English Grain.

The Mark Lane Express in its review of
he grain trade the past week, says: Six
weeks of thorough seasonable weather have
made wonderful change in the aspect Of the
country which is somewhat backward in some
districts, but therefore less likely to suffer
from any return of cold weather. Showers
have somewhat delayed the completion of the
spring sowing. Supplies of English wheat
are again small, both in London and in the
provinces. Prices declined shilling, millers
requirements being higher and the weather
favorable for future crop. There has been q
decline in foreign wheat in London caused by
speculative combination in America to die.
tate prices to western Europe. Red winter
which fortnight ago, was worth 80 shillings
per quarter. sold with dific ulty at shillings
per quarter decline. Russian sorts have moi
declined quite so decidedly, but the tendency
in all cases has been adverse to sellers. AT
the same time the decline stimulated the de-
mand, and millers in some cases bought com
paratively freely. The proximate cause o
the collapse of the ring was not so much ab
stention from buying on this side as the fav
orable crop prospects in both England ant
America. The official estimate OF the stocl
OF grain In London is larger thar
anticipated, namely, $4,000 quar-
ters against 100000 at a correspond.
ing time last year. Comparing the stock
in granary at the beginning of the year, there
is decline of $4,000 quarters. Maize, in con
sequence of the large arrivals, receded 8 to 4
shillings frem the recent highest point. Mixet
American extra shipment Is now20 shillings
Arrivals at ports Of call have been moderate
and trade very quiet for wheat at l shilling tc
shilling 9 pence lower, with only moderat
demand and on the decline. It is noticeable
however, that the continent has taken con
siderable proportion Of later arrivals. Maiz
sold steadily, although weaker. At the clos
wheat for shipment was freely offered, bu
buyers continue indisposed to operate, it de
clined fully one shilling and maize was 81,

ter, against 52,9Se quarters at Ais per quartz

adjourned.
House, April 14.-The bill passed
| auth orizing the secretary of the interior to
dispose of part of the Fort Dodge military
| reservations, to actual settlers under the pro-
vision of the homestead law. The House went
| into committee of the whole on the In

the money features of the bill was made. Mr..
Baker said that to many people it was mat
ter OF surprise that the United States govern
ment failed to govern the Indians as well as
the Canadian government Year after year had
passed away without the establishment of any
system which looked to anything bat robbing
the Indian and plunging the country into
war. The only fixed policy which the govern
ment seemed to have in regard to The Indian
was that which drove him from the face of
the earth. Mr.. Hooker gave notice that he
intended to offer an amendment to the bill
transferring the Indian bureau from the interi-
| or to the war department. Mr.. Haskell offered
an amendment increasing the appropriation
from $4,000 to $500 for the purchase of
clothing for the, Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
Pending the vote the committee rose. A re-
cess was taken till evening. At the evening
session the first bill considered was that pro.
viding permanent construction fund for the
navy. II was moved to fill the blank in The
bill SO as to provide that not more than ST.
100000 should be expended out Of the per-
manent construction fund in any one fiscal
year without authority of Congress Adopted.
1t was moved to strike out the word "perman-
ent" where it occurred. Agreed to- The bill
was then laid aside for favorable report to the
House. The next bill on the calendar was
that to authorize and equip an expedition to

tee then arose and reported the bill to the
House, and the main question having been
ordered upon them the House adjourned.

HOW TO
GET Clothing
under Price.

If we could sell a little
more Of this and a little less
of that, we could make
things come out even-the
last man that came in would
carry off the last suit; but
we can't. Out of every
stock there are a great many
sizes left when some are
gone. The best we can do
with these incomplete assort-
ments is to mark them low
enough to set a great many
people looking among them
for bargains.
This we do every day at
this time of year; and just
now we have enough of
such to stock a little store.
Besides, odd parts of suits
get left-coats, vests and
trousers. We have a room
in which there is nothing
else. There is in that room
cheaper clothing than you
have any notion of. We call
it the Bargain-Room.
These marked-down suits
and garments are of all
sorts; they may be among
the best in the store.
We force a continual clear
ance Of such articles as
would only embarrass us;
ard keep our stocks always
fresh and full.

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. Ifsamplcs can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants so
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in . respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
There-no matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail vO,1r-
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
riage than the money you
save in the price.
