The New York Time of the 23d of November publishes a fait and careful review of the present condition of the labor market in that oity, with special reference to the winter's probabilities. The conclusión is, that trades are not so lau;uishing as at the same season ia several ate years It is true that in souie trades ;he gupply of men is greater than the demand ; and this has been true of these same occupations for yeais past. Then, too, thn standing army of uuskilled laUorers is large ; it always is so ; and there sueins to be no alarining increase this Beason. Men who want places as clerkg, and those who are willing to inake themselves geuerally useful, non-producers and tradeless, are plentiful and readüy discouraged by the prospect before them. Female workers, it is thought, must suffer tuis winter. The nuniber of friendoss women seeking employment is large ; and there are signa of dull times for them. As this clans of sufferers is a sileut one, it beoomes the charitable and kindy disposed to remember that the workug women will nied help. Taken altojether, however, the situation is by uo means disoouraging. Certainly it does not oall for any thiug more than the exrcite of that thoughtful and discriminuting charity wbich every winter makel ndfnl in any larg oity.
