The decision of the Pullman Palace
Car Company officials relative to the
Invitation extended by the Wilmington
Improvement Company to that company
TO enlarge its plant here, is looked for
anxiously by those who are interested IN
the welfare of the city OF course, the
result of the consideration which has

those property-owners who are in any

Mr.. Cazier owns about 1000 acres OF

THE MAILS A BUSINESS BAROMETER,
They Are Heavy for This Season, Indioat
Ing Healthy Future.

one OF the best barometers for the in
dication Of the condition Of business is
the post Office In times Of commercial
depression this fact Is very plainly ap
parent In the mails. When work is
dull and money scarce the employees in
the post Office are not rushed to any
great extent, and in times Of doubt and
distrust matter bearing the business
cards OF our large manufacturing com.
panies are not found, In any great
quantity, In the mails. This Is true.
especially at this season Of the yeai.
Inquiry at the post office by an EVEN
ING JOURNAL reporter, this morning, dc.
veloped the fact that larger quantity
Of, mail, especially out going. Is being
handled daily than In the previous year,
during the month OF July. The bulk Of
this comes from our large business con-
Germs. and consists Of price lists,
circulars, etc
The inference 70 be drawn IL that
would-be purchasers have applied Tor
prices on manufactured goods, and this
can be looked upon as an indication OF
reviving business Many firms which
have never done this clsas OF advertising
TO any extent are also sending ont their
catalogues to the trades, very healthy
omen.
While the outgoing mails are heavier
than usual, the incoming nails are cor
respondingly large, and of these the
business men Of the city are getting q
fair share.
