| BUSINESS FIRMs AND PROFESSIONAL MEN IN NEW
| QUARTERs-NEw-CoMERs IN HE CITY.
Immemorial custom has set apart the LIST
Of May as knowing day" for those who find
It necessary or desirable TO change their dwelling
places and as house-c'oaning day" for many Of
those who remain in their old quarters Changes this
yenr, however, seem TO DO less numerous than
usual. Uptown, especially, the unRccustOmed quiet
of the streets remarked. Very few private families
moving and the changes that did take place
mostly in the tenement-hOuse and fat" districts.
Upon the business thoroughfares however, the
furniture-oaded truck more frequently seen,
and in streets down the ordinary business
traffic many times delayed brought to q stand
still by the crowd Of drays and wagons. Before noon
on Saturday. all the truckmen in the lower part of
the city were busily engaged ana many movers were
unable to procure wagons. The unfortunate were
obliged either TO transport their goods themselves or to
delay their removal until to-day. III many cases they
chose tho latter alternative.
The building which received the business
tenants was In all probability, the new Stevens Build
ing at Nos. II, 10 and IS Walst, with its wing No.
Nassau-st. Tho building is not yet entirely
completed, but large rents paid for even the
smallest rooms, aud it is said that $4,000 is
to DO given for its best apartment. Among those
