Lupin's merino stands as
high in all the markets of the
world as Lupin's cashmere;
but for some reason un.
known to US nobody else in
Philadelphia keeps a general
assortment Of it. There is
no wholesale stock OF it in
the u. S. to draw from; and
nobody can get it without
order from Paris. But that
is no reason. Merinosis
wanted; Lupin's of course.
The only reason we can see
for not keeping merino is
that ladies who want it Will
generally take cashmere.
That's a very bad mercan-
tile reason, in our opinion. =
You want a merino dress,
or wrap, or baby cloak. You
ask a merchant for it. ). He
probably hasn't any; he may
have two or three two-year-
old colors, or black, too fine
or too coarse; not a mer-
chant in the city has twenty
colors and seven qualities
not one but Wanamaker.
No other house in the
country provides anything
like so many colors and quail
ties and makes of cashmere.
We sell more of evening
colors alone than some of the
largest houses sell Of all ;
more of the costlier qualities
than almost any other house
of coarse and fine together;
more Of Lupin's, doubtless,
than anybody else Of all the
makes. But this wouldn't
be worth the saying, if the
reason were not worth your
knowing, too. We have all
the colors in use, all@ the
qualities, and several makes.
The reason for having so
many is that people have
come to expect them here;
they all want Lupin's; but
they are better satisfied with
what they get, if they see
others. There'd be no loss
to buyers, if we kept only
Lupin's cashmeres and meri-
nos, and no others; but peo-
pie wouldn't continue to be
satisfied with Lupin's even,
without constantly
with others. And the only
way other makes can be sold
at all is by putting them a
triAe under Lupin's price. 1t
is is not superaHgous to keep
them. e
We sell possibly a tenth as
much merino as cashmere.
1t costs a triAe more and
looks exactly the same; but
it is heavier, wears longer,
can be turned wrong side
out and made over. 1t is
two dresses in one. Per-
haps ladies are not generally
good enough economists to
buy two dresses in one. e.
Cashmere--we're speaking
off, all-wool cashmere, : Of
course-costs SO cents to
S1.25 yard; merino, 90 to
$1.35. The colors and quail
ties of cashmere are too long
a list to think of; of merino
not so many, but all the uses
are provided for. s.
And this is about the whole
story Of all-wool cashmere
and merino here; and here
is the better part of the cash.

one counter.

legislature honors who have proved them
selves true friends of organized labor.
The delegates went into secret session to
consider an allegation made by one of the
delegates that an attempt was being made to
have the federation to declare for one of the
national political parties.

Crop Good.
WASHINGTON Oct 10

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.
The department of agriculture reports the
October returns of corn average higher for
condition than in the past five years, but not
as high as in any of the remarkable corn
wears from 1875 to 1879 inclusive. The gen.
eral average is SO, which is nearly an average
of any series of 10 years and indicates about
&c bushels per acre on breadth approximate
ing 10000, 900 acres. The wheat crop will
exceed that of last year by about 100, 900, 900
bushels.
Threshing is slow and late with the results
confirming the indications of former reports
The yield per acre average about l33 bushels
The quality of the crop generally is very
good. especially in the Eastern and Middle
States on the Western slope of the Alleghen-
les, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The average for the entire breadth is 90.
The indicated yield of rye is above the
average. being about q bushels to the acre
and making the crop spproximating 570.000,-
600 bushels, of good qualitv.~
Barley makes a yield of nearly % bushels
per acre and the product exceeds sc. 200, 600
bushels, of good quality.
The condition of buck wheat averages 81.
indicating the crop slightly under the aver
age.
The condition of the potato crop is repre-
sented by IS.
The October returns Of cotton mediate a
reduction of nearly 5 points, in average con-
iiiion, from s2.5 to "A as result of the
continued drouth in arresting development
and destroying the validity of plants.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF Commissioner Mcfarland OF the Gem
eral Land Office.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Commissioner Mcfarland of the general
land office has submitted to the secretary of
the interior his annual report.
The sales, entries and selections of public
land embraced 1884. .04l acres, and OF In
dian lands, 6S7, ,l29 acres, making total of
27, ,43l, 10; an increase over 1888 of Sll ,l37
acres. The receipts from disposals of pnblc
lands were Sll SAC, 1898; from the sales of
Indian lands, 1888, 1877; total. Sl2, ,179, 1870,
being an increase over 1888 of Sl.073, 1864.
The total receipts for the year were ST., 1885,
405. The receipts from cash sales were Sl0,-
302, ,S52, an average of about 81 .32 per acre
Two hundred thousand acres were sold at
public sale at an average price of 1924 per
acre.
1t is deemed important that the homestead
law should be amended so as to require proof
of actual residence and improvement for a
period of not less than two years before the
homestead entry may be committed to cash
payment. The abuses grown up under the
operations of the statutes providing the lands
coveredsby REIMBURSEMENT shall be subject to
entry Immediately in cancellation at the local
Office and its repeal is suggested. For like
reasons the repeal of the desert land law and
lumber and stone land act is recommended.
The commissioner points out the necessity
for the immediate adoption of some measures
by which the natural forests may be pre-
served at the headwaters of important rivers
and tributaries, and in such other places
where their preservation is expedient for
climatic effect and other reasons of utility.
He says there is no good reason why lands worth
from S25 to 500 an acre for timber should
be sold for s1.25 to 81 so per acre as at pre- =
ent and he fsvors the withdrawal from the
sale or entry under the existing Law of all
distinctively timber lands of the United
States until an examination and appraisment
of them can be made.
