The Whipping List says of finance and trade In
New York:
Complaints Of duII times are still quite gen
eml in commercial circles, and measured 10y
the standard of former years, at his period,
there can be no doubt that the volume OF trade
Is light. But after all, business is not quite 50
slow As would appear from a cuTsoTy survey OF
tins general markets, and the disHppOintmCHts
Of the mercantile classes are susceptible Of ready
explanation. In the Il ~ place. tie times, sea
