THE MARKETS.
Wall Htroet Harlow.
New York, Feb. 7. Today's market
for stocks suffered from the burden of
realizing safes and from bear pressure
due to thc'recrudcscence of the Cuban
scare. There were special elements of
weakness In addition. Lake Shore,
New York Central, Northern Pacific
preferred and other recent favorites
showed tho effects of a continuation
of profit taking. The coalers und the
grangers were In the mnln heavy,
Northwest being an exception. Quite a
number of stocks showed gains at tho
opening but. as a rule subsequent de
clines wiped them all out. A few
stocks were conspicuous for very vig
orous movements. There were noma
sharp gains also In tho usually Inact
ive high priced securities. The fever
ish and unsettled condition of the lo
cal corporations was noticeable In the
closing dealings. Total sales wero
421,000 shares.

Chlcngo, Feb. 7. Tho Influence which
the Lelter Interests have on wheat trad
ing was well Illustrated today. Notwith
standing news that under ordinary cir
cumstances would bo sufllclcnt to break
prices very sharply, wheat declined only

bid, a general covering movement ensued
which carried prices back to within ftc.
of Saturday's final figures. Corn closed
unchanged, oats added ftc. to the former
price, and piovlslons advanced Cal2ftc.

FEBRUARY SALE
Something of a Sensation
Was created last week when we announced our Annual February Clearing Sale of Shoes.
The prices we named in our advertisements were so.low that some doubt was expressed aa
to whether we really meant to give the public such garments as we mentioned in our ads.
Those, however, acquainted with our method of doing business, know that we only adver
tise facts, and the result was a crowded store all week. We do not believe in carrying
goods over from season to season but offer them at special sale at prices that make them
go quick. Every shoe in this immense fine stock is offered to you at the prices quoted below:
Ladies' Shoes.
Foster Shoes, $5.00 grade, now. ...$3.95
All $4.00 grades this mouth 2.95
All $3.50 and $3 grides this month 2. (5
All $2.50 grades this montl

Ladies' rrench Kid, hand-made,
u-tr . i i .. i t .!? nn
Kalller last" DOOt, WOI'tll $6... O.UU
In addition to the regular stock above mentioned, we have sorted out all odd lots and
lines which we will discontinue using and have placed them on tables at ' prices that run
like this: Ladies' and Men's Shoes, regular $4.00, $5.00 and $6.00 grades, at $1.50, $2,
$2.50 and $3 a pair. Some cheaper grades of both Ladies' and Men's wear marked $1
and $1.25 that were from $2 to $3 a pair.
In Children's Shoes we have almost anything, and the prices are as correspondingly
low as the ones already mentioned. Besides the regular lines you will find on tables lots
worth $2.00 and $2,50 a pair, at $1.00. Little Gents' Shoes, "all sizes;" regular $1.25
grades, at 80 Cents.
It's hard to describe the many bargains we are offering and it's equally as hard not to
try, but the best way is for you to call and convince yourself,
you want, you can't help getting a bargain.
