This is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL a word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
tie past few months we have added to our
stock IN various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, lew trickn ana quips in Jswelry, aud
30 on. We've got to keep up, YOU know,
with the strides of irYe tive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we iSiH sell very
close to move some of it. This il coed
time to renew household articles. Solid

DRY AND COOL.

September q Month without Much
Moisture and of Low Temperature.
September weather was peculiar in
two particulars--it was cooler and dryer
than the average, though it brought no
frost. The average in this instance is
obtained from observations by the gov
eminent covering a period OF fifteen
years, and this takes it back into the
years when moisture was not SO plenti-
full in this section as now. With this in
view the drouth of the September just
closed was of marked severity, only one
half an inch Of moisture falling. In the
years of the past, of which record is
made the September precipitation has
been: 1873, SO inches; 1874, l "a inches;
1875, 533 inches; 1876, 5 26 inches; 1877,
1923 inches; 1878, 1.36 inches; 1879, 2.84
inches; 1880, 90 inches; 1881, SCI inches;
1882, OF inches; 1883, 3,9S inches; 1884
as inches; 1885, 4 80 inches; 1886, 3.45
inchee; 1887, 6.70 inches, 1888. so inches,
Only upon two previous occasions-1SSG
and 1SS4-has there been less September
moisture than this year. John e, Clery,
| observer at the government sigma
station in this city. furnishes the fore
going figures, 10 which he adds the
following official memoranda for Sep
