BRIGHT HOPES FOR BUSINESS
The Promise of the Early Passage ofthe
Silver Repeal Bill 1njects Fresh

II. C. Dun Il Co.'S Weekly Review D
Trade says:
Port is in sight after long and stormy
voyage, and the prospect of a speedy end of
the struggle over silver repeal has brought
bright hopes to business. Stocks climbed
rapidly for three days, banks relaxed re-
strainls, commercial loans are more freely
sought and made, and reports from all quar-
ters show the prevalence of a more hopeful
feeling. This of itself tends to produce some
revival of consumption and Of industry,
which, nevertheless, has made but moder-
ate progress as yet.
IL is still TOO soon TO expect much effort in
trade and manufactures. and though none
tary obstacles are TO large extent removed,
there still remain other legislative questions
which create uncertainty.
4 fact of real encourage cement is that rail,
way earnings for the third week of October
show increase Of per cent over last year.
the first increase TOR a long time. Notwith
standing the large sales, the markets con-
tnued unusually strong,
AS yet there is seen only continuance OF
the faint and slow increase in distribution
Of products which has been noticed Tor
some weeks Nor does even this gradual
revival in demand extend to all branches.
The New York banks still accumulate
money, and commercial loans are more
largely asked and obtained. This enables
merchants to take goods out Of bond and
may increase customs receipts, which have
amounted in % days of October to SO 2OS.-
09l. against SlG 266, $50 for the full month
last year. Apparently the months de
