lsfe "WEDNESDAY EVENING Jan. ,, 1885,
Tne merchandise business Of the past week
has been materially Interrupted by the annual
closing Of accounts, invoicIng Of stocks and ths
| New Years holiday. Ths result Of ths past
years business will show satisfactory profits in
most departmsnts Of trade, though the saios will
not be SO hsavy In some houses as the previous
year. Notwithstanding the gradual settling in
prices and the heavy decline during the summer
In ProvisIons, most merchants who have adhered
to cash or short-time sales will have reasonable
balances IN the years business. We think the
general merchandise trade Of the city will show a
large increase over previous years.
