rho business Revival.

From the N. Y. Daily Bulletin.
There is no mistaking, now, the mani.
festations Of improved and improving
trade in almost all parts Of the country.
Our commercial exchanges for the week
ending on Saturday bear testimony to the
fact, supported by such convincing de-
tails as must put incredibly at rest.
Beginning with Boston, the Globe OF
Friday says:
The increase OF activity in the leading
Departments OF trade and the more hope
mi feeling in commercial circles have be.
come conspicuous. There is, too, a brisk
er demand for manufactured goods and a
measurable revival Of manufacturing in
dustries. With the revival Of trade there
is naturally an Increasing demand for
money, but the supply is still so excessive
that il has failed to make any appreciabIe
impression upon rates.
The Prices Current, in its review for the
week, amply corroborates the testimony
Of the Globe. 1t says:
Nobody can read our reports this week
without feeling convinced that business
is steadily reviving. Some articles still
hold back, but the revival extends to most
OF the leading staples and industries, and
is enlargiug It's scope every week. The
movement Is free from speculative excite.
ment, and appears to be based on natural
requirements. We see the effect Of the
revival IN our streets, which are fast fill.
ing up with long professions OF loaded
teams, and on the sidewalks, where our
passage is, often blocked up with huge
bales and cases OF merchandise. Almost
every person that We meet seems animat-
ed with renewed life, and We find actiyi'
ty and confidence where, two months ago,
were only dullness and dependency.
Our own correspondent has noted the
many evidences OF .reyiying activity. in
Philadelphia, leaving nothing, assto the
situation there, to add here, except the
following from the Prices Current Of Sat
urday:
There is perceptible Improvement in
most departments Of trade, and the pros
pects for q good fall business are more
encouraging than ever. One Of the beat
features OF the times is the absence OF
speculation in any description Of iner-
chandise, although money is abundant
and cheap. 3 ~ 1 5f "
And the Journal Of Commerce Of the same
city Saturday adds:
Business is assuming more activity up.
town among the dry goods and other
iobbing interests, and the fall trade
promises TO be fair and upon a good
sound basis.
Passing on to Baltimore, the Sun there
makes this reports
In all branches OF commerce there are
indications Of q revival Of business. The
low prices 10 which nearly all kinds Of
merchandise has been reduced gives con.
fidence in the maintenance OF values,
though the disposition manifested to car
~ small stocks restricts the current
transactions. The same reason, however,
makes business constant, as stocks will
require more frequent replenishing, and
dealers in dry goods and all articles Of
general distribution look for full and
improving demand as the season ad.

Tho Pittsburgh Ga-sltsOt Friday tell.
US:
Trade continues to gain slowly from
day to day in nearly all departments
and while the improvement is not a.
rapid as could be desired by any means
II Is healthy and legitimate. There are
indications Of an increased consumption
OF goods in the interior Of the country,
and as stocks, especially Of Pittsburgh
manufacturers, are light, both IN first and
second hands, there is reason TO expect
an increased demand.
The Commercial Of the same city and
same date, corroboratcs this view, and
adds; ~ ...F.tI rs8
The improvement in some lines Of trade
Is gradually becoming more perceptible,
and many branches where hitherto we
have only heard complaints Of dullness,
now report increased business. The vol
ume Of business was better to-day than
for some time past; and while the great
staples Of iron and glass are still dull and
rather depressed, outside Of those lines the
commercial prospect seems more like
Qualifying the hopes Of improvement than
for some time past. ,rs
From the Northwest the accounts gen.
orally are Of avery cheerful character.
The Chicago Tribune of Friday reports:
Nearly all the banks report more &c.
tiyity, especially in demands from coun-
try correspondents. They come in the
shape Of paper for discount and orders
