Notwithstanding the increase OF bushes

GLooxr PRospEcr.-The New Yo,k

York will be out of employment and
nearly out of means The ship yards
in New / ork arc fairly idle, the found.
ries but half working, and the great
clothing stores doing very little. 1t is
stated that women have recently come
to New York from places 300 miles
away in guest of work from the cloth
ing stores, only TO be turned of with
none, and compelled to beg their way
home again. The Tribune adds, that
places have looked for servant girls
for some time past; soon servant girls
will look earnestly for places, and be
very glad to find them. 1t is predicted
that soup houses for hungry laborers
who can find no labor will be wanted
before January The Journal of Com
merce is OF the opinion that hardly,
since 1887, has so gloomy PROJECT
