THE FALL TRADE.

The season being now sufficiently ad-
vanced to enable us to forecast with
reasonable certainty the extent and char
acter of the fall trade, we publish in
another part of the Bulletin the views
and opinions of leading merchants upon
whose judgment we are accustomed to
place reliance. The sum and substance
of these are, that while the volume of
transactions at the moment is moderate,
all the indications point to increasing
activity for many weeks to come. The
dry goods trade, the condition of which
is largely an index to that Of most 9TH
err wholesale branches, is in healthier
condition than it has been for any time
since the panic. Credits are sounder,
the weak spots have been pretty thor
oughly weeded out and if there is less
money-making than formerly there is
compensation IN the reflection that there
are also fewer risks and fewer failures.
Nearly all the great staples are doing
we'll, though market values in such COM
modities as sugar and tea are in posi-
ton to admit of improvement. A graf
flying feature is the unusually large
quantity of merchandise that is going
forward by the coastwise steamships to
Savannah, Charleston and other distribut-
ing points at the South, demonstrating
conclusivoly the improved and improving
condition of trade In that section. Con-
fidence there is gradually being restored,
and merchants are waking up to the fact
that tempting commercial opportunities
are within reach, which only need to be
sought for in order to be turned to profit
able account. Nor are the signs of in
creasing trade with other quarters less
encouraging.
What the agents of the great trunk
railroads have to say as to the increase
} of freights at present, compared witt
the business of previous seasons, is proc
positive that the country is recovering
its commercial energies and again setting
out on the path of prosperity. Th'
merchandise that is now being forwarded
from this point embraces a vast variety
! and the effect of the movement is to i'm
part fresh encouragement and hopeful
J views of the future to. all who are engag
ed in commercial pursuits. The poin
of extreme depression, it is now conceded
on all hands, has been successful,
turned.-Nesc York Bulletin.

The ChiIdren's Home Concert.

The concert for the benefit OF tho
Chidren's Home came off last evening
as per advertisement, and was, both Pc
cunisrly and unsteady, q complete sue
cess. The house was crowded. and
though the audience was, for the most
part, rather cold aud undemonstrative,
yet upon the whole, ali seemed to be
much pleased and grstifed q. the very
decided home talent possessed by this
goodly city of Wheeling
The first part OF the performance, the
Cantats of the Msy Queen, was
we'll rendered. Mrs. Caldwell, rs the
May Qleen, sang and looked very
sweetly. Mr. Lucas made the most mel.
ancholy, and the most lovesick. and the
most passionate of sentimental SWANS.
Miss SalIie Campbell, rs the Queen of
Englard, was dignlfed aud queenly,
while Mr.. Norton made prince of bold
ioresters. The chorus WAS well trained,
ard sang in good accord, and we are
specially requested to state, tina, MIR.
Sam. Wilson, of the Queens Guards,
made decided hit in MS character OF
supe. The second part, We Concerto by
We Ode Folkes, was very good indeed
as well as very amusing. We can rot
attempt to give the names IN detail OF
these old people; they are too long, and
psry scriptural. However, We will say
that aye big Fyddler," Father EzekiIl
Knicker becker created much fun, tuning
his fyddel, and singing his worldiie songs
and "Prycills Perseverance PringIe, she
that was u Stebbins' but better known
in these modern days rs Mrs. Whitaker)
fairly carried away the hearts and
hands OF the audience with her
"Oft in tie Silly Night" She was
indeed, the bright particular star OF the
evening. The charity for which the con-
cert WAS given is noble one, and
Will deriye much benefit from the
amount realized. We are glad On It's
account that the performance WAS so
well patronized, and can assure the Ode
Folkes of n hearty Welcome should they
come this way again.
