for the seasoT, and ample preparations
are being made in most lines for the ap-
preaching sutumnal trade, although as
yet there have been but few signs of q
revival of business. This shows more
hopeful feeling exists among merchants
that a general effort will he put nth to
make the fall trade large and profita-
bic one, and we must confess that with
good health among the people and good
crops generally, q proper economy in all
things, the future Looks brighter than for
