While many pevpie complain of the dulness of the times, the indications everywhere point toa revival of trade in every department of industry in the city; and 1m po one particular is this revival mado more manifest than by the amount of capital that ts being invested in Ubi city at present in the erection of new buildings, The building interest three years ago was at a very low ebb indeed, and capitatists seemed to tate as to what to do with their surplus cash, In 1877 a sudden impetus was given to it, aud during the past few mouths new buildings of ail classes have been going up on all sides, Among the new buildings may be noted the following :~ A DRY GOODS PALACE, On Twenty-third street, between sixth and Seventh avenues, Stero.Brothers have erected a new dry goods palace, Tho building is five stores bigh, with lofty ceilings and tron front. It occupies four city lots, and tho broad ayonue of entrance extends from street to street, The counters and shelvings aro of hardwood, ush and mahogany.
