A Special Sale of
Silks o7d Dress Goods.


Highly Important Announcement.
.sThe best that can be said about these fine Silks
and Dress Goods is too good comes tersely and
forcefully from the chief of this division. =.
A ringing truth. The most cautious and critical
examination of the choice fabrics only to en-
phasize the assertion The point to dwell on with par
cular keenness however is the ttleness OF the prices
Never before anywhere were such qualities onered
at such low prices, and they probably will never be
duplicated again like figures The dress goods came
from manufacturer retiring from business and are
priced at less than cost of production
The Tafeta Silks and the Louisiennes came by just
as fortunate stroke. Taeta continues all the rage
for Waists and Skirts. Think of high-grade Colored
Tafetas at 38c. yard It incredible; yet it's
solid, substantial fact.

one interesting outcome of this discus
sion of our railway situation las appear
ed in the reports at recent railway meet
ings. These reports contained plain indi-
cations that methods employed on Amer
lean railway systems are being increas-
ingly copied here. For one instance, the
chairman of the Great Eastern announced
experiments with more powerful engines,
whereby heavier single train-loads can
be carried The Caledonian is adopting
similar tactics.
The fact that English investors hold to-
day less of American stocks than for
many years has led to some predictions
that the present extreme pessimism of
your capitalists may result in the taking
up of some of their stocks in our market.
This would be dangerous.

action on realizing, with the closing firm.

local buying. Upon rumor that Iowa
State crop report was 40 per cent, there
came a flood of buying orders under
which prices quickly advanced. Late in
the day an official message stated the
Iowa report would not be issued until
next week. This caused some realizing.
The closing was strong, however. There

Mr. Parkers connection with the Metro

the beginning. The series of financial
deals made by him with 5. w. Woodward

financial history of Washington. Early
in that year these gentlemen bought out
a control of the National Bank of the Re

handsome return on their money. Before
this deal was completed the same gentle

still president of the Columbia National
Bank and a large owner of its stock For
n month or more he had the somewhat
unique distinction of holding the Office of
president of two national banks at the

The question as to whether Mr.. Keene

whether he can if he desires is "A some

is to the advantage of the Steel Trust
10 keep its securities up in price at this
time The trust owns vast block of
the securities, perhaps nearly all of them.
The public has sold out largely. The
trust, presumably, will now wish to sell
to the public again as soon as possible,
and at good prices as possible. Hav-
ing its 500, 600 go fund and ow, ing nearly
all the Steel securities the trust would
have little difficulty in holding up the
price of the stocks and even in advancing
them no matter what the steel strike news
might be. Whether Mr.. keene can hold
up the entire market or not Is another
matter. The chances favor him as long
as the market is dull. IL the billionaire
interests in general are In harmony with
Mr. Morgan and his plans. IL the Hocke-
feIler interests do not make an adverse
move, the chances in his favor almost
amount to a certainty. With the big in

nothing short Of a dire calamity like the
total failure of the corn crop could be
expected to break the market. Perhaps
even that would not cause a break until
there had been another advance in prices
so that some of the big people could
tighten their loads of stocks.
The outlook seems TO be for dull mar
ket for some time longer. As long as the
steel situation remains unsettled and as
long as the street has no authentic in
formation regarding the amount of dam
age to the corn crop, nothing except a
professional market, receiving tie support
Of MIR. Keenc when necessary, need be
looked for. Probably the street will not
be inclined generally to accept any crop
figures until the Government makes its
report on August 10, week hence. The
strike situation. of course, may witness
conclusive developments at any time. But
a victory for Mr.. Morgan, which could
be the only early ending of the fight, might
not have much effect on the market either.
Many conservative people regard the
present technical situation a fairly
satisfactory one They believe on the one
hand that prices will not be allowed to

and. on the other hand, that an upward
movement may occur at any time If the
news warrants 1t. They advise buying
stocks on the recessions.
