Money.


RICHMOND, VA, August II, 1897. !.
1t is easy to make money whe1
all conditions point to a return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts?
We have conservative admins
istration. The country will be
governed in fairness to the inter.
ests of businessmen. The tariff
question is settled. The political
situation is such that nothing adj
verse can be done with the CURE
rency for three years. Liquids
ton is finished. Leading papers
in Europe recognize the deficiency
Of their crops. The United States
is the only country in a position
to furnish necessary supplies.
Exchange has dropped sharply.
Securities have advanced hand
somely. Reactions are natural,
healthy. and to be expected.
The market declined this week
from one to three points, but
promptly recovered, and is now
advancing.
In the great period of business
revival from 1879 to 1881, when
money was dearer, securities sold
much higher.
Strong people may combine to
sell the market down to accumu-
late cheap stocks, but the future
is bright with promise, and in our
opinion, all good securities are q
purchase.
There rarely comes an occasion
so favorable for the making OF
money.
Write to us for facts and figures.
Very truly yours,

DRY GOODS MARKETs

New York, Nov s-There Is a continued
weakness in the dry goods market, the
reductions announced Saturday by the
agents for American prints being decidedly
IN line with the present situation 1t IS
thought that other reductions in oo-rea-
tive Lines Will follow IN the near future.
The business passing in al. lines Of cotton
goods Is very slim, including print cloths.
Jobbers, 10th locally and throughout the
country, report @ very light business, and
retailers are still suffering from delayed
weather in nearly all seasonable lines.
WooIens anc worsted goods are without
change, and there Is still a lack of inciin-
alton to go ahead with business for next
year Until the present cordition OF Inc
wool market changes to a tone less vac!l-
Ia ting in its character. IN staple cottons
the presence OF only few buyers In the
market made today's trading very dull To-
ceIly, as mail orders were small. In coarse
coIored cottons the market is very dull'
with quotations unchanged, and stocks
still rather heavy in some quarters. In
print cloths. the market continues dull
