To judge by the local pulse there seems to be a lull in business just now. The excitement attending the late visits of President Van Horne, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir McKenzie Bart and others, has died away, and nothing else has served to take its place. Collectors re- port that collections are somewhat harder, and money seems to be more close all around. Besides the cold snap of weather foreshadowing winter has had much to do with the present cun- dition. The lull promises to be only tempo- rary, however, as the fall trade, the in- coming and other i will serva to quicken the business pulse.
