Inrnt of an accommodating: character, Il,
number OF projected Improvements will
have to be postponed for want of ready
money to icfr:lE the necessary current
expenses. We know of several PERSONS
owuiu" vacant lots in town who want
to build in order to save rents. but they
have not the money 10 pay for buildings
upon their cnnl,!rtirn. They are able,
however. from the revenues nf their
several rallinG-, to pay from Twenty-Five

expiration of each month. and at the
CLOSE OF the coming business season

Now, would it not he better for til"

Shoulh be deferred indefinitely, for the
two to agree Jointly to abate the demand
for cash payments for lumber and work,
and t" take their pay i'll monthly in
~tallnent$, the whole to be paid in full
before the expiration of their twelve
months lein: 1t is quite clear, under
the recent financial regulations adopted
by commission merchants, that very
few of our most solvent citizens will
have money in hand for building l'ur
poses, before the growing crop is sent
to market and sold. This may be 4,
present hardship, but it inSures greater
profits and greater Independence when
the crop is gathered and sold. Then
tie rrrtitiny builder will certainly get
his pay, perhaps with interest: or 9TH

part of capitalists, there must he, to

of business. 1t is i'll this view of the
matter, and because We feel concerned

DEATH OF ROBERT MURE, ESQ.-It becomes
our painful duty to make this sad announcement
Mr.. Robert Mare died at his residence. In Church
street, about 9 O'CLOCK last night. BE was born IN
Kirkcudbrlght. Scotland, July 26. 1sl2, and was
therefore not quite SO years old at the time OF his
death. He came TO America when quite young:
and has been for many years prominently ldenti-
fed with the cotton and shipping trade OF our
port. BE las held numerous ofhces.oI honor and
trust in the course Of his life. He was president
OF the Charleston Chamber OF Commerce, presl
dent OF the St. Andrews Society, and an elder IN
the First Presbyterian Church.
But although NJ. Mnre never shirked RESPONSE
biusy, he never courted either the cares or the
honors OF office, and appeared rather OF a retiring
disposition. he stood high in the esteem OF all
who knew him, enjoying a rare degree OF pubic
confidence. For years he has been looked up 10
by our younger men as q good citizen, a modei
merchant, sud what Is more, as a fine specimen
OF q true Christian gentleman. The death o.! MI.
Mure will be deeply felt In many circles. HIS
runerel will take place at 8 O'Clock this
afternoon q; the First Presbyterian Church.
