isfactory, when compared with that Of the
corresponding week of last year, and the
total footing up of S276, lS3, ,619, compares
somewhat unfavorsbly with the footing al
the end Of last week, when the figures stood
at 81 1882, 172, ,S69. The figures, as compared
with the corresponding week OF last year.
