THE EFFECT OF THE WEATHER ON BUSINESS.
The cheering effect of the beautiful weather
of the past two days has caused a general cesire
to go out in the fresh air and enjoy the sun
shine and pure air. AS a natural consequence,
ali branches of trade have felt the good effects
of this feeling. The ladies have not had so good
an opportunity to go shopping for two months
and, as a natural consequence, the retail dry
streets are crowded with the fair pedestrians.
More particularly is that great centre OF retail
dry goods business, Eighth street, like a fair.
To-day it was crowded In going along we
noticed how quickly the shopkeepers had taken
advantage of the opportunity to display their
goods The stores of Mr.. McElroy, Nos. and 8
North Eighth street, made q most beautiful
ms by the number Of ladies that were in that
vicinity. They had some beautiful qualities
OF black silks, dress goods OF all kinds, ladies'
cloakings and white goods OF all descriptions.
Mr. McElroy, it will be recolected, was for
| many years at No. IL South Ninth street, op-
| posite the University.

at the Clothing House of Charles Stokes & Co.,

| life and labor-saving instrument, has become
