The DIR. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry that I
bought of you, has been of such signal benefit in
my family, that 1wish to make its virtues known
for the benefit of the public.
My wife took cold at the time of her confine-
ment, which settled on her Lungs. The physi-
clans pronounced her disease consumption She
had profuse night sweats and coughs; she was gi-
ven up, for we despaired of her recovery, and her
child partook of her complaint. She then COM
menced taking Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
and three bottles effected an entire cure with her
and the child both.

been in their graves if they had not used Wistars

MOVEMENTS I'M COMMERCE.
THE, TRADE OF NEW YORK.
Two Years Statistics Of c Commerce
1864 Compared With 1859.

The following statistics regarding movements in
trade in this city during the past year, were col
lected with view for publication on the LIST inst,
but from the crowded state Of our columns we have
deferred their insertion until now.
II will be seen from our statements respecting
some Of the eadngarcles Of trade, that the prices
Of most Of them have ruled higher the past than
during the previous year. Cotton has formed an
exception, though prices have been quite uniform
considering the variation in the crops. The chief
improvement has been felt in breadstufs and pro-
visions.
The business Of the past year in nearly all branches
has been remarkably successful, and generally re-
munerative 1t will stand out as year Of the great
est national prosperity and progress with which the
country has been blessed since the organization
of our government but we hope, under the bonds Of
imperishable union and peace it is yet destined to
witness many more years Of great prosperity, and
that the growth and progress of the country may go
on increasing in corresponding ratio with the in
crease Of population.
We commence our statistics with cotton, which
has finally reached in its cultivation in this country
a crop of about three million of bales for the year
1925 It will be seen from the following.f figures
that the stock in this market is less than it has been
at any previous period since June, 1851

LEATHER AND HIDES.
The year just closed left moderately light stock
of all descriptions of leather, and an active demand.
We give the following statement, showing the stock
on hand Dec 81 1851, and the present time ;os.
Stock on hand of sole leather 900 $780, estimated
In the stock on hand at the present time may be
mentioned about 40 900 sides held by spectators,
leaving the actual stock the market about 200 900
sides. The light and middle lots hemlock may be
said to be quite scarce and with an upward tenden-
cy while the heavier descriptions are slow to move
except at low and unsatisfactory prices. In oak
tannages the reverse may be saidlight weights are
dull as compared with middle and heavy weights
Gan unusual feature)-but which may be accounted
for in part by the great increase in the consumption
Of heavy weights oak leather for betting purposes
In the commencement OF the year 1851, all descrip
tons of sole leather were low considering the cost Of
production. Light and middle weights sold at from
to l3c, and poor do. I to 9c.--prices which were
ruinously low to the producer. Along in the spring
a leading dealer entered the market and purchased
largely on speculation-purchasing considerable
cost of production. This turned the scales, and
prices Immediately moved upwards. Early in the
fall prices gave way somewhat, notwithstanding
the demand was enormously large, and the stocks
the bare state Of the market for nearly all descrp-
tons of leather, and perceptible increase Of de-
and for consumption prices have slightly advanced
showing very much higher range than those Of
as follows:-Light and middle weights hemlock, l6
to lsc.; over weights, l3a to l6c.; good damaged,
13 to l6c.; poor damaged, 9 to l1c; light slaughter
oak, ~ to 24c middle and over weights, % to &c.;
hemlock slaughter in rough, II to 20c.; hemlock
calf in rough, 80 to 4Oc. finished calf skins French),
20 to 90c per h.; do. (American) oak, IS to 9Oc;
hemlock, light SO to 6Oc upper leather, per foot IL
to Ice. The following features are worthy of re-
mark-In the manufacture Of fancy upper leather an
astonishing improvement has taken place in the
style and quality Of the articles produced resulting
to the great profit Of those attaining high perfec.
ton in their art In the articles Of enameled and
polished leather, and fine calf skins, the New York
manufacturer is unsurpassed and, in some descrip-
tons, unequaed. OF sole leather, the New York
tanners produce the best in the world No
better proof Of this is required than the rejection
of foreign leather by the belt makers, and the adop
ton of American tanned leather in its stead. Leather
in the betting business is subjected to the severest
tests, both to tension and wear and tear and oc
casionally to imperviousness Within the last three
or four years we have, in abiding to this branch of
American manufacture, endeavored to impress upon
the tanners the importance Of improving their art;
and we were gratifed to be told that our remarks
had proved Of great service to the American tanner
and currier.

PROVISIONS.
Provisions have, within the past year, materially
advanced. The stock Of old pork was greatly re.
duced at the opening Of the past season, at the
commencement Of last autumn. A scarcity of
hogs at the West, with an increased demand for
pork in California and Australia sent up prices.
Thus, on the 3lst December, 1851, mess pork sold
at $l4 so $l4 rs, while on the 3lst December,
1852, it brought $40 a $40 so, and in the same
month sold at 500 to arrive Our limits do not per-
init US to 60 into details regarding the pork trade at
the West including tables Of supplies and consump-
tion.
With the advance in pork other articles of provi-
si0ns have generally sympathzed, and have advanced
with it. The movements Of each are shown by the
following comparative tables Of prices;-
