The explanation is that proprietors of large establishments like The Palais Royal have Jong since made arrangements for the manufacture and importation of summer stocks. At and since the time of their arrival there has been a general depression tm Business, which has affected allfrom the millionaire to the families of those ‘Whose incomes are infinitely smaller. The result 1s goods have moved very slowly with the retailers, and manu- facturers and tenporters have had little demand for the goods made up in anticipa- tion of re-order. The Palais Royal has recognized the opportunity that other merchants have rm ther not seen or, having seen, have not dared to profit by owing to large purchases ‘early in the season. Our buyers have visited the wholesale markets and picked up foods at nominal prices. The risk is this: Stocks are made double the size that te Weual even when “times” are good. But we have risked and won. The volume Of business has been doubled. But need you betold tht The Palais Royal hasbeen dally crowded, while the reverse has been the case at other largo establishmente?

The ordnance départment of the army is making preparations to begin the manufacture of the new army rife at the Springfield armory immediately after the beginning of the mew fiscal vear. The rifle isof very small caliber, intended to use smokeless powder and is a magazine arm. It is estimated that within one year from July 1 next the total output of the ‘armory will be about 12,000 riffes, which is made possible by the use of the most modern labor-saving machinery. This number of rifles will probably suffice to arm the entire in- fantey and artillory branches. The carbine for cavalry use has not yet been designed, but will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. It is ted at the ordnance department that there be many calls for the new arm from the state militia organizations. These demands will be met as soon as the army equipment is complete, and the charge for the guns will not be made against the special appropriation of $400,000 made for the supply of the army, but against the regular militia appropriations. 19TH ST.

Jutte & Foley, the contractors in charge of the extension, have gone to considerable pains to get men who heve had experi- ence in railroad construction, amd the building of the line will therefore be rapidly done. The men employed Bavebeen scattered about between the Long bridge and Roslyn in five different gangs, and « superin- tendent put in charge of each. The work of laying the tracks will be commenced within a month, it is stated, the rails and ties having been already ordered. ‘The only difficulty that will be met with in the construction will be the crossing of the marsh near the Long bridge terminus. The contractors, who desire to turn out nothing but first-class work, have sent to Pittsburg for their piling machines, and will, on their shipment to Weshington, immediately begin the making of a solid bed for its tracks to rest upon. The few days’ delay that the company have been put to hes been on ac- count of this proposed piling, they endeavoring at first to prooure machines from some near city. In Roslyn the railroad company have in- vested in land to the extent of $30,000, and the buildings projected will cost as much mora, CANAL SEWa. Canal matters continue to be as thrifty and active as when last noticed. The arrival and departure lists tell a gratifying story of trade. The condition of the mules and men show the pressure of canal travel. As soon asa boat Teaches Georgetown her crew manifest intense anxiety to discharge, and after this go on the hustle for their way bill for the return trip. Within a few days the eame boat retarns the operation is repeated. All this shows to the initiated that the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is flourishing. It is very probable that « number of new boats will soon be added to the ficet. Soveral old ones are being repaired and rebuilt, and this will materially increase the available tonnage of the canal. The only change so far noticeable in canal — s in the interior decorations of = ce. The retiring general manager, Mr. Henry C. Winship, cleaned house thoroughly Before he removed, and the new manager, Mr. Nicholson, has arranged the office after his own taste, His desk has been placed at the west front of the room and the walls are being hung with photographic views of canal life during the periods of washout and No changes have been made in the main office.
