FRIDAY, April l4--P. n.

Stocks were in active demand at higher rates, and
. large business was done. The suspension of the
draft and recruiting, and the restoration Of trade
With the South, have given new confidence in all
directions and people are promptly recognizing
their business upon q peace basis. The enec' OF
these two measures upon the country VIII DC IN INC
highest degree beneficial and all commercial Pur-
suits and every branch Of industry VIII soon snow
tts results One stops the drain OF labor 10 Ill the
ranks of tho army-leaves the industry OF the coun
try to be used in pursuits for the improvement
Of the people, instead Of being consumed IN war;
The other opens TO the commerce Of the North
lts old markets in the South, which has still great
wealth In its boarded cotton, aud for which the
world at large is waiting What the South lacks
IN money TO buy goods left TO her in the form OF
credit and the North will lose time in restoring
the commercial relations disturbed by the Rebel
Non. The North is not exhausted and can hardlyo De
said TO have been seriously weakened by ts expenses
1t has, TO be sure, spent thousands OF millions, but
has still the capital and every appliance necessary
70 at once resume its Southern trade. What is
true of New-York aud New England is equally true
Of tho West, which to-day is stronger than ever,
With less debt and with moro of the material wealth
which constitutes commercial solveney. With
peace restored the interchange OF commodities
will be resumed with all its old energy; ans
though trade may, in some cases, seek new
channels, the natural developments of the
country will secure to oil existing routes
ample business in paying rates. 1t is tins
conviction which to-day promted shrcwd peo-
pie to buy stocks of all corporate companies
engaged in transportation, which under peace, arc
assured Of business which will task them to the
utmost. Peace TO those who are in debt and
involved in speculaons, which required prolonged
war to make them succeed, will be brought 10 grief
but tho great industries of the country will be
pressed forward with new yigor, and national
wealth be accumulated with all its old rapidity.
