monthly and seasons comparisons in Sec
rotary Hester's report are made up to
corresponding date last year, year before
and in 1892. Comparisons to close OF
corresponding weeks are misleading rs
to totals, to close of this wank last year
would take in 14S days of the season
and to the close of this week in 1898 in
cludes 149 days, and to the close of this
week in 1892 includes 151 days, whereas,
to the close this year covers only l4I days.
