STEADILY INCREASING.
Dun's Report Gives Hopeful Outlooks
for the South Especially.

Duns weekly review of trade says:
Business failures occurring during
the past seven days number for the
United States 2O7, Canada 4S, COM
pared with a total of 249 last week
and 259 the week previous; for the
corresponding week last year 21S,
representing 100 failures in the Uni
ted States and % in Canada.
The Improvement in business con-
tinues. 1t is greater than before at
the West, considerably improved at
the South, and is clearly perceived
even at the East Yet the discour-
agement in some branches of indus
try is not less, but more apparent
than before, evidently because calcu-
iatlOns have been made upon a more
rapid and greater increasein business
than have been realized; premature
expansion in some forms of prOduc-
ton and of trade has invited the
! usual incorrect view and a depression
exists which is so general that it
might easily be misinterpreted. In
the speculative markets tendency
to reaction in stocks has prevailed,
the Bank of England has advanced
its rate of interest and gold imports
have been for the time being checked
Wheat rises &c without any excuse
and speculative manipulation has
hoisted corn DC, but pork products
are a shade lower and cotton declines
a sixteenth with continuing heavy
receipts. Oil has fallen 3-Sc but cof-
fee is a shade stronger, and sugar
unchanged.
No fears are entertained of none
tary pressure, for it is not believed
that the advance in rates by the
Bank Of England can much diminish
the shipments of gold to this coun-
try.
Foi he time it caused some selling
of American securities on foreign &C
count. but the market was stronger
afterwards. The treasury has put
out 81 100000 more new treasury
notes, bat has taken in the same
amount of other forms of money.
Throughout the East aud West, and
almost oil Southern points, the
n:i'. markets are we'll supplied for
T. ate business, and rates tend
,oa:., .,hiie collections improve to
some extent almost everywhere, but
especially at the principal Western
points.

Confidence.

Coufi. ence is the foundation upon
which all orders are built, whether it
be social, financial or business ofany
nature. In fact, its the ground work
of the christian religion and is simply
another word for faith, knock that
that prop from under it and the
whole system falls chaotic mass.
Take confidence out of your social
order ard doubt and suspicion runs
riot in the land. Take confidence
out of the financial world and it
shivers it in to irretrievable ruin.
Its the faith we have in the world
and it's people that moves it without
jar or friction. Destroy that faith
and blear eyed doubt looks out with
trembling suspicion. If this be true,
and we do not think there are many
honest men who doubt it, how careful
ought we to be in discharging the
trust imposed upon us in our several
capacities of life by which we win and
maintain confidence.
