turers, there is on the other hand nothing
to discourage them.
Crops are good throughout this section
and the West, and prices will be fair.
The Bulletin, of Tuesdey, takes a
cheerful view of the situation and gives
the grnmblers and croekers healthy rap
over the knuchles
"The fact is that credits have been
contracted since the panici that contrac-
tion has been the rule in every depart
ment of business, and that, in short, there
have probably not been two years in the
history of the country so free from every
species of over-trading as the past two
Very likely there may be more failures;
in fact, more are expected, but the causes
of these date back to before the panic,
and their occurrence is no reason tor de-
ploring the present condition OF
trade. The trade doing now
il emincntly safe, and Is
adjusted closely to the absolute wants of
the country. We have very large crops,
and they must be marketed This alone
should make better business than we
have seen since the panic. There may
BE- obstacles in the way, like the present
block in the exchange market, which re-
suits entirely from the stupid legislation
of the last Congress and the mistaken
notions Mt Washington as to the best
WAY OF getting to specie payments. But
Europe must have a large amount Of
our grain and cotton; and what is want
ed will 90, even if gold has to be sent
over here to pay 'or it. The South has
not been in so good position tinan-
cially since 1860. There crops have
been raised at less than usual cost,
and at the low prices current can be sold
ut paying profit. The West is by
many millions better oil thar it was cN-
pectcd TO be six months ago and fnan.
cially was never sounder Ii these sec.
tions take goods freely. then the Eastern
and Middle States will feel it, and manu-
featuring interests will improve. 1t Is
natural that when the tide is turning,
many should be timid until tho turn is
more decidedly pcrceptlble. At such Il
time very much depends on tho tone or
feeling Of trade, and it is on this account
that the dismal utterances of people who
should know better are to be deprecated.
This class OF people groan from one
panic to another. even il there Is an
interval of fifteen years, and
are only too happy to chronicle
anything that seems to confirm what
they have preached. There never has
been year since the country existed
that wo were not according TO their
preaching, "on tho brink of financial
or commercial Niagara The facts are
that the affairs of the country are slowly
improving; that We never can have sub
stantial and lasting prosperity until We
havea sound currency; that we can,
however, with the currency We have, DO
much better than we have done since the
panic; that ut the present time there are
the BEST material conditions for a good
fair trade; that what most is needed Is an
intelligent understanding of the situa-
ton, which neither warrants great ella
tion nor depression, but which warrants
n greater degree of confidence than eX-
lists.
