Notes.

success in combating them and substitute

progress.
The fear of another advent of the de-
vastating drought that caused universal
depression in realty year ago mas peen
abandoned and in consequence OF the
markedly different atmospheric conoltlons
of the present season has given place TO

brokers that the market instead OF de-
preciating, within the near future will as
sumo q definite ana lnuisputdDio SioiiSo
for the better.

considerable Importance. both in the city
and throughout the State.
