Buainess, Crops, and the Markets.
The following review Of the markets,
crops. and business prospects Of the
country, we take from tho last Issue OF
the New York Mercantile Journal
Business exhibits slow and gradual
vet decided tendency to improvement
There seems 20 DO a growing confidence
felt nov, where, only week or two ago
every body was uneasy about the future.
The moving Of tho crops at the West
has set the accumulated funds in motion
here, and the country demand for cur
roncy has become already quite active.
Every day must add 10 this circulation,
and another fortnight will sec it ut its
height. From Cincinnati we learn
that the wool clip is moving freely and
that the resources OF the country banks
are taxed 10 find means TO aid that in
iercst, while at tho same time, the wheat
and hax-seed men are IN want Of ac-
accommodation. Tho return tide will
make its appearance in the shape Of the
great staple, a large proportion OF whose
prices viii presently find their way in
to other channels OF trade. =
One most excellent sign of returning
business health is that. now, with the
assurance Of magnificent harvest, and.
in fact. the most of its visible and tan
gible results before their eyes, the peo-
pie Of the country are taking less con-
Germ IN the disorganizing agitatons
that few still desperate ones strive to
keep going. The Importance which in
diyiduals have been prone 10 attach to
themselves and their movements turns
out 10 DO infinitely less than they sup
posed, and instead Of throwing the ma
ton into turmoil, the incidents Of their
career furnish the reading mass OF pop
ulation with q nine hours wonder, then
pasH ont OF the mind. Thus the bill
lows of our great civil tempest gradu-
ally subside and tranquility resumes its
reign, still "a we have intimated else
where. there is reason for cautious
and awakeful observation on the part
Of the American people, lest in some
moment of repose they find fresh troub-
le preoipitated upon them.
As for the cunningly instigated ru-
mors Of the revival of insurrectonary
feeling at the South, there does not APP
pear to be 30 much as the shadow of
truth or sense in them. 1t Is shown by
all the practical testimony that we can
geach that the most earnest efforts
are being made there 10 restore agricul-
tura commerce. aud that the owners OF

siyely engrossed in that great work.
he crops OF cereals and even Of sugar
rice aud cotton that viii be garnered
there this season, are evidence enough
10 show how thoroughly the Southern
people are cured Of their illusions. aud
now determinedly they are struggling
TO retrlye tho past
We mentioned ia our last market re-
view that there was prospect of dam
age 10 the crops in some portions OF the
South by storm &c, chiefly in Louisiana
Southern Mississippi and Texas; but
the most recent accounts from othei
States are 50 unexpectedly good as u
completely eounterbalance these fears

10 the common testimony Of the best in
formed authorities, will be large aver

During the interim, the stock OF
hand in this country at all the ports has
been reduced 10 much less than one bal
