year, unless an exceptionally good
crop should turn the balance Of trade
againiin our favor. The, late frosts
has damaged the crops everywhere,
and the outlook is bad. The gold
and silver are at this time leaving

stricts trade, which in turn seriously
affects factories and transportation
and these seek to Save

labor. In particular localities, like
ours where there is likely ID be a
rapid growth of population, the de-
tnands OF new corners for houses and
other articles, may maintain local
trade, but that does not indicate u
prosperity. IS, sa5a6

A few Of our citizens seeing the
necessity for more tenement houses
have commenced the erection, Of q
few. We hope others will follow
their example. Fifty houses could
be rented to advantage at once. If
we expect people to locate among us,
we must prepare houses for them at
reasonable rents. a
