The Singer Company hold that this snle puts Fleld, Lelter & Co. into possession of the finest aud most complotestore- bulldiug n the world, Thus the wholo matter of the Blnger Bullding 1s settled satisfactorily to all parties concerned, after nionths of negotia- tion, P ' BACK AGAIN. GREAT NEWS FOR THE LADIES, ‘Tite Trinunz can deflbitely inform §ta read- era to-dny thut Messrs, Field, Lelter & Co. have ptrehased from the Blnger Bewing-Machine Company the mognificent edifice just complet- ed ot the corner of Washington and State streets, and familiarly known as the Singer Bullding, together with the 1ot upon which it stands, ‘The negotiatfons in behalf of thu Singer Cumpany were conducted by W.

It wns quite evident to the reportorial mind that thu lense would be purchased back by the Sineger Company from the {Irm, and that thu price paid for the property was a very high one for thuse thmes, and, In the opinlon of some, muck Jareor than would have been given under any other clreamstances, It opined by others that Messrs, Field, Leltcr& Ca, wounld agaln oceupy thelr former location for their retall trade, und » move in that direction sccms likely us scon as the Post- Oflice Is removed from tlie basement,” There 1s an impression thut they want to get o by May 1, under any circumstances, t MR HENRY W, KING told o reporter yesterday that he received a sum Ol mun’cy from Field, Lelter & Co. yesterday, = which he opusited to the credit of the Binger Manufacturing Company, and he seut by last evening’s mmil the deed of the bullding “and grounas to Me.
