NOT SO GOOD.
The Business SituatiOnThrOugh-
ont the Country,
Is Not So Favorable This
Week.
TWO CITIES IMPROVE.
But No Signs for the Better
Elsewhere.

NzR YORK, April 2s.-Bradstreet's
says: 1.-THE general business situa-
ton throughout the Unified States is
less favorab BILE, as is shown by reports
from more than fifty important dis
tributing centers. A specially de-
pressing influence is the strike of I47,-
600 bituminous coal and coke opera
tives in twelve states.
Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and
Duluth are feeling the strike, the eff
feet in vessel interests at these and
other lake ports being very discour-
aging. Duluth ore shipments are de-
layed for want of return coal cargoes
and railroad companies have begun to
discharge coal train employees.
''Only two cities of thirty-five re-
porting in Central, Western and North
western states report material inn
provement in general trade this week
indianapolis and Kansas City; even
at those points the gain is slight. Ac-
tivity in the stock market is checked
by the la Dor distur Dances and the de-
lay in reaching conclusion on the
new tariff bill Professional operators
incline to depress the railway share
list by means of short sales. The
market, however, is narrow and sub
iect to reaction.
1.-The decrease in liabilities of firms
failing still continues, and the aggre-
gate reported for the third week of
April was only 81, 1872, 462, and for three

The biggest and most comprehensive
sale we have ever had begins Tuesday,
the 1st of May.
Biggest inasmuch as we have more
goods to offer you than ever put in one
sale; most com prehensive, since we
dive deeper into the inexpensive goods
and reach higher into the expensive
articles of merchandise.
We intend to make this an euent not
an incident in the history of our bust
ness Having gathered from the four
quarters of the globe merchandise of
all descriptions, except that which is
worthless, we are going to offer you
practical seasonable merchandise, at
prices that will make you a quick
buyer
We have determined that this shall
be the greatest May Sale on record,
and it will be.
Our New York buyers have ralxed the
market fore and aft, and with their
ready cash and good judgment have
taken from the jobbers, manufactur-
ers, and auction rooms goods at I'M
heard-Of prices
This, under the market bought, stock
will be ready for your inspection Tues
day, May 1, when we wish to see you
here and ask that you examine care
AhAAys (AAbACdAAys IAAC zig 4Ob VI BOO0S-
Test in every way you wish the quail
ties of the different fabrics. from the
less expensive to the very finest product,
for then the crowds of buyers will in
crease daily
Note the price tickets that each pile
of goods bears Each one tells its own
story of value-its own story of price
Take look at each counter. Simply
saying to you that certain goods are
bargains does not make them so.
Take train and come to the store
and see for yourself and then judge
if we have not been too modest in our
expressions While looking keep in
mind that the qualities are all such as
you have proven right by years of deal
ing with us
As an illustration of some Of these
bargains we viii quote you a few
prices, but remember that the number
here quoted is but very small pro-
portion of the whole.

jected to the unanimous consent, and
Mr.. A1drich. with some difhculty, re-
ceived recognition He explained
that, while he offered to vote on the
house bill, he had only asked the
Democratic senators if they would
vote on the senate bill Further than
this he made the proposition to the
senate and not to q Democratic eau
Gus, which he intimated had been
held since his proposition had been
made. He was accused of backing
and clubbing, and Senator White Of
California intimated he had been
bluffing and been called" and also
the senator from Rhode Island would
probably understand the term
called"
The senate and spectators knew,
and audible demonstration followed
the sally.
Mr.. A1drich evidently knew what
was meant, and replied by saying that
it was not common in places where
the words were applicable to allow the
adversary two hours to look over his
hand before making the call, and that
was what the Democratic senators
had done
Senator Teller stated his objections
to vote in vigorous terms, and in an
allusion to the compromise tariff bill,
brought out vigorous denial by Senator
Voorhees, that any other bill was in
existence. But the interest in the
battle had disappeared, the buEle
sounded retreat and the most
dramatic incident in the senate tariff
de bate closed.
