Of generous proportions. Although sta
pie dry goods Is being sought on such
q scale that here Is q fear Of reac-
ton in prices In Summer, the retail
buying Of wearing apparel to date Is
only for current needs.
Some of the bigger department and
chain stores, according to bankers, have
set aside special reserve funds with
which staple and standard goods Of all
deScriptions-that Is, where the ele-
ments of fashion and style do not en-
ter-might be bought ahead SO that
these stores might profit from the gen.
eral inflationary movement.
Ideal Spring weather In some Sec
tions brought out record crowds, whose
buying of women's wear, millinery,
mems clothing. hardware. farm and
garden tools and groceries, proved to
be the best Of any week In 1888. House
furnishings, carpets, rugs and paints
also moved briskly.
Despite the broader buying, retailers
in most cases have not yet marked up
prices. The imitation talk has lessened
the number of promotional sales It
has tended to emphasize quality rather
than price. It has checked clearance
sales.
Activity Above Normal.

markets Is continuing above the nor

state. with buying prolonged far be-
yond the usual limits, cannot be at
tributed solely to the desire to cover
future requirements. For the reports
that the orders placed are for actual
requirements.
THE furniture trade, which has been
in the doldrums for q rather long
time, now is giving evidence Of some
recovery: there Is better demand and
dealers stocks are low. Refrigeration
equipment houses report further i'm
provement. although competition In the
industry is keen; some plants have
doubled their output of last season."

Egyptian armies, even though their
national integrity remained unbroken
and their loyalty to Jehovah undis-

wickedness.
=, Habakkuk is thought to have utter
ed his prophecy between 625 and 600
B. C. Many important events were
taking place in the Gentle world at
this time. Babylon gained her indie
pendence from Assyria and destroyed
Ninevah. Another evidence of the
Babylonian supremacy in the ancient
world, of this period was the defeat
of Egypt in the battle of Garchmish.
In $50 the Babylonians invaded Ju-
dab, burned Jerusalem and carried
away the chief of the rulers and no.
bility as captives to Babylon. Just
before the destruction of Jerusalem,
Habakkuk complains to God that his
nation should be destroyed by a nation
more wicked than themselves, as the
instrument of the Divine wrath. He
is assured that Babylon and her gods
would yet be destroyed, and that Ju-

in the whole earth. Brute force was
not to be the arbiter of human des-
tiny. Righteousness would finally ex-
alt the nation and the earth "filled
with the knowledge of the Lord, as
the waters cover the sea-"
Faith is the keyword Of this book.
AS interpreted in Habakkuk's mes
sage, faith is the ability to feel sure
of final victory despite present de-
feat. Jehovah's people are destroyed
but it is not forever. Jehovah cannot
be permanently defeated; He will yet
be triumphant, and then will be a
glorious future; it may be delayed a
long, long time, but it is sure to come.
