FRIDAY Dec. 20-6 p NJ.
Business continues moderate in nearly all branches
and the markets remarkably steady for this
OF the year. The practical return Of the long
looked for specie payments carries conviction to
business that they will be safe in predicating
future operations upon gold basis, and we hear
only confidence expressed every hand. The move
ment of merchandise will. of course be slow for
time. certainly until after the holiday season
shall have passed. and a account Of stocks taken
and merchants know just where they stand The
outlook is unusually promising, and business men
generally congratulate each other having passed
through the great and heightened period Of
depression and NIL confidently look for better state of
affairs in the future than for long time past The
breadstufs movement has slowed off of late while pro-
visions could scarcely BIO depressed than for long

a Good Word for Ore gon.

In the american register, published
at Paris, of August Sd, we clip the foi-
lowing paragraph: but the most
complete Of the State exhibits is that OF
Oregon. Its displays of wheat, oats and
other grains Of various kinds is even
superior to the produce exhibited by
California, aud the wool, which is ex-
hibited in all quantities, certainly equals
any of the best and most renowned
woods of Australia. Dried fruits are
also great staple of the State, which,
though the improved manner of drying
or evaporating the fresh fruit, will Ill.
timately become one of the most yalua-
BILE article of export. Wood is equally
great resource of this State, and
there is hardly anything as beautiful in
the Exhibition as the cabinet which
stands outside Of the main structure,
and on which some of 0regon's woods
are displayed. The cabinet itself is y
real work of architectural art, it has
over l20 feet Of shelving, consists of
four tiers, and upon the apex is an
American eagle with outstreched wings.
The whole is IL iect in height, o feet
in diameter at the base, and contains
more than $4,000 pieces of wood; and
