REVIVAL OF BUsINEss.-The New York
CORES ondent OF the Ledger expressed on
Saturday the following almost cheerful view
OF the business situation:
Merchants are beginning to take more
hopeful views OF the business future than it
has been the habit TO indulge Of late. There
are many reasons for this. In the first place,
the evil effects of the silver bill, granting
that its passage is certain, have been to
certain extent discounted" With the
passage OF the bill there will at least be an
end OF suspense, and to men in commercial
life there can be nothing worse than that.
In the next place, The accounts from the
West show an improved feeling. Farmers
are sending their produce forward freely,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable condition
of the country roads, proof OF which is az
iorded in the enormous traffic Of the leading
railroads The results Of this are reader
collections and q prompter settlement OF
Eastern Indebtedness.
