The time has come for a ‘‘matter of fact” talk upon a matter of
fact subject. You buyers of fall and winter goods are about to Sup
ply your needs with suitable selections for. the coming season’s re
quirements. The idea uppermost in the minds of all, no doubt is to
procure something good and serviceable at the Very Lowest Price ^nd
with all of you it comes down to a question of The Right Place to Go.
You have no difficulty in deciding that you want to Buy
Goo s Ch-ap—no indeed! But what firm will do the best lor its
customers in that direction ? That’s the question, isn’t it ?
WELL NOW, WE WILL V.
Why not say it when we have the goods, and make the prices
that will prove the statement every time ?
We realize the fact that ‘‘times are hard and money scarce,” but
we have expended the greatest effort, in the purchase of our stock, to
procure Everything at the
VERY LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE. £
Our spacious store is filled to overflowing with the most complete and
elegant line of Fall and Winter Styles ever shown in this locality,
and from one end to the other, from top to bottom, it all the same-
just the Best Money Buys, just the Newest of New Styles. Every
thing bought at figures that make it not possible^ but EASY to sell
at the Lowest of Low Prices.
We call especial a l tention this season to onr
Black and Colored Silks, Dress Goods and Trimmings.

New Yobk, Sept, 83.—Tlie failure of
8. V. Whitt' & Co. continue, to be the
principal theme of talk in down town
circles. One of t:ie Wall street news
agencies scut tile following:
"White still declines tonmkepnblic
any estimate of his liabilities. Other
members of bis firm said no statement
ccmld be made nntil the result of the
transactions during the day were made
known. ” '
The some authority added t "The
amount of gram bought by the cliqne
for September and October deltvary
was very large. ”
The actual arrivals of corn in New
York the past six weeks have been
heavy, and the supposed agents of the
cliqne engaged vessel room Monday for
(100,000 bushels. A part of the corn
shipped- is understood to have gone
abroad, while a large aditional amount
was placed with a grain house here, and
we are told, margined down to very low
figures. Members of this house said
they should tie glad to take corn at
the price which it stood on their books.
The losses on the corn deal are esti
mated all the way from (1,000,000 to
(8,000,000 and add another to the illus
trations already afforded of tbe great
danger there is in attempting to corner
any of tbe great food products. ”
Some friends of 8. V. White & Co.,
tre confident that firm will be able to
resnine business in the near futnre.
This belief was based on the rnmor that
three or tour prominent capitalists and
operators had conditionally agreed fo
advance fnnds sufficient to help over
tbe firm’s difficulties.
