borrowers experience not quite so much trouble in
etfecting their negotiations during the previous
week, which was by far the most severe our city
has witnessed since '37. But making due allow
ance for the favorable change in the market, there
is not sufficient ground for an assertion that i'm

preston is, We have stated IN former articles.
that the close OF the present month will witness
state of affairs entirely different from that which has
reigned paramount for some time past The bulk of
heavy payments will have been met before then;
there will be no large expectations of specie; cotton
bills will come in; and there will be an influx OF
gold from the Pacific, which, with subsiding de-
mand for money on the seacoast, will place the
country in much better position than for many
months past. All these circumstances, in our opn-
ion. will tend TO equaizc the supply and demand,
so grossly disproportonate. Ii is not reason
able to suppose that the present commercial distress
can exist for much longer period 1t ID not in the
nature of things.
The depressed state of finances has operated I'M

have doubtless observed. The sales from day to
day not fair criterion of the value of the
rites which thrown upon the market In
many cases these sales have been forced, holders
preferring to sacrifice sound investments, rather
than TO pay the ruling exorbitant rates on paper.
II is well known fact that the receipts on most
of our northern roads have largely increased dur
Ing the present over the corresponding period of
last year Consequently, in our point of view, this
species Of property is daily becoming more valu-
able, and will eventually become what was long
