We have gone all through the im- mense stock of goods secured from the assignee sale of Beidler & Co.’s stock and marked it still lower. We are determined to make a grand sweep of the balance of it—and do it in the first half of the coming week. As low as the prices were at the start, they have been cut even lower —until the values we must admit are the greatest we have ever offered or know of being offered in all our years of retailing. We have to get ready for fall—we have to get ready for moving the de- partments—for establishing the new ones, and we shall do it at a loss if we cannot at a profit—and there’s but little profit in the prices that we have put on the stock now.

The jam at the railroad station, which does double service for both Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, has been tremendous this week. Asbury Park and Ocean Grove will com- bine forces Saturday night in celebrating the annual boat carnival on Wesley lake. Nearly one hundred boats will be in line, beautifully decorated with Japanese lan- terns and colored fire, afd all the houses surrounding the lake wilf be brilliantly fllu- minated with fairy lamps and lantern: Prizes will be awarded ‘to the most hand- somely decorated boats, and at the con- clusion of the pretty show an exhibition of aquatic fireworks will be; given on a plat- form built in the middle of the lake. Interest in the weekly dances continues unabated, and the masters ef ceremonies at the hotels have verywlittle difficulty in crowding the ball room.

Marked Advance in the Price of Exess the Feature. The feature of the week in the iocal wholesale produce market was an advance in the price of exgs from 12 cents to 15 cents per dozen. The preceding week there had been a move upward of 1 point. It is stated that for several days past eggs have never been so :carce here. The same rea- son that was trie last week holds gooa. Prices had been so much lower in this vi- cinity for some time than they were clse- where that shippers naturally turned their attention and also their goods to other mar- kets. With the scarcity came the advance in prices. A drop is anticipated with the reaction, but it is not expected to be more than one or two cents. Cheese also has moved upwacd. This ad- vance was to be expected at this season ot the year, because many of the factories stopped the manufacture, and the supply decreasing the price increased. There has been no movement in butter for two weeks, and the receipts are qual to the demand, which is not very vigcrous. The market is firm, so far as poultry is con- cerned, and in the way of fruit, peaches are not plentiful and are in demand.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. OCEAN GROVE, N. J., August 12, 1896. The most novel, and, according to the straight-laced conservative element in town, the most sersational, service that has ever taken place on the camp grounds of Ocean Grove'’s history in twenty-eight years has been planned for Monday éven- ing by Evangelist Charles H. Yatman, who for fifteen years has conducted the young people's meeting here. The service is entitled “Sons of the Night.” When the congregation is assembled, the lights will be turned off and the doors shut. The en- tire service will take place in the dark. During the hour not one word will be spoken by Mr. Yatman, or anybody else, if it can be helped. As soon as silence is secured music will begin to come from un- expected parts of the building. From one far-away corner will be heard the tones cf a harp; from another a zither, from another a cornet, from another an organ, and from still another a piano. There will also be echo songs and antiphonal singing. A great many of the camp leaders are looking askance at the innovation because they think it :s too sensational. They be- lieve that the people will attend it in great crowds, not primarily to be helped spiritu- ally, but out of curiosity. The old familiar faces are beginning to arrive in town for the annual camp meet- ing, which is to begin Friday of next week. From that date until August 31 there will be a concerted effort on the part of the camp leaders to get everybody in town converted. During each of these ten days there will be twelve or thirteen meetings between 5:30 a.m. and 10 p.m., and at least half of them will attend every one of them. The camp association has engaged between twenty and thirty evangelists who are to come and assist the regular leaders in ex- horting the crowd. Camp Sunday, the big- gest of all Ocean Grove's big days, will be August 29. Ke Mrs. Agnes Rowan of Washington Is at the Mulford. Rev. Dr. George V.

BUT FEW BALLS ON THE CARDS Miss Belknap and Mr. May Have Stood the Test. SOME OTHER TOPICS The midsummer gayety ought to be in full swing now, but at both Newport ana Bar Harbor the talked-of entertaining seems to be confined exclusively to the din- ner-giving set. There are anaouncements of dinners weeks ahead at Newport, but only a few balls or “small dances” are on the cards, with some musicales and sup- per parties. Professional entertainers so far seem to find more engagements at Bar Harbor, despite the fact that many of the cottagers have sufficient talent to draw upon in any emergency. Mrs. Barney has had no end of work, and amusement as well, over tie stage management of the Egyptian vaudeville, given the past week in aid of the village improvement fund, and in which Miss Barney and a number of other pretty young girls whose names are familiar here posed and looked their best. The ancient and honorable line of beaus, who take strong draughts of the elixir of life on this northern coast every summer, are on hand this year, and there are besides many younger men who are considered eligibles. The frequent repetition, however, of the names of a few men, who are by no means such tremendous favorites here, at home in the winter is strong evidence that ihe supply of the sterner sex dces not begin to meet the demand. Twe Russian noble- men, judgitg from their titles, have electri- fied Newport by arriving at just the proper moment to enjoy the best of the season. The President ard party are not likely to miss any of the interesting spots in the neighborhood of Lake Champlain. He is taking the real tourist delight in seeing the hts, an enjoyment which he has not permitted himself in a long time. Sur- rounded by the cabinet circle, who in turn are accompanied by those they like best, the happy family is quite complete. Mr. Paul May, whose engagement to Miss Belknap was a fresh topic of conversatioa this time last year, was in town last week. and his coming revived the gossip as to the proba! es of a speedy wedding. Both Mrs. and Miss Belknap are now out of town. It will be remembered that the parents of the young diplomat, who are Hebrews, objected to his marriage with a Christian, but would permit it if their af- fection stood the test of a year’s separa- tion. With everts in this delightful condi- tion of conjecture and doubt, there is ma- terial for many a gossippy conversation cn the part of the friends of both. When Mrs. Potter Palmer was at Spa, Belgium, early in July, she was the guest of the Queen of the Belgians at her villa for several days. She was handsomely en- tertained, the queen givng a dance, fol- lowed by a musicale, in her honor., General Draper, ambassador to Rome, and family have been occupying hotel apartmerts since they arrived at the eternal city, but have taken the Piombino palac2 for the fall. Its splendid apart- ments are now undergoing some repairs and refurnishing. It is a new palace and one of the best in Rome. Miss Mary V. Botts of Centre and Oak avenues, Mount Pleasant, left town Thurs- day afternoon. She will visit here brother, Mr. M. A.
