BUSINESS NOTES.

■ Messrs. Baddsiley and Foiiong have advertised in another column some picked- bargains in farm properties for :sa!ie and lease,'they being of" coiia-se but a few: It would" be advisable to apply to, the firm for one of their .-■■ catalogues,' which contain a, very extended list of country and town property, also sortie very pretty suburban homes. - The firm hav3 numerous inquiries for farm lease- ; holds ■.without goodwill; building sectibna oloso to -town, and desirable residences, also c'iose to town, on easy terms. ■ Clients having property for disposal cannot do batter than! by placing :m the hand* of thus enterprising firm. .■"The unexpected always happens," is a welil worn saying, and it ds likewise true that that which ia expected very, often happens also. Thus it was pretty generally expected that General Kuropatkin would have to o-leiar out of Liacyarig, and such proved to bo the case, for. when the guns "began to play" he had to gat. out of his^ronghold in short oi'der. It was expected aJso that Cap-, taiii Edwin's telegrams of a. few days back1, warning ua against heavy rain, would turn out to be groundless alarms, and the beautiful weather of the past few days proves how well'founded were the expectations ~of. those who predicted fine weather. It was generally expected . that when Mr. P. C. Price started his great 21 dayo sale of second-hand bicycles liß would sell his stock -lake hot cakes, and the, present bare appearance of his shop proves that, once more the* expected did happen. Starting his sale just over a fortnight ago, with 50 machines, to which he" added about 20 more from his Stratford branch, he has now only, about a dozen left in h:s shop. This speaks volumes for the ex-' ceillenc'3 of the wheels offered, and _ the extremely libsa-al terms of sale given by Mr. Price. In order that the remain, ing stock may be •cleared out quickly, Mr Price has made his 'terms, still, easier, ■and a good machine in firs't-c!ass order, with: new typres, and stove enamel, can now be secured for the small sum of 10s. down and monthly payments of 10s. each. These aro terms that talk, and as the remaining machines are real good ones, and ticketed at low figures, it is more than likely that every one wild be disposed of when the last day of the sale comes round.
