THE LAPSE OF YEARS.

6snUT of sight, out of mind is an ancient
J proverb that has lost none of it's truth
with the lapse of years. 1t is as true to-day as
when it was uttered by the old philosopher whose
bones have long since become an undistinguish-
able part of earth. In view of the force of this
adage we wish to keep before the eyes and in the
minds of our people, the fact that we keep con-
tinually, that is to say, every day in the week,
month and year, a large stock Of pure White
Lead, Prepared Paint, Linseed Oil and their con,
comitants; that wesell pure White Lead and Oil

THE GRAIN TRADE.
Some Interesting FIcts and Fgrcs From an
Actaopleiged AH'boriy.

Most of tho readers of this paper will be
aware that since the Wall street disasters
occurred the grain markethas been in a very
quiet condition, and that together with the
limited foreign demand. has had the effect OF
making the business mere stagnant and OF
bringing prices down lower than they have
been in long time past. Yet so far as your
correspondent can ascertain the feeling in
the trade. in view Of the immense and splcn-
did crops of she year, is full Of encourage
ment, and the outlook IS regarded as excel
lent. Among others to whom your CORES
pondent is indebted for information upon
this important topic IS Mr.. Edgar K. Legg,
the well-known grain and provision dealer
Of Il Chamber Of Commerce. lie is mem
Der Of the body Of that name andis generally
REGARDED as first class authority. In answer
to various questions Mr. Legg told your cor
respondent that there was no doubt but this
would be a good business year on the whole,
as the wheat crop will be the largest since
the phenomenal year Of 1880. It's estimated
at $4,000, 600 bushels-and the quality Is
most superior. The corn and oat crops
promise equally well Al that is needed is
a little more briskness in the foreign de-
mand. Prices are lower than they have been
in a long time, but are not likely to 90 any
iower,-and probably an advance will speed
lily occur.
Your correspondent may add that though
Mr.. Lerg has only been established here
since February last he has already done a
very large business. In fact this Office since
July lst 1893, has handled over 100000
bushels OF grain, and proportionato Quan-
titles Of provisions, etc. Nj Lcgg rel re-

ciIities are therefore of a most superior de-
scription. His statements, as above, are
entitled to respectful consideration. Mr.
