CONE DowN, Rents Rents are everywhere
lessening. In New York city number of three
year leases which expire at the end of the year
have been replaced at a reduction OF from thirty
to thirty-ilve per cent. While everything else
has been coming down to "hard pan" rents
have steadily maintained their high and proud
position throughout the country. What has
taken place in New York must be followed every
where. Men working for a dollar day should
not be expected to pay the same rents as when
they received two dollars day for the same
work.

was done the dinner by the editors, and many
The editors came in for a full share, and had it
not been for the philosophical argument between
jour printer and the doctor, they would proba-
bly, be still surrounding the festive board at the
Clement IIoust. 1t vas unanimously agreed
that Mr.. Burrell's liberality as a landlord de-
served something more substantial than merely
praises, and all who viii stop at The Clement
House will no doubt coincide with the invited
