earnest consistent, efficient Unionists in the
South, and has been soorned, tabooed, scoffed

"A gossipping writer from New York says:
sMr. Stewards only formidable rival in the
Wholesale line is Mr.. Clahin Clafn sells more
at wholesale than Stewart, but Stewards retail
business puts him far ahead. The rivalry be-
tween the two houses is very great, and one is
all the time trying to undersell tho other.
Stewards great retail store will be again Gu
larged next summer. He has at last secured
the TWO large buildings at the corner of Ninth
street and Broadway, and will have them taken
down in May. One OF these buildings has
been occupiedfo several years by GouL l, the
well known picture dealer. Goupil is moving
up to Fifth avenue, and Stewart will then have
the whole Block to himself. About the first of
May his prsncipal rivals in the retail limo,
Arnold, Constable &c Co., will take pos.
session Of the magnificent store built
for them at Broadway and Eighteenth
street. It covers whole block on
Broad way, ard is much finer looking
building than Stewart's, though not quite so
large. Another big dry goods irm-Lake &
McCreery also move up town in May. A
splendid building has been erected for them
one block above Stewards, and just opposite
the ST. Denis Hotel. When Arnold, Constable
l. Co.,, and Lake & McCreery move up, Lord &
Taylor will bo the only large retailers below

tween Capa-strcet and Stewards old house at
Cham D ers street, and the centre is now fully
two miles further up Broadway. At that time
