Notes from the Artist World. PHOTOCRAPRIC ENCRAVING. TRE HELIOTYPE PROCESS. Photograpby in ite various applicstions stands among: the chiof of the agencies employed in secent timea for the popular diffasion of knowl- sdge of works of art. Yo a former article, upon Woodburytypes, it was pointed ount that inall she processes of making photographic pictures the method of taking the negative is the sawe, and tho differences are in the mode of printing from thie negative. All the procerses of photo- graphic engraving are dependent upon the qual- ity of gelatine, when troated with bichromate of potash, of becoming on exposars to light insola- vle in water. In the Wooaburyiype process and Goupils' “Photogravure,” a bichromated gelatine flm, made into & relief by exposure fo light under (e negative and subsequent washing with water, i used for producing in eoft metal by stamping urder pressate a plate which can be used ke sn ordiuary copperplate for printing impres- sions with ink. Two other proceses are familiar by their prod- octe to all art-students, very different from those already deseribod, and very different fiom eich other. One is the method employed in BRATN'S PHOTOGRAPHS, widely known for the reproduction of the paint- ings in the Sistize Chapel, the drawings of the old masters in the Ufiizi Gallery, and other siandard and valuable worke of art. This is not 3 mode of photo-engraving, but is strictly de- tcribed by its name of *‘carbon photograph.” Cichromated elatine is made the vehicle of & carbon coloring matter, wkich is exposed to the Light. sud afterwards partly washed away, and then by ingenious processes tiansferred bodily to the paper, where it forms the final. permaneos prines which auawer 8o admirable & purgose. In his case we bave actually in the single picture the gelatine film which s used in the other pro- cessca 28 & piate or matrix to print many pictures from; & separate print from the nega- tive is necessury for everv impression, and the piciures are necessarily rather expensive. ‘Tne second procese s & true metbod of photo- engraving, aud perhaps the tmost valuable now 1 use, known a8 THE HELIOTYTE PROCESS. This is becoming 8o 1mportant an adjunct of all Bstudies of ine art that 1t ments & Somewhat par- ticular description. Mr. Ernest Edwards deliv- ered an address before the Society of Arts at the Nsseschusetts Institcte of Techuology in 1872, in which the process was ex lained in full. The distinctive feasure of the heliotype procesa is that the gelatino film, which 1 Woodbury's, Goupils', and the pboto-hthozraph methods, 18 ased as an agent for tranefeniug the pictare to metal or stons, and in Braon's photograohs is self traneferted to the paper,—th:s gelsiine film is itself used 3 & printing-plate, and all the im- pressions come etraizht fiom & saiface which has been exposed under the pegative direc:ly to the action of the light. While the action of hot water on gelatine is to diesolve it, tne aclion of cold water is not to Ciesolve it but smmoly 1o swell it up like a sponge. The action of light is tocloss up the pores €0 that it will peitber be diesolved by hot water nor swollen by co'd, od this may take place to & greater or less extent according to the degree of exposure. If a photographic gelawne plate is steeped in cold water, the paits of 1t affected by hght so that the pores are closed. will receive watcr and the rest will re- fuse it ; and 1f hthogrsphic ink, which 15 of & Freasy quality, 12 apylied to the plate, the ink will adbere in the portions that contain no water and fail to adhers in the rost, 6o that the picture will be revealed in light and shade. A TARTHER STEP IN TEE PROCESS is peceseary because of the perishsble nature of 1he parts of the gelatine Alm unaffected by the Light. By admixture with alum gelatine 18 con- verted into s tough, lesther-like subsiance, which yet retains the quality of being acted wpon by Light, apd an important pert of the heliotype procees .is the treatment of the gelatine with slam. The photographer then hasa thin, tough film to deal with, thick enough to recewve suf cient water to revel greasy ink. but pot too thick to print from with facility, This film in the original expenment was attached to a ginss plate, but a dificalty was encoun- tered in exposing