The price is not the only surprise, th it should be remembered these best French and Irish Dimities are selling for 25c yard in all the leading cities. The greater surprise is that the largest stock and best variety in the United States will undoubtedly be here Monday. Another surprise is the fact that these Dimities cost the importer 19c yard to land, though they will be profitably sold here at 15c yard. The Cause of This and Other Bargains. “Dull times” are the primary cause. Then couple the ability and courage to buy immense quantities of goods just when other merchants lack these qualities. The result is prices phenomenally low—bargains that are surprising because exceptional. 69° 60c yard for $1 Silks is one of Monday’s coming bargains.

No One Authorized to Represent the United States at Brussels, Nothing 1s known at the State or Treas- ury Department in regard to the monetary conference that has been in session at Brussels for several days past, and which the press dispatches say was attended by delegates from the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Holland. The purpose of the confer- ence is sald to be to discuss the advisabil- ity of holding another international cenfer- ence for the establishment of a bimetallic standard. The latest advices from Lraséels show that the conference adjourned last evening, after deciding that the most practic means at present for attaining the re-e tablishment of bimetallism was that lutions should be brought betore the French and German parliaments identical with those recently discussed by the Lrit- ish and Belgian parliaments. It was also Gecided that the conference should con- tinue itself permanent until the monetary question is settled. It is not known here who the Unite? States delegates to this conference were but it is certain for one thing that the: did not represent the United States gov ment, for the very excellent reason that no one has been authorized to do so. It is possible that they were delegates froin a board of trade or similar organization in New York or elsewher The United States dele rational monetary conferenc sembled in Brussels in Ma; Senators Allison and Jones of Arkansas, Representative McCreary, Mr, H. V non, Mr. 5, B, Andrews and Mr. then minister to Belgium. That con adjourned without having agreement on the main qu metallism, and although no solved, has never been called to, again.

WARNER'S INTERESTING REVIEW Steady and Gratifying Growth Many Directions. << A PROMISING OUTLOOK -_— Talking with a Star reporter Mr. B. 1. Warner expressed very hopeful views re- garding the real estate market. “While business has been very much depressed during the past few years,” he said, “many desirable improvements have been made. The growth of the city has been steady. The rapid advance tn real estate has attracted to the ranks of real estate many men who are full of enterprise and progress. They are on the alert to make any improvements which will pa The style of houses which has t cted for the past ten years is greatly superior to those of former times. Stone and iron are more largely used as building materials and there ts a greater amount of taste dis- played.” Said Mr. Warner: n € “You cannot well judge of the growth of a city by looking over the ground for one year, but sce what has been in a decade.

We are sadly deficient in public parks, al- though there is a magnificent undeveloped territory which has recently been acquired by the government to the north of the city, and which, with the territory produced by the reclamation of the flats, should be utilized at the earliest possible moment “Our greatest need at ment is improved sewer: We can look for the early use of the great reservoir basin which has been lying to the north of the city, and which was intended for a beautiful lake, the present mo- but which has been a re- proach to engineering skill for the past ten years.
