The worst feature of a flood is the fact that the river is apt to leave a deposit of sand, varying, in thickness from one inch to ten feet, over a large nxtent of land that was formerly fertile.

BRIGHT HOPES FOR BUSINESS The Promts of tbe Early Passage of the Silver Repeal Bill Injects Fresh Life Into Trsde. n. Pun A Weekly Ileview Trade savs: T'ort is in sight after a long and stormy voyage, and the prospect of a speedy end of the struggle over silver repeal has brought bright hopes to business.

Stocks climbed rapidly for three days, banks relaxed re straints, commercial loans ar more freely sought and made, and reports from all quarters show the prevalence of a mora bopelul feeling. This of itself tends to produce some revival of consumption snd of Industry, which, nevertheless, has made but moder ate progress as yet. 11 is still loo soon to expect much effort In trade and manufactures, and though mone tary obstacles are to a lame extent there still remain other legislative questions wnien create nnceriainiv. A fact of real encourauemeut is Hint rail-. wav earnings for the third week ot October show increase of 8 per cent, over last year, the first increase tor a longtime.

N'otwithl standiiiK the large sales, the markets continued unusually strong. As yet there is seen only a continuance of the faint and slow increase in distribution of products which has been noticed lor some weeks Nor does even this gradual revival in demand extend to all branchts. The New York banks still acciiniiiiam money, and commercial loans are more largely asked and obtained. This enables merchants lo take goods out of bond ami may increase customs receipts, which have amounted in 2b duvs of October to lin.nus.- otil, against for the full mouth last year. Apparently the month de crease will be about 1.

per cent. Internal revenue Iihs been better maintained in the same time, against 91 lor the lull month last year. 1 lie number mid niavnilud of failures decreased less than Iih-i neen exnecicd, lh liabilities in three weeks of Octoberaninunt- syaiusl about f' the same weeks last year.
