PICKING UP.-The show OF failures for
the first six months OF the year is very IA
vorable. compared with that OF last year.
Last year, for instance, there were 5l4 fail
ures, OF which the gross liabilities were
$4,000, 795, with assets Of S1T,0l2,6G2. For
the present year 3GG failures are reported in
the city, with gross liabilities Of 1859, 656,
and assets Of 1900, 34G. This. it will be
seen, is quite aheayy decrease, and another
indication OF returning prosperity in trade,
for which there IS cause for coDgraluation.

Jennie and their two daughters were
with him. They wandered through the

II this had been long accomplished.
and the history of CrossbaSket almost
forgotten. when Baltic Allister and
Lawyer Brode again discussed the
subject They had met at Sholto's
splendid residence to assist in the
celebration of his eldest daughters
marriage, and on their way home they
naturally enough reverted To Shol,o's
fortune.
