Storekeeping 1s not the sort
that assures satisfaction to the
value hunter—those who
hope to find the most service-
able goods at very reasonable
prices , particularly just now
when everything is supposed
to be cheap. °
Once 1n a while you ’11 run
across something that may
perhaps answer your purpose
well enough, but the safest.
plan is to depend upon the
every-day, thoroughly up-to-
the-times establishment,
where anticipated values are
the rule rather than excep-
tion.
What you’ve wanted most,
and Which we’ve tried hard-
est to obtain at a low price,
are now here for your selec-
tion—colored Faille Francaise
Silks, for 49 cents a yard, that
are actually better'than silks
we have been selling at 75 0.
Colors are beige, brown,
cardinal, olive, gray green
One of the chief reasons
for our great desire to have
them for you is their suit-
ableness for any season of the
and their rich, durable quali-
ties—a combination which
appeals at once to your good
judgment and propensity for
saving.
Careful Shipping 011 your
part will fail to bring to light
a better cotton ski1t than ou1
light giay stripes, washable,
will retain their stiffness, and
only cost $1. and $1.25 each.

A PERCEPTlBLE HALT.
Business Has Slackened Somewhat
From Very Natural Causes.
CROPS WILL AFFECT TRADE.
There Is No Further Apprehension of Mom
etary Disturbances, According to R.
G. Dun & Co.’s Trade Review.
Failures For the Week.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—R. G. Dun 85 Co.’s
weekly review of trade says: There is a
perceptible halt which may deceive if at-
tributed to wrong causes. rade two
months late in spring pushed forward into
July 11. large share of business belonging to
April or May. Seeing a rush of orders out
of time, many imagined it ‘would con-
tinue and hurried to give other orders.
The jam of two months’ business into one
lifted prices. Then other orders came to
anticipate a further rise. But the mid-
summer halt was inevitable, and itis yet
somewhat uncertain 110w much improve-
ment will appear after it. The crop of corn
promises to be the largest ever grown and
is almost out of harm’s way. The crop of
‘wheat appears, from later accounts, per‘
haps 20,000,000 bushels smaller than was
expected a month ago, and had the best
hopes realized it would have been more
than 100,000,000 bushels short of a full
crop. Cotton has lost a little, and more
people seem to believe in 7500 000 bales
than belici ed in 8,000, 000amonth ago.
The year 3 business will be much affect—
ed by the crops, and the most hopeful esti-
mate falis below a full yield, except for
corn. Larger stocks than were immedi-
ately wanted have been taken'by traders as
prices were advancing, and these tend to
limit future orders. The general advance
in many products also causes reluctance to
purchase, and the distribution of the past
half year has been in part-to make up for
stocks and individual supplies depleted
during two years of economy. On the oth-
er hand there has been enormous increase
in the working force, and a considerable
increase in wages paid, which enables peo-
ple to buy more f1 cely. Apprehension of
monetary disturbance has been quite push-
ed aside. Strikes of some importance ap-
pear, but do not yet threaten to last long,
though a strike of coal miners may for a
time affect business somewhat extensive-
ly. The hopeful spirit prevailing in near-
ly all markets may find its warrant in
spite of some shortage in crops.
Deceptive Comparisons.
The volume of business shown by pay-
ments through the clearing houses is now
about 14. 2 per cent less than in 1892 but
being swelle (l by heavy deferred payments
early in the month the average for July is
only 4. 8 per cent less than in 1892. Rep-
resenting past transactions largely, these
settlements deceive if not compared with
care. Railroad earnings for July thus far
reported are 26.8 per cent larger than last
year, but 14.3 per cent smaller than in
1892, the loss being mainly west of the
Mississippi. East bound tonnage from
Chicago for four weeks has been 218,863
against 92,209 last year, when strikes dis-
turbed, and 225,333 in 1892, a decrease of
about 3 per ceiit. When a great wave
passes, a ship sinks only to rise again if a
greater comes. The wave resulting from
deferred spring trade is passing, but the
next may perhaps be greater.
