THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Brndstreet's for this week notes
Evidence of increased business at the
East ars beginning to appear. Bust
ness at the West is,if anything, more
active than last week, dry goods, cloth.
ing, boots and shoes, groceries, hard
ware, lumber and hats and caps, all
sharing in the swelling fall demand.
Complaints Of collections being affected
by farmers holding back their " heat
comeH from a large number OF markets.
TOO much rain for cotton is com-
planned OF in tho Mississippi Valley.
but in spite Of this the general tone of
business is good. On the Pacific coast
business IN relatively best in Oregon
and Washington.

r. g. Dun & Co. "a Review says |:
Prospects, of peace have had Curl
GUS influences on business contracts, not
quite o2plainable on, common sense
grounds. Nobody really feared diaas-
tor, or exhaustion OF national resources,
and nobody feared that anybody elss
ives afraid of either. Yet orders I'm
usual in number and size have been
placed since Spain asked for peace. In
some Industries the gains have been
| large for about two weeks, while in
aonle textiles manufactures it has only
| begun to appear this week, but it in
wolves considerable increase in the
working force. Crop prospects are on
ths whole more encouraging, for the
governments latest report aa to corn il
much larger than the commercial esti
mates, and it's cotton return promises 9
heavy yield, while allowance is made
for it's habitual error in its wheat re-
