THERE are 'ssold chunks of truth in these
remarks of the Shoe end Leather Reporter |:
The fact that business is considerably less
active thus far this year than it averaged last
year, may be accepted as good or a bad
sign, according to the deduction drawn from
it. Confning our observation to our own
trade, we are inclined to regard the present
as an improvement on the past. 1t does not
follow, as a matter Of course, that when
traffic is unusually brisk the auguries of pros
perity are most propitious. To the extent
that there IS legitimate demand and steady
consumption, trade may be vigorously pressed
without any great apprehension of danger to
seller or buyer. 1t may be presumed ordina-
rily that men do not contract for goods with.
out expecting to find customers for them, nor
without intending to pay for them. Conse-
quently, if their expectations are not disap-
pointed, the chances are their intentions will
be fulfilled. Bot if it should turn out that
they were over-sanguine, and had engaged
more stock than they could dispose OF, and
were bending beneath the double weight of
crowded warerooms and distended bill book,
the result will be very apt to show thae both
debtor and creditor would have Jared better
if business had not appeared so temptingly
lively when their mutual bargains were
made.

Our attention this week has been
called to petition addressed to Mr..
Irving. superintendentO OfOur railroad,
and numerously signed by the bust
ness men of the city, politely asking
Mr.. Irving to change the time of de-
parture of trains from this city, and
also for a respectable passenger coach,
such as lady or gentleman would not
be ashamed to enter. We have one
arrival and one departure of trains
daily. The trains leave at 5:45 i'm the
morning. being so early, it is a source
of great inconvenience te freighters.
and arrives at $50 in the evening
but the time of arrival is not a mat
ter of serious grievance. The accom-
mediation of passengers is not nearly
so good as ii was under the manage
ment of DR.. Converse, who always
had a passenger car attached to his
trains, but now, travellers are compell-
ed to put up with a dirty caboose. 1t
Is hoped the petition will bring about
the very desirable reformation.
