A Hopeful Sign.

Chicago Mining Review.l
The present rather depressed con-
dition Of trade is hopeful sign for
the future. For many years, ever
since the civil war, in fact, we have
been constantly disoounting benefits
to come; trading upon the future. In
other years, promising crops have
been sold, eaten up and diRested-6g.
urativ~ly speaking = before the
husking- pin and threshing. machine
had begun their work. AS . nation
we have been selling our grain aud
other products to pay bills already
due. This year we will be sble to
pass something to our future credit,
and prosperous business for SOM time
to c.me seems assured. For nearly .
yesr it has been . bad time for specu.
lation; money for such purposes has
been diff .ult to obtain, and the gen.
rral financial stringency has checked
wastefulness il many directions. The
farmers, Rrosning under = load of
mortgage indie btedness, have restricted
their purchases and will now have
something left, after d,scharging Il eir
annual interest. with which to reduce
tho principal sum OF their liabilities.
