The state of business in the United States is thus described in a
letter from Boston, dated the 7th of last July:--"The commercial world
over the globe seems paralyzed, and many manufactories on a large
scale, with the proprietors and stockholders, have failed, and are
utterly ruined. All business is confined to the wants only of the day,
teaching a necessary absolute economy, which men of business in times
past have not been accustomed to."
