Reviving Trade.

Our exohanges from all parts of the country affirm the statements in regard to ths favorable outlook worn hy business. The over, worked merchants and salesmen in New York, the streets busy after nightfall and crowded with pack-/ inn boxes, tell the same story of revival. There is an active aad firmer demand for breadstuff's, and ths eable cslls for exports to the continent and to the United Kingdom. A Presidential campaign Is not generally regarded as provocative of business or industry, but the times require eeononty in ths use of money, and thus far polities have been conducted without the brilliant and oostly demonstrations so common in other years. This is mi omen of good and might be made i precedent for fulnre campaigns. As the new era dawns, people are urged to improve upon the wasteful methods of business so common in the past. Thu New Orleaaft papers notice the arrival of eolton and animation to the wholesale trade. The Cincinnati Priot Current says, **the tide of busmese bs* turned.” In Minnesota, country dealers have light ■took and are buying freely. The sidewalks of 8t Paul are oovered with gooda for shipment. The Bt. Louis Tbustfays that “lumber, grain and provirion paper ia offered In increased amounts, and bills on Eastern aad Southern cities arc more numerous.” and refers to the increase in the number of eonnftry buyers. From Chicago oomea a like report, and hi Pittsburg the gals Is “healthy and legitimate.” The Philadelphia Price Current says, “One of the bent features of the times Is the absence of speculation in any description of merchandise, although money is abundant and cheap.” Aad a Boston P *“Businea* is steadily miring. Some articles still hold bahk, hut ths revival extenda to moat es the leadtog staples end industries, and is enlarging its scope every Week. The movement is free from speculative excitement, and appears to be based on natural requirements. We see the effect of the revival iu our streets, which are feat filling up with long processions of loaded

teams and on the sidewalks, where eur passage is often bMiidu* with huge balsa and oases of wftahs*' dies.
