people, out of employment, have made
application to the city for work, and
means have been taken 50 far as possible

Property has greatly deprecated in
Philadelphia. On Chestnut street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, many
fine buildings are now nearly vacant, aud

vacancies Of similar character are to be

Delaware and the Schuylkill. On the
South side of the street, in tho square
already mentioned, many buildings are
partially uutenantcd.

the bonds of the State Of Wisconsin, il

United States Government stock have (
become a drug in tho money markets. {
