HINTS ON COLORS. 398 lure, as, in the grade of cloth used for carnages, its coloraare more durable than those of French and German man-ufature. High colors in American carriage cloths will notstand the sun. The most elegant material for coaches is coteline,* asilk and cotton fabric, the best of which is made at Toura,in France.
