tract for printing paper on which to do the

tomorrow. As is usual on these occasions,
here are plenty Of bidders present, but no one
can tell how many bids will appear. For some
age forsakes them just as the time is up for re-
ceiving bids, and they back out and refuse to
bid, and it has thus happened that when the bids
were opened there would appear but one.

suspended this morning, in consequence OF the
cold weather, but an invoice OF iron plates,
ffr( j, and beams for the dome has just been
