The Business Outlook.

Market reports indicate that the fall trade
is opening vigorously. For most of the
standard articles there is steady demand.
while the tendency of prices is in an upward
direction. Already this has had its effect on
! one or two of the great industries of the
growing demand and an Improvement in
price have had the result of putting ore banks
blast furnaces and rolling mills, that have for
several years been idle, into active operation.
not stopped with the mine owner, the manu-
facturer and dealer, but have extended far
Their, and have enlarged the wages of large
number of workingmen in the various de-
partments Of the iron trade. Ii nav be that
their pay is not now what it should be, but
in most instances, it is an improvement upon
what il has been. There is some danger that
in an effort to obtain too speedily the bene-
fits of the market, the iron men NAV defeat
their own object This metal is sold on
very close margin, and thus far the apprecia-
ton in price has not been sufficient to pav
more than small sum in additional wages to
the workingmen. TO attempt to unduv force
this proportion by violent measures could
hardly fail to end in n temporary arrest of
our upward progress.
The dry goods manufacturers have been
slower to feel the stimulating effect of better
ira lc for the reason that they have never had
their industry so far depressed as the iron in
terest. The mills have been run with but
slight ntermisslon. and at all times there has
been fairly large stock Of manufactured
goods on hand With them. therefore. better
times will not indicate an opening up of
closed mills, but an enlarged demand and
higher prices Statesmen who have been
travelling in the West report that in almost
every locality there is an astonishing i'm
provement Country dealers, who for long
time past have given their orders with great
caution and moderation. and seemed in their
negotiations to be in constant fear lest thcy
should invest few dollars in goods they
could not readily turn over, have this sum
mer made their purchases with great freedom.
and with confidence very similar to that en-
tertained seven and eight years ago. If asked

dences Of prosperity among those engaged in
agricultural pursuits. In word, the money
that is paid for our grain and meat in Europe
finds its way into and swells the great currents
of domestic trade.

Good Tidings from Litchfield.
LIrCHFiELD, Aug. 80, 1879

LITcHFiELD, Aug. 80, 1879.
To the Editor Of the heanebec Journal;
We are having lively times here in this old
staid town. The political storm has struck
us, and the people are aroused as have MOI
seen them since those terrible days when the
Southern portion of the great democratic par
" was in arms fighting for the destruction OF
our country We had men in our town in
those dark days, whose sympathes were with
their brother democrats in rebellion. Some OF
those men have since seen their mistake and
are honestly doing what they can to hold up
the hands OF the government against this last at
tack upon the honor, integrity, and life of the
nation but many of those who during the war
made haste to circulate the news Of each dis
aster TO the Union cause, and always remem-
berng to pronounce the war failure and to
prophecy the success of the rebellion and dis
solution of the Union, are hand in glove with
the fiat greenbackers, having thrown away
all principle and apparently forgotten the
teachings of their fathers. They seem to
have formed themselves into sort Of compa-
nv of heralds. whose duty appear to be to
carry all kinds of reports and messages, and
to industriousy circulate all sorts of SANDER
Gus stories which seem to start from the
head-centre or leader of the democratic par

Deathbed Reparation.

Apropos of the rise in Mammoth, they
tell a capital story about General Dodge.
Some time ago A. G. Brown, a we'll
known operator here, bought !, 1000 shares
of Mammoth from General Dodge at
three dollars share. This was when the
company was first organized, about eight
or nine months ago, and three dollars was
bed rock. The thing hung fro for a
long time. The Sierra and Nevada ex-
element came along, and nobody gave
Mammoth second thought. It was not
on the Board; it had no value, and you
couldn't really give it away. 1t went by
the name of "Dodge's pup" Assess
ments were levied regularly. Brown
talked long and loud, and the streets re-
sounded with his curses. He swore that
Dodge had swindled him, and by the
gods he was going to get even with that
warrior some day, come veal, come woe.
The day before the news of the strike
in Mammoth leaked out Dodge, who was
lying very low at Oakland, sent a tele-
gram over to Brown that he would like to
see him at once. Brown had heard that
the General was at the point Of death and
a feeling Of sympathy prompted him to
respond at once, so be took the next boat
