Yes, / not only believe we are having
good times now, but that better ones are
coming, in fact, almost upon us"
Mr. B. H. Levy of y. II. Levy & Bro,
spoke In glowing terms of the situation:

a Simultaneous and sympathetic increase
with every other branch Of business.

their influence Is still felt more or less,
but aside from this merchants have felt

prosperity which prevails everywhere, has

previous year. Country trade has been
extended and collections have held up bet

added directly or indirectly 10 every
branch Of trade, and the advance in prices
of lumber and naval stores has cut a
large figure in the general looking up in
business Goods are higher with pros.
poets for stil further advances. China
is demanding our cotton goods which Is
sOmetning unusual ana IN an probability
business relations will be opened up with
Cuba during the next season. Business in
all lines and everywhere has a better tone
than usual, and it is safe 10 predict a pay
ing as well as an extensive business for
the coming season." This gratifying tone
IN the business atmosphere is in the opin-
ion OF the bankers, not confined to Sa-
vannah, hence with her natural resources
together with the prevailing healthy state
Of her business condition, the prospects
for good future trade in Savannah IL
indeed favorable
