Messrs Brown Ewing and Ot, Princes Bt, Dun<*din, are mw showing their early spring and summer goods. The firm's new millinery aod mantles are especially worthy of attention The City of Melbourne B*nk, which figures prominently jast now, owing to the fact that efforts art being made to reconstruct it a second time, illustrate* forcibly that the Australian colonies have not washed themselves clean of the backing crisis of 1893. The run on the banks and their inability to cope with tbe peremptory demands of depositors, compellet no less than thirteen monetary institutioas to temporarily close ttieir doors and reconstruct. Banking institutions are not the only ones t h -it are subject to sudden demands; other establishments find themselves unexpectedly called upon to meet a strong deminri, and an instance of this is affirded by the Empire Tea 'Jompiny, which exulis in the fact that daring the past tbree or four months there has been a welcome run on its blended teas. Consumers, however, have no occasion to be alarmed, as there is not the least chance of the supply running short, nor of the quality deteriorating. The Empire Tea Company, un' ike a banking institution, heartily appreciates the run on i«s teas.
