eT, Iurnitufe feed stuifs, etc, show like pros
porous coalition The merchants of the city,
both wholesale and retail, anticipate an active
trade during the entire summer months, with
every prospect of full frution of their hopes
THE general business of the city to-day has
been better than for some time past and the
shipments of goods in all directions have eX-
ceeded those of any other day for weeks PCS
larger number of county merchants were in
attendance than have beei witnessed here since
early in the year when spring business was at
its best The retail trade was very fair and an
activity was noticeable in all commercial circles.
