DRY GOODS.
Preparations for the Fall Trads---
Messrs. 8. LOwensfeiR & Bros.

The adventof THE staple" in quantities
is ever the signal for a general rtsurrec-
ton of every commercial interest in
midst. which during the summer months
has lain dormant and almost dead. Our
levees and streets. so long almost desert

If preparation for the fall and winter
trade. in every branch Of business. Chief
among these, and the most readily no

retail especially; for the announcement
mode through the papers or otherwise
that @new goods lave arrived and are
omen. is always sure to bring the ladies'
t~Tooping from their homes, and cause
their appearance in greater numbers on
the streets and promenades. This fall the
season has begun unusually early and
this phenomenon" has already been
visible for several days past, one of the
points where it has been most marked be-
ing the great dry goods emporium of b.
LOwENsTEIN GBRos.. 242Main street.-The
southeast corner ofJefierson. Yesterday,
and the day before, and the day before,
from "earIy morn till dewy eve"
the counters and sales rooms have
been crowded with fair purchasers
in such numbers that our attention was
attracted, and we, too, had the curiosity
to pay the Messrs. Lowenstein a visit, to
see the cause of attraction. Meeting Mr..
Bernard LOwenstein, who has recently
returned from Europe, he informed
Us that he had just begun to receive the
immense stock that he ordered, and that
az some day not far distant a grand OPEN
ing would be made, of which he would
give due notice; but that at present only
such very early fall goods as were neces-
sary were being opened. His trip to Eu-
rope, like that of others of whom
we ave recently spoken, had been
the practical solution of the direct
trade movement, and he, like them,
had succeeded beyond his expecta-
tons. By his arrangements with Eu-
ropean merchants and manufacturers,
especially the latter, his firm Is
enabled to sell their imported goods here
in Memphis at Neis York prices, giving
the advantage of the immense profits US
ually realized by Eastern Importers to
their W customers. The sort of goods
imported will appear in an advertisement
in our columns in a few days; but the
stock embraces silks, satins, laces, linens,
lawns, cloths, cassimeres, trimmings, nov
elites of all sorts, etc, etc. Having had a
look at these goods, we have no hesitation
in saving they are superior in quality to
goods usually brought to this market.
We were particularly struck with the as
sortment Of heavy silks, Satins and
velvets from the manufactures in
LyOns-especially some silks from the
looms of Bonnet & Co., which We believe
are considered the most durable that are
made. The stock of the very latest STYLES
of trimmings for cloakS and suits is end
less in variety and eNhaustless in guam
tity. Velvet and cloth clOakS in every
variety Of the newest YagaTies of fashion,
with such quaint names as Charmaise,
Pedrot, ,Mignon, Nalmy, HOngroise, Di-
ane, Pl0mel, Lavalliere, Bernoise, Tur-
enne, Martha, A~rmaghan, Don Juan,
Message, etc, etc, are amOngthe arrivals,
and as they have come direct from Paris
rs fast as steam could bring them, we
hardly think that any other house has
been able to secure them vet. Laces, in a
bewildeTing variety, of the most
costly Nalenciennes, Point and Gui-

are in store and arriving daily and hourly.
All these goods, as we have stated, will be
sold az New York prices, which, as we
nave shown in several articles on the sub
iect of direct importation. can easily be

perfectly on a par with New Nork-a
bonded warehouse-Ofwhich, however, we
will speak al length elsewhere. BY an ar
Management recently made Messrs. LoWen-
stein & Bros. have thrown the second and
third stories OF Nos. 242 and pa into one
large room on each door, which Is devoted
10 the wholesale trade, for which the
MeSsrs. L~owenstein have made i'm
mems preparations, their vast capt.
tai enabling them to purchase for
cash or short time az rates that defy COM
petition. They have also been enabled by
theEs same advantages to secure for them
selves several patterns and styles of goods,
especially ciOsks, accessible to no others
in the market. All Of these things viii
be made apparent to the trade and public
by Messrs. b. L~owenStein 4 Bros. on their
opening day, of which, as We remarked,
we will give due notice. The wholesale
business being entirely separate from the
retail, we would stale for the beneht Of
the merchants that the entrance to that
department is At pa Main street.
