.53s A New York letter says that, making
full allowance for the dullness that us
;ually comes at this time Of year, the
outlook for New York never was
brighter than it is at the present mo-
ment. The general state of trade is
satisfactory, all things considered,
and tWithstanding the disturbance
caused by the labor strikes, the num-
Der OF people out Of employment is
not large. It was feared that the
strikes would set all things back very
seriously, but fortunately that ap.
prehension now seems to have been
unfounded. All the working people
are receiving good wages, and SO far
as g casual observer can see, this large
class IS living at least as comfortably
as atSany other time. stf;
