A Very confident tone was exhibited to-day in Gli stock cireles, and, as will be seen by reference to prices, the market, if not active, was strong. Outside orders are reported to be coming tn, and cheap securities are being quietly absorbed by those who expecting an aavance in the not fiistant future. Conversation among tradesmen (Indicates @ more hopetui ieeling in their depart- ment, and there 18 Jair reason for the assertion of the belie! that the autumn months will witness renewal of prosperity turougnout the country. We baveseen the worst. Good crops are grow- ing, our people are ecunomizing, our export de- mand ts increasing, the railroads recently at war have made peace, and there are no disturbing elements at work that can be discovered, It 1s | Dut natural that sanguine and shrewd observers | of the financial situation under these oircum- stances should select the present as a favorable opportunity for investment, and that 1m respon: to sheir purchases the general market shoud be frm, with an advancing tendency. Sometimes Wall strect strikes the keynote of general prospérity, and it 1s not among the improba- Dilities that even nov it is echoing through the land, arousing fresh energy and inspiring new courage.

The un- expected decline which his taken place is gener- | ally ascribed to the action of Secretary Bristow in | purchasing silver for the retirement of the trac- Monal currency.

He ¢ays pe has already suid five per cents in pur- shase of silver, bullion and coin, The amount us dispused of will probably amount to between $10,000,000 and $11,000,000, The Treasury now tolds between $10,000,000 and $11,000,000 in sliver yailion and silver coin, Ove miilion dollurs silver suilion Was purchased on Saturday.
