BUYERS cRowoINo THE CITY.

Within the last few weeks, Chicago has reached a stage in wholesale commercial activ. ity that has carried its trade to higher point than 1t has ever reached before. Thousands of buyers from the smaller cities and towns are thronging to the city by the trainload. Never before in the history of the city have such vast number of retail men come from remote points in the south and southwest This steady influx of buyers will in all probability keep up until the middle of October.
 Several causes are ascribed for the unpre- cedented rush of country and small city store. keepers to Chicago Railroads entering the city have been making special rates all summer long. People can come from New Orleans vicksburg, and Mobile and return for an unheard-of rate of $i5 Retail dealers living along the Missouri

 The whole region appears to be one huge steamroom in Turkish bath Not a breath of air fans the locality. The atmosphere is thick and hot and heavy. The little frame buildings have absorbed the rays of the sun ali day long and at night they seem to radiate this pentup torridity like so many ovens. The streets and alleys are like avenues leading to bake ovens.
