The Ptlbiic's comments: Commercial
transactions for some week past have
shown no settled and steady tendency,
favorable or unfavorable. The export
business is large beyond precedent, but it
ia evident that there is no corresponding
expansion in the domestic trade. The
traffic is less speculative and more heal
thy than it was some months ago. but
there is reason to apprehend that 1t may
increase hereafter in the fact that ex-
changes are not generally we'll maintain
ed, either in large markets of wholesale
trade, or in the manufacturing cities. The
best tnat can be said of the commercial
situation, is that it pauses and hesitates.
There is no sharp recition, for the decline
in prices has called ont considerable buy
ing both for consumption and export; but
there is no vigorous and healthy increase
in transactions such as was witnessed for
the same month of last year, and the re-
turns tend to strengthen the position OF
those who belieue that no such increase is
to be expected until the prospect as to the
coming crops here and in Europe is more
clear.