it _under the nega- tive on acconnt of the rigidity of the two glass plates, which preveuted the perfect contact es- tential to clear prints: and means were devised, by internosing wax between the £lm and the plate to which it was attacted, for detaching the film aitogether, aud leaving it like a piece of brown paper, thin, flexible, snd tough. With Lhis, perfect contact with the negstive and the Fharpest prints can be readily obtained. In or- der ta print from the gelatine, it is necessary to BUppOrt it UpPon & zinc or copper plate, when'it is used ina press like any steel or copper plate, but can be detscbed at auy time, and packed away Jo its thin. papery condition. A furtherimprovement in the process as actusl- Is used is in the inking, two or more inks bemng nsed m guccession, of different intensitres and colors, if desired, from which fine eects are proguced. From a siogle golatine plste as meny as 1,500 impressions are sometimes taken, or * pulled,” 10 use the eugraver's word, without deferiora- tion, but, a8 the gelative tlms are more delicate than metaliic pistes, they ate liable to accidents under careless usage. A fresh plate, howerver, may be prepared in ao hour at a few cents’ ex- pense, 80 that tho reduplication may be cartied to aoy extent. Ops man wall print from 100 to L£00 impressions 3 day. BTCR 18 THE PROCESS. WHAT OF THE RESULTS? The resulia ars of all sorts; that is to say, the heliotype process farnishes s means of making raprodactions of almost ail sorts of pictures. Whatever can be taken by photography can be pat into permanent “form and mulsiplied td aoy extent at moderate cost by the heliotype method. Objects ta- Len from nature, persons, views, interiors of buiidings, eic.—resemble ordinary photo- graphs, bus possess the advantages of durability B0d easy prodaction in grest numbers. Much the seme 18 true of drawings of varions kinds, ip crayon, pen-and-ink, pencil, or Indian ink. For line drawings, such s engincers’ plans and architects’ drawings, a transfer is made from the gelatine to stone, and this method is used in compeuition with ordinary Litucgraphy, for line work oulv. The sizo is limited only by the dimensions of the hthographic stone, about 36x 431nchea, and tho cost i not greater than that of lithography unlesa very great numbers sre wanted. Thesccurecy of the copies. being made br protography and not by hand, is of eourse eaperior to ttat of lithographs, Helfotspes proper have been made aa large a8 22x24 inches.

The history of the most important application of the heliotype pro- ress to the fine arts in thu country1s 8 follows: Early in 1878 the President and Fe.ows of Har- rud College wishing (according to s letter of President Eliot) 1o make the * Gray Collection of Engravings "in tho college hbrary as usefal né;omble_bo students of a1t and to the public, xod convinced of the merits of thie photo- graphic printing process, plsced the collection, 35 far s was consistent with its safatr, at the service of the propristors of the heliotype pro- vess, Oggood & Co,, of Boston.

The Grav Collection is one of the largest and most complete in the country, containing the choicest and most costly proofs of the best engravers; original works of Darer, Rembrandt, Van Leyden, aod Caracci, and the best engrav- ings of Raphsel Morghen, Toschi, 3fendel, Strange, and other famous engravers from the ‘works of the old masters, Four or five hundred engravinga are to bepublisbed from the collec- tion. Heliotypes do not need to be monoted, but are prioted directly upon paper, and come from the press with clean margins, finished, and reads for “framing or binding. Ordinary eyes would not detect the difference be- tween & heliotype producrion and a steel engraving. The impressions appesr clear, sharp, avd fine. The quelity to which Br. Palmer refers when ho says thai the prints are not sbsolute fac-similes, is probably a want of the final sharpness in the single lines of impres- eions prioted _from gelative, which is the con- apicuons merit of fine sseel engravings. This may bo detected by the use of the magnifying glass, and becomes nore moticeable in some Specimens of the process shere whole sides of & pewspaper are photographed down to diminative propottions, and the prioting ‘appears somewhat blurred.

