The movement of the wholesale and job

Hyde Park on Monday next. There will be
five buildings in all. The main building
will be $50 feet deep and 90 feet high. The
estimated cost OF the works, including ma
chinery, is $lsO,OOO.
The political situation is given as the
cause OF the falling through" for the pres

000 The agent who is engineering the
deal said to-day that the intending pur-
chaser has emphatically refused to act any
further in the matter until after the
election. 81 am also interested in trans

summation.
