New York stock Letter.

New York, Sept. 9.--TAe irregularity
and weakhess.of the past week In the
stock market has been due to a con.
tinuation OF liquidation of speculative
accounts and the prosecution OF the
bear campaign started early last week.
It's progress has been accelerated by
further apprehension In regard to the
possibility Of some furry in the
money market and the adverse senti.
mental effect on the uprising In Japan
over dissatisfaction with the treaty Of
peace and continued political dis
turbances In Russia. There ls no
doubt whatever that the very favor.
able conditions OF trade and the as
surance Of good crops will In the
end revive confidence in the future
stability Of the market and ultimately
higher prices. but for the present
nothing better than a traders market
for small quick returns to be ex.
pected and we would only favor pur.
chases Of the better class and more
active stocks on the breaks on weak
days under the existing conditions,
then only with view Of scalping out
q moderate profit by liquidating prop.
erly on any rally. LOGAN & BRYAN.

than the establishment OF the largest
department store in New Mexico. In
order that better display of their
merchandise may be effected and the
departments may be segregated to bet
ter advantage, gallery, six and a half
feet wide will be built around the
interior of the main salesroorn. Also,
1t Is the intention Of the firm TO add
a third story to their large building.
The present space has been found
to be far from ADEQUATE to answer
the nexfs OF the establishment. Partly
rs result OF the natural growth Of
their large business. partly with a
view to supply the demand created by
the decision Of Chas Ilfeld to confine
himself. hereafter, to the wholesale
business. Mr.. Bacharach, on his re.
cent New York trip. bought very
much larger and finer stock than us
ual and this stock Is already begin.
ming to arrive.
II is the intention Of the firm to
push the improvements as rapidly as
possible. ITO please the ladies of
Las Vegas" Mr.. Bacharach announces

Is proposed TO sell everything In the
enlarged store that can be obtained
from the biggest department stores in
the land.

the progress nf the mercantile inter-
ests of this city.
