ter served, both as to breadth
Of choice and lowness Of price
per quality, than before the
department store began We
do not think any one can
reply in the negative. The
Eother question: Is it possible
to suppress the department
store? No one wishes to see
the power or opportunity cen
tralized to the detriment Of
the people, but there seems to
be a natural law that is more
potent than the law of States.

The department store,
with its democratic manners
and its close-shaven prices,
gets too near the heart of the
economical consumer to be-
come an object of suspicion
in any way, much less a pro-

furore.

The general impression that President Nc
Kinley's Message to Congress would be a salts
factory document. from a Wall Street point OF
View induced buying for both accounts in the
stock market this morning Although the early
activity was not sustained after the receipt OF
the Message. there no indication that the
Street not well pleased with the Presidents
views on the various subjects mentioned. The
security market has been advancing for the last
twelve days on the expectation OF message like
that sent to Congress to-day. and II Congress
acts In line with the conservative suggestions
made by the President Wall Street values will
doubtless reach level considerably above
that now prevailing. Traders sold the list after
the publication OF the Message. but there was
no liquidation, and the majority Of stocks closed
at net gains compared with Saturdays final
figures. Despite the recent advance there Is
reason to believe that important buying inter-
ests are still In the market Moreover. the pub
