If antlquarians grubbing in the debris left by nations
past and gone chance upon some curious fabric or
unique piece OF pottery strange to our epoch. ana
which artisans fail to initiate, we regret that the
beautiful art that devised them has pershed with the
past We mourn the lost arts, and in doing so
forget those which we discovered to replace them
Fancy an ancient Roman his breakfast with quad
,unle sheet like the Sunday HERALD at his elbow or
railroad train at his command TO whsk oysters from
Britain and peacocks from Gaul into his larder, and
then confess that '.Civis Romanus" with all his lost
arts could have been a much comfortable indi-
Vidual under the circumstances have imagined than
ne was in reality
Possibly the most important OF the arts
which have been born Of the nineteenth century is
the OF advertising. It is boundless in Its scope
and sufficiently easy of requirement to be employed
by Bridget in the kitchen by magnate OF finance
1t wih call attention to the purloining Of pug or
TO the stimulation OF stocks, and it is under this
latter view that we have been attracted to its
value.
The Gould Osborn Mills combination having saddled
themselves with a stock in trade OF which Lake
Shore speciality, and finding expenses heavy
and customers few, have within day or two gone
into the advertising business with great deal Of
assduity And they have done it on the principle
of bidding up such fances have for long time lain
dormant at least moderately active. Notably among
these have the Western shares which they gave
bounce to yesterday and have let alone to-day, aban
doning them for squirt in ohios and Western Union,
which, advertising medium, required to be made
attractive with the rest OF the market Accordingly,
at the close of the day these stocks exhibited more
strength and activity than any other two the list
and showed better progress during business hours.
BY thus taking hold of one stock after another and
advertising it, It were with all the display Of the
printers art the present manipulators OF the market
hope to attract attention and ultimately buyers for
their wares
Apart from the effects OF the bull clique in Western
Onion its sudden and unexpected rise due to the
dissemination OF fresh reports pointing TO consoda
ton with, possibly lease of the rival Atlantic and
Pacific Company. Although it not ascerained that
Ihc matter had yet taken any definite form there
circumstances which point strongly in this dreo.
hon and it is not improbable that some sort sort of
understanding win be had which will work to the ad
vantage of both companies.
In this case our old friend the reliable contraband
who has been lurking about the premises for many
weeks likely be turned out in the cold carrying
with him the odium OF suspicion which his presence
has SO long entailed-
Taking the market altogether it may be described as
active one with important dealings and satisfactory
results for the bu side These results are however,
in the shape of larger figures paper than Of
any general realization The crop is above ground and
looks favorable, and II marketed at the present or
higher figures will bring satisfaction to the husband
man.
But there many risks ahead and even II the har
vest be garnered 1t is by means sure that there
sither men money take of the growers hands
