Tuesday Eve, Nov. n, lesO.
During the past week business has not bsen q
sctivs q formerly, owing partly e the stormy
weather, and the decline in the prices Of grain
This decline has bean brought about by the IN
SCUM mess of our currency, which 10 liable to duo
tuate in value very often. With I'll these thing
| consi Tered, We cannot wonder at the limited
amount Of cur receipts Of grain during the past
week. Bat We can only hope for return Of bet
! ter times.
In monetary matters We have not much i'm
provement to note, although our Chicago ex-
changes advise rs to hold on 70 Illinois money
| and the opinion appears TO bs prevalent that il
will d on be nearly 1t par. This is based mainly
upon the advance Of Missouri and other South
ern stocks and Railroad securities. Indeed should
this rise in securities and restoration Of confidence
ment in business Of all kinds. Consequently the
revulsion under which our country has been L.
boring for tho past few weeks, owing to fear Of
Of the disruption of tho onfederacy, and the un.
soundness of:.our currency, will sooL be nnm-
bered among the things that were, and tho wheels
Of commerce glide smoothly on. But on..the event
Of another panic and threats of secession, We
kaow Tot what would be the resnlt, and do not
wish to predict. We live in hope that all may
settle down quietly.
During the past few weeks exchange has risen
rapidly, greatly to the disadvantage of our busi-
ness men. Yesterday exchange was selling at
tho rate Of sG6c, and only to regular customers
1t banks Gold is almost out Of the question and
is very difficult to obtain.
Wheat for the past week has been on the de-
cline, and the receipts have, consequently, been
fsred. Tho average price Of wheat has been 70
Qs75. although on Monday it declined to sO@65.
