results which should naturally attend tne
inpsoved c1hdition of matters in respect
to 6thcr articles embraced in this branch o.
trnde. ..-s
FORK, Lard, butter, cheese, asd other ar
tinaS which ore included under the gsnersl
appellation Of" provisions" are lower thar
last season, although stocks are smaller
and the slaughtering Of swine shows thul
far considerable falling off. But with
corn selling st = low price, the production
of pork and lard y likely to be maintained
at full average for much longer perioo
than usual, hence steady and remuners'
tive trade may be expected.
A problem of breadstuffs Is involved 10
the future of wheat. Stocks are excessive
here and In England, and prices with VI
are higher than one year ago. The situa'
ton with reference to this staple, is not,
however, critical one, and in respect to
all other cereals every circumstance promi
ses q good seasons business. As for the
minor staples, no ground for discourage
ment can be found.
1t is quite probable that the value OF the
exports from the United States for 1870
will exceed any former year. They Will en-
brace more than 8, 900 bales of cotton
probably not less than 50, ,00o, 900 bushels OF
wheat, besides increased quan tiles of to-
bacco, naval stores, SC. But the most
marked increase in our exports will be OF
domestic manufactures. Their reduced
cost, the result of cheaper labor, cheaper
raw materials, and cheaper money, as well
as their intrinsic value, will commend them
to vastly wider array of customers. Our
exports of domestic cotton fabrics in 1875
were nearly twice as large as in 1874 ; and
although the increase was the effect in part
of some abnormal circumstances, the goods
we're transmitted to markets that cannot be
expected to buy Of us. A further increase
may probably be expected in 1875 to the
East Indies and South America. With
manufactures of iron, &C., the effect OF
cheaper production just begins to be felt.
A revival in our imports cannot be as yet
expected. As far a. the necessaries and
conveniences of life are concerned, we are
every year more independent Of foreign
countries, while for the luxuries the de-
mand must continue smaller, under the In
auence of the spirit Of economy which main
tains its hold upon our people.
We must repeat the conclusion, therefore
that the prospects for trade in 1876 point
almost uniformly to great improvement
over 1875. The long session Of Congress,
with its tinkering at taxation and finance.
will be found to be drawback; so will the
Presidential canvass; but the Centennial
celebration will compensatein in part for these,
and, taken all together, nothing but such
failure of the crops as is not likely to take
place can prevent 1875 being reasonably re-
munerative to manufactures and people en-
gagged in trade.-Graphie.

TRADE OF TINE CENTENN1 NAL
YEAR.
Prospects Of a General Revival Of
Business.

January is not usually an active month 10
mercantile circles, but rather the reverse.
New firms just organized and old firms re-
organized occupy some time in various
necessary preliminaries to active business,
and with ali the work of the month is usual
ly preparatory in its character. It cannot
be said, therefore, that as yet any decided re-
lief has been felt to the stagnation of trade
and the unsatisfactory course of prices
which we're so conspicuous in business cir
cles throughout the whole of 1875. Except
in few staples which are the object of
speculation our wholesale markets remain
very quiet, and complaints are heard on all
sides that business is dull, collections slow
and credit precarious. I
But that, to the man who buys and sells
goods as pursuit in life, the situation is
much more promising than one year ago,
there is no manner Of doubt. The great
complaint has been that profits were wiped
out by the steady decline in prices. Goods
purchased one week must be sold the next
at loss, if sold at all; and this process car
ried on for period unusually prolonged has
proved ruinous far and wide. The prospects
of more favorable course of affairs rests
mainly upon the fact that prices of the
leading articles Of manufacture, almost all
the staple products Of agriculture, and near
11, NJ iy,o
ports are much cheaper than last January.
The exceptions among home products are
wheat and petroleum =; and coffee stands in
the same relation among our foreign i'm
ports.
The shrinkags has been most conspicuous
among fabrics of cotton and wool OF domes.
tic manufacture. Many of these are now
selling at prices below those current in ante
bsuum times. Printed calieoes at 6hc. te

and delaines at 19c. .@2lc. are so cheap thai
it is scarcely possible that they can becom,

prospects Of the dry goods trade must b.
regarded as greatly improved, for all It ask
is the smallest profits, or at least immunit,
from loss, in handling the great fabrics o
household economy. Advices from New
England leave little doubt that excessiv
stocks have been worked off. Prices of tn,
raw material-of cotton and of wool--ar
fully twenty-five per cent. lower than on
year ago, and although supplies are some
what larger little danger is felt that disas
trous decline will take place such as tha
which occurred in cotton last summer an
brought ruin to the great house of Duncan
Sherman e. Co.
The grocery trade has suffered much from
the pressure of the times, but now finds 1t
self with smaller stocks and lower price
than one year ago, except in the singl
item of coffee-the position of which ma
be regarded as somewhat critical to tn
holders. Stocks are excessive and price

TINR-HONoRED SPEcIFIc.-The leng and
successful career of DR.. Wishart's Pine Tree
Tar Cordial, as contrasted with the speedy
collapse Of nostrums devoid of efficacy
which have from time to time been puffsd
into brief notoriety during the twenty odd
years that this celebrated medicine has been
sold, affords a proof that the American
continues to repose its confidence in de-
serving articles only. The Pine Tree Tar
Cordial has long been recognized as the
leading specific for Consumption. Bronchi
It's, Coughs, Coulds, Asthma, Diptheria, and
all other diseases Of the breathing organs.
1t is, moreover, certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Diser-
ders, Scrofulous Affections, Urinary Trou-
bles, Gravel, Dropsy, Debility, Constipation,
and Female Complaints. Constantly ac-
cumulating evidence of an unimpeachable
character establishes the fact that it not
only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by

Minnesota, like all the older Western
States, is exhausting her wheat growing
capacity, the average yield of the State run
ming below eight bushels to the acre. The
patent process of grinding spring wheat into
a fine pastry flour has, however, built up
great milling industry in the State. Instead
of exporting wheat she now exports flour,
