the condition of things hereabout will not
be without value.
1t would be as we'll to remember that
generally throughout America fnanciers
predict general recovery from the hard
times of the past three years; and the be-
lief is strengthened by decided recovery
in prices. Many lines of merchandise, in
dry goods, have appreciably advanced, es.
pecially in cottons and wool goods. The
amount ON single yard, say, is not great
but in the aggregate of the seasons pur-
chases, it will be considerable amount, if
paid. In cloaks, blankets, fannels, wool
en- yarns, tricots, GA ladies' cloth, and in
fact all fall and winter goods made from
wool, prices have distinctly advanced.
