The business intelligence from Great
Britain continues of serious and threaten
ing character. A condition bordering upon
panic has been induced by the recent
banking and commercial disasters. Though
fewer failures have supervened upon the
breaking of the Glasgow Bank than were
at first expected, there is such a strained
condition of financial affairs that this fact
has not greatly elievedapprehension. The
proverbial pluck of John Bull keeps him
steady in the face of misfortune, and as the
English are not "panicky" as we of America
they are not likely to go to pieces as would
a more exciteable people. In the mean
time, we are the sufferers as well as the
Britons. They are large consumers Of
our bread stuffs, and whatever effects their
markets effects ours to greater or less
| degree. The effects of this strain upon
the finances has depressed the grain
market already in our large cities several
cents in the bushel and it is to be hoped
that England may have no serious crises
in her affairs, for if she should, it would
doubtless cast q shadow across us just a:

THE large quantity of goods purchased
and brought to this town this Fall by our
merchants las per announcement in our
advertising columns) shows that they are
encouraged in expecting a most prosperous
fall trade, even if the peach crop was a
failure. To counteract the fruit draw
back, is the fact that our three great staples,
wheat, corn and oats have each yielded
large crops, and when we have these we
have permanent and solid values. There
is everywhere growing confidence. Our
city exchanges especially speak of the in
coming current of prosperity. The iron
manufactures all over the country that
have been so much of the time lying idle,
are almost generally resuming operations.
and the same is largely true of the shoe,
cotton and woollen factories. From Balti-
more the report is that the shops and fac.
tories are more active we hear less of the
want of employment on the part of the
working classes; our merchants and dry
goods dealers are doing better, and trade
wears healthier aspect. A similar report
comes 70 rs from Philadelphia and New
Ior'- 'l.ter city the principals OF
the two great houses of A. T. Stewart &
Co. and ClaAin e. Co. have expressed the
opinion that not only is there a marked i'm.
provement in general trade, but that a still
more decided change may be looked for
in the early future. Prices have reached
what is believed to be their lowest point
and the goods that find the readiest sale
are those that enter into general consump
ton. 1t shows that we have passed what
in mechanics is called "the dead point
OF course the activity in all branches o.
trade and business is as yet only compare
tive. But, as the movement progresses, il
will gather impetus.
