There ia perhaps no branch OF trade and Haine In
which this policy is so much practieed a. In the
Oyster trade. Every one claims TO have the best,

generous and eeonomiaing public will settle this
where they can do 90 10 the best advantage There

Hence II s that the demand for oysters is daily
on the increase. Try them for yourselves; you can

B- The fact is. our patrons must cOntrive
to do with as little local and general news as
possible during these Holiday times. We have
little time for anything but to WORK for the
interest and pleasure Of our customers. Fol
these little delinquencies we will make amends
shortly. We notice that our Cincinnati ex,
changes do not contain near their usual amount
of reading, the Holiday demand on their COLI
umns being unusually heavy.
