BUSINESS BOOMING.

turc Outlook.

Everybody in a Good Humor as to the Fti-
tnrc Outlook.
From the Richmond IVa.) Dispatch.
The far Northwest sends an encouraging
view of the business outlook also. The ST.
Paul (Minn.) GLOBE says that the signs of a
healthy business revival are growing brighter
every day, that ''the impulse of business i'm
provement is being generally felt and recog-
niZed, and in some places is very decided, -
and adds:
Zone of the best evidences OF quickened
business instinct is in the very hopefulness
and confidence becoming more and more
apparent. Everybody is sanguine, and
there is great deal in that. The spirit of
cheerfulness is contagious, and the excite
ment aud emotion which make a cheerful
prospect for one man will enliyen a dozen
others
And hopefulness and confidence, which
the GLOBE rightly says constitute one of the
best evidences of quickened business in
stiuct, are widespread. The spirit of cheer
fulness prevails not only In ST. Paul but in
Richmond; not only on the streets of cities,
but in the country; not only throughout
Minnesota, but throughout Virginia.
A gentleman who had recently trav-
eled extensively in Virginia re-
marked the other day that the feeling among
the farmers is one of profound peace, and
that everybody in the country Is in a good
humor. The indications are that labor in
Virginia is more settled than it had been for
years, and though the wheat crop promises
to be short, the tobacco now in barns will
when marketed, bring good prices and
the tobacco planters have every dispo-
sition to help their less fortunate neighbors.
Not only this, Tut the f0rmer-the planters
have great encouragement to put in large
crops, as there is reasonable certainty of re-
Enumeration that win contribute largely to the
general prosperity of the state. A we'll
known London tobacco authority SAYS of the
condition and needs Of the London market:
There is a general want Of tobacco all
oTer the world, aud prices rule high. Two
or three large crops of American, in success
sion, are wanted, so that there NAV be g
sufficient supply in hand for couple Of
years, should the growing crop fail. and
manufacturers not be obliged to depend Just
upon the chance Of the years crop. Another
reason is that it is vastly better for the
tobacco to be old aud manufacturers not
to DC com PEELED 10 use it as soon as sampled.
At present We have only about 5000 hogs
heads over q years consum ptiOn OF western
strips aud more than half that is in the
hands of few rich manufacturers, who viii
have old tobacco, and Of the remainder q
large portion viii either be too common or
heavy for our use here, so
that virtually our manufacturers
are going frorn hand TO mouth, and
when the sampling of the previous years
crop takes place here they have to buy for
immediate use. In Virginia there is no sur
plus 1t ali, and fne bright export tobacco Is
rot 70 De had"
With these facts before our people, and
considering tAzt the almost universal s6oo-
ton Of tie canvas plGat-bed system in.ures

Prised that everybody Is in good hsnos.
