CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 187o.-The hot dry
weather was relieved by good shower, with
moderate lightning, last evening, and the
atmosphere is cooler this morning, with E.
freshing breeze. But the ground is dry, and
many wells are drying up.
THE CENSUS,
go far as taken in this city, does not justify
the estimates made of the number of inhabi-
tants. The sanguine expected three hun
bred thousand, butt will probably be twenty
five OF thirty thousand less. But the pride
of the city is soothed by knowing that other
cities also fail to realize their expectations.
EFFECT OF WAR ON TIE FALL TRADE.
The diplomatic contest between France
and Prussia having resulted IN war, we can
foIm some estimate of its influence upon the
fall trade. It's first effect will be to quicken
our own industries, and improve the price of
our agricultural produ-ts, thereby enabling
/ the producing classes to purchase large sup
| plies. But by turning the productive labor
of TWO great nations into destructive labor it
| will lessen the quantity and Increase the
/ price of foreign goods manufactured for this
| market And as most Of our merchants have
purchased their supplies Tor the next six
months, they will sell on a rising market.
| So that on the whole we may look for an ac-
tive fall trade.
DIFFERENT CLASSES OF GOODS
There are certain classes of goods which
| the people must have, such as boots and
shoes, clothing, staple groceries,, &C., the
| sale of which is les affected by hard times
| than others, such az the more expensive
| styles Of house furnishing goods, and the
| finer classes of crockery, china, glass ware,
&C., whose brisk sales depend upon the de-
| gree of general prosperity, for they are lux
uries rather than necessities to the great
majority. But when aesthetic culture be-
| comes more general and perfect, the higher
faculties will demand gratification as much
as the lower, and beautiful table service will
be as essential to our happiness as the food
which nourishes US. And the growth Of re-
finement amorg Us is indicated by the large
establishments devoted to the supply of table
| and household furnishing. Those houses
| lay the sarts and artisans of both hemls-
| pheres uader contribution to please the
| tastes and win The custom of the public, and
have so welded US to beauty in the science
| of living that the eye is pleased with graceful
! and artistic forms, while the taste is graft
fed with wholesome and appetiging food.
And chief Of the largest houses here that
supply such wants is the firm Of
hurley & TYBREL, As AND 48 LAKE ST.,
| importers and wholesale and retail dealers
| of crockery, China, lamps, glassware and
fancy goods. Their stOl 6, 45 feet by 1i0 feet
! with SIX floors, GOVERNING l3S square rods

the choicest goods III their line, French, Bo-
| hemian and German ware, Parlan and lava
goods, statuettes, busts vases, silver-plated
ware, tine table cutlery, lamp goods OF all
kinds, and everything pertaining to the trade.
They import three-foUrths of their goods,
sell III original packages, or repack their
| goods, and having agencies Ii Europe can
J always import anything desired by their Gus
toners. Their specially Is always kesping

to be. 1t is the oldest as wei
as the largest crockeTy house iii the West,
having been established by DIR. Burley in
1888, and Mr.. Tyrrell has been connected
with it nearly twenty years. They sell at re-
/ tail Rs well "a wholesale, and offer equal ad-
| vantageS to all classes of customers. Their
| sales are very large and not exceeded by
more than four houses of the kind in Ameri-
ca. They have earned this prominence by IN.
dustry, enterprise and sagacity, and fidelity
IN all their dealings for a third of q century,
till their name has become a synonym for
business integrity wherever known. They
are still III the full Vigor Of manhood, and
With the advantages OF past experience,
large business connections, ample means
and familiarity with the trade and wants OF
| the Northwest, are prepared to do a larger
business this fall than ever before. They
belong to the wlde-aWake class, who always
keep abreast of the times.
/ ADJUSTMENTS.
The theatres have had vacation, which
| still continues at Alkens' Museum and Nc
| Vicker's. Mann ng's Minstrels are at the
| Dearborn, Bryant's at Crosby's, and the
Lydia T. ompson troupe begin a ak nights
engagement at the Opera House on Monday.
| 1t has been too hot weather for any recrea-
ton except cool shower bath for a month
past.
