New Yonw, Dee. 14i—Tine hollday season s upon s, and merchants and toy-dealers are putting forth their enericles to eateh the usual holtday trade. But the indications now arethat 1t will be but a gorry cateh when it Is all count- ed. Never were the prospects for business o gloomy at this season of the year within my ex- perience, numbering some twenty-five years, 1 am brought fn daily contact with business men of all fifnde, and find the complaint. of exvep- tionally hurd times unlversal. Stores thut have been opened with u speclul eye to the hollday trade find searcely any customers, [t s true that there s something behind the hard tmes which affeets thielr business, anll of 1his they complaiu bitterly, This grievance consists of the fact that merchante of all Kindy now maken specialty of holkday puods, thus eutting futo the regular trade o toys, ete. We il now our largest retafl ry-groods dealers filling thelrshow- windows und their shelves with toys of all sorts for children, ss well as the more pensive goods deslgned for Christmas pre for the adult populatfon. While the toy-deal- ers complain of this practice, the retafl dealers are virtnally foreed to adopt the plan hecause thelr cnstomers are lnrge purchasers, and pre- fer dofvg all the trading they have to do in one place us far as practicable. Beeldes, they have AN TYE TO TILE PIOFITS made upon holiday gouds, and are no wise loath to appropriate themn. Tt is wonderful to sce how these old and well-known dry-zoods houees are at present absorbed in this trade,—houses thut one would searcely suspect of going out- slde of tlieir legitlnate sphere. But even these, conspleitous as they ntike this feature of thelr business, are far from satisfed with the amount of sales they are now meking. They complain unceasingly of the hard times, Cus- tomers who bave heretofore heen be- yond the necessity of economiziug, now confine thelr expenditures to the smallest pessible sums. As for holiday presents, they mako e £10 bill do the work here- tofore required of 8100, They’take the cheaper quality of goods, and, I fear, many a pensioner on thelr Christimas bounty tn years gone by will find themselves neglected when Cliristmas comes, Yet the stores and sirects present a, beautiful and most temptingappearance. Ever- gredns and trimmings for Christmas trees and for the hbusc line the sidewalks in the vicinity of the markets, nnd nany a booth In the up- town streets are simlilarly decorated. Shop- windows nbound fn new and attractive toye, around which pgather crowds of handsomely- dressed women, Intent on shoppini, mid fully determined to meke tielr small silowanee of hetiday money go just as far a8 possible. The BTAGNATION AND GENEHAL DEMORALIZATION which bas fallen upon ull buslness has becomo a serfous matter. During fhie two or three mionths preceding the election there was very marked fmprovement in ull branches of trade over what it _had been vor the three previous years, Coufidenco gcemed to be restored In Al directions, and there was a prospect that we bad really reached the bottom ol the panle, and had began elimbing the 1t of pros- perity again under fuvoruble cirenmstunces, But then eame the election, followed by the cloud of uncertainty, which stitl overshadows It, and there was an end to business. A locomo- tive, running on a straight track under a full Jiead of steawn, when suddenly thrown from the track, would not iwscet with o more sudden ek 10 its career than did the business futer- ests of this city immedintely after the clees tion, Trade fell to zero ut one swoop, and without any previous numouncement. It was an emergency for_which the country was wholly unprepared. Had either party triumphed by pin unquestlonable majority, there would bave been no pereeptible shock to busiuess; but when the result wus delt In doubi, and partfsan feeling was stirred to ftsuttermost depths; whendoubt nnd uncertainty ueurped the place of contidencu; when ) ' LOUD-MOUTHED NRAWLERS AND BRAGGARTS Blustered and threatened; then vn} ital took the alarm and withdrew into fts shell, Never did perplexed cam deaw In its head and ehut uE lts sheil quick All new coterprises were aban- doned at once; those woleh could be suspended wers stopped where they were; large orders from country merchants wero countermanded, and the Jobbers withdrew thelrs to the manu- fucturers. Money again beenne a druz fn the vaults of the banks, there belug few who ven- tured to Invest their surplus however flattering offers wero wmde.

BALT Product of the Michigan Brine Wells, #ipectal Dispatch to The Tribune, East 8401NAW, Mich, Dec. 16,—State Salt Inspector Garrigues has just lssued the efghth annual report of the State Salt Inspector for the year ending Nov. 80, 1870. It shows that the past year has shown a marked increase in the manufacture of solt, and Michigan 1Is now rapidly taking o front position as a salt-producing State. This increased product has been partly owing to more extended areas of the State that are coming In every' year as salt producing, but 1s mostly owing to an in- crease of manufacturing capacity in the old salt localitles, where greater attentlon s pald to tho cconomy of manufacture fn the exhaust steamn and therefuse fuel from the saw-mills, During the summer and fall nonths there fs reported to be quite o large falllug-off in the supply of brine fn many of the salt wells, and ou this ae- count tears linve arisen that the supply of hrine was beinr exhausted. Acting upon these fears 4 subseription wus made 10 put down & test- well for the purpose of further developing the Michigan salt ~group, now known as the Waverly group. This well fs now in progress, and from previously reported and published records of welli, brings in other localities of this State which have struck another sand rovk, contalning rich supplies of rine. There is 1o doubt of the success of the undertaking. and the Ipvestization will be re- warded by finding avother supply of brine in this sand rock, Judging from the above-men- tiuned records, this sand rock will be struck in the Saginaw Valley, ot somewhere within 1,700 to 1,500 foet from the surface. The salt-vroduclng territory of the State has Leen divided during the past year fnto ten jn. spection districts, having 2 manufacturing capacity 0f 1,500,000 barrels, or 9,000,000 bush- cls, The area of salt-prodocing tesritory s con- stantly increasing, ten large steam blotks hav- Iz been erected during the year, The entire amount of sult inspected o the State during the year g us follows: Barrels, Fire salt..
