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.

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.

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.
