An Eastern Paper Thinks it Sees the Day
The evidences that the tide has real
ly turned and that we are really enter
Ing upon season Of business prosperi-
ty, are too numerous and convincing
to be longer neglected. The test af-
forded by the amount of clearings at
the banks in the great cities is, per-
haps. the surest Indication Of the ag-
gregate amount Of business transac-
tons, and they show that there has
been an actual increase in the amount
OF goods bought and sold, since the de-
crease Of clearinys is smaller percent
age than is the average decline IN
prices. What is thus indirectly proved
of the Whole volume Of trade is con-
firmed by the reports of individual
merchants and Of trade organizations
in various branches Of commerce. The
demand is better, prices are frmer,
sales are larger than they have been
since the panic OF 1878. There has
been a general settlement of accounts,
the weak houses have dropped out, or
have been reorganized Oh q better basis,
and the way has been prepared for (:
really healthy trade. The promise of
the future is al the better when we
consider the time when the improve
ment begins. It is quite unusual for
business to be in good order in the
midst Of a great political canvass: least
OF all during the most active part of
the presidential campaign. We may,
therefore, presume that the sudden
recovery is to be accounted for by the
best Of reasons, and that it IS decided
~ likely to be lasting, when we see it
occur at the most rnfavorable season.
Oh general principles, that has been
since the time when the depression
came upon us.
