4 COMMERCIAL ExIeESCY
So there are commercial edgencies
A very late spring oblfterates Ehe de-
mand for spring oveTcoats and spring
bats and spring apparel of all sorts
Hund.eds of thousands Of people say,
1T .eems we are going 10 have no
spring, and we shall 30 straight out of
winter i1to w8IIn weather, and we can
get along without the usual spring at
tire" Or there ia no autumn weather,
the heat plungLng Into the cold, and
the usual clothing which is q coxnpro-
misc between summer and winter is not
required It makes difference Ia the
sale Of millions and millions of dollars
ofgoods, and some oversanguine young
merchant Is caught with vest amount
OF uyssalable goods that viii never be
saiable again, except at prices ruinously
reduced.
The young merchant with a some
vSlss limited capital is 10 a predica-
nHe&it. What shall the old merchants
e. M they see the young man in this
avful cEtsts9 Rub their hands and
laugh and say: GOOD for him. He
might have known better When he
has been In business as long as we
have he will not load bis shelves that
way. Hal Hal lie viii burst up be-
Fore long. He bad no business to open
his store so near to OURS anyhow"

How much il bid for these out-of-
fashion spring overooats and spring
Eats, or fall clothing out Of datef
What do I hear IN the way of tadp
-Four dollars" Absurd, I cannot
take that bid Of four dollars apiece
Why, these coats when first put upon
tia market were offered at fifteen dol
lars EACH and now I arm offered only
tonr dollars. Is that alI9 Five dol

at FIVE dollars" and ne takes toe whole
lot.
The young merchant goes homo that
night and says to his wife: We'll,
Mary, We will have TO naovo out of this
house and sell our piano. That old
merchant that has had m evil eve on
me ever since l started has bought out
all that clothing, and 10 Will have 1T
re1uvenated, and next year put it on
the market as new, while We viii do
veil If we keep out Of the pooThouse"
The young man, broken spirited, goes
to hard drinking. The young wife with
her baby goes TO her fathers house,
and not only Is his store wiped ont, but
bis home, bis morals, and ais prospects,
for two wosids-this and the next. AnI
devils make banquet OF fire and FIJI
their cups of gall, and drink deep to
the health of the old merchant who
sRaiiowed up the young merchant who
got stuck on spring goods and went
down. That is one way, and some of
you have tried It,
A WAY TO SAVE HIM.
But there is another way That
young merchant who found chat he
had miscalcuiated in laying in too
many goods of one kind and been flung
OF the unusual season, is standing be-
bind the counter, feeling very blue and
biting bis finger nails, or Looking over
his account books, which read darker
and worse every time he looks at them,
and thinking how his young wife viii

she ever expected to i've in, or go to q
