Again tho "area Of low barometer has gone
past ua, and tho commercial and agricultural
world is glaadened BY q sight Of tho sun, almost
as much as were Kritikobnllo and his Mogos in
tho land "beyond tho anow." Everybody WAS
glad to look into clear sky this morning; oven
those who may loso by tho decline of prices that
would attonl tho assurance OF good crops. And
with good reason; for they know that crop
failure would make the whole West poor once
more, even Il It did not reproduce tho financial
disasters Of 1867. It ia not too late yet to hopo
tho future, that would bo assured. Tho ohanged
meteorological conditions stimulated to consider
able energy outside. Everybody WAS following the
example OF tho mariner, In shaking out roofe.
shipping was preparing to move, and tho work
Of rebuilding proceeded with removed vigor.
Tho painters were especially active, covering
many acres Of surface With now coats Of pig
mont. The lumber-yarls wero alivo with buyers
and teams, In the Great Wholesale housos thero
was not much moro doing than usual, as thoout-

country traders and their ordera here In great
numbers.
