RUSH OF BUsINEss.-The rush in our
streets and st the counters Of our merchants
on Saturday, was never surpassed in the palm.
lest days Of our city. Whest and produce
poured 10 in torrents. and dry goods. groceries
and lumber was taken away in unlimited
quantities. Nor was Saturday an exception to
the general rule. Every day in the week our
streets present degree Of hustle and activity
which is highly cheering to our people. and
attracting the special wonder Of strangers
coming here. For some good reasou, Dsven-
port is taking heavy strides forward in busi-
ness. Every one feels that better days are
coming for this point, though the country lie
passing through perious crisis The vacant
stores are being filled up. 1t is q fact worthy
Of mention. that there are more stores opened
aud filled with goods to-day. than there was
turing those lively times Of the Fall Of 1856
just take look and sstisiy yourselves W.
believe there is no other point in Iowa that i.
enjoying that degree Of prosperity taat Daven-
port now enjoys, and which is likely to be her
lot for time to come. Wheat is coming in ct
the rate of about fifty Thousand bushels per
week. and other grain and produce In proper
tiOn.
WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT?-
The coan,ry round about Davenport for miles
and miles, is filled. literally crowded with
pork. which must find . market sopewhere
this fall and winter. The question is: where
is that produce to be marketed and packed
II ought to be done right here in Davenport.
The advantage acvruing from . large pork
establishment here would be many. and do
much for the city. Something ought to be
done to secure this business Our city must
have all her legitimate trade. aud the pork
business is q large portion Of it. We do not
know what may be the Intentions Of parties
who have heretofore packed here, but We a'e
afraid that nothing has been done towarde
carrying on . very extensive business in the
pork line this coming season. There is time
enough, however, to attend to that. II entered
upon Immediately. Who will set the ball in
motion. HapPesrs to us that the proper rep.
reseatations made to pork packing capitalists
would induce them to make this Q point Our
farmers will expect to find market in Daven.
port THE winter. an>, vs aops tney may not
be disappointed. Who will make move in
the matter
