The New York Tribune says the report Of the Sec
rotary Of the. Treasury has produced marked
change in the ideas of merchants traders and specu
latOrs and good deal of caution is shown in making

chasing all commodities. As there is an ample sup
ply of breadstuts, provisions, and of all articles re
qulred for the consumption Of the nation the holders
OF goods bought at prices created by the exgencies of
period Of war, have great difficulty in convincing
consumerSthat prices under the influence of natural
laws long can be sustained at war prices
