nUSINESS PROSPECTS.

New York Merchants In Good Spirits
Reports from Various Mercantile Pur.
suiIH.
New YoRE, June 9.-New York bust.
ness men are in good spirits over what
they claim to he encouraging facts in re.
ference to the improvement Of trade in
this city. They claim that the recent
warm weather, accompanied by the genial
rains, has made farmers jubilant over the
prospect Of their crops, and Western
dealers are freely giving orders, not only
for the necessities, but luxuries Of life. The
manufacturers Of New England are work
ing on full time and some new ones have
been started, Wages being low, they
have much larger force OF hands EN-.
ployed, and the reports OF the associations
Tor charitable relief indicate that the mum.
Der forced to be idle is less than has been
known for six years past. Although it re.
Quires close ciphering to keep the costs Of
OF production within the small prices OBJ.
tainabe, the turnout OF goods is unusu.
ally great. Many OF the mills have sold
ahead OF their production in woolen goods
and llannels, the increasing demand for
which has put up the price OF wool. The
demand for cottons, though not SO great us
earlier in the season, continues active ut
advanced prizes, and still further in.
crease in the near future is anticipated.
The leather market is brisk; there is a
better demand Tor carriages than has been
known for five years; the North river iron
furnaces are in full blast; Paterson silk
manufacturers were never doing 50 much
as now; Trenton potteries, iron works
and machine shops have hard work to
keen up with their ordersi locomotives,
though selling for less than half what they
brought few years ago, are manufactured
in large numbers with profit; ex.
Cellent reports come from the
mining and manufacturing interests
OF Pennsylvania, in spite OF the
low prices for coal; coal mines are running
on full time, and in some cases the iron
companies arc at work night and day.
Southern correspondence OF business
houses report an encouraging condition oil
trade and manufacturers. The tobacco
business has received an impetus from the
reduction OF the tobacco taxes. There is
an Improvement In real estate In this city,
caused by the extension Of the elevated
roads. An active trade has been opened
with Australia.
