OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


through the central business portion of the city,
especially among our Wholesale dry goods mer-
chants that unusual activity prevails in the
preparation for the fall sales, which have alrea-
dy commenced. Along Baltimore street, and
on Hanover, Charles, and German streets, the
side walks are crowded throughout the day,
with boxes and bales of goods, all giving owl
dence ola large business being contemplated.
We learn that the assortment of goods suitable
for the Southern and Western trade, was never
larger and better, and it is anticipated that ex-
tensive sales will be effected. Many merchants
from The South and West, have already arrived
in the city, and our hotels are fast filling up.
Such evidence of the increasing trade of Balti-
more merchants, is certainly most gratifying.
.Nsao .4rmory. The "Monumental Rife
men," Capt. Roberts, have rented the large
and capacieus saloon in the third story of the
Commercial Buildings" on the Northeast
corner of Lombard and Gay streets, for their
Armory and drill room. They have also Sc
cured two small rooms in the same building,
which, with the Saloon, will be handsomely
fitted up for the urpose of renting them out
for Balls, Associations, Lectures, &c. through
out the season. The saloon is one of the
largest rooms in the city, and will make an ad-
mirable drill room, it being of sufficient front
and depth to permit of many company evolu-
tons, great desideratum in the perfecting of
company in military tactics. We are pleased
TO learn that the ''Monumentals' are increasing
their roll, and rapidly uniforming.

company F, of the new Regiment of Mounted

have had an unusual cold spell of weather for
