CHANGE IN PLACE OF BusINFss.-The z5th of
March, Of every year, is the great "moving
day" IN New Castle Co., particularly amongst
mat class OF people denOminated Z" renters"
We are of the opinion that 1t would be better
for all classes and conditions if there were less
changes that in the aggregate their condition
IN business and other respects is not enhanced
OF improved. II is true, many are impelled to
this course against their inclination and desires
in consequence of increased and exorbitant
rents, being unable to pay the amount required,
In this city there were fewer changes amongst
the business portion of our citizens than for
many years. The following are all that we have
