MONEY AND BUSINESS RAsr.

From the Express.l
Net0 YORK. DfY GO0IS.-There has been a
perceptible diminution in the aggregate amount
of business during the week, both with the
package and jobbing houses. The activity
which existed among the trade during the ear
lier part of the month is now nowhere visible,
yet the demand is more steady than usual ut
this time, when the season-s passing from one
class of buyers to another. The Southern Trade
is now for the most part over-the bulk of buy
erS having returned, home, and the houses do.
ing business with this section are mostlyidle.
The cash and nearby trade is coming in
quite freely. and will probably be very good in
he aggregate. The volume of business with
West promises to be fair, but it will be consld-
erably under that of some previous and more
prosperous seasons. Collections are improving
of late, butt will take that section sometime
yet to entirely recover frcm the embarrass-
ments oflast Fall. The prospect of better prl-
ces'for their produce is encouraging, but with a
short crop, and the want of sufficient means to
move it to the seaboard in time, we fear the re-
vival of trade will not be as rapid as was gene
rally expected, during the forepart of the sea
son, and Western merchants, who are still in
arrears, will have to wait little longer before
they will be placed npon the same footing, OF
enjoy the confidence they did previous to the
financial difficulties.
There will probably be good trade done dur
ing October, in anticipation of which the jobbine
houses are replenIshing their stocks, which were
pretty well reduced by the active demand, dur
ing the firsttwo weeks of September.
The clothing houses are entering the market
to purchase goods to make up their spring
stocks from, and, in consequence, some style:
of Woolcns are little more animated, but I'M
changed. Foreign staples and desirable fancy
goods keep up their prices unusually well thi:
season, more particularly some of the latest
novelties in French goods.

British fabrics, but being mostly recorders Of
seasonable styles, have been nearly all distribut
ed among the trade.
The Austria, burnt at sea, had n large cargo
of Dry Goods, including many desirable things
now wanted, the loss of which will be felt, but
not enough probably to cause any material adj
vance in stocks now here.

CoND1TIoN OF CLENENs.-rhe Richmond En-
quirer of yesterday contains the following ad-
vices concerning Mr.. Clemens condition.
1t may be proper for US to say that we have
seen advices of later date, by letter, than this,
which speak in favorable terms of his progress.
The Enquirer says:
Knowing that wound of the nature of that
which Mr.. Clemens has received is such as re-
qnires considerable time before one can form an
opinion as to the ultimate results, we have so far
published no report of this gentlcman's physical
condition. Since the occasion of the wound he has
been attended by able medical skill at his hotel
in this city he has not appeared to suffer much
from bodily pain but has borne what he did ex-
Perience with great deal of resignation and
hope. Ofcourse then, as he still suffers some
what from the effects of his wound, his condi-
ton is still somewhat critical and it may even
tuate that amputation of the limb will be neces-
sary. It is to be hoped, however, that such
will notibe the case. During the last few days
he has suffered more pain than previously, as it
is theitTying time in regard to the wound ut, he
continues to maintain his calmness and cheerful
ness, and is us easy as could now be expected.

prevent such result has never had its equal in
the political history Of the country He works works
hold up under the effort he is making. He
spends money lavishly. He has sold his fine
mansion in Washington, mortgaged all his prop
erty here, and If he is beaten, he is considered
to be not only politically, but pecuniariiy a

The CUES. BATTLE IL EURoPE.-We wouldn't
be much surprised if some body would nomin-
ate Morphy, tho great American chess-p1ayer,
for President yet, as he is now the lion abroad,
and attracts more attention than any of our
ministers. Heis the prominent man just now
in the London and Paris journals His recent
tough, through and defeat FIRST game) at the
hands of Harwitz, the German Jew, in Paris,
doesn't diminish the confidence of his friendsat
home, by the way they talk. The New York
Express, when the news was received that Nor
ply had been beaten, published a paragraph to
that effect, and was obliged to face the music of
a volley of communications, from which, of
those printed, we clip the following:
Does one swallow make summer? Would
the writer of the above, or any Of his Gallo
friends, like to apply the confederation test to
his opinion? If so, let him impure at the New.
York Chess Club for the owners Of the initials
subscribed to this communication, and he will
be furnished with numerous takers OF a wager
that Morphy will not only beat Harwitz sound
IT, but also Anderson, the German chess.player,
Jaenisch, the great Russian, and erefy cheses
master of Europe who dares to cope with him.
The fact is, that none who have not sat across a
chess board with Morphy can really appreciate
his towering genius for the game. The world
has never yet produced his equal. He has a
mission to fulfill in Europe and will not return
home until the entire European chess world
shall acknowledge that in Chess, as mother
matters, westward the star OF empire takes its
way" But my only object is to say, that Nor
PHYS friends here will back him against the
world. &c. no more advice, but "down with
your metallics," and let your conscience or your
''pile" be your limit w. j. A. P.
Also:
An article in this mornings issue has sent
forth the impression among your numerous
readers, that Mr. Morphy has more than met
his match in Mr. Harrwitz. think you are
rather hasty i'll your conclusion, and will,
doubtless, be convinced of this when you are
informed that the same result occurred in the
match Mr.. Morphy had with the celebrated
Hungarian chess player, Mr.. Loewenthal, and
which resulted in a glorious victory to the
former.
My impressions are, that Morphy will be tri-
umphant in the present match with Harrwitz,
and one of the best reasons for supposing SO is,
that Mr.. Harrwitz has been beaten repeatedly
by Mr.. Stanton, and Mr.. S. was beaten "two
straight games" by Mr.. Loewenthul, after the
latter had played his match with Mr.. Morphy.

MATTERS AND THINGS ABOUT 3 osroN.
.t CFrom the Boston Post.l

From week to week the is there same unvarying
tale to be told of Boston money matters The
financial sea is in dead calm, and there are no
clouds, even of the size of a mans hand, to in
dictate change Of weather. Business is fair in
many places excellent in few, but the condi-
ton Of the vest and interior of the country in
general, as well as the statistics of our export
and import trade, proves that a considerable de-
gree of stagnation is the rule, and activity the
exception. Upon the whole, we think people
are somewhat disappointed at the slow pace at
whichthe country tlneEges from the Slough of
despond, which, according to many, was the
reedless creation of New York banks and bro
kers, butwhich, in our view, was the inevitable
result of corporation and individual fraud, of
over extended credit, injudicious banking, recll-
less trading and general extravagant in living.
Still, tho conservative are satisfied with the
progress Of affairs towards improvement during
the last year, and all must acknowledge that
howsoeyer tedious and apparently improbable
may be the period of amendment, it is better in
the long;ru for the convalescent to move slowly
but surely Stewards hcalthfulness rather than to
rush ahead for awhilesand then experience the
relapse that would almost necessarily follow the
exertion and exposure of weakened system.
