1t matters little to the aver
age buyer as to the why and
wherefore and the ups and
downs of trade-it may blow
hot or blow cold, be wet or
dry, everything goes, but the
wide-awake merchant studies
the signs carefully and cannot
afford to neglect the condi.
tions. Just so now with our
Mating trade. Our orders
were placed last December;
the goods by reason of storms,
adverse winds, shipwrecks and
what not, have only partly
arrived, but we are enabled to
offer a good assortment in the
