SOLDIERS BRING BUSINESS.
Merchants Feel the Effects of Their
Presence.


Presence.
The retail merchants of the city had a
fine run of business yesterday. 1t looked
like the times when the Seventh Army
Corps was here. Merchants had more
soldiers in their stores than they have
had in some weeks, Nearly all the SOL
diers who are here arrived with money,
and they have shown no hesitancy in turn
ing ii loose.
There is no difficulty about securing
leave to come into the city. Both the
Sixth Immunes and the Third Connecti-
cut Regiments were well represented.
Seeing the sights of one of the cities of
their native land was a novelty for the
immunes after their round of duty in
Porto Rico, and they enjoyed themselves,
They were evidently well content to be
back in the states again.
Warm undercothing was issued to the
immunes In those cases where the men
desired 10 do so, they were allowed to
draw overcoats and other articles of cloth
ing than understands, but this was seldom,
the soldiers preferring to allow their
clothing accounts 20 stand as they are.
Any investments that are made in extra
clothing will doubtless be with the mer-
chants, as it will be but short while be-
fore the men will need civilian habiliments.
