As TO prices. I

As to prices. The Janu-
nry prices are still kept up in
every sort of carpet but
ingrain-there are many
hundreds of carpets to choose
from; but the new are
higher, not SO high as before.
Look over the whole stock
in a twinkling:
Best hve-iramc Brussels,
81, SI.15, SI.25, and SI.35;
81, for old, all the other
prices for new all nearly
alike in quality. The best
American makes of Brussels
are here, and few besides the
best. English, no better
very likely, SI.5o)
Tapestry, SO, 90, IS and
90 cents, the best in the
country at 90.
Velvet, 90 cents, 81, and
SI.25.
Moquette, SI.25 and $3.50.
Wilton, $3.50, S1.75, 81,
and S2.25.
Administer, $I.75 and
$2.5o.
Art squares those sizes
the same, a fifth off; other
sizes nothing off. Same as
before. Felt druggets as
usual.
Ingram on the market
level, lower than before the
tumble, but not extraordi-
narily down. We have
ingram from IS cents to IS,
hemp from 20 to 40, rag
from IS to IS, three-ply 90
cents and 81, Smyrna $I.I5,
and damask for halls and
stairs as usual.
China mattings are extra
ordinary, just as they have
been here for several weeks,
but more: fancy I2H to 90
cents; white and check IS
to 60; damask 60; and of
them all the grades at SO and
over are ~jointless.
Oil-cloths for table, stair
and floor. Lignum. Limo
leum. Cocoa and other
mats.
Hassocks and ottomans.
Rugs from Is cents.
The prices decidedly be-
low the market are for Brus-
sells, Tapestry, Velvet, Mo-
quette, Wilton, Art Squares,
Mattings; the difference
about a fifth or a quarter.
Our carpet stock was never
SO easy to see, never so
large, never SO satisfactory.
And this is the shortest
statement we can make Of
why we are doing the carpet
trade of the city and region,
why those who want carpets
had better come a hundred
miles or two to see, and why
hotels and steamers had
better come even further.
