Times, now edited by Geo. Wilks esq:

them, make its coiumns more interest

The cold clothes" commerce in

ty than with us in the United States:
and yet, if Mr.. Abraham, of Chatham
street. be correct, large BUYERS in
New York know that old blue army
clothing finds its rcadiest market i'll
Ireland, and cast-Uif red wool gar
ments i'll Holland. From London.
however, there are regular shipments
of certain garments to particular
couutries-scarlet coats of the country
10 Russia, for use oftacing: common
rcgiincnials to the Licpsic Fair; az
tillcry coats to the low countries:
vclveis to Poland: top boots to the
Cape and hvcries 10 African chiefs.
The great dealers there i'll those
frowsy garments have riscu to the
dignity of merchants, and the value
ofthcir exports makes no inconSi,ler-
able item IN the annual returns of the
country. But Old clothes, after they
haved served the purpose of mankind.
from the shabby gcntilfty to utter
bcg"ary, are yst far from closing their
career. When they have seen their
worst they take altogether new
iSHse Ol eSiStcntt. As Uiu '1HSDn was
renewed, i'll ancient story, by being
ground in mill. so are our garments.
When old clothes are too bad for
anything else. they are still good
enough for shuddy. We all remember
how this article was denounced
through the rebellion as "devil dust;''
and yet it is as Legitimate IA new ,n;,-

torn to pieces by long-tootl,cd pick

and appear in the market as talmas
and petcrshans, beavers and pilot