All the indications show midsummer
lassitude. For the first time since the rise
in prices of iron products began there have
been some concessions to retain business,
and efforts of new works to get orders tend
to check the advance. In spite of this the
general average of prices is a shade high-
er, bar having risen relatively more than
mill iron has declined. he market for
pig is quiet, and, on the whole. remark-
ably strong, with the prospect of increased
output. Finished products 2110 generally
strong, with more demand than gun at
present be met for plates and 1 r ban.
The st1uctural demand continues lai go,
including 3,000 tons for one new building
at Nineteenth street, but the expected de-
mand for rails is yet delayed. Great spec-
ulation in copper stocks has brought out
some extravagant statements of demand
and profits, but 11% cents has been paid
in some cases for lake, and the consuming
demand is actually heavy. Tin has re-
mained strong in spite of large arrivals,
and visible stocks 5,000 tons larger than
usual, and lead is stronger in tone.
Large Business In Cottons.
Business in cotton goods has been the
largest in July for several years, reckon-
. ing deliveries, but not large as to new or-
ders. A further advance of one-quarter
cent per yard has been made with moder-
ate demand for some bleached and brown
goods, and prices are firm for sheets and
drills, while colored cottons are quiet with
occasional advances. The demand for
men’s woolens has been less active, with
some disappointment observable, while
worsteds have sold relatively better.
Wheat suddenly rose 3 cents on bad re-
ports of condition, but has dropped all
gain as the scantincss of exports is felt,
shipments in July having been only 3, 495, —
064 bushels, flour included, from Atlantic
ports, against 9,865,633, last year. West-
ern receipts continue very small,and farm-
ers appear to be holding for higher prices.
Corn is a shade stronger, although the re-
ports are decidedly favorable. Cotton has
risen an eighth in price, wholly on bad
condition reports. but at the lowest esti-
mate the year’s yield, with stocks carried
over, will exceed the world’s demand.
Heavy sales of coal are reported at prices
at least ,70 cents below the circular, and
the market is much demoralized, with
fear of auction sales.
The failures for 25 days of July have
been smaller in liabilities than a year ago,
amounting to $8,392, 727, of which $9,-
021, 822 were of manufacturing and 85,-
665,563 of trading concerns, while the lia-
bilities last year were 39, 016, 778, of which
64, 500, 220 were of manfifacturing and $4, -
331, 470 of trading concerns. Failures for
the week have been 261 in the United
States against 230 last year and 28 in Can-
ada against 44 last year.

Of 535 Contractors 300 Have Already‘
Yielded to the Strikers.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-——A rumor was cur-
rent today among the striking brother-
hood tailors who swarmed around Walhalla
and New Windsor balls that Meyer Schoen-
feld, the leader of the brotherhood, was
about to be arrested for alleged conspiracy
on the complaint of association contract-
ors.
“I haven’t been arrested yet,” said Mr.
Schoenfeld, when seen by a. reporter at
New Windsor hall, 412 Grand street, where
the settlement committee is receiving the
contractors who desire to sign the broth-
erhood’s agreement.
“I have heard the rumor. It is the last
trump of the Contractors’ association, if
there is anything in it at all. We have
beaten them so quickly that they are des-
perate, and may resort to almost anything
to get even.
”However, I am prepared to furnish any
amount of bail, and the strike will con-
tinue until all hands return to Work. I
have not violated any law of which I am
aware, but they may.trump up a. charge
to bother me.”
Leader Schoenfeid said that 300 con-
tractors out of 535 in this city had s1 ned
the brotherhood agreement and g ven
bonds. These 300 contractors usually em-
ploy 5,000 hands, and within 48 hours
that number will be at work in the shops
again under the new arrangement.
In Brooklyn and Brownsville, where
there are 6,000 brotherhood men and wo~
men, a majority of the contractors have
signed the agreement, and those who have
already gone back to worGf will be joined
by many more.
In Newark the strike has been won and
is practically over.
The last of the remaining members 01
the International union, Local Assembly
No. 465, of the Knights of Labor joined
the brotherhood today. Master Workman
Lipman was among the number, and he
was heartily welcomed by the strikers at
Walhalla hall.
The mass meeting announced to be held
in Cooper Union hall tomonow night has
been postponed until next Monday night
on account of the demonstration of the
locked out capmakers, to be held in Union
square tomorrow night.
