years, rms is, tne report
which conies from all the
prominent manufacturing lo-

Whut is true of that region
is true in a greater or 'ess de
gree of the situation through
out the whole country; The
great manufacturing centers
of course, are the first to feel
the effects of any sharp
change inbusinessconJitiotis
favorable as wel! as unfavor

barometer. The panic struck

by tfie increased bank clear-

roao earnings.
Railroad earnings are slow
in reflecting the improvement
in conditions because of the
shortage in crops last 'year,
which has reduced the reve
nue of tiFi : ra.d from that
important source. But the
roads, too, are beginning to
leepond to the improved
influences, especially in the
manufacturing region. The
stock, cotton, grain and gen
eral provision markets re
main buljish, which ordinal i
ly is is a favorablesy.mptom.
In 1 878, when railroad shn res

upward,- the end of the panic
of 1873 had come and a bus-
