OUTLOOK.
UP
Business Begins to Brighten Spring Trade.
YO
For the
January leaves behind it the lowestaverage ot prices for all commodities ev-T known: foi cotton, iron and its products, wool and silver, the lowest, monthly average ever known: and for wheat a range above the minimum but yet declining rapidly toward that point-. Industrial operations h-ive not materially diminished though it has been a disappointing month, because the general revival expected has not come.
The continuing drift of money to New York shows scanty commercial, demand in the interior and no improvement appears Ivre in commercial loans. In short, business is still waiting and finds reason hesitation in the condition of the trea.-ury.
Speculation lias not favored producers Wheat is one-haif cent lower, but western receipts were only l,22ti,OI2 bushels, against 1.5711,217 last year, and with exports larger than last year might- have helped prices, had not the visible stocks been so large. Corn is 2 cents Iowt, with receipts about half and exports not, one-eighth of last year's.
Cotton declined a sixteenth and is close to the lowest point ever touched, with an average of only 5.70 1-2 cents for January, against 5.74 in December and 8.0i in January of last year. The movemeat continues large and the maximum crop estimates are encouraging, but there is not a little hope that the decrease of acreage this year by concerted
Silver has been weak and for tho month has made slightly the lowest average ever known, the output in JS:)4 being reckoned by Wells-Fargo company at $.28,721,014, or 45,588,911 ounces. The decrease was 12 per cent, while the increase in gold was 35 per cent.
Iron anil steel look less encouraging at the east, and the demand is disappointing, although prices are not weaker. At Pittsburg and the west a larger demand appears, particularly for wire and wire nails, which do not change in price as yet, while Bessemer iron is 25 cents higher, billets a little stronger and gray forge 15 cents lower. The structural demand is good, but prices are a shade lower, and while the market for bar has been unusually good, prices do not lift. Considerable contracts foxcast pipe have been taken, or are pending, but in the aggregate the new business since Jan. 1 has not answered expectations.
Textile manufactures can not score improvement for the week, for though print cloths have advanced a shade, the demand for other cotton goods is only moderate and pi-ices are unusually irregular. The opening of men's woolens ha continued with even more general dec'uration of belief by domestic, manufacturers that they can sustain themselves in medium grades and in worsteds, but in the liner grades much hesitation appears and in the lower grades the extremely low prices made by foreign dealers seem to threaten the manufacturer.
Wool is so low that large sales for possible futures continue and the total at the chief markets for four weeks has been 23,157,065 pounds, against 25,72 150 two years ago.
The British Steamer Cratliie Arrested For Causing the Disaster.
ROTTERDAM, Feb. 2.—The North German Lloyd Steamship company, owners of the 1 :t- steamship Elbe, have arrested the British steamer Crathie by nailing a writ to her mast. This action is taken
without her cargo. Captain Gordon of the Crathie says that he was knocked down by the force of the collision, and that when he regained his feet the two ships were some distance apart, and the Crathie was so damaged that he expected her to sink at any moment. In spite of this, Captain Gordon added, he followed the other steamer, but found that she went faster than the Crathie, and so he thought the vessel she had collided witli was safe.
Eight More Victims.
LOWESTOFT, Feb. 2.—It now appears that Loie Misselewitz, Schifre Dorman, Anton Fischer and two sidults and two children, names unknown, who were thought to be among the passengers who intended to proceed from Bremen to Southampton by another route and take the Elbe at the latter port, changed their minds at the last moment and embarked on board the steamer at Bremen. Consequently they are numbered among the drowned.
The mayor of this town has opened a fund to be g'ven to the captain of the fishing smack Wildflower, as a testimonial for his rescue of the survivors of the Elbe disaster.
Official Inquiry.
BREMEN, Feb. 2.—The official inquiry into the foundering of the Elbe will probably be held in this city. Tho charts show that at the place where the Elbe went down the water is 120 feet deep.