He s established Mr, Drury's commodious studio an Huron atrast, nd among the fnished pictares bung upon his wail are portraits of iliss Bryan—exhibited in the Exposition—and of Mrs, Henry W. King and Mra. McCagg, all admirable, though de- cidodiy different in subject. The likenesses ara #aid by friends to be very strong. sud with char- scteristi¢ expressions. = As pictures, the por- trait of 3lrs. King (abont one-third length) is distioguished by the rich quality of the color, marking a deep branette complexion with ereat Life-likeness and beanty. It is a careful victure, with all the points of expression and draperies well defined, and no attempt at the heroc quality, either in pose or accessories,—s simple portraic of a lady in ordinary drese.as her friende, no doubt, hike best to see her. The last remark is applicable aleo to the other portrait, which, bowever, is of & paler complexion. possegses in an eminent degree an agreeable, reflective expression, eminently adapted to a portrait.

In Chicago It Is Too Good a Thing to Be Parted With. Consequently Comparatively Few Trans- actions Are Reported. The New Fire Ordinance and the Building Season. An Active Loan Market. Most of the readers of Tae TringSt already understand that holders of property have entirs confidence in 1t mltimate value as an invest- mext, and bold oo to it frmly s sgainst zny price they cav now get for it. The large class of capitalists and others down to the possessor of a few hubdrod dollars laid by to be invested in a home, are all holding off and waiting for lower prices. Hence transactions are few, and 0o change occurs in the market suficiont to make thot most desirable article—news. The materisl for it is undoubtedly acon- malating steadily, bul how long that wmaterial is _ to remain uoused “npo fellow can ®find ont"—certaioly no ove whose judgmont can be trusted pretends to bave any defimite knowledge on the subject. That Chicago property-owicra have entire confidence in the futare growth and prosperity of the city, and realize how vast and profitable is the business now done here, is also proved by the vasi sumber of buildings put up during the ‘past season and still in process of coustruction. Onr merchants and capitalists, great and small, do not go elsewhere to invest their money. Most of them, it is true, find active use for their profits in their 1ncreasing business ; bat many of them ei her imp-ove property already owned, to make it productive, or purchase real estate, and hold it 28 & permsnent investment. Just now little ar oothing is doing, but eartier in tho season several large parchases will be remembered, ‘When onr merchauts and business-men have had time to balance tueir books for the year, they srill doubtlexs agatn find a very consideérabla sur- plas of profita to iuvest in real property. It is evident that our new fire ordinance is producing a sglutary effect. The buildings put up now are all brick, scores of tham with stons {ronts, and, instead of retsrding improvements, the measure seenss Teally to have satimuluted them. It promises immunity = from the terrible fires that have wrought such _fearful de- struction of property, anod, therefore, 1t inspires confidence among owuers to improve their properiy. The reporters of TEE TRIDGNE {from tine to time post up the statisics of build- ing ; but norder to appreciate the energy and the enterprise of our people, oue must take a day or two-fo ride about tho city. The results will surprise even our best Informed and most enthusiastic citizens. The amount of building done daring the past season is eimply immense. & NEW YORK. In New York prices aopear to have about touched bottom. The Tribune of the 11th says : ‘While there is no actual improvement reported in the real eqtate market of this city, atatements have been made 0 a /ribune reporter by some of the lead- ing dealers hat the general impression is that prices cannot go much lower. In @omo cases & slight en- coursgement in the way of more inquiries after good property is spoken of, bt the actual sales are very light, xnd, with very few exceptions, it is stated, thess are on account of foreclosures of mortgages. One promient dealer remarked that ho had beard of bt one ssle on the street within the past week or two, The ony wpeculators, he stated, are the * bears,” who bave matters all their own way. Another prorninent dealer said