some cases the harvesting of crops was de-
ferred. The "Braddock farmer" knocked of
altogether. Real estate brokers were unable
to get buyers to go out and examine properties.
Merchants made fewer sales. Dog-killing

of yesterday and Sunday, and the haziness of
the atmosphere were heralds of its approach.

merchant. the manufacturer and the broker to
rise many degrees. Pittsburg's sails are
trimmed to catch the favoring gale.
