RUSH OF BUYERS
BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Arrivals More Than Fifty Per
Gent Greater Than at This
Time Last Year.

Yesterday was the banner day of the sea-
son at the headquarters Of the Interstate
Merchants Association, and the number of
arrivals was larger than ever before at this
season of the year.
According to the books of the association.
the attendance for the first ten days Of the
spring meeting this year was nearly so per
cent greater than for the corresponding
time last year. as the number of arrivals
has averaged ISL a day. and from present in
dications the number will increase as the
u. season advances.
Not only Is the city filed with buyers.
but most O. them are buying unusually
heavy stocks Of goods. and jobbers are do
ing a phenomenal business.
All of the merchants who have returned
from Eastern markets report that prices
and the variety and style of the goods Of
fered cannot be excelled anywhere, and on
account Of the favorable freight rates from
st. Louis to the West and Southwest. they
can do much better in this market than
elsewhere.
