BE CONSIDERABLE.

THE purchasing public which views with amazemens
tinged at times with indignation, the sharp advance
in prices of practically all commodities, which has
taken place within the past year or eighteen months sees
but one side of the matter. Retailers who find It almost
Impossible to get reliable goods at any price are tho
worst sufferers from existing mmercia and manufacture
ing conditions. and the problems they are facing are be.
coming more serious all the time.
Establishments which have built up much priced repu
!ations for commercial probity and business integrity
are face to face every business day with conditions which
make them fear that unless a change takes place they
will lose the good will of their Oldest and most friendly
customers. This is not so much on account OF The stihr
prices which they are compelled to charge as because they
can no longer offer for sale, at figures which the ultimate
consumer will regard as reasonable, goods that can be
guaranteed.
Interruption OF the traffic in German dyes has had per.
aaps the most widespread disturbing effect. but there are
many other clements which contribute to the unsatis.
factory conditions. People who want things with fast
dyes. or that are guaranteed to be what they seem in
other ways, can get them-but they must pay. TO Offset
these conditions as much as possible many retail mes.
chants are doing bushes on a margin OF profit that in
former years would have been regarded as ruinous. But
there is a limit even to this method. for the overhead ex.

R FIRST
CHORAL CONCERT.

fT,HE WEST YIRGlNIAN extends to the Fairmost
Choral Society heartiest congratulations. 1t is an
organization that deserves the highest commenda-
tion; and one Of which the city may well be proud. The
FIRST concert Of the society, which was given in the First
~. 3. Church last night was a success in every detail and
each member Of the organization is to be congratulated.
The individual and collective effort of the singers was
al that could be desired and pleased beyond words to
EXPRESS o large and appreciatiye audience of lovers OF
good music. Under the skillful direction of Louis Black,
Airector. the Choral Society has attained that degree of
excellence which entities it to be classed in the first
,tank OF organizations Of its kind any place in the country.
Fhere was not one single thing about the concert last
blight that could provoke the mildest adverse criticism.
The sextet from Lucia evoked the greatest applause
and the choral sextet was forced to repeat the number. The
Interpretation Of the famous selection was splendid and
the reception It received must have fully repaid the Ell:
fort spent In preparation. The Anvil Chorus, from 'Trov-
ttores was ably done and thrilled every person present.
A word of praise cannot well be denied Miss Hazel
Book, accompanied. and Mrs. Lucille Gregg.Welch, organ.
tst, In, our estimation there is none who could give more
satisfaction at the piano than Miss Book. Favorable
comment was heard on all sides concerning her part In
ahe success Of the event at the conclusion of the program.
