\ COMMERCIAL REPORT.

Eighteen Hundred X Ninety-six has llquidated and gone out of busi- ness, thanking the public for it's liberal patronage heretofore bestowed and bespeaking a continuance of the same for his successor, Eighteen Hun dred x Ninety-seven, who will con tlnuc the business at the old stand. While there is little of old stock left on hand, to be worked off as soon as possible, there is also large supply of new goods upon the shelves Co be offered to the dear public at rare bar gains While the Cuban question and the Armenian outrages still finger on the shelves to yex the new proprietor as snopworn and out of date, he can be thankful that his predecessor worked of Billy Boy Bryan, Debs and Al,geld at an oppartune moment The silver craze has also been fairly got rid Of and instead the shelves are filling with large stock of inteFna- tiona. himetallism for which there is growing demand. which demand will be met lu the satisfaction of all concerned. Free trade has also been unloaded, and the shelves it occupied are ROW Lelng filled with all wuUi and yard vide protection, guaranteed to wash and sure to give general satis- faction. The Nicaragua canal Is among the good things left over from the old firm, but it now seems destined tu gu at d good figure. There is a lively demand also for the good, old Monroe doctrine, and large order for foreign consumption was filled by the old proprietor. Reciprocity, which went out Of date four years ago, seems among the coming styles, and the new proprietor anticipates heavy de- maud for that line of goods. Civil service reform has become a staple article, with steady and increasing demand, but the stock on hand seems shop worn, faded and moth eaten, facts the new proprietor will doubt less take into consideration by put ting in d new line of goods from an other and better factory, where ma terials of a superior quality are used. A demand for a war of some kind seems impending, but the stock to meet it is not in hand and the demand may ;all off before 1t can be filled. should it continue however, until stocks fill, it will be sensationl tran sactlon, but quickly over like a corner in wheat CT slump in pork. There is a lively demand for arbitration, how ever, and large stock has been or dered. In the retail trade there will be the usual run of petty bickerings, neighborhood quarrels, marriages, di- vorces, births, deaths and eiopements The new proprietor hopes todo brisk business, and to get along better than have his four predecessors.
