Preparations for the fall trade pretty well along;

by reference to the paragraph on money below.
The statement in to-day's HERALD that the pub

rise to considerable discussion. Vice President

would not assume the responsibility of declar-
ing that the receipts from the 2l2 miles Of Western
Union road lately added not included
