are having very cold winter and more
snow than usual, much to the detriment
of business and promotion of sleigh rid
ing. seldom see copy of the HERALD,
but it always seems like the face of
a friend, and is reminder of early as
sociations. Chicago is fast overcoming
the effects of the fire, and soon the
waste places will all be made smoother
by the erection of new and substantial
buildings. Already it is estimated that
the value of new buildings on the south
side is as great as before the fire, which
is accounted for by Improvements in
material and construction.
Business Of all kinds is dull, low prices
for country produce necessarily brings
about this result.
Wheat is the only article among our
leading staples that commonds a fair
price, which is brought about by the
series of calamities which have befallen
the agricultural districts in England, but
as all the available surplus of the world
is seeking market in that direction it is
doubtful if we see any material advance
here for several weeks to come. A.
