The absence of full information as to what is transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be tbe awful silence which generally precedes a storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of ■ommerce will rise. Among other commodities wool and labor will go up. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a slock of clothing, before the general advance begins. In order that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other materials necessary to a wellequipped tailoring establishment, which we are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash.
