The New York Tost remarks that there is a iendency to a ravivai of the old styles in dress fashions this spring, but only the most taste? ful and becoming will bc again brought out. The prevailing fashion is to have the upper pan of the bodice open, with the corners turn? ed back, like a coat; or without corners, with a lace neckerchief or Chemisett. This style was much m vogue more than twenty-rive years ago, and was revived, to some extent, some vears later. Skirts are cored; the back breadths full and gathered, icisiead of plaited at the waist, add? ing much to the svminetry of the figure. Skirts plain at the back were rarely becoming, but the fullness of the present style relieves the straightness and stiffness, making the train more graceful. Trained skirts are very fash? ionable, and a train a yard long is considered short, as they are often three or more yards in length, requiring considerable space; but gen? erally hidden among the folds there is a button covered with the same material as the dress, which can be raised to a loop at the belt, con? cealed by the sash so that the train can be shortened as occasion requires. Coat sleeves will be much worn in thick ma? terial, and there is nothing new in this style except the mode of trimming, which is so va? ried as to be very effective. In thin material, and silk for dress occasions, the loose flowing sleeve will be a favorite. There are distinct styles, differing in form as well in trim? ming. Dress skirts are elaborately trimmed, parti? cularly in the front breadth, and often the side ones also. Bich heavy silks and poplins do not require much trimming upon the Bkirt, as such heavy materials are made with long trains; but thin materials for summer wear viii pe made np with shorter traine, though doubtless they will be long enough to give an immense sweep. Scarfs are to be much worn with dresses on nearly all occasions, being fashionable for the street and indispensable for a complete house toilet. The prettiest and most stylish are the Marie Antoinette. One Biy ?e of these scarfs is in the form of a capo at the back, reaching nearly to the belt, gradually becoming narrow? er. It crosses in front, and passing under the arms meets at the belt, with long scarf ends. A pretty scarf of the Marie Antoinette style begins at the front at thc waist, is open at the shoulder, and meets at the back, being joined with two rosettes. If crossed only one rosette is worn. This can bs made of buick silk, and trimmed with velvet and lace, or ruffles of pink silk, and worn with any other color. A new style of decoration is the "masonic apron." A very small apron trimmed with fringe is attached to a belt, which, crossing at the back, is clasped with a bow' of ribbon, from which it widens out into long scarf ends. The newest and most fashionable style for street, wear is the pelisse. A pretty shape is close fitting at the shoulder, rather loose at the waist, and worn with a wide belt. The collar turns down, and the front, at the neck, turns back in the form of a coat. The side seams are left open for on t-third of a yard, and the corners are turned back to match the revers at the neck. It is trimmed with satin gimp, or velvet or satin ribbon if preferred. A handsome design for a black silk pelisse for spring wear is cut double-breasted, the front buttoning on the shoulder and at the sides. A wido belt has long sashes at the back, trimmed with lace: over this, and attached ta the belt, is a little fancv jacket which has a pretty effect. A new style of mantilla, to bo made up in black silk, is an old one revived. It is round at the back, sloping up over the arm, and has long scarf ends in front. These are now b:ought around the waist and crossed at the back. {Commercial. Exports.

NEW YORK, Saturday, March 7, leos.-THE MAR? KET.-In our but report the market closed without animation at 22 cents for Middling, and in I iveruool heavy at 9?;d for Upland. On Saturday there was a large business dono for speculation and export on indications from the South of rapid falling off in the receipts in Maren, Middling opened at 22c and cloted at 23c. Sales 13,000 bales. The demand on that day took off most of the Cotton offerim:. On Monday only 1900 bales were sold, and there was a very sma?l supply on thc tables. Market dull but steady at 23c. In Liverpool price-; declined Jjd, owing to tho very heavy exports last week. Middling on the rpot 9d, and to arrive ?;?d. Tuesday there was more de mand, and prices improved ), cent under more favorable advices from Munche.-ter aud Liverpool, and telegrams from the South, of 1. ss receipt?. Tue sales roache J 5700 bales at23jjc. On Wednesday morning the effect of large orders to bar, lor American account, was felt in Liverpool, and prices advanced >:d to s',a, with sales ot 23,000 bales. Here Middling rose' tn 26", with sales of 10,000 bales. 1 hursdav there were large sules (10,000 bales) and a buoyant feeling until late m the day, when there was some anxiety among specu? lators to sell at a cc ncession. All lots offered at less than the market price wera taken, and prices closed steady at 25c. To-day th?re was not much demand until late, when better news from Europe was receiv? ed. The sales reached 6800 bales, at unchanged quo? tations. The gross receipts, at this port, for thc week have been 27,540 bales, of which 1523 were forwar Jed to spinners. The principal cause of thc advance this week has been a probability of a rapid falling off In the receipts. Tho information receiveon this subject last week has proved to be correct-the re? ceipt? have fallen off in one week from 91,000 balos to 78,000 bales. The very Iprosperous condi? tion of the trade, here and in Europe, add* to the confidence now felt in higher prices. Just at this time thc shipments from India have more co do with the future course of prices than even our receipts. Last year, at thia Urne, there were at Bea 179, ?Klbalas, and now only 115,000 balea. On the 15th ?of March, 1867, the amount increased to 235,000 bales, and on the 22d of March to S02.000 bales. The confmnption ls going on at so large a rate that, unless India Banna a greater quantity than is now estimated, the balance of this crop and the whole stock would not he a sur ficient supply. The conclusion we arrive at ia, that prices will advance to a point that will sooner or lat&r stop th? consumption. What that point may be re? mains to be seen. ., . RECEIPTS AND EXPOBIS.-The receipts tais week have been 77,451 bales, against 58,000 bales the COT responding week last year, and the foreign exports 55,685 bales, against 58,000 bales in 1807. The to? tals, so tar this year, can be seen ia the tables given above. Our Galveston dispatch has not been re? ceived, and we have estimated the receipts at thai place. Tho stock in Memphis on the third of Maren was 13,230 bales, and on February 20th it was 2C, 079 bales. At Augusta, Ga., the receipts last week were only 2610, and 5400 bales the week before.

