 Members of the leading wholesale houses who keep . strict outlook on khe flact0ations in demand, said that the amounts which would be expended this year were larger even than daring thAt preceded; the panic. The stock became severely depieted while the sfnanclal depression lasted. and buyers heeitated to make purchases In any lines but that were absoi lately neces- saFy to supply their crstoners. For the first time In. years, some, ok the wnrero0raa actually took on an empty appearance; and nowhere was there that abundance of staple goods one had previously found in them.
 It must not be presumed however. that the demand for dry-goods among the peopio thesnselvss has yet returned to the point where 1t was before the panic The 9merchantste teverywhere. in making their purchases are figuring upou the release of the thirty-ftve or forty thousand bales of cotton now held back here. This will put ap- proxifnately S2. 000s000, Into circulation in, this vicinity. Those who best know the business. conditions in the city. consider them much better th4n they nave been for eighteen months. and profitable agricultural year purely as k bugabop.
 Indicative of returning prosperity.
