Alexandria, Va. J Washington, D. c.
believe it is possible to build up much
larger tailoring business in Alexandria than
has ever existed here. believe also that
while PRICES is factor, the first and most
important thing is THOROUGHLY GOOD
WORK. In other words while men want low
prices they also demand good cloth and we'll
cut, and well made garments. have bought
both here and in Europe bigger stock of
high grade cloths than usual, and at advan.
tageous prices. have the best workmen
that money can hire, and Pm attending right
to business myself as have been these twelve
years. have carefully counted the cost of
everything have figured not how much
such work should bring but how little can
do it for, and Pm going to make the price
500 PER SUIT, and Robert T. Grimes's
well cut, well made TROUSERS at $5.

Generally Bullish Feeling Owing to

IReceived daily by z. A. Bowers & Co., brokers,
Washington Loan and Trust Buildingl
NEW YORK, Sept 19.-Seliers are show
ing much less confidence than buyers, and.
although the latter are pursuing an ex-
tremely conservative course, it need cause
no surprise if they should begin very ag-
gressive operations at any time. Such a
movement may not be inaugurated for some
time yet, but the air is filled with bull
talk based on the idea that crop deteriora-
tion has been underestimated. Receipts the
next three weeks will be regarded as good
test, and not a few are hesitating until we
have a comparison with last years figures
from now on to October Meanwhile, the
market is being watched more closely than
at any time before, in the expectation of
a big bull campaign ahead.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat steady, Corn Up, and Oats
Firm.

Wheat Steady, Corn Up, and Oats
Firm.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-There was a steady
wheat market although news looked bear
ish today. There was additional selling
from the same source that sold SO freely
ON Monday. Steadiness puzzled the trade
and induced some covering just because
of the mystery. The range was only 1-2c.
September was part of the time at the De-
cember price, but occasionally a small
fraction over. Bradstreet reported an in
crease in the worlds visible of over $780,
600 bushels. Northwest receipts were larg-
er than year ago, primary receipts just
about the same as last years. Liverpool
was off fraction.
September corn touched "a 1-2, an ad-
vance of 3-4c over night. Other futures
were up triie. New York interests are
supposed to be long enough on September
to produce some congestion, even if it does
not result in a squeeze. The contract corn
stock is only little over a million, and
the stock of all sorts of corn in both pub
lie and private houses is only three and
one-half million bushels. The short in
terest is supposed to be widely scattered
and probably belongs chiefly to the cash
trade West and East.
Oats were firm. There was important
local buying, apparently the reinstatement
of the long lines sold out week or so ago.
Prices closed IA to 1-2c over Monday, May
making the best gain
Provisions were were quiet and steady,
closing about the same as yesterday. The
advance in corn had sustaining influence.
Realizing by October longs was a prom
inent feature. The cash demand was good
