signs of the times in New York to-day.
Crowded cars and the stages, no less
crowded stores and sidewalks. over
flowing hotels, overloaded drays, and
overfreighted trains and steamboats,,
all attest the activity of what is termed

Broadway at midnight during the past
four weeks might have thought that
this portion OF New York never went to
rest. Scarcely block between the
Post-0nice and Union Square but had
it, open stores and piles of merchant
disc upon the sidewalks; busy clerks
and sweating draymen, at hours when
ordinary citizens were fast asleep.

or less true of the entire country.

trade, and almost everybody within its
limits il working hard, and is being
paid for il. The docks and storehouses
along the river front Wore never put to
harder service since the busy DAYS OF

the Rebellion. The river and coastng
steamers come and 90 with Overlooking
cabins and immense cargoes of freight
of every description. The eve that is
native to the harbor and familiar with
the names OF vessels trading here will
to-day find vessels taking in loads of
grain and cattle that were never before
in the American trade and that have
been brought now into requistion to
meet unparalleled demands.
