.u BUSINESS FAILURES. E
There have been several business failures
since my last The exorbitant price of rents
absorb all the profits of many merchants. A
retail dry goods house paving $12,O00 RENT
q, 900 more, than it ought. No wonder it
mon Rrxrs.N
Ross & Goss pay $40, 600 rent a year, but
they do q large business Butthe fact is pat
emit, that landlords must reduce the price Of
s4s
is very close at the banks, the demand of pork
packers absorbing all their spare funds There
Is little prospect of an easier money market
till after the Government call is made.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The art of transferring the likeness Of the
human face and form have reached q great de-
gree of perfection In canvass painting, where
the eye guides the handin thinning the features
and tracing the ehape,s size and relations of
the different parts, there is necessarily more
or less imperfectlon. But, when the Sun was
made pencI5holder and painter, the Gkenesses
were true to nature, and daguerreotypes, am
Ibrotypess and photography succeeded each
other, and now picture5 are taken on wood,
porcelain, and the different metals. There are
\ several styles of pictures, recently introduced
by the best artists, that are deseryedly pop
ular. ~G
1. THE R~EMBRANDr, or Shadow pictures,
after the style of the great Master. These pic
lures are very fne, and the artistic effects
most striking.
2. THE BEsIN YIaNETTE: very large sized
heads, from retouched negatives. A peculiar
style, very beautiful and popular.

artist could equal on canvass, and
also special arrangements for taking children's
pictures, and ample facilities for executing
work in every department of the photographic
art. Using only the purest chemicals and the
