Our terms aie only $1.00 n year Ir. advance. Business continues to Improve, and the more hopeful feeling which has ap peared In one or two departments of trade has extended to neatly all branches, and their Is much less appre hension of a long continued depression than was expected a few days ago; con sumers are buying mom freely nnd the Eluinkngo In pi ices of many articles has apparently leached a point where a reaction may be expected to set In. So say our city exchanges.

The taxes on banks and bankers yielded $3,771, 031 a decreaso of nearly a million. Had there not been a repeal by Con gress of various stamp taxes and other Internal duties, this branch of revenue would havo yielded an Increased aggre; gate over tho previous year. Tho rev enuo from stamps was cut down over eight millions yielding $7,130,933; whilst the miscellaneous Imposts, which have all been repealed, paid during the portlou of the year they were In forco $0,239,782.
