For Fall and Autumn

The new goods are daily
coming In and every day
brings large additions to our
stock for fall.
Owing to the fact that our
purchases are made directly
from the manufacturers and
importers our selections are
most uncommon the styles
shown by us are Exclusive,
and are not to be found else
where.
Owing to placing Our orders
early before the mills become
busy we secured lower prices
than would be possible for Us
to-day ua1der any circumstances
the result of which we
shall Be able to save Our Gus
toners many dollars on their
purchases of silk and dress
goods during the coming sea

TO RECLAIM WASTED RANGES.
Railroad Corporations Will Try to Renew Grasses in Impoverished
 Cattle County.

Minneapolis Special to New York Times.
 A gigantic proposition, second only to that of the retimbering of the vast tracts in the Northwest laid waste by the lum- berman's axe and numerous llI es, is tha of saving the impoverished cattle ranges in Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana. Idaho and the Dakotas, which the railroads penetrating those States have undertaken. The perplexing prob lem which they first will try to solve is that of finding grass plant which will be luxuriant. hardy, and nutritious enough for, stock purposes.
 This work will be begun as soon as cultivation of the soil is possible this spring. In central range country some 5000 or 4.000 acres of land is to be fenced off. and this will be divided into thirty smaller plots. In these the vari- ous species will be experimented with, and it is hoped that the first season will be satisfactory and that the real work of reclamation of the rapidly wasting ranches may be begun next year. R. c. Judson, industrial agent for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. ill all probability will have charge of the experimental work. and representatives of all the other Western roads will CO., operate.
 The Western ranges nave been impov- erished immeasurably and injured by overcrowding. The sheep especially have caused a great deal of trouble, since what they do not dig up with their sharp teeth they punch in with their equally keen hoofs, and if punched beyond a reasonable limit soon destroy every growth except sage brush. As result of this deterioration Of the ranges, II now requires double the number of acres to maintain a given number of sheep or cattle as formerly. This has necessarily made the expense of operating much greater and cattle men have been turn ing othFrwhere for their livelihqod. It is expected that after the preliminary work has been done by the railroads the Fed eral Government and the Governments of the States affected will lend thelr financial aid to the movement.

 That is just what France needs. She lacks a man. On that point the aris- tos, the unwashed and the middle class es are for once in unison. They all want a proconsul who shall demolish the i'm tied liability company that runs the state.
 In the expression of that want is real Parisian gayety. In it too, is the hum of the bees. Whoever is able to recall both will have to come enVeloped in gla- mour, astride prancing steed. The only one competent to execute any such feat of haute ecole is Louis Napoleon-Na- poleon V.

NEW YORK. March 2e.-The receipts of cot ton at ports were not over i2ooo. against 23, 900 last year. sbut even this small move ment had little effect on sentiment. the bear point being that on all sides holders are re- 1uctant to let go since the market com menced to go down. On the other hand bulls accepted the decreased movement as a posi- tive indication of exhaustion. The market opened 5GS points higher covering of shorts No little business for Philadelphia ac- count was executed especially for May, and the early strength generally largely as- cribed to this. The main question was. is li- quidation about over. or will 1t be resumed on as big scale ever. Cables were points lower. Local prices lower after the opening, but there was little life to the market and a disposition to await new developments. Peo- pie who have confidence of a crop not exceed ing $500, 900 now admit that the figures to- day point to at least 10. ooo, 900 and how much more they are not willing to say. But even so they say supplies are Tot large enough to meet the worlds requirements and that expectations of much higher values must of necessity be based on a decidedly decreased movement in the very near future. The de- creased shipments of spots from the interior are ascribed to the fact that holders win not accept the current prices Either this fact or actual exhaustion. 1t is argued. must explain the slower movement in question. The margin between cotton and yarns has increased in the English centers and the mill situation abroad is said to be healthier than generally supposed

New orleans spot Cottou.

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-There was a good demand for spot cotton today at full prices though the market was not quotably higher Sales. 5.loo bales, including 1000 to arrive.
 The future cotton market was in a peculiar mood and there were sensitive fluctuations of a considerable width. The first figures taking the cue from New York, were about points over the closing level of yesterday. This in duced some selling and when New York weakened the local market sasged until the advance was about wiped out. At this point there was another bulish turn and values climbed steadily until advances of from to U points were established. March developed considerable strength and there a mar rowing of. the differences between contracts and spots. The trading was confined tn March May July and August and 1t was of pro- fessional character with little outside specu- iation apparent The market closed firm with net gains of 2 points on March, 9 on April, 10 on May on June 10 on July. ] on August on September and on October.

 CT at the Close.

NEW YORK March 26.-The cotton market opeT,ed firm with prices unchanged to points higher and Immediately after the call worked up an additional point higher on room GOV ering. The Liverpool cables and port receipts favored a steadier market here. while weak loEg cotton seemed to have been pretty tlor- oughy shaken out on the recent break of A points But within the first hour selling by Western longs and Inhalation by room hold CTS in the absence of expected speculative sup port allowed the market U suffer a fresh re- lapss. this decline only terminating when July touched 6. 55 and May 8. 50. For time the indications favored low level for prices on the present bear movement, despite bullish statistics and strong belief that reaction was naturally in order. Toward midday the more conservative traders. bears as well as bulls. cautiously bought the July and August contracts and a number of Wall Street sup porting orders made their appearance. The ef- feet upon prices was immediate and while the improvement was very halting the course of the market for the rest of the day was up- ward. Shorts became nervous in the last hour and bid July up to 8. 63. August sold repeat edly at 644. Claims that the weeks 'in sight" will reach about l20.00O bales insteal of 135 900 bales early estimated helped to rally the late market. New Orleans and Eu- rope bought here the upturn as did Wall Street commission houses The market was
 finally quiet and steady with prices net 2 points higher to point lower.

NEW ORLEANS. March 26.-Liverpool pur- sued the downward course and today reported decline of 3-64 in deliveries with spots marked of t32. The adverse turn of Ameri- can markets has doubtless exercised an unfa- vorable influence abroad. though the fact that Manchester reported a slow business In c'oths probably had much to do with establ .shing the decline. Urgent liquidation to all appear ances had been about completed this side and the market shcwed a tendency to recover little, but continued liberal receipts inter fered to some extent with efforts in that di- rection. On the whole. however. a stead.er tone was displayed and fresh support was rendered on the report that the New York Journal of Commerce would publish ex- haustive statement tomorrow showing that stocks of cotton at uncounted interior towns are smallest in twenty years. Closing Iuota- tions are 5d points higher than yesterday. The threatened strike at Lowell mills seems to have lost much of its influence. spot transactions have assumed larger proportions with the official quotations marked steady and unchanged. Attention however. Is directed chiefly to the movement and in view of the unanimous reports of exhausted interior stocks traders are apparently willing to wait a while longer to see If the perpendicular drop will materialixe
