The New York Herald of this morning says:
'"The dullness of mercantile business through.
out the country is for the time being favorable
to speculation in Wall street, although we see 1t
reflected in the earnings OF the railways, because
it is conducive to the stagnation Of capital at
this centre. The SPECTATORS, however, look
forward to largely increased earnings in conse-
quence of an abundant harvest, and the impulse
which the latter will impaTt to trade. They also
feel confident In the preservation of our none
tary equanimity, owing to the enforced suspen.
sion OF currency contraction for an indefinite
period to come. Moreover, with the revival of
trade and the harvesting OF the crops they look
forward to demand for stocks from the public
at high prices, when, if not sooner, they hope to
sell out at good round profit, and their motto
will be- After US the deluge!
''There is no change to note In the condition
of monetary affairs. Loans are made freely to
stock houses at five per cent, and on Govern
nent securities in large amounts at four. The
exceptional transactions at six per cent. CON
tinue to be for small amounts only or on time.
There is no perceptible increase of business in
the discount line. The supply of prime COM
mercial paper offering is very limited and this
passes at 6@7 per cent"
