The former of these advertisements will surprise the
ra der if he understands S0uther markets to mean
wh,t .Soutbern" was understood to mean before the
war Then ''od cio" and Old-Or, using the new WORD
nov much in vogue among the Yankees, Shoddy-la
hics were the husks that of the South were I'D on
But now there is 10 Southern market tor cast Oh Ne"
York or New England clothing. The day tor that Is
past We expect hereafter to have as good goods" as
the Yankees themselves. What, therefore, can this
sending of "0ld clo " to Southern markets Emean 2
Is there in New York any man who still believes II a

It may be that these cold co'" men arc gathering
stocks for future exportation They may be boarding

| Wei, looking backwards, how can he be blamed fol
thus preparing for gorlous auce OF the ''Jld cio

they made "ol1 CO. in evey form Tor this trade =?
When they bad stocks which they couldn't impose or

Our merchants been often imposed 90 by these "OlC

ways TO extend their credits for these "oId cl0' anc
haven't they been obliged oftentimes to refuse suspect
ing or knowing, that the cast # fabrics were made q
reserved or Southern consumption.
Oue day. before the war, passed an hour aore II
Of the apartments CT the Battle House, and having
nothing else think of during tie absence of the i1-
mate, We took al inventory of the goods with which
the apartment fuCnihed, and found tt at from tha
utensl which is not to be named to ears polite,

But the Battle House 10 exceptional case
There is not rich Or poor mans house IN the city
that would not have discovered precisely the thing
And it was also all over the country.
Before the war such market as people furnish
I'd for Yankee cold clo'" existed and it is ~
wonder therefore, that the Yankee whose instincts enc
philosophy trade should desire to keep it for future
operations California may serve in small degree fo
similar trade, out 1t is OF ilGed capacity. The Yves

The war has disc rcred to new u.ine of wealth.
that is the capacity Of our people to live within item

The moral lesson aiC.e is almost worth the cost of tn
