" Business is depressed to a degree beyond description. The Cahfor nian says that stores are kept open and rents lxuM. but hundreds of merchants would close up could t!ey do so without sacrifice.. This condition of things is par tially explained hy this, that the mercantile community is larger than the wants of the producing classes require."

The weather has been glorious, and the growing crops promise a harvest as abun dant as ever enriched the agriculturist. 4 Page, Bacon &, Co. resumed business on the 29th, in their new banking house, cor ner of Clay and Battery streets.
