Rambling Talk !


About the middle of last March
the idea occurred to us to present
every purchaser of o Boys Suit
with a pair of roller skates. We
then ordered 1000 pairs (when
bought in such large quantities
the cost is but trining), and on
last Friday we were compelled
to duplicate the order. Inasmuoh
as not q single pair of skates left
our house unaccompanied by a
Boys or Child's Suit of Clothes 1t
will be seen that in six weeks we
have sold over 1000 Suits for
Boys and Children. This In itself
proves the popularity of our
goods, our pri 10 -, and our
m ct hods of doing business.
Doubtless there are q good many
parents and guardians who have
not yet seen our stock. our styles,
or our prices. To those we re-
specially extend standing in
vitation to visit our house at
their convenience, look through
our stock, compare our styles
and prices with those to be found
elsewhere. and then d Q G / d o
whether our claim to keeping the
finest goods and selling them at
the lowest price is a good one or
merely an idle boast. No visitor
is ever importuned to buy; our
experience has been that when
goods are needed our styles and
prices sell them without any eff
fort. We keep Children's Suits
as low as $1.25, and right pretty
little suits they are. We have
them in every grade up to the
finest made. We keep Boys,
Youths, and Mems Clothing in
abundance, selected with care
and attention. Our styles are
the latest and nobbiest to be
found on the American market.
Our prices are the lowest that
can possibly be named for such
goods and live. We fancy our
methods meet with the approval
Of our people.

TIE MARKETS.
A Better Distributed Business But
Very LittIo Advance in Prices.


Very Little Advance in Prices.
NEW YonK, May 19.-To-day was again
n traders market, there being no predomi-
mating news a1oat. At the close last night
the street was generally In favor Of higher
prices, the principal cause seeming to be
that the death Of the famous bear leader,
WoerishofTer, offered an opportunity to ad-
vance prices. The opening this morning
was strong, especially for The coal stocks,
In regard to which the rumors have been
almost entirely favorable OF late.
But the market lacked support evidently,
for after the first few minutes trading be-
came dull, and prices sagged of slowly
until after 10 o'clock. There was then q
rally Of small fractions, which eliminated
early In the last hour, when prices again re-
sumed tho downward movement. The
market closed heavy at slight advance
over the lowest prices. There was better
distributed business to-day, It requiring five
OF the most active stocks TO furnish one
half Of the days business. There were only
seven stocks on the list which reached
10000 shares.
The total sales for the day were $4,000
shares, decline from yesterday Of $1,000,
principally accounted for by the loss OF
nearly 10000 In Lackawanna and 1900 In
Lake Shore.
There was about tho usual amount Of
business OF sale In railroad bonds, the total
sales being $1,2S5,000.
Treasury balances-Coin, Sl2s, $40, s0i
currency, Sl3,020,6s7.

Abolished.

The Acting Secretary Of the Treasury sent a
letter to the speaker of the House yesterday, in
answer to resolution requesting information
regarding tho customs districts, in which he
recommends the abolition OF sixty customs
districts and their consolidation with contig-
uous districts Of more importance, where the
business justifes the employment of collector.
Nearly I'll of the districts recommended to be
consolidated are those in which tho expenses
were greatly in excess of the receipts in 1885.
and among them are Alexandria, Va, Annap-
oils Md, Petersburg, Va, and Richmond, Va.
In the Alexandria district 1t costs Sl.O7to col.
