were OF a favorable character Trade in Eng
land and France was improving; money was
abundant. and interes, low (; the manufactures
were in full operation, aud the demand for
goods and yarns pretty active; and what was
still better for Great Britain. the prospect for
an abundant crop Of wheat was fine. Under
all these circumstances. i, is no, surprising that
the prices Of the principal raw material for the
European manufactures should have improved,
especially when adrices had reached Europe

We arc fearful lha, all sansuiuc calculations
Of high prices may prove fallacious as the rul.

true that the accounts we have recrntlyreceiv

But il tho crops with good weather during the
remainder OF the year. yield only three-fourths

that the supply may fall shcrt Of the demand