the greatest reduction had taken placo in unimproved property in the upper part of the city, and in high-priced residences evers- where; 'houses that wero held two years ago st $50,000 to $150,000 would not sall to-day, in many cues, for more than baif thatsum, Much of the un- improved property bad long been held at an entirely fictitious value, and when 1t became necessary 10 sell, the land would, in many cases, not bring more than 25 per cent of what wa asked for it befare the panic of 1873, On impruved property that was worth from $3,000 to $20.000 two years ago, the rednction in value hud been much less marked, espectally on the east side of the city. Property beiwean Second and Fourth avenues, below Seventy-fiftn strest, wou'd generally bring aa much to-d:y a8 st any previous time, Onthe West Side the depreciation in values had been more apparent, and there were fower transactions of a noture which indicated = bealthy business. In Harlem the reductions in jmproved property have mnot 28 great as some other portions of the city, as there is little of what might be called high- pricad property there. So much depends upon the jo- cation and the changea in the cherscter of business that are cantinually taking place, that, tais gentleman 8aid, it was dificult to estimate the reduction in the value of down-town business properts, but 1t was thought safe to put it at 10 o 30 per cent, A s e under foreciosure was mzde on Tuesdsy atthe Exchange Balesroom, No. 111 Broadway, of the ground and im- provements known as No. 39 Broad strest, for $31,000, At the sale it was announced that the Droperty was then occupled at a rental of $5,000 per snnum, and that the occupant wisbed to remain at that rent. ‘The gen- eral depreciztion, however. in Tentals, it was stated to the reporter, has not been equivalent to that in the value of the property, and an investent in real estato uo-a.x will yield & better income from rent than it would prior to 1873, BPECTMEN SALES.

The Latest.!lodes. New York Evening Poat. For dioner and evening dresses the finer gold and silver trimmings are very appropriate. Sil- ver is particalarly adapted to lighten up, with shimmering threads, the pale, soft colora so much in vogao for evening wear. Delicate stlver embroideries, which look as if they bad come from the looms of Persis, will be used with lace ot silver thread. These trimmings are more suited to white or very light colora; combina- tions of wuite silk, with crepe lisso, or cliam- bery guuzo, are mcet effective in connection with them. For very young girls, the Algerian materials, in which gold and atlver threads are wovon with stripes of color, will be found very beautiful, particalaily when looped with knots of ribbon matching the prevailiog color. Many imitations of theso gaods are just 2s besutiful as those of roul Algiers make, although the real article ia of course the moat to be desired. Flowers form, as nsual, one of the chief fes- tures of evening drosses. A very new and very beautiful arrangement is seen in tlus season's importations. Wrenths, formed of flowers and thin lesves, are laid down oa tho froot of the skirt and carmied ronnd either £o loop high on one side or to follow the outline of the train. But the charm of these wreaths is in the grace~ ful pendent frioge of beads which hang in the most natoral mapner from the border of flowers. For & pink eilk, on which crepe de chine was draped into & long, apron-shaped overdiess, there was & wrestu of balf-opened roses and pink buds nesiiy among green leaves; this wreath was laid low on the front breadth, and the long, droou- ing stoms, with their besutifal buds, fell over the flounce almoss to tho edge of the skirz. The wieath was carried up on the left sideand draped itself into graceful ends aud trailing brancnes over the beck of the dress. These dower-frim- mings come In endlesa vaneties; crocuses, hya- cinths, vio.ets, button-balls, all are used with their own leaves, and trim the colors which are most 10 harmonv with them. A putting of talla is goverally laid uoder these wreaths to soften therr fafl npon the silk, but the tulle should be the color of the dress, not white, 50 a3 not to mar the effsct. With this flower irimming. full wreaths for the haur are spoken of ; but 1t has grosn to be an obsolete notion that every woman must wear her hair in any particuiar siyle; the sryle de- pends