PHATE OF LIME. rpHE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN BELOW JL of planters during th j past season, fully establish all the advantages claimed for this well-known FER? TILIZER: Received the highest premium awarded to Fertil? izers, by the American Institute o? New Tort, held October, 1867. For foll report, with analysis mode by the Com? mittee of the Institute, composed of Dr. C. E. BUCK, Professor J. G. POHLE, and other prominent Chem? ists, sec pamphlets. The distinguished feature of this SUPER-PHOS? PHATE rrom other similar Fertilizers is, that all of its inyredien's are of animal origin, and are either soluble in water, or m a condition to quickly become soluble in tho soil and betaken np by the crop. Contains no inert or minerai materials. The proper relative proportion of thc ingredients in MAPES' SCPER-PHOSPHATE to meet the re? quirements o'the Cotton crop on Georgia and South Carolina soils, is folly proved by the experience of planters who testified that wherever applied, teen to land -lof'tf for rusting cotton, the disease is entirely corrected, and a healthy, vigorous growth produced. On tte ?ame land Peruvian Guano and other fertil? izers have failed to secure a healthy growth. LEPOSTS moat PLANTEES, 1SC7. For Letters in full sct Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. ?L ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes: Applied at tho rate of 150 to 200 pounds per acre on 11th April, on 22 acres blue clay land, a good deal worn from being planted in cotton from 1857 to 1867, with only one year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy rain, and gules during the spring and summer, about the first cf september the crop on this field was estima? ted by some of cur best judges to promise a yield of 180 to 200 pounds fine Sea island Cotton Lint to the acre. Notwithstanding the ravages of the caterpillar, the first cotton picked was from the field on which M APES' PHOSPHATE was used, and it has made about C5 pounds to the acre, while no other man? ured land made over 45pounds. Has neel MAPES' PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden with satisfactory results. THOMAS 3. SALTEE, Washington County, Ga., re? porta that seventy-five pounds per acre on old land increased both the Cotton and tho Com three-fold. Considere it far more economical than Peruvian Guano. Lr. E. PASSONS, Sanders ville, Washington County Ga., says: "My observation is that M APES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has about doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn. Has done better than Peruvian Guano per pound." J. W. SCOTT, of some section, reports: ?That his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was far more effected by drought and excessive rains than where MAPES' SUPEH-PHOSPHATE was used. Shall use MAPES' in preference to any fertilizer he has seen used by his neighbors." W. H. SPARKS, Eatonton, Ga., reporta: "On land about half covered with sedge, and which had not been cultivated in two years, when the m anu?a waa put on, badly manured, crop would yield two pounds where the unmanured would vlei 1 one." B. B. Hi MILTON, Americus, Ga., reports: "Obtained the most satisfactory results from MAPES* 8UPEB-PHOSPHATE, applying it as a top dressing. Considered to have had the best garden this year in Southwestern Georgia." W. J. A2TDEB60N, Fort Valley, Ga., reports: "MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has doubled the crop of cotton in every case reported, and some re? port lt has more than doubled their crop. On wheat and oats the results are very satisfactory." D. A. WARNOCK, Beach Branch, S. C., reports: "On land which always rusted cotton, increased the crop twofold; as fine cotton as he has seen this year. Prevented rust Four rows unman ured rust? ed in AugUBt Everything the MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE was tried on did weih Cotton stood thc cold weather In Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; has beat Annum Guano in his neighborhood. Believes it to be the BEST Manure now in use." E. R. LILES, Lilesville, Anson County, N. C., re? ports: . "As compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's Super-Phosphate, the result was decidedly iu favor of MAPES' SUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be? yond doubt, to the fact that thc ravages of tho rust were not, by a marked difference, so severe where it was applied as where the other manures were." JAMES MCMEEKIN, Alston, S. C., reports: "Used a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but one half as compared with those from MAPES' SUPEH-PHOSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay subsoil. Marked difference in thc size of the bolls, in favor of MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE. On Cot? ton plants the iucreased growth was about 100 per cent" JOES R. HATB, Mims, S. C. : "Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma? tured at least two weeks earlier where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' SUPER-PHOd PHATE produced lu? pounds per acre more Cotton than Rhodes' Super-Phosphate, and 60 pounds per acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of each, ISO pounds, used to the acre, cultivated in the same manner. MAPES' bUPER-PHOSPHATE more than doabled the yield of Cotton." R. b. YENNING, Christ Church Parteh, S. C., re poits: "One application. 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE, per acre, made the cotton grow to the height of six feet, where it grew only two feet the year before. Considers MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT? TON, and would safely recommend it to all plant? ers." 8. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, S. C., writes: "Used 210 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can safely ray never saw a more vigorous growth impart - ed to cotton from the use of any manure. Satisfied the use of MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE pays hand? somely." Kev. W. A. Wran i WETHES, Valle Cruds, near Co? lumbia, S. C., reports: "MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has given perfect satisfaction, and that it permanently Improves the soil Has no hesitation In saying lt is the special manure for the turnip and Irish potato." P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston,Ga., writes: "MAPES* SUPER-PHOSPHATE has exceeded my moat sanguine expectations. The effects of its use on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was most marked. If it can be always kept up to the stan? dard lt must take the preference of all fertilizers in use." M. B. HUNTEB, Quitman. Ga., reports: "Applied at the rate of 150 pounds per acre upon every alternate four rows. The result was truly as? tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double the neighboring alternate rows."
