It may lose its sharp edge by some unforeseen event, but it is hardly to De expected that any serious chock will now occur. It seems fo be taken for granted that there will be a tariff law on the statuta book within a few weeks. Perhaps a g month is too short a time to give the legislators of the Senate. The assurance in regard to the tariff is the most potent influence in giving more confidence, but the good effects of Secretary Gage's sjteeches have by no means worn off, either in the United Slates or abroad. Satisfactory crop reports, increased railroad earniugs and the statement of bank clearings, which, considering the fact that one day of last week was a holiday, is favorable, are among the subsidiary Influences that are making for faith in tie future.
