TO : weekly review of trade issued To-
day SAYS.
Business hs~ been waiting the
greater part of the week. and the egeS-
tions arr expected 10 give Il sharp
stimulus Whether men are right or
wrong in expecting better things.
the fact that they expscs them does
tend To make things better. Thus a
larger volume Of trade might be an
tieipated, although no present events
can alter the size of the corn crop.
nor make the demand for wheat or
cotton closer 10 the supply. Neither
can the election returns alter the tar

H. fsvcrably or unfavurahly. the situ-
alton Is exactly the same aS Il was be-

time Ia come Bat Il - fair ta infer
that further notifications Of the tariff
are rendered less probable by the elec-
