BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
All Branches of Trade Gradu.
ally Showing
AN INCREASE IN BUSINESS

Business on Main street has been
better during the past five days than
during any equal period for months,
and it is believed even by the least
hopeful of the merchants that the long
looked for reaction has set in.
The improvement has not been COR
fined to any single branch of trade,
but in nearly every kind of business
sales have been increased, and at
higher prices than were rule short
time ago. There are several causes
to which this favorable change may be
attributed but it is mainly believed
to be the natural outcome of the con-
dition that prevailed several weeks
ago. In mart like Louisville doing
business is SO large territory, the de-
preston could not have continued
long, and the reaction was only natu-
raj after the season of stagnation,
The decided increase in the number of
orders from smaller towns and the in
quiry for prices from places heretofore
not supplied by Louisvill houses shows
an improvement which can not help
but be beneficial to the entire commu.
nifty.
The fall trade has begun in many
branches of business, and the travel
ing salesman of nearly every whole
sale house in the city are now on the
road to catch their share of the busines'
The force of salesman has been re-
duced somewhat this year, as the
business to be transacted is not 80
great as of former years, but. several
local houses have found it .nescessary
to increase the number of their drum
mers. There has long been a rivalry
between Louisville and Cincinnati
houses for the business of the central
POiiOh vi lhO Otdtc' bTuhllntTs lTOLl
both cities are generally in the field
early, and heretofore the business has
been about equally divided. From
the increase of the number of orders
now being received from points there,
it would seem that the Louisville sales
men are getting more of the trade
then usual.
The banks have added much to the
general improvement by their willing
ness to discount papers for their GUS
toners, and securities can now be con-
verted into cash on short notice. The
banks are not holding to every cent of
cash they take in, as they were several
weeks ago, and as a resnlt the mer-
chants have more confidence in their
own ability to successfully pursue their
regular course of business than for
merly. Collections are still somewhat t
difficult, but are not near so hard to
make as was the case month ago.
The demand for New York exchange
has not increased simply because there
has been but little occasion for using
it, and it Is still quoted at discount

The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-08-29

There has been some talk this week
about the probability of the extra ses-
sion coming to close before the first
of October, but the most experienced
Legislators will not express an opin-
ion as to the length of the session until
something more definite is known
about the probable length of time the
Senate will take to dispose Of the Vor-
bees bill for the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman law. The
House will not necessarily be idle
after it disposes of the repeal bill, as
Representative Johnson's bill provid-
ing for an exchange of United States
bonds for currency, at the option OF
the holder of the bonds, the interest
on which will cease so long as the
currency is retained, will probably
be reported from the Committee on
Banking and Currency soon after the
silver vote is taken, and the same
committee may also report bill for
the repeal of the tax on State bank
currency. But it may be decided to
do nothing in the House until the
Senate acts on silver. In that case
the House will only meet every three
days.

In addition to the silver debate in
the House this week, which has been
unusually interesting, two great finan-
, cial speeches were made by Demo
cratic Senator'S, one by Senator Vor-
hees, on Tuesday, and the other by
Senator Hill, Friday. Both of these
Senators are friends of silver and
both of them favor the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
silver law as the best method of pre-
lparing the way for other Legislation
