Our Business Prospects.

The sanguine expectations which
were common throughout the country
in the earl y spring with regard to our
Immediate business future have been
materially modified with the lapse Of
time and under the Influences of fact.
For the facts are that the country has
recuperated from the effects of last
years panic much more slowly than
was confidently anticipated; yet, as We
fr,nly y believe more solidly. While
every branch of trade has been slack
and there has been much financial dis
turbance and no little Inconvenience,
the number of absolute failures in the
last six months has besn less than
might reasonably have been anticipated.
Whether houses have been holding
over, by-hook -or-by crook, in hopes Of
sudden and vigorous upward move
ment in the fall trade, We cannot say;
it looks somewhat like it, and there
are not wanting croakcrs who proph esy
any number of failures presently.
And, indeed, this is not altogether im-
probably, though We are rather in-
clined to think that the contraction Of
business has been rather the result OF
rigorous determination toward econo-
my, than to any temporary hopes Of
the autumn season. 1t is very certain
that the indications of the time are In
favor of this belief. The falling off
in importations and the increase If
savings bank deposits in this State,
are both to be considered in this light
Of the latter it may be said that they
present a solid frsnt of prosperity
which should be peculiarly gratifying
to those who have the interest of the
community at heart. An increase of
million dollars per month for the past
seven months. and the fact that our
savings banks are to-day in a stronger
financial condition than ever before, 20
far to display the good foundation Of
our present business situation. The
excess of assets of the savings banks
of this State amount to S23, 3,051 1853 on
June 80, an increase over the surplus
Of last year of s1,S56,925. With
these encouraging facts before us We
are convinced that although We may
not look for any immediate burst into
business prosperity. yet We may proper
ly look for a gratual but decided ina
provement in trade, each step Of which
shall be progressive and secure. 1t
would indeed be unreasonable to look
for any more rapid recovery than from
so serious and wide-spreading a panic
as that of last fall That We are able
T. see any such prosperity as is for
shadowed, is positively more than could
have been justly anticipated. But we
are convinced that our business men
have acted with more than customary
discretion and foresight in their affairs,
that they may hope to reap the reward
of their good Judgment and ecouomy
in renewed stability, and a certain re-
covery of our former business elasticity,
when the years produce Of wealth shall
have time to make its influence felt on
the different branches of business.
Large Credits very desirable thing,
certainty; but wise economy and the
festina lente principle, are the safest
guides in the long run. N. 7. Com
