Drs. Copeland & Hall-placed under treatment a larger number of new patients than was ever recorded in a physician's office in the same length of time in Pittsburg. One of the incidents of that month, and resulting from the fight that Drs. Copeland & Hall have made upon unlicensed and unqualified pretenders to medical skill, was an attack on methods of treatment in which, without directly attacking Drs. Copeland & Hall, it was sought to injure their practice bv con fusing their methods with old-fashioned ones. Of course, with a public who believe above all things in fair play, the attack re acted with crushing cirect upon its un principled perpetrators', and the practice of .Drs. Copeland & Hall was doubled inside of 30 days. But they will not let the matter rest hero. They propose to givo to all in this city who suffer from catarrhal troubles an abundant opportunity to test thoir skill and tho superiority of their methods. They propose to teach their ene mies (and if they are proud of anything it is of the class of enemies they have made) that they cannot juggle with truth or maintain a lalse position before the public. They will, theieforc, for another 30 days continue their rato of $5 a month for medicines and treatment. All patients applying for treat ment before November 1 wilt bo treated for $5 a month and all medicines fnrnisiicd free, each month's treatment, including medi cine, to cost $5 UNTIL CURED.
