While the effect* of tbe long-continued de pression} following the panic of last Septem ber arc yet v*?ry apparent, the accounts from different qjiart rs begin to record a gradual improvement it: business circles. Tbo great requisite for an active and remunerative fill trade?good crops?is near at hand. Advi oes from the West are highly favorable far %n increased yield of wheat and a fair aver age of other grains, and from California we hare tha aame intelligcnoo. The crop ac ooutiU from the South are also checring, and it looks as if the whole country was to be blessed with abundant harvests during the summer and fall. Every business man knows that good crops mean good business, and, meantime, (lie New York Bulletin says that mercantile credit never stood so high as at present, and the events of the future are likely to incroase the confidence of capitalists and financial institutions in the soundness of the morcantile fabric. One thing that has served to keep up tbe long depression and want of confidence has been the uncertainty in regard to the action of Congress on the currency. Now that we are approaching the end of tbe session, and with the belief that nothing really will havo been done by Con gress in the premises, there is a sense of re lief also from that quarter. As there to not to be agreemout as to a proper financial meas ure?one such as tho President could ap prove?it to satisfactory to see them "let well enough alone." FAIRFIELD AT WORK.
