New ideas are at a PREM
ium, and we have tried to
capture a few of them in
StuffS for Tailor Made "
Suits. The Tailor Made
Suit like the summer girl,
comes boldly to the front
each season aud holds its
place no matter what other
styles may be brought for
ward.
One of the most elegant
fabrics is Satin Faced
Whipcord. II is full fifty
inches wide and comes in a
variety of shades, brown,
blue, cadet blue, green, mode
and red, priced at 1888.
Another favorite will be
the Zibeline Camel'S Hair,
similar to Camel's Hair
Broadcloth. 1t has a high
lustrous finish and the stylish
oolors are blue, brown, battle
ship gray and cardinal. This
is fifty inches wide and the
price $3.50.
Last seasons Venetian
Cloth was very popular and
again we find it elbowing its
way past the broadcloths,
because it does preserve its
fine finish after much wear
fifty inches wide in all the
fashionable shades such as
mode, brown, blue, cadet,
heliotrope, plum and castor.

present year There is no trade. in brief. that is
, not in a healthful condition.
The year 1899 was one of the greatest, per-
haps, in the history of Wall Street markets
And the year 1900 should be equally as impor
tant. To the mind of the most careful business
man the good times have not ended There is
nothing in the situation that suggests setback
Everything points toward great upward move
ment in all departments of business for many
months to come. Overstimulation in business
and overspeculation in stocks are not features of
the current situation. Overspeculation in stocks
was eliminated two weeks ago. The coming
movement in stocks will not be based upon any
of the causes that support fictitious prosperity
as currency imitation, overextended credits or
mere expectations of coming business expansion
The countrys great productive power and re-
sources will be back of this years movement in
stocks

was brought to the attention of the board
of trade In the following resolutions:
whereas the honorable Secretary OF
Agriculture has, in his annual report, called
the attention of Congress to the Importance
to the Department of Agriculture of an
aboretum in which can be brought together
for study all the trees that will grow IN
the climate of Washington. and suggested
that the area known the mall be set
aside for that purpose,
Therefore, be 1t resolved, That, recog-
nizing the great benefits that would accrue
to the scientific and educational interests
of our country and its capital by the plant
ing of such an arboretum as is contem-
plated. the board of trade, in public meet
ing assembled, approves the project.
BE 1t further resolved, That the commit
tee on parks and reservations of this board
is hereby instructed to earnestly cooperate
with the Department of Agriculture in Sc
curing the establishment of this important
public improvement in such park or parks
in the District of Columbia as may be de-
cided upon as most suitable for the pur-
pose"
Considerable correspondence has been had
with Mr.. James Wilson, Secretary Of
Agriculture, and Mr.. F. V. Coville. bota-
mist of the department., and there is little
doubt but that the Secretary will have the
trees in the department grounds marked
within a short time. There is also great
hope that the District Commissioners and
the officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds will place suitable marks des-
ignating the trees in the different squares.
