for holding my stock
i do not; and feel very much inclined to
SELL
Now this was JUS, what Mr. Harwood wanted
TO hear him say; and he had been dexteriousy
leading him on TO that point
i don't think would sell, if were you, Mr..
Emory
If can meet with purchaser, I believe
will turn my -four into cash for use in some more
profitable article of merchandise, was the quiet re-
ply.
There was pause Of few moments, when
Mr. HARDWOOD said
How much have you on handf
About three thousand barrels

'At five and three Fights
Well don't know, Mr.. Emery. But | am
half inclined to take you up. | feel sanguiDe
that there will be such an advance by fall, as will
amply compensate for the investment
Just as you like about that, Mr., Harwood,-
But certainly will not advise you to purchase
any more -four than you have on hand am
afraid the prices will not go up There is every
promise of an abundant harvest

NO. would prefer letting it remain where
it is for a few days, if you have no objections
None in the world. 1t can lie in my store fo
a week or two if you wish it,
Thank you-but will make arrangements t,
, take il away soon.'
And SO saying he left the store of Mr. Emory

f session of his friends -four, at a price which h
knew to be less, by five Fights Of dollar than it
true value
di Arrived at his own store he filled check i'm
