(By Mande Hall.) ~ -Mass York, Dec. 19.?the thinner fabrics come Into vogoe, ' the most successful patterns are go'ng to be those that reflect the Influence of the fancy velvets and duretyne that are now so popular. Never hare materials gained so much universal favor as have these two; nothing more natural, then, that they should be pertuated In the novelties of succeeding seasons. Just as the ratine and sponges were winterised by being woven in wool and silk, so will velvets and duvetyns be sprlngtlmed In linen. crepon and crepe mixtures. It Is the iwrlgfiwillty nf tho keeps them In vogue and as long as there Is a thread of novelty about them they will rank among the foremost' of the season's offerings. Btrlpes and figured velvets are _golng__to be in great demand at the Southern resorts; and Fashion's leaders are turning their attention toward Palm Beach, Miami, Aiken, i etc. There are even at theao rest and' recreation spots when a frock, of substantial material is required, and If the predictions of weather prophets are fulfilled, furs even will not be out of place. Fanciful designs are reserved for the silks and satins, laces and lin- j ens. These lend themselves to the draperies so dear to the feminine heart; but for the smart simplicity. nothing excels velvet, duvetyn, velveteen or a stunning whipcord. Midnight blue Is one of the most fashionable shades of these fabriqs. There are many different tones of this color. One clever clerk put them from seven o'clock to midnight, which Is probably as apt a description as could be found, for there are Mm very light blue to the very dark, almost black blues with which are mingled bright shades.

HOP GROWERS' PLAN. 1 Seattle, Wash., Dec. 19.?Plans p are rapidly developing for the organization of the interests of hop growers in the three principal producing states of the Pacific Coast *l rnelnn ? -- 4 I ...u_.uevvli, VI CftUU una California. The organization will be \ similar to the big union of fruit %r growers in the American Northwest, b the object being to eliminate the middleman. It is the plan of the n proposed organization, of which all growers will be members, to sell <; hops direct from producers to con- , Burners, so that th* former will receive more-money for his product than he is now able to obtain. 0 The peculiar situation in the hop g trade this year brought about this C( movement. This country produced a u good crop, but prices Instead of declining, advanced until at one time quotations were higher than those of last year when a short crop was har- ei vested. The season is only about ri half .'completed, yet the buying a movement was large enough to reduce stocks, especially of the choice s| grades, In first hands considerably. 01 In tho country markets of New York state there are practically no choice grades left. e] Growers realize that If they had had such an organization as Is now planned they could have easily ob- * talned nearly 10 cents a pound more for thetr hops.

T GEM TRADE GOOD. 1 New York, Dec. 20.?It has been 1 frequently noted that the importations of precious stones furnish a pretty good barometer of business conditions.

If that ; be true there is nothing the matter i with, this country's prosperity, for . this year it is by 30 per cent the best I previous record of jewel imports ^ During the year $57,000,000 worth h i of precious stones will have passed I 1 the customs men. f The value of the diamonds in this . , country alone is enoueh to n' S ( a long row of kings.
