G, Don A* Co., in tln-ir weekly review of trade, say: Business is gaining, but it is a constant complaint that the improvement i« glow. This is because very few realize liow heavy a load business lias to drag after it in climbing up again. Uncertainties weigh heavily. There lias been great encouragement daring the past week in the fact that November payments are far more sat¬ isfactory than whs expected and yet the extensions of the month would have seemed alarming in other years. Merchants who collect part of the amount due are rejoiced,hut their buy¬ ing power is not as laTge usual. The extraordinary shrinkage in purchase for consumption, if lessening, has still marie it impossible for many firms to go on as before, and the largest fail¬ ure id the past week, that of the ’1 bur¬ in r-Why land Company, illustrates cm barrassiiii nts which cannot betermina tod in u week <>r month.

Each object there recalls thy lace Each fragrant zephyr breathes a sigh, For tender joys in days gone by ; Sow falls again the evening glow. And calls the thrash so soft and low, As in the long ago, my love, As in the long ago. As in the long ago, my love. As in the long ago— We wander slowly, hand in hand. In young love’s dreary wonderland, Again the light of evening skies Shines in mine own from thy dear eyes Again the distant chimes so low. Peal forth the hour in measures slow, .As in the long ago, my love, As in the long ago. As in the long ago, my love. .As in the long ago— The vespers' dying echoes peal Among the hill. Again I kneel Aud moan and weep beside thy grave. Where grass plumes in the wild winds wave And sway in mute grief to and fro.
