The beetShootiag and Fisjiinff in XTortli THE changes wrought in the economic and social condition of Newfoundland, within the last few years, prin- cipally through the agency of steam, have' made commercial competition so keen, that every business man who wants *to keep step with the procession must have the latest and most reliable TRADE information. Most of the local papers are engaged principally in discussing political matters, and see°all things through parti-colored spectacles. That they do sometimes discuss commercial subjects we will not deny, but they merely graze the fringe, while our paper is entirely devoted to them. In every issue we REVIEW the markets, give the exact figures of export and import, the movements of the mercantile marine, and all other news likely to be of interest to business men generally. And for all this we only ask $1.00 a year from local subscribers, and $1.50 from foreign subscribers. "Trade Review" Building, St. John's, N.F.
