Dizziness Is the feature Il, business, but
dizziness with q hopeful Feeling In almost
every quarter. There is just now 50 little
anxiety ahout the money market that
little is said Of the delay OF the bond pur.

which may possibly defeat it. The pos

per cent, aud foreign exchange has de
clined from S4.SSte $4.87&. The more
pacific adyices from Europe render the
outlook more satisfactory, but the pre-
yailing dullness is everywhere felt.
Many feel the influence existing on ac-
count OF recent strikes. The railroad
difficulty MT the west does not abate, but
the feature most widely observed is The
disposition OF customers to act with CON
seryatism buying only as they are com
PEELED to buy, and this appears in many
of the leading branches of trade. 1t is In
part the fruit of expectation that prices
may be, lower, and in part due to
perception that the demand for consump-
lion has shocked, and ma diminish still
more. The failures of banks, or bankers,
in North Carolina, Mobile and Newburg,
has caused no disturbance, though it Ii
recognized that many weak spots must
always be found after aperiod of extraor-
binary speculative activity. Yet, on
the aggregate, failures are not more nu.
merous nor more important than those
OF the last, or the previous year, which
clearly indicates greater soundness in le-
Ultimate commerce, since the mum
