WAREHOUSES; Ottawa within the last
year shipped in the ncighborhood of mil.
lion bushels Of grain. Although She had ten
warehouses, they were inadequate to the
wants of this immense trade. TO meet the
increased business Of the coming season, two
new warehouses will be added, with capaci-
" equal to half of all the rest. These are
the new warehouse Of l.. H. EAMrs, on the
Main canal, near the I.aSallc st. bridge, and
the warehouse Of \. W. Magill, now in pro
cess Of erection, at the Main street bridge on
the lateral canal. The warehouse of Mr.

Businessi in Ottawa. \ few years ago they
constituted little side business of the dry
goods dealers, but at present Ottawa boasts
several fine shops devoted exclusively to this
business. Having accession, few days ago

the Marble front store, we were surprised at
the extent and brilliancy of her stock
There were bonncts and flowers, ribbons
and gmps, fringcs and founccs, and ilappets

holiday attire. But as we could never tell

see for themselves.
