NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Owing to the great pressure on our adver-
tising columns, advertisers would favor us by
sending in their advertisements early in the
day. This course will secure proper classif-
cation, helping the public and the HERALD.
Advertisements intended for our Sunday issue
may be sent with great advantage in the earlier
days of the week it will prevent confusion
and mistakes arising from the immense
quantity of work to be done on
Saturdays. Advertisements will be re-
ceved daily at this Office, the branch Office,
No. 1,265 Broadway, between Thirty-frst and
Thirty-second streets, and the Brooklyn
branch Office, corner of Fulton and Boerum
Streets up to nine P. NJ, and at the Harlem
branch Office, 124th street and Third avenue,
up to halt-past seven P. III. Let advertisers
remember that the earlier their advertisements

instant, or the opportunity is lost.
What are good tactics at ono stage OF
the battle may be the most fatal Of blunders
at another The HERALD advised General Dix
to declare himself against third term at the
precise nick of time when such declaration,
coming from him, would have had prodig-
ious effect He did not make his launch in
the high tide, when it would have proudly
floated and it is for him to decide whether he
will knock out the props and precipitate it
into the Shiny mud left bare by the ebb. The
difference between low water mark and high
water mark is the difference between the ad-
vice of the Times and ours. Had General Dix
followed our advice when we gave it it would
have been the salvation Of the party. But
that very identical advice, when given at ebb
tide by the Times, might prove as mischievous
as it would have been advantageous two weeks
ago. Time and tide, say the copy books, wait
for no man. They have not waited for Gov
ernor Dix, and if he has reason to deplore
great opportunity lost and great advantage
forfeited it is not the fault of the HERALD.

Tn. Commeroial Outlook.

The condition of business during the
present autumn is not only test OF the
wild theories broaohed in Congress last win
ter but tolerably sure criterion for esti-
mating future prospects, The pretence SO
vehemently urged for many months after the
panic, that the chief need of the country was
more currency, is of course exploded by the
great abundance of money at this season OF
the year, when the movement of the Western
grain crop is at its height The banks have
more money than the community can use, and
there has never been an autumn when loans
could be obtained at such low rates on good
security. This ought to have have been fore
seen during the crazy imitation clamor. The
amount Of money needed bears some proper
ton to the amount of business, and an i'm
mense curtailment OF business was necessary
consequence Of the panic which toppled SO
many great houses to the ground. The men who
failed were among the most daring and adven-
turous members of the business community.
They were engaged in sinking vast amounts of
active capital in enterprises like the Northern
Pacific Railroad, which could bring no re-
turns in this generation. and in extending
manufactures beyond the ability of con-
sumers. After the crash not only was the
money misemployed in these undertakings
set free for other uses, but the class OF push
ing men who had given an unhealthy stimulus
to business were disabled from again per-
petrating this kind Of mischief The amount
of currency remaining the same and the uses
for it being SO greatly diminished, it was a
necessary, and ought to have been foreseen
consequence, that the supply Of money would
contemporary calls attention to fact which
is one Of many illustrations of the difficulty
of finding profitable employment for money
at present Within the last thirty-six days
ten millions of dollars Of city taxes have been
paid. This forwardness to pay taxes is with
out precedent the experience of previous
years having been that money could be em.
ployed to better advantage in the early part
of autumn.
And yet, with money SO cheap and abundant
there have been some failures within the last
week or two. These failures are of little sig
nifcance, however. except to the houses inn
mediately interested. Nobody interprets them
as premonitory symptoms of another panic.
The general business Of the country is too
contracted and too cautiously conducted to
admit of wide collapse. There is nothing
surprising certainly nothing alarming, in the
fact that few houses which barely rubbed
through the embarrassments Of last year by
the leniency Of creditors or the assistance Of
friends find themselves unable to go on.
Their hopes Of getting through depended on
full revival Of business this autumn, which
has proved vain expectation. Especially in
cases like that Of Mr.. Clews, who was pros
trated by the panic, but set on his feet again
by the favor and confidence of friends, every
thing was staked on large and profitable
business this fall. But the general business
Of the country rests OF present on solid basis
OF actual capital and cannot be shaken by
few sporadic failures. ts5s rs
