Although the price OF money is Still high, and
insovencies are rife, the fury Of The panic has
been stayed, and the presage Of brighter and hap

has not been materially assuaged, but hope is
high, and the future is promising. Towards the
latter end of last week. there was DECIDEDLY more
cheerful feeling exhibited in The manufacturing
districts, and an increased business was done,
particularly by private treaty.
