BUSINESS IN WILMINdToN.-Every ono remarks
the decided activity in business and while some
are disposed to merely construe it into tenn
porary revival produced by the holidays, others
believe that it is the result Of causes which will
render it permanent. We share in this latter
belief. We have it from men OF business that
this busy season commenced several weeks ago
and is the result not of any temporary cause,
but is permanent increase which will grow as
our industrial establishments resume their full
operations. The black cloud which hung like a
pail over business month or two ago is fast dis
appearing. and in few weeks all our heavy in
dustries will be, it is thought, prosecuted again
to their fullest capacity. After the holidays
more money will also be in circulation from the
dividends of corporations and we shall have more
Of our present greatest need to do business
with.

REAL ESTATE late financial crash has
not had the effect, thus far, to appreciate the
values of real estate, as was expected. We are
told by gentleman engaged in the business
that there has been no visible increase in prices,
but that on the contrary. if there has been any
change, it has bsen the reverse. This probably
arises from the fact that there are now great
maly houses tenantless, their occupants having
removed elsewhere in quest of work At the
present time there is very little demtn for real
estate. but in the Spring, when the demand for
houses shall revive we may look for an increased
demand for possession of real estate and cor
responding increase in values.
