The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1896-11-13

Bradstreet's of Saturday reports as
follows on the business situation:
The expected has happened in the
success of the fight for sound money,
aud the result is return of conf
dence in the stability of va'ues and
an carly revival of demand for
staples. Lower rates OF interest and
a willingness en- the part of banks 10
make loans which had previously been
declined are additional evidence of
the meaning of the maintenance Of
the gold standard. Business was
practically suspended hlouehout the
country early this week and there has
been little increase in, the volume
since the election compared with Ike
periods in preceding weeks. But
manufacturers and iobhero ale more
inclined TO purchase in advance in
stead Of for nearby wants only. and
in few lines, notably wool, cotton,
iron and steel, larger volume of pur-
chases is reported. That merchants
generally share the confidence 10 an
early revival is indicated by harden
ing staple prices and the increases in
quotations in addition TO those given
in preceding weeks. The gold which
had been Withdrawn from savings
and other banks by timid depositors
is flowing back into the banks much
faster than it was drawn out, and adj
vices from various financial centers
are that wages and small checks are
being paid freely in gold this week.

Carolina-then still IN a measure I'M

But though again and again the mar
