After the board the market was very hrm, and
there were large transactions in Central, Toledo,
Southern old and other active shares.
General business Is quite prosperous at present,
notwithstanding the war. All kinds of mercantile
traffic are unusually active. Our exports of
produce are largely in excess of any prece-
dent. Notwithstanding the new tariff, which was
intended and expected to check the consumption
of foreign goods, the importations are a fair
average. The importers and jobbers, who ex-
pected to be ruined, are doing very well indeed,
and the receipts at the Sub-Treasury for duties
almost unexampled. Our internal traffic was
never SO active as at present. The canal revenues
exceed the most sanguine estimates which were
made last year. The receipts Of the railways sur
Ecpass those Of last year, which were considered
very good, by rs 40 per cent. Our banks are
full Of paper money, which they are trying to lend
at four per cent /; their specie reserve,
which they don't need and don't use stands a.
a very high figure Agriculture at the North has
proved this year as successful it seems TO have
proved unfortunate in Great Britain. With US,
every crop is either an average or above an aver
age. With the British, hardly any crop is an
average, and the chief crops are far below one.
Industry, with the exception Of cotton manufac-
lures, is doing excellently. Even before the new
tariff was enacted the manufacturers OF New
England and Pennsylvania were thriving;
that tariff gives them 10 q rs per cent more
for their goods, and the woollen manufac-
turers, the boot and shoe trade, the hardware
manufacturers, the iron founders, &C., &C., are
coming money. In q word, notwithstanding the
war and the enormous expenditures Of govern
ment, on whichever side we look we see evidences

or course all this is on basis Of paper money
which s already deprecated Is per cent below
gold. But il we can terminate the war by the sup
preston Of the rebellion, and the restoration Of
the Union on a permanent basis, conversions Of
currency will proceed fast that it will very soon
become practicable, by resort TO the usual mea-
eures, TO effect general resumption Of specie pay

At auction to-day Messrs. Haggerty h Co. had
the largest offering Of desirable dress goods which

tended and passed off successfully, nearly all the
goods being sold at good prices.
The Scotia arrived day with British dates to
18th. The news Of the battle Of Bull run had been
received in England, and great anxiety was ex.
pressed regarding the ultimate result. Cotton was
lower, wheat and corn firm; the weather had been
rainy. American stocks were rather lower Sat.
