! CHICAGO, Aug. 81, 18G9.-Business is slow
/ ly incrt asing, but the fall trade has not YET
! fairly begun. There is an easy money mar
kct, and large grain receipts, but light ship
ments. There Is expectation Of large busi-
ness this fall, but confidence III the near fll.
| ture Is not as strong as last year. There are
so many causesoperating, which may derange
business that people are cautious in thoi1
| plans for the future. The indications are
that business will open later than was expect
! cd three weeks ago.
There has been an unusually large amount
of paving and sewering done tins season
and some OF the main thoroUghfares have
been kept almost impossible thereby, much
to the discomfort and annoyance of the pub
lie.
THE WEST SIDE PARKS
Have been located. There are to be three OF
{ them-NOrth South and Middle-connected
! by boulevards 250 and 400 feet wide, making
a drive OF some ten miles from the beginning
| at the North Branch of the River, to It's con-
nection with the South Side Park. When all
! the parks are completed, Chicago will be pre-
eminently the City Of Parks.
The growth of Chicago is indicated by the
! progress of art as we'll as bv its material
wealth. Take the Photographic business as
al instance, which III ten years has increased
| from S25, 900 TO million of dollars year
Every artist knows how essential it is in TAX
ing good pictures to have good materials
that the camera, glass and chemicals should
! be Just right, and that iftheso be defective no
skill OF the operator can avail to supply the
deficiency. Hence, every intelligent photo
grapher viii, if possible, purchase his mate
T1as where he can be assured that they are of
the very best quality, and where he can get
just what he wants.

Photographic art-Offer uGriYalled advan-
tagcs to the trade III these respects. HesIer,

Among the manufacturing houses which
reflect credit on Chicago, none are moro WOr-
thy of note, than those which supply our pub

ments for the education Of tha young,
And first in this class is the house of
a. H. ANDREWS & CO., III, STATE STREET,
whose inventive talent in producing the best
