NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York, Dee. 1S.-It, was red
letter day for the bears on the cotton
exchange and OF reckoning for the bulls
who have practically had full sway for
several months. Traders in View of
developments in South Africa. expected
some decline III Liverpool. and conced-
cd drop OF several points here. Quite
in accordance with these ideas, prices
went off 4 10 G points without excite
rcnt at the start in sympathy with 4
two-point loss III the English market.
But 10 sooner had the opening passed
than orders came from all quarters TO
sell cotton, not small lots. hut great
blocks which had been held for weeks

accumulated on the late protracted
rise As compared with saturday S
close OF T.05 January fell perpcndicu-
larry to $50: March dropped from 7.SS
to cents. while May went off 50 points
to 7.09. Houses having extensive inter-
ests I'm stocks and securities were the
heaviest sellers, presumably for the

Shoes.

Such a commotion in our Shoe
department! Dozens and dozens
gone this week. Some of the
very "swell" things in ladies'
shoes are ahead of all others.
The ''Vassar" last in ladies' 50
and So shoes is cetainly very pop
ular. Mannish in its appearance,
perfect in fit, it is surely a desir-
shape. Call and see it. It'sjust
as comfortable to wear stylish
footwear as any other kind.
Styles are sensible now. We have
one new lot of mems shoes this
week which we positively GUAR
ANTEE FOR ONE YEAR. That is,
they must wear you for one year
or you get your money back or
another pair. How's that! Re-
member we guarantee them abso-
lutely; no questions asked if they
don't wear. Did you ever buy %
shoe that way? Better try it.
-Four dollars per pair. Nothing
unworthy gets into our shoe de,
partment except by mistake.
Therefore, if you buy a pair of
shoes of us, no matter what price,
ladies' or gentlemen's, misses or
boys, and they do not give salts
faction, BRING THEM BACK and
get your money or another pair.
That is fair enough, surely.

The goldbug newspapers are
working night and day in the hope
Of creating a prosperity hubbub
that will drown all criticism of
McKinley's administration and the
Republican policy of placing the
dollar above the man. They have
even invaded the farmers mort
gagged home and are brow beating
him with their loud clamor of
overwhelmingly prosperity"
is the way they put it. 1t will not
be for the want of noise, amazing
gall and the confidence mans ASST
rance on their part if silver is
smothered in the cry of great is
the Republican prosperity. They
bid fair to put in the shade the
famous performance of the Ephe-
sian silversmiths. This concerted
shouting by the gold press is about
all they have to advance for the
new departure from the American
to the English policy.
