drifted entirely into Tweed's hands. He said
he made an arrangement with Ingersoll, Wat

Review of the Portland Markets

FOR THE WEEK ENDING SEPT. ~.
The general market is constantly improving and
there is now a good volume of business. The
demand for goods is not yet at its hight t. The
stock of goods in the country is very small indeed
and a general stocking up will have to take place
before snow flies. The demand is liable to advance
prices and those who are wise will buy early. The
increase OF trade is very encouraging to the jobbers
who have been doing small business the past three
months. Gold still ranges low and it closed
