Abstract

The image presents a news called Commercial Magazine The despondency of business in this square has lately taken on greater proportions. The stock of merchandise is considerable, sales are insignificant and prices are almost nominal. Winter, which stops buyers from abroad, may be an accidental cause of this discomfort, but it is evident that the main one is the lack of portable items. Our little domestic trade cannot provide the necessary benefits to encourage business and increase consumption. Among the exportable items, coffee is the call to produce important companies, due to its ease of cultivation in our temperate lands; but with the exception of the Gunduas department of this State, where some are beginning to be planted, we do not know that there are other indoor plantations. It is certain that an abundant production of coffee would completely change the face of our small businesses. Against what, we assured in our magazine of August 31, the military expedition that, according to what is said, the national Government is preparing for the State of Panama, maintains restless spirits, fearful that this is the beginning of more serious complications, whose The consequences cannot be foreseen, but they will surely deplete the scarce resources of the national Treasury and will again drive away the companies that. Only peace could acclimatize on our soil. METAL SPECIES Gold Colors ½ to 1 per 100 prize Eagles 4 to 5 for 100 id French Gold ½ to 1 per 100 id 1d. English 2 per 100 id.
