column carries more interest
ing news to women than it
contains to-day.
Galatea Stripes, 27 inches,
IS cents. You should have
been told that the variety of
colors in this last-coming lot is
far greater than the first offer
ing in March. With the ad-
vancing season Galatea comes
to the front.

Satcens at IS cents were one
of the Saturday sensations.
What a keen market for re-
failing we have in our city!
Hardly had the news carriers
got the Saturdays papers into
the hands of readers ere the
procession began. The ranks
before the counters were
always full-charging away
upon this special lot. And
why not2 The goods are at
half.
But the regular Sateens,
I2H to IS cents, are going
just the same.
Northeast Of centre.
The plumed knight of the
stock-Wool Challis at IS
cents. There were 100 styles,
perhaps are that many yet,
although the daily sales count
up into the thousands of yards.
Won't last many days. A
crowd of buyers and pile of
stuhfs showing mainly white
wool. Never mind the meta
phor. That's where the bust
ness is. We told you Satur-
day that there's free wool" in
those Challis-that IS, you get
the a0o0l for nothing-pay only
for spinning, weaving and
printing.
Southeast of centre.
Dress Goods take snuff.
Millinery sneezes. This rivalry
of Departments is good.
Makes each buyer keen to do
in his stock the equal Of his
neighbor.
Probabilities point strongly
to a storm in Ribbons. Certain
disturbances in the conditions
that sustain prices have been
developed, values are unroofed,
and soon as the news become
current it is likely that there
will be phenomenal futtering
of Ribbons over our long
counters. The point at which
a value vacuum is created be
comes a storm centre of trade.
The Ribbons which make
our text are all new and bright,
even the paper boxes which
hold them are fresh, there is
no mould of a dead past on
them, they are born of this
seasons demand, and the spe-
cial lots in this trade are not
yet entirely through the looms.
The demand for Dress Rib
bons has been most extraor-
dinary this season, nothing like
it ever known before. The
very enthusiasm of the busi.
ness has carried some of the
great manufacturers both in
; Europe and America far be.
