WEED OUT YOU 5ToCg

The season has arrived aler mar
chants must move their winter stock
and make room for early spring goods.
It is very unwise for any business man
to carry over stock from one winter to
another for Llany reasons. BY keep
ing goods from one year till the next
the goods become shop worn and no
longer have that new, fresh and in
vfting appearance that attract the
buyer, they also bear marks of being
picked over and In very few, stores IL
any, are the lines complete, some num-
bsrs or sizes are sure to be missing.
% In order to have complete assort-
ment the coming year it is necessary
to buy these missing numbers to fiji in

ably make the feld-overs look the old

for not carrying goods from year to

NOT READY TO BUY SILVER.
Secretary Shaw Maintains Position
on Purchases by Treasury.

on Purchases by Treasury.
Despite the general need throughout
the country for currency of the small de-
nominations, the Treasury Department
does not feel justified in resuming pur-
ehases of silver for coinage at present.
When these purchases Of silver were
suspended recently because the price of
bar silver had steadily risen to a pro-
hibitive figure, Secretary Shaw was pretty
well satisfied that a deliberate attempt
was being made to hold up the govern
ment He announced that he would buy
no more silver until the price became
lower.
He thinks that the presence of the
Mexican government in the market as
a frequent buyer OF silver also has been
an influence toward high prices.
The Treasury Department believes that
the Mexican government will cease buy
ing within the next three months, and
until that time this government viii make
no further purchases.
