The Atlanta Constitution, referring to it, says: There was an unusually full and brilliant audience present last evening at the opera house to witness the drat presentation in this city of the new American drama, "The Banker's Daughter." The play is perhaps the purest and most successful of typical American dramas.

The play is presented by a company of Belect artists in the profession, embracing some familiar to us and who have won popularity with our people by their superb art and real merits.

Last evening he was vociferously encored. His wife as Florence St. Vincent Brown, maid, wife and widow, was beyond criticism, and shared the favors of the audience with her husband. Mr. Collier A8 Count de Carojac made a decided hit with the audience, if not in the duel.

Mr. Collier is one of the most socomplished actors in the country, and in this role must increase his popularity. wAS the cutest and loveliest little actress we have upon for many seasons.

The Potter Investigation, The special bent of the American mind seems to be that of Old Si-to investigate. We began to investigate in 1860, and we have been investigating ever since. We investigated the South pretty thoroughly then, and now they have caught the spirit and propose to investigate us. Investigation, that is a toroughly unpartisan, unprejudiced investigation, always leads to one excellent result--the good, the true, is vindicated, and Impostures are exposed.

This is precisely the reason why Dr. V. Pierce invites and urges the public to investigate the remedial powers of his Family Remedies. He knows that the trial will vindicate all his claims for them and all that has been written of them by grateful patients who have been restored to health by their use.

ST. JOSKPH, December 10. The enlarged and increasing mercantile trade of the city has a tendency to make the business at the banks very active. The demand for money is very great, and all good paper is discounted readily at 10 per cent. per Annum, while the counter business, such as checking and depositing, is great with the merchants and also with stock and grain men.

The bog market yesterday advanced from 10 to 15 cents on the previous day's quotations, the figures offered being as follows: Medium mixed packing, $3 85 to 4 00; extra choice heavy, $4 20 to 4 30. It is scarcely probable that quotations in the bog market in this locality will be advanced much beyond the present prices, although it may be remarked that the immediate supply in the country tributary to this market, is not very extensive, owing to the continued summer operations of the packers.

Dry List. Never before in the history of St. Joseph has the trade in all departments been so generally active and healthy, and our wholesale merchants all rank as prosperous business men in the true sense of that term. It is really gratifying to note the very active state of the market in all branches, and merchants are unanimous in the opinion that every department of business was never more promising than at the present time, and instead of a decrease, every day shows a noticeable increase. Country merchants are buying very liberally, and a large number who come in from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa, report that business is unusually good in their sections.

Most of the wholesale houses in the city are crowded with orders, so much so that employes have to put in extra time to keep up with business, and even then find it is a difficult matter to keep up with The dry goods trade is very brisk in all branches. The Eastern wholesale houses and factories have as much 88 they can do to supply the demand upon them, and merchants from the West frequently have to wait as long as a month for their orders to be filled. Considerable excitement prevails in New York, almost as much as prevailed in 1863, and cotton goods of all kinds are stiff and firm with an upward tendency. In St. Joseph the market is good.

In fact it is the opinion of the leading dry goods men that trade is better than it ever was at this season of the year. The country merchants are flocking -in and making extensive purchases.
