Potatoes are in good demand, and

from the New York Daily Bulletin
"After the long. suspense following
the failure Of the November elections,
business has clearly returned to the
more confident tone and the impro' ed
activity that We're distinctly apparent
in most branches OF trade during the
fall season; and those who feared that
the improvement then realized was
but IA temporary squirt begin to feel
that it was really the beginning of n
steady and sound recovery from the
depression introduced by the panic Of
1878. Those well accustomed to OBJ

improvement in the tone of its beat,
and have no hesitation in pronouncing
a healthier diagnosis"

the whole half year, the amount was

Important fact not only demonstrates
that the stage of failure IL we'll nigh
passed, but it also shows how much
less mercantile profits are likely to
suffer from this source than they have
during late years. These facts show
that business is acquiring sounder and
healthier conditions; and when it hat
