THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Opening bay at e. LOwenstein
s. Bros.
Magnificent Display.


Messrs B. LowensteIn & Bros. Of who's
extensive dry good establishme Mt vi
gave 3 succinct account in our Sunday
issue, yesterday had their opening day
Of fail and winter fashions. The day
was rather ~unpropitious for such an oc-
czsiOn, being very cloudy and sultry,
and threatening rain. This, however
did not deter the ladies of Mem
phis from showing their sppreci'
alton OF Messrs. LOwenstein & BfOs.
and all day long their c~spaciOus sale:
and show-rOOms were crowded with
them. The throng was greatest in the
morning from ten to half past eleven
O'clock, at which time we took occasion
to be present, and really found quite 8
difficulty in making our way amid the
crowd. The first point OF attraction, and
this was one that was the cyncsuTe Of the
eyes OF all travellers on that side Of Main
street, was the orEer
SHOW WINDOW.
Folded in pyramids, on the floor OF
the case, were silks, plain and MORE Gn
Hggs, o! almost every hue, scarlet, Grim
sols, green (MetterHich), blue, golden,
and pearl. Behind them, falling in
graceful ~festOons, were three most ex-
quiaite .sIlks,-s delicate rose, 8 white
MORE antique, and o chsngeaole green.
Broad banus OF silk and satin ribbon, Of
every shade; the most costly Brussels,
MeGblin, FalencieGnes, blond, point and
other lsees-some OF them worth thirty
five dollars q yRrd-Uere in~tertWined
with these fabrics, and Irish POplins, not
less beautiful than the silks, in q most
artistic and elegant manner Rich lace
collars, emOr0idsries, infants ciO2ks,
and 3 multitude OF other beautiful things,
were pendant from above, and served
TO heighten the effect. The side
window on Jefferson street was
not less artistieally arranged, the main
attraction here (which also showed
through the other window being a green
chanEesble siik. This could be seen 10
it, besuty across Main or Jefferson
streets, and was the subject Of much al
miration. Thess windows were arranged
by Mr.. Henry Davis, N employee Of
Hsssrs Lowenstein, and reflect the high
est credit upon his artistic taste. The
other show window, on Main street, wss
also quite handsomely gotten up with
motions" toilet articles, psrtumery,
TRAININGS, etc. by Mr.. Garden, another
employee.
THE FRONT STORE.
On the counters, tables, shelves, stools,
and, in fact, on everything that would
hold thena, were displayed bolts and bales
and pieces OF dress goods, OF every kind
and description. A novelty which at
tragtsd q great deal of attention, were
the stamped goods-skirts in all mate
rails and colOrs were stamped by some
new process, which resembles eEs brOiaery
very closely,-so closely indeed, Is to Ds
with difficulty distinguished from it.
The aping is raised, and in indellible
colors. The pAtsntse of this invention
has made q large fortune OF already
ibis season. 10 skirts, there were seve-
raj new styles-the Boulevard and a new
BslmOrab embroidered, braided, Rad
stamped, being the favorites. There
& very fine display Of en-.
broiderles, lace haudkerchiefs, and
fnfants' robes on q table in
this room. A piece OF popha, dis
played by Itself, also was the subject OF
much admiration and comment. The

enumerate the rich and varied display
OF his room, or 70 take even the most
glance, would occupy more time
and space than We could spare, and We
move on 10 the inner temple, the adytHm
Of fashion,
THE CLOAK ROOM,
where the silks and sstins, the costly
