wears the air OF Il man who has found the ma

ment made for the purpose OF taxing
them to New York and bringing them
into closer business relationship where
practicable.
Tho crowds OF buyers who visited the

pectod. 1t was found necessary To make
use of second register for the names oil
the visitors aud two lines were formed by
those who wished TO record their arrival.
Tho number registered was twice as
largo as that which registered on the
first day OF the first excursion from The
same territory Many Of the merchants
brought their wives and children under
the reduced rate privilege granted by the
Joint Traffic railways. They came
mainly from the section bounded In the
west by the Mississippi, in the south by
the OHIO river. and in the east by Buffalo
and Pittsburg.
The indications are another $50, 900. 600

Of the business condition, and their
