The wholesale auctioneers5 of New York IN the
Of year dispose OF an immense amount of goods, in
fact great number OF articles altogether sold out
of first hands by means OF the auctioneer and the re-
turns of auction duties will give insight into the

from any duty. The amount of duties auction sales

MsrsE OF THE APosTRoPHE.-Some of our sign paint
bill writers, anu editors, lately make most hor
rible work in the use OF the apostrophe Pluras
very often converted by these careless writers, in.
to possessive cases. thereby entirely destroying the
sense Passing up the Bowery yesterday, we saw, on
respectable grscers sign "Familys Supplied with Teas
Coffee and SUGARS" and we very often see Spices"
Segar's," ana others Of the kind And have
before us daily paper which states that the kean's
commenced an engagement in Philadelphia Monday
night" This must be sheer carelessness. There is a
rule for the use OF the aposrophe which, If taken
used only when the pronoun with which
used is IN the possessve it intended to sup
ply place letter or letters omitted II should
never be used in connection with a plural.
