We would suggest to those who have contemplated building and making improvements this Spring, that present prospects warrant permanent, first class buildings. For purposed of trade, &c., brick bu9ildings are greatly preferable to wood, and in the long run cheaper and more profitable.

Good, substantial, modern-planned buildings will command high rents and increase the value of all adjoining property .
