A few days ago wo looked through the
large mercantile establishment OF 4. y.
AcIlwaiu, and found that no has this
time bought on a larger scale than ever
before. and hiA two large rooms arc full to
overlooking with all kinds OF goods--in
fact we have noA seen such large stock In
Oregon outside OF Portland.
His limo OF shelf hardware II very COM
pieto and embraces almost everything in
that line that u man can want and as he
buys In San Francisco AMI tho East, ho
can undersoll all others.
In tho limo Of hats and caps. boots and
shoes, he exceis all others aud IN priccs
deiies competition.
In queensware he has full stock and
somo OF the most beautiful new desigus
wo have ever seen.
==In dry goods, though Is where the ostab-
lLshment shows up 10 best advantage.
The proprietor displays great taste and
judgment in buying goods for this mar
kst, and for some reason In able TO sell
much cheaper than any one else. In the
line OF cashmeres alone he will soil 25 poE
cent lower than any other establishment.
Go around and sec him, spend an hour OF
two there. and learn his prices.

Insurance and FIre sisms.

Harry Boyd, agent la Oregon for tho
Hsn burg. Bremen Insurance Co., came
up from Portland last Friday noon and
adjusted tho loss sustained by Il. SchioG-
ser In tn lato Chinese are lie agreed TO
pay the full amount OF tho Insurance
$3.50, and Ar. Schlosser will probably
receive his money soon.
The loss sustained by Sam Cshen by
the recent Ore At Soap Creek has beon ad.
Justed and paid. Il was insured with
Stewart q Grey In tho North British aud
Mercantile Insurance Co., and they paid
over the SUM OF $1,000.
Matters are al . dead lock between the
Home Mutual Insurance Company and
Kwong Now Co. The Chinese firm claim
they have sustained . loss or $500, aud
the insurance company offers them 5000,
claiming that tho stock had run down,
and that the amount offered by them fully
covers tho loss. The Chinese have moved
the remainder OF their stock to tho build
ing In the rear OF Parrish's brick, and
Messrs. Story and bush, who represented
the Home Mutual, have goas back TO
Portland, leaving the matter unsettled.
The "RegIster" bsIldIng will probably
be rebuilt soon.
Peter Schlos YER IL now cleaning up the
debris at tlts scene OF the late Chinese fro,
and viii sosn. put up pew building on
tho same site.

Especially Ter the Ladies.

This local Is written for the special pur-
pose of inviting all the lady readers OF the
DEMOCRAT to attend the grand spring
opening OF tho fashionable millinery es-
tablishment Of Mrs. L. J. Powell, which
occurs on Tuesday OF next week. Mrs.
Powell has been In business In this city
for several years, thoroughly understands
the wants of tho ladies, and consequently
Is extremely well fitted to manage such an
establishment as she is now conducting.
This year sho has made most Of her pur-
chases in San Francisco and the East and
of course can sell nj lower prices than ever.
She went below this week to attend the
openings Of the millinery establishments
ct Portland, and will thus be able TO add
quite number Of new attractions to her
store.- She has had the good fortune to
be able to retain for the present year Miss
French, whose long experience and natu-
raj good taste eminently fit her for the po-
sition which she now holds--that Of trim
mer.
Do not forget the time Tuesday, April
II and be spre to attend.

The Wool Market.

The last monthly wool circular itsncd
by Mauger n Avery, Of New York, does
n ot seem TO indicate very good market
for the spring clip, bnt this plan Ia always
taken ut this time by wool dealers for FORE
Ing prices down. Tho circular says:
"Instead OF the hoped for improvement
the past four weeks has developed greater
weakness In tho wool maaktt. Tho in.
clemency or tho SEASON. has retarded tho
sales OF both spring and fall woolons.
Manufacturers except In instances where
the goods have been contracted for, are
working with extreme caution, both In
thoir manufacture and purchase Of woods,
while the wool dealers and commission
merchants, who have held their own and
consigned stocks for months, in the face
ofadverse circumstances, are becoming dis
couragsd ~ 10 the stability OF value, and
arc anxious 10 close out their woods before
the now clip Arrives. This disposition TO
realize on stocks has eliminated during
the past few days, aud as we write Il o
slaughter is In progress. Those who have
boon hrmost Ia their views being now tho
most anxlous touDload, bat notwitbstand.

may deceive the unwsry. Men are not
yet conducting their business purely In
The interest Of the public, without hope Of
profit or reward, aud when the extrava
CANT assertions arc made of goods selling
next to nothing or cheaper than any one
else CAN SELL, In nine cases cut OF ton II
will pay tho purchaser to 20 to ssme house

value" for the money he receives. lie has