upon tbe wearer; that is fashionabla which i8 becoming. The special feature in some of the hand- somcst evening dresses shown this soason is the rich brocaded silk and satia which compose the overdress. Satin brocade on velvet, on cesh- mere, or on silk, seems to be & rather stiff ma- terial for the fashion of tbe hour, which re- uites 8 dress to assumo & clingiug shape; but these materials drape in a very besutiful mauner. All thesa dresses were made with Joog tiains, and invariably a flounce of French muslin, edged with lace, was set in under the dress, so that it uot only helped to protect tho dress, but gave it the graceful eweep which a trained dreas needs. The latest advices (rom adroad indicate that thia style will prevail for ail dresses worn in the house. Since crinohine is not to be adopted, and the female form must as much s possibie keep strictly in a straight line, it is_indispensable to have some arrangemeat by which the long trail- ing skitt is to be kept from fuliing under, and thus losing all its graceful outlwe. THE PASHIONS IN FTRS. Harper’s Bazar. ‘Seal remains the fashionable far for sacques, and is also much used for inexpensive sets, coa- wisting of & muff and boa. Seal sacques differ from those of last season in being_mure shaped to the figure and in having from 2 to 4 inches additional length. A stylish sscque is from 28 to Slinches fong. The neck is finished with a fall severs collar. The sleeves are quite large. and some models are wide enough to ailow a coff of the fur beneath. Plain seal sacques are still worn, but those trimmed with otter furs ara most faslionsble; hence ladies who have anort plaia sacques left over from pre- vions seasons are having them lengthened by adding a three-inch band of some other fur as a trimming, ) A sealskin boa that is to be worn with a seal sacque should be only & vara sud a half long; but if it is to be worn a8 s part of a sat, it should be two yards long. Seal muff are of medium size, like thoso of (ast winter, and are tnmmed with ribbon bows that are embroidered; others have tassels. and some are perfectly plan. Among the most desirable wraps are thosa lived with for while the outside ia very heavy repped black gilk or elge Sicilienne, The shapa mostly worn is the plain cycular, from 46 to 54 inches deep, and forming a perfect semi-circle. ‘They are mede of silk of extra width, manufac- tured for the purpose, = Notwithstanding all changes of fashion, the brown Russian 8sble remains the choicest fur. Tt i as high in price as ever, and becomes more difficult to obtain yearly. Perhaps the most dressy of all the fancy furs introdnced Iately is the silver-fox—s light biue- gray fur, interspersed with those *‘silver points " or white tips thac are now thought to add so much to the beauty of aoy far. Another fashionable gray fur for eets and also for trimmings is the Africa chinchilla. The sets of fisher-tail fur that were so highly prized last season are very difficult to procure now. Sets of black marten far, sometimes called Alssks sable, remain the prevailing choice in low-pricod fura, : The demand for mink furs becomes more lim- ited every_season, yet tho fine dark grades are still worn by those who do uot care for changes of fashion, and coosider instead durability and comfor:. Ermine, which was considerad the most dresgsy fur, looka passee now that fox and chinchilla fars are nred. & Astrakhap, Ruesian lamb-gkio, krimmer, aod other black furs, though no loncer novelties, are still liked for their soft, rich fur, and may now be obtained as very reasonsble prices. Fur trimmings are the most fachionable gar- nitare for sacques, cloaks, and heavy wraps of all cloths, silks, and velvet. Thers is an endless variet of trimming furs, soms of which we have already quoted, but the caprice of the season is for dark furs that have white-tipped hairs: and 80 popular are thess that furriers have resorted to sewicz gray or white bairs in the dark furs when patore has not supplied them. Of the latter is a fancy far cailed eilver otter, which is » black fur, with eilver hairs sewed or even 2sted 1. v The new soal-hats are no looger turbans, but aroshaped precisely like the English walling bats now worn in straw or felt, excapt that the crown is round, in Derby shape, A long oatrich feather of seal-brown color begina in the front, paases over the crown, aad drops behind.

