it must be consoling to lovers of this beverage to learn ‘hat there is no scarcity of the article; in fact, so abundant is tea that enquirers for cornmeal, of which there is a limited supply, are generally met with the answer: ‘We have none on hand, but

ments of the P. E I. Bink building has very much improved the appearance of the rooms. When the counters are completed they will be decidedly the most elaborate and handsome in the City. The design shows that the Cashier, under whose super-~ intendence the work is being performed, bas an eye for the beautiful. We =incerely hope that the thick ground glass with which the upper part of the counters ail panels led, will not compel the clerks to ‘lose sigut of their customers.’’ The “Old Bank’ under the present management is one of the most popular institutions of the kind ou tiie lsland. sievling I:xchangeoe gelis at Hanks as foliows ; 60 days bills, 10 per cent. prem.; sight 11 per cent, prem.

The Brenan Property oa the corner sold at auction for $16 550, The price realized may be considered a fair index to the value of property on Queen Street, for as a busi- ness stand Brenan’s corner is second te none 0a the Street. Gentiemen who have been building custies ia the air and talking about $20 UUU buildings, will doubtless be assured tuat they are not quite so wealthy by a few thousand dollars as they flattered themselves. A more deiightful view of the matte: may present itself te owners ot laud in the suburbs. The property of Mr. Cc. C. Gardiner, about a mule from the City, containing 73 acres, with his handsome villa sold for $21 U28 U6. Reai Estate owners will be fairly able to fix the amountof their earth y treasure by the sales of these valu- able properties—ine one in the heart of the City, and the other within the radius of two mules.

Freigits d» not seem to have miterialiy advanced, although the declaration of war did seem to be to shipowners the silver lining of the coud which promised activity in shipping. England seems to have an abundance of unemployed tonnage, and while the big oak 13 nut putting tortn ber branches vig- orously, the smalione under her shadow cannot expect to be flourishing. The prin- cipal demand jor vessels is in the oil and wheat trade, As We have not a superabun- dance of either of those articles, our carry- ing trade will be very light. The Haji arrived and discharged the largest cargo of generai merchannise ever received from Montreal at this port. Our merchants must bave great faith, these hard times, In tie ability of their customers to shell out. With the exception of two or three lines of goods, the murket 1s overstocked, and we shail bave to trust to Providence, good markeia, and good crops to help us out 10 the payment.

Our City fathers the last six months, partly merited and parily uomerited, It seems cowardly to attack men who have been placed in a position by the people—men who could not place themselves where they are, ‘The electors are responsible for the men chosen and have no right to find fault with their choice. We would call the attention of our civic authorities to the number of Grunken loxfers who lie basking in the sun at the corners of Qu-en street; almost every man with an.eye bent or his head in a siing, l'requently these men are offered work by commercial men at $1 per day, but do not con-ider the sum asuflicient incentive to industry. We saw one of these hard nuts attack /hree helpless and harm'ess police- men who were vainly trying to convince him that they were good Samur-tans, wil- ling to give him anight’s lodgings. We turned away with a shudder, thinking of the ingratitude of men.
