trade

with some of the leading houses, and both
staple aud department goods were disposed of
TO a considerable aggregate amount, though
individual selections were less liberal than IN
former seasons There are not so many SOUTH

end it seems probable that good many OF the
smaller dealers in the south viii not come on

which are csnstalafly arriving from them.