THE DOLMAN MANTLE AND HOW TO
•tr CUT IT.
More Flegant Than .Tucket, It Is Easier For an Amateur to Fashion- How to Regulate Length and Width—New Blouse
Waists.
[Copyrk li Assoeia-
by American Pre tion.]
The latest move of importance in dressmaking is the renewal of the dobnanca{o:: or mantle wit-hour sleeves. These aro. made long, generally reaching below tho. knee. They are adapted for evening# wraps, for the. street and visiting, and they are always more elegant and dressy?: than any jacket, fur women. The jacket is better adapted for youili and for ordinary wear.
In making a three-quarter dolman mantle the pattern can he drafted easily from the diagram herewith, the front, edge being laid even Willi the selvage, with as much turned in as may be desired. This, however, mi .-:, l.e allowed lor before the: rest is marked. It- will be noticed I hat. on the. shoulder seam there is one flattened1, space that is -1 inches wide, and following..'-' tin" two lines down is to be laid in a plait, which allows for the opening for the hands. The width across the bust from the marks, aside from lie space marked for the plait, should In: the size of the bust', from the arm size and should be easy, not.-' ti^ht The circular line .-hows the rounded:: shoulder poriion. Thewidth of each front at the bottom should depend somewhat", on tho figure of theweaiviv but a good way to get it is to pass a {.-incline around the body where the bottom of the mantle will he and get the number of inches, divide it into three, two parts for the fronts and the other for the back.
The hack part is cut on the fold of the cloth, and the lower portion is not divided. Tho jog is to be laid in two Hat plaits at the waist line. The. center back seam should first be seamed and pressed Hat, these plaits laid in and sewed down under neat arrowheads. The front plait should then be laid and stitched to the lining The lining of the front part should benarrower by the size of the plait than the outBide. The lining and outside should be sewed together, turned and pressed. Tho plait will then fall naturally into placo and can be basted and later stitched into place.
The arm holes are marked OO and should be cait and bound from the inside, Tho shoulder seams should then be sewed together, and then tho back and front portions basted carefully, beginning from tho bottom. The hack portion should have been lined and pressed and tho seams hasted firmly about two inches from the edge to allow the lining on that side to lie back and not be taken in with the seem.
When the hacks and fronts are hasted together, the upper portion of the circular part will be gathered closely into the space left for it and sewed firmly to the shoulder. The lining all around is left loose from tho material, and as soon as the seams are pressed it should be felled down very neat

A sprung or slashed overcape is sometimes added, particularly when the mantle is intended for evening wear, and this is bordered with fur of some kind. When the mantle is made of plush, velvet or heavy silk, a rich trimming of passementerie or heavy lace applique or silk embroidery may he
skin is always an addition. When it is desired to lengthen this into along cloak, all there is to do is to lengthen the lines, always making it a little larger around the bottom, as it is longer. When the garment is made of woolen goods, it must he evenly shrunken before it is made up otherwise dampness may entirely change its form. When it is desired as a warm winter wrap, it should be interlined with a flexible flannel made for tho purpose, or it may lie lined with fur, such as Siberian squirrel. Many ladies have old circular capes lined with that fur, anil it can be utilized to line a mantle.
The cape, if any, to wear over this style of mantle must fit the shoulders Hat and fall smoothly down. When finished, tho laily who likes to wear a distinguished and elegant garment will be pleased.
A word maybe said on the distinguishing feature of tho new blouse waist and how to attain it. There are full gathered fronts and backs, with belts, as usual, but the front of the waist is rounded downward about two to four inches. Tho fronts are lined somewhat stiflly, and then tho gathers, or plaits, as may be, are taken in and sewed to tho belt. This sets the front out sharply just abovo the belt. Many of them have straps down the center of the 6houlilers, and to these the waist is gathered in Garibaldi style. Others have tho sleeves lengthened on the top and the extra length plaited up to tho collar in a plait 1 inches wide.

In one of his letters still extant poof Rumford wrote, "I have tho misfortune to bo married to one of the most unfeeling, imperious, tyrannical women that ever" existed, whose perseverance in pursuing an object is equal to her profound wickedness and cunning in framing it." When she was vexed, which was nearly all tho time, she vented her spleen by breaking tho bottles that contained his anatomical specimens, by upsetting his apparatus on tho floor, throwing his hooks out of tho windows and pouring boiling water on his hotanial collections.'
