The conservative tendency oi trade

months past, is still the predominant
feature in commercial circles. Buyers

point Of fact there appears 10 be no dis
position on the part OF business men 10
push things, except perhaps among

OF business men are disposed to swsit
the turn in the tide OF affairs, which in
the common course OF events it is be-
lieved cannot much longer delay. Ever
since the close OF the civil war the busi-
ness Of the country has been permitted
TO take it's own course, constantly e1-
posed to the perils OF expanded credits.

terprise. No merchant in the exercise
OF his clesrest Intelligence could do
more than to guess at the probabilities
OF trade the laws OF credit were set st
defiance, and men groped along through
the mist and obecurlty, trusting more
to instinct than to sight. while dream

down upon al classes, as it contentej

stances the delusive financial system Of
the country, developing fictitious pros-

attention, was tolerated until the sharp
warning OF the panic aroused the peo

apathy. Subsequently, the business in

Messrs. JUsTios. BArKxAN, x Co., Of

say: ...
We give below quotations for sales

The market is very bare, and until ths

facturers must pay the high prices that

the new clip begins to accumulate it is
quite probable that there will be a de-
cline; we therefore repeat the caution
OF ours OF the 18th ultimo. viz; DO
not pay above the opening prices of last
