SIGNS OF GOOD TINES

| The Fall River, Massachusetts, mills have
! again resumed operations, and no further stop
| page is looked for during the present year. Ir
tact, some OF the mills have contracted in full
| or in part for their production until next Oc.o
| Der, while others have orders ahead which ill
require full running time TO that date. Near y
all these mill have agencies in New York, and
by far the greater portions of their produc-
tions are distributed frSm this centre. When
they prosper. tie New York dry goods trade
must flourish.
TIC farmers CT the West and Northwest are
the great consumers OF American manufac tni-
Ell GOODS. The enormous export Of Wheat corn,
pork and beef during the Last few years h as
placec them In stronger financial condition
than ut any previous time since the war. The
splendid haryests which now confront them
bid fair to outrival IN aggregate prodU ctIon
anything the country has yet seen and it is
almost certain that our exports of wheat and
corn for 1876 AZ will exceed even those of the
memorable year 1873 al, when they obtained
their maximum. namely, 105 474 529 bushels
SEce 1873 "a vast regoEs of new land have
been planted in corn and wheat. The farmer,
rhen, will be able from the surplus products
OF his farm to crafty every reasonable want.
1t IL this healthy condition of the agricu
interests. which has already given certain
Impetus to trade az our buslness centres.
TIE depression which had 80 long prevailed
has given way to feeling OF hopetulpess, we
might almost say bu"yaucy. Should present
anticipations as to the harvest be fally real
izeo, 1t must greatly help, in restoring the bus
mess OF the country to IFS LOrmaI condition,
which is still seriously ielt among the trading
classes of our large communities N. Y San.
HE CROPS In GEORGIA There seems TO be
DO donbt that the provision crop now uatur-
ing IN this STATE viii be amply sufficient for
homo consumption, with possibly some tn
spare, and the same may b. said OF Florida.
From every section of the Stnte comes the
gratifying intelligence that the prospects Of
au abundant yield of corn are more favorable
than for years past and the crop is SO we'll ad-
vanced towards maturity that no contingency
likely to prove disastrous is apprehended. Even
in oisrrlo:s where a want of rain ID reported,
no very great damage ia anticipated, for the
reason that the careful cultivation to which
the Drop, as a whole, has been subj eoted ena.
bies it to withstand every caprice of the sea-
son.
What has been said of corn may also be said
Of cotton. The crop is rank, vigorous and
healthy, and, with anything like favorable |
seasons, the yield, as compared with the area !
table prices were as favorable as the prospects |
of satisfactory yield, planters would have |
little cause for complaint.-SdrGnnahN etcs.
All of cur mills report that their stock of |
goods is smaller than any previous year Of |
This time. While the profits have been light |
'he demand has been unusually good during |
he whole summer. The country generally is |
bare of goods. The late great dry goods sales
n New York showed that there were two pur-
,hasers for every package offered. We pro-
sumo that our mills will, as usual, have clear
ID out their stocks of goods by Novem Der. We
notice large shipments having been made in
he lsst few days by our leading MILL Colunr.
