THE CRISIS BELIEVED TO RAVE BEEN RKAcHED-
THE FIRST HORSES TAKEN ooNvALEsoINo, nut
THE ptsEAsE STILL spRKAps-BuslsEss AGAIN
AcrIyE.
The bright sunshine of this morning has pro-
duced an amazing effect upon business. From
the almost deserted streets OF yesterday, cur
avenues have been converted into scenes OF ao-
nyity once more. and trade flows on in ite
wonted channels. There Is no peroepube dim
ination in the number OF teams upon the streets
to-day, save in the absence OF our street cars
and some OF our city coaches, and hope inspires
the hearts OF our business men with the belief
that We shall escape any serious INTERRUPTION IN
trade.
The crisis is believed to have been reached In
the malignancy OF the epidemic. Almost all the
horses FIRST taken are conyalescing, and will soon
be ready for service, II a relapse does not take
place. Occasionally a epasmOdic typhoid form
Of the disease is noticeable, but 1t has not yet
refused 10 yield TO proper treatment This was
the case with Mr. KennArd's horse, in the Ship
ley street club stables, and horse belonging TO
| Mr.. Traynor. yesterday. Both suddenly grew
worse and serious fears wera excited for awhile,
but, this morning, they do not seem TO be any
worse than the other horses IN the same stables.
/ AZ Martins stables both his own and the horse
Of DIR. Garrett. which were go rick, are recover
ing, and II the sunshine continues they, with
the other horses in the stable, will be parsded
about for exercise, this afternoon. Pusey

The disease, however. continues to spread and
| = represent tive OF the COMMERCIAL was able TO
hnd .forty four cases, this morning, which had
nos previously been reported. These were all IN
private stables, except eight cases at Dickins IN
| \ Bro.'s and we have no doubt that further
search would have revealed twice that number.
The expedients resorted 10, yesteriay As sub
stitutes for horses were both hume ois andlAngh-
| able. BellSh < Go. and Walton were using oxen
in the transportation OF their mercha,' disc,
while the motive power to several wagons was
furnished by men Wheelbarrow loads Of goods
were TO be seen In many directions, while the
milk and meat dealers, in many instances, were
Obliged TO serve their customers by messengers
physicians went On foot to see their patients
and the Epwootic became the common leveuel

has been no abatement Of the disease in its sta
