Tho commercial situation of to-day did not
exhibit a very strongly marked Improvement on
that Of yesterday but tho strong,h gained yoster-
day was we'll conserved, aud the patient WAS able
to use two or three moro muscles than lereto-
foro, showing sure, though gradual, con-

Tho general commercial situation Ia not 30

moro money In hand and country collections
easier, though some OF tho interior banks aro
said to have advised thor depoBitors not to bo in
