Reports from industries of this nature in all parts of the country show that they have been paying investments, and there is no cause why wa should not have an establishment of this kind right here in Rensselaer. Give it a trial. The Separated Butter Company report business in their line as very dull. The continued drought has caused considerable falling off in the receipts of milk, and there is some talk of a suspension of business her!. At present only 2,000 pounds of milk are received daily at the factory here, and at Marlborough only 1,000 pounds is received daily. The work on the great Momence rock cut is being pushed very rapidly. At present about four hundred laborers are employed in the removal, and that force will shortly be increased to five hundred, and itiS thought by the contractors that they can have the job practically finished by November 1. Last Monday was pay day and between $7,000 and SIO,OOO were paid out for labor on this great piece of work. The commercial agencies report continued improvement in financial conditions, and the disappearance of the premium on currency, together with a stimulation in demand.for staple articles at many points. The condition of great industries has distinctly mended, though still seriously depressed. More works, have resumed during the past week than have stopped operation. Business appears to bo regaining health, though slowness in recovering is to bo expected after its great shock. Failures for the week have been only 323 in number, against 885 last week. While one large mortgage company swelled the aggregate of liabilities for the the week, the average ot other I failures was lower than usual, 262 being for less than $50,000 each, and only four for over SIOO,OOO each. “
