New York Tribune. First among the latest importations in drap- eries and upholstery fabrics comes crepe cloth. One style is in low shades of secondary colors of artstic beauty. The gray ground is covered with shaded ereen foliage, varied here and there by clusters of creamy-tinted domwood blossoms and flowers; the graceful wandering branches are formed at regular intervals by bending trees and shrubs into medallions, wherein a pale-blue sky glows through the clustering leaves down upon a Diece of wat its gray-blue surface framed in broad lily léaves, rushes, tall grasses, and brown rocks. orergrown with lichen and ferns. A similar style, equally beautiful in its soft velvety effects like a painting, shows autumnal tints. of tangled forests with leaves flecked with crim- son, yellow, and brown. Banks of grecn-shad- ed ferns, wandering vines of small white flow- ers and tall lily sheaves, shadow a pond of gray- blue water in the foregrpund, reflecting the blue sky above. At the sides of the medallions and in its background rise mottled trunks of trees, | with luw-hanging branches of changing foliage: beneath # deer drinks from the pond and another stands on the bank. A pale olive ground of still another style shows large droop- ing tulips in natural colors with waving vine branches and half closed buds. A’great many- olive, bronze, and other quiet tints of green are seen in these fabrics, interspersed iu some vases wiih the Eastern colors of old gold, citron, cop- per, pomegranate pink, dusky blue and red. The mummy cloth, a reproduction of the wrappings of the Egyptian mummies in appearance and texture, is shown in such shades as drab, gray, deep blue, and yellow-cream, 1ead color, prim- rose and brown, and is used for all manner of upholstery purposes. . The French erctonues are so rich'in color and design, and present from their superb: quality co elegant an appearance that they decorate’ drawing-room as well as a boudoir; at this fact no one will wouder, con- sidering that, the charming drawings are made by the artist Morris.

These are seen in all warm tints, as well-as in gold, drab, brown, and olive, and cost $15 a window. In other curtain @raperies und portiercs there are no stripes to be seen, but mixtures in raw silk tapestries of pinks that shade inte brown and other Eastern colors of strange blues and reds, dusky olives, sage, and sienne, mingled with flecks of cream and white, and woven in a tli- grec of lines and curves, lights ‘and shadows; and orer other styles of golden satiny grounds wander raised silky vines, flowers, and Jestane: here and there a butterfly and scrolls; an again are seen squares und medalliovs inclosing set figures of rold on a brown ground, or saades of drab upon gold. ‘Superb: table-cloths are chosen to accompany these hangings!

Among some rare specimens of artistic furni- ture isa Hindoo set of table and chairs: the table, of ebony, has sides delicately carved in oaen work; the legs at each corner are made in semblance of the trunk of an elephant. with tusks of polished white holly. The chairs are square, with low back and side, and are up- holstered in crimson silk plush. Some odd pieces of ebonized cherry are elaborately carved in open work, and have light cherry panels in relief in scrolls and leafage. Some magnificent cabinets of the sixteenth century, very clab- orately carved, have inserted panels of the em- bossed velvet before described in citron and in crimson. In bedsteads is gradually witnessed a departure from the massive high back, and a re- turn to the low square ieadboard of the East- jake school. Maborany sets are trimmed with brass and ash. Other pieces of mabogauy fur- niture haye decoration of French veneer, which- is carved out, showing the white tulaying imi- tating ivory’ after the Persian.

William Young & Co. have issued their thir- teenth annual circular, containing replies from 210 shipping towns in lowa, Minnesota, Wiscon- sin, and Nebraska, to the questions, What is the present supply of wheat in warehouse and mills at your place, and how does it compare with the stock at the same date a year ago. The answers indicate that the stock on hand is about the sameasa year ago. The farmers have on hand about one-fifth to one-quarter of the crop. “ The summer packing of this city to date is 171,000 hogs, against 195,000 for the same time ayear ago, A falling off, indecd, but a respect- able quantity of work yet; it. beats the total winter packing at some points which are not re- garded as smail ones. We have been asked to give a short statement of the storage problem. In order to be regular for delivery on contracts, grain must have five days to run on regular storage, which is 4c per bu previous to April 16, and 1¥c per bu on and after that date. The total storage charges on any given lot of grain are assumed by the buyer, the whole being paid by the holder who takes it out of store. April 16 there is 43¢c per bu due on winter- grain. Subtracting 1c leaves 3!4¢ as the amount to be subtracted from the selling price in order that the buyer may as- sume the 4lgc storage charge. April 21 the fic- ures are Se minus 13c leaves 9%¢; and May 1 they are 5}gc minus 1c leaves 43/c to be de- ducted from the selling price. Grain delivered April 11 to 15, inclusive, has less than five days to run on dc storage; so that the seiler must deduct 3c per bu in that case, because 43¢e will be due at the expiration of five days from the date of delivery. * i The carrying charge from April into May is equal to 43éc storage, and, in wheat, about 3c for insurance and the interest on the use of money. Hence the legitimate difference be- tween the prices on wheat for April and May is sbout 5c; for other grain it is somewhat less. Corn in Liverpool is no quoted at 21s 84 per quarter of 480 Ibs, or about 60c per bu. This is a very low price, and ought to enormously stim- ulate the consumption of. the article. The leading produce markets were ratber tame Saturday, but very steady. There was more doing in provisions, but they bad been quite dull during Friday. In grain the trading seemed to be chiefly local, except a very mod- erate shipping movement. The weather.is still unsettled, though no rain fell. . , A good degree of activity was apparent in dry-goods circles.’ Many buyers were present, and a large volume of busivess Was also accomolished through the’medium of mail orders. Prices remained firm. Groceries continue to receive a generous share of atten- tion, und the general market preserves a tirm and healthy tone. In the dried-fruit market there is continued activity. Both the city and country trade are ordering freely, and for ap- ples, peaches, and. prunes the market is still advancing. Fish were quoted quiet, with no Material variation in prices. Mackerel, cod, and whitefish are in light stock, and are firm. There was but slight change in the butter market. Fine table butter is wanted at full figures, the supply falling short of the de- mand, but for other descriptions the market Cheese is tending Jower, under increasing re- ceipts. There was a liberal movement fn offs, paicts, and colors, and a fairly steady set of prices. a : Lumber was again reported active at variable prices: A few cargocs have been received from the most southern ports across the lake, and lib- eral receipts are expected during the early part’ of thecoming month. There -is.a call for dry stuff, but buyers and sellers seemi to be rather wide apart in their prices, and not enough lum- ber of any one grade has been sold to establish a market. ‘ Wool and broom-corn were unchanged. Seeds were rather quiet, excepting timothy, which sold freely at former priees. Hides’ were steady: ‘The supply of grcen fruits was liberal, and local buyers and shippers were ‘purchasing freely. Game and poultry were in-fair local request. MOVEMENT OF WHEAT. The following shows the receipts and ship- ments of wheat at points named yesterday: Received. Shipped.

The Sai Francisco Merchant gives the follow- ing: e The reports from ali parts of the interfor show that the gentle but plenteons rains of the week have been very widegpread, and our farmers gen- erally are cheerful and full of hopes of an excellent crop. ‘These March rains have been productive of the best effect; they have thoroughly moiatened tne ground Without wasbing the hills or drowning the ant in the low lands. ‘The stand in most districts looks convequently better than at the same time Jast year, when in many dietricte it suffered from storm and excessive rain. ‘The acreage is fully up to Jat year. and probably 5 per cent more. Of the last crop an unusual quantity was inferior, badly stained, andfoul with-chess, etc. This year we may hope not only Jarger area but a litte beavier Teturn with an improved quality. .
