stone will be left upon another. The
question of its salvation appears to

BOSTON.
Since last week ! have been in
Boston. l was in hopes to find the
old city in better condition than
New York, but l was disappointed.
New England is even tlatter than
New York, and there is more mourn
ing, and with better reason. The
manufacturers are OverstOcKed with
goods, the hands are idle and eat,
ing up the accumulation of former
years, the mercantile interest is con
sequently as flat as it can be, and
everybody is discouraged. One of
the heaviest publishers in the city
told me that his sales, wholesale and
retail, did not amount to $500 per
day, which was something less than
the daily running expenses of his
store. When the book trade goes
slow in New England, there is not
much hope for anything else. There
il very little building going on, no
new enterprises are entered into,
and there is a universal feeling of
depression.
Sheaking of depression, the Phil.
adelphians feel it just as badly as
the other cities. The Centennial
has not been as productive as it was
expected. The hotels, restaurants
and bars are doing well, but the
trade that it was expected to bring
has not come. The people come sim
ply to see the Centennial, and not
to buy goods, and they see it and
go away. tn" sna-board cities are
suffering, and | fear they are to suf-
fer for some time to come.
REAL ESTATE
In the city is fearfully dull, duller
than ever before. There isn't a
piece on Broadway that will sell for
mortgages, and rents are going
down to nothing. Bottom has not
yet been touched, as bad as it is.
Rents have gone down IS per cent,
and are still declining. The wealth
er is fearfully hot, and everybody
feels the dead languor that hot
weather and dull business always
brings. PIETRO.

INCREASED POSTAGE ON NEWS
PAPERS. Senator Sherman has in

newspaper publishers on and after
the first of January, 1877, are to
pay four cents per pound instead of
taco for postage on newspapers
1t is true that it does not pay to
carry newspapers in the mail from
Boston to San Francisco at this rate.
but it does pay to carry news
papers published in any part of
New England to any post Office in
New England at the rate of two
cents per pound. Why, then,
should the people of New England
be taxed for delivery of newspapers
in the far Western States, where
the population is so scattered that
the expenses of tho mail far exceed