J.—To the Editor of the New York Sun : Op Oct. 78 man with 8 team of horses drove psst my house sod drove into the woods, whero he left his tesm. He was uoder the influence of liquor. The horses were in the woods until Oct. 23, where they were found by a man who was hanting.

A lotter received in this city yesterdsy from Man- chester, Ia., states that In the whole of that section there ia not a bushel of merchantable carn. The leading produce markets were rather quiet on Ssturday, snd generally weak. Grain was generally heavy or dull, and in some of the marksts both of those features were noticesble, There waa littla doing for shipment, except in wheat, and that was sluggish, ‘most of the trading being speculazive. The immediate causs of the heavy fesling was the fact that the movemant of grain from this city $o New Yorkby water is no longer possible. The lke routs is still open, but grain leaving this city now must befor- warded from Buffaloby rail. Just how much that will coat we cannot say. ‘The railroad companies are asking 11340 per bu for wheat now, and 13c for December, if the agreemont be made now. It is thoughs that apecial contracts have been obtained at less figares, The cost of transportation in that portion of the routo being increased, the process of shipment is rendered possi- ble only by a declire in the price of grain here, a re- duction in lake freight rates, or a rise on the sea- board, or by some two'orall three of these move- ments. Hence heaviness all round. The weather was more inclined o the wintry phase than on any Previous day recently, snd grain operstors bad an- other reminder of the approach of the cold season in the fart that the winter rate of storage commences on Monday, the 15th inst. The dry-goods trade was quiet, a2 is usnally the cass o the closing day of the weak. Priea weze subjected to no important change, the general market displaying a frm and steady tome, Theexport m¢ ment has given the Enatern market for standard cot- ton productions something of an upward tendency, but no immediate decided advance fa likely to occur. Tn the grocery market there was mod- erate activity, both on local and interlor so- count, and tuc general tenar of prices wis Ermer than &t the beginning of the weck. For coffees, how- ever, the market still has & weak tone, and the quota- tions of Rio grades were reduced another Xc. Sugars, airups, molasaes, leas, rice, spices, 83aps, etc., were Beld st very fall prices. The dried-fruit market pro- sented the same charoteristics 88 on the preceding days of the week. There i a fairly-active and steadily- growing demand for foreign assortments, and for raisins, currants, and some other lines, prices are working firmer. Raisins were again advanced 10c per box, and were strong at the improvement. Domestlc dried remain Arm, despite the absence of auy consid- erable demsnd, Fish wers quoted quiet and frm. Butter aud chesse were orderod rather sparingly, sud former quotations were only indifferently sustained. Taere were no changes 12 prices of coal, wood, leather, Lagging, and tobacco, The olt market remains quiet, with prices ruling steady. ‘There was a very dull cattle market Saturdsy. The immediate wants of the trade appear to have been met, and only a few lots Were taken either by local or outaide buyers.

The receipta of hoga were fair for Saturdsy, and prices were a shade of, which tended to weaken product, buta good many orders to sell were received befors that {act was known, oper- stors in the country being snrious to go short, in anticipstion of s furtner decline in prices. City Dbuyers fook hold freely, chiefly to Al shorts already out, and the market then ruled steadier, with a part of the drop recovered. The re- ceipta of hogs thus far have been larger than was ex- pected; less than at this date Last year, but tht was an exceptional season. Our packers have nitherto taken hold freely, but only to 8l current orders for product, and several, including some of the largest, bave steadlly refused to buy a single hog, claiming that it s Dot safe to touch them st the figures which bave ruled to date, Consumers have hitherto ‘aken hold rather fresly, keepng our stocks of product down 103 low point, but they seem to have bought anly for the supply of current wants, and ar chary about buy~ ing for future, though st a heavy discount from wpod prices, Hence the feeling in product is very unset- tled, and even the wisest profess to be all st sea re- jgarding the prospects for the future.
