YOU may have an idea, because
they're all-wool, and so good in
quality and style, that Hart Schaffner
& Marx clothes are expensive, but if
you'll think about it a little, youll see
that such clothes are really economical.
It's the old truth that a thing is cheap
or dear according to what you get,
rather than what you pay for it.
Hart Schaffner & Marx
fine suits at $20 and up
Copyright Hurt BciutTnor & Marx
Such clothes as these have the quality you'd pay a good
custom tailor double for; you couldn't surpass the style at
any price. FIT GUARANTEED.

Local Market*.
following are tne prices prevail-
ing in Brenham Wednesday:
Rggs, 27 l-2c.
Honey, 8c.
Shelled corn, $1.55.
liutter, 15 to 35c.
llutter fat, 36c.
Prairie hay, $16 per ton.
Chickens, 3D to 45c.
Hens, 11! l-2c per lb.
Country bacon, 22 to 23c.
Country lard, 22 to 23c.
Cotton.
Middling, 19c.
Strict middling, IS 3-16c.
•Jood middling, 1!) 3-8c.
Hulls, $15 per ton.
The rapidly-increasing cost of liv-
ing is shown in the soaring prices of
country produce, nearly every arti-
cle on the above list having ad-
vanced in price since last week.
This is especially noticeable in the
price of eggs, which as a rule, de-
fine after Easter, but this year they
have not only held their own but
are rising slowly and steadily. This
is due to the disturbed conditions
all over the country, and not to a
shortage of the product as the sup-
ply Is plentiful.
Sweet potatoes are no longer on
the market, and there are no home-
raised Irish potatoes, though a few
are shipped In, the price being very
high.
Chickens are scarce and high, and
the prices are steadily going higher.
Those offered are far from sufficient
to supply the demand.
Country bacon and lard show a
sharp advance, with good demand.
Country vegetables of the early
spring varieties are plentiful and
find a ready sale.
Cotton buyers report
no receipts.

Houston Market.
Houston, Texas, April 18,—Under
the inspiration of easlef cables from
Liverpool and Indications of more
rains in the Southwest cotton prices
fell away in the early trading of
Tuesday morning. Reports of freer
spot offerings and some indication
that the South was getting "cold
feet" on the holding proposition, to-
gether with the rising temperatures
In the eastern bolt, contributed to
the bearish feeling, and the market
was depressed throughout the morn-
ing, although the decline In price
was not heavy. Later In the day
reports of easier froight rates and
expectations of freer export move-
ment caused rallies which wiped out
the losses to a considerable extent.
At the close New York futures were
steady, 2 points up to 10 points
down, and New .Orleans futures
were steady, unchanged, to 13
points down.
There was very little doing In
Southern spot markets, and prices
were generally unchanged. Hous-
ton middling was at 19.60 and the
sales for the day were 665 bales
spot and 325 bales to arrive. Gal-
veston was steady nnd unchanged,
New Orleans quiet and easy and un-
changed, New York quiet and un-
changed. Liverpool was quiet and
easier and 25 points down, middling
at 12.72d, while sales for the day
were 7,000 hales.
Receipts of cotton at Houston for
Tuesday aggregated 2158 bales,
against 4478 bales the day before
and 1653 bale* yesterday a year ago.
