evidences of renewed confidence in the stability of
commercial matters and more hopeful feeling as

ness languished in many departments Of trade, and
there was but little activity anywhere. The con-
tnued buoyancy in the provisions market was the
chief feature OF interest on 'Change, the other
markets ruling quiet and nominally un
