Financial affairs appeared TO have i'm
proved somewhat yesterday, and the move
Tnent in Money was brisker. Some Of the
Blankets mentioned a slight increase in the
stock Of Currency, hut generally we found
the supply rather in the decline, without any
closeness in the market; however, more than

Paper offered at l0C0l2 per cent. per annum.
Notwithstanding the Improvements mo-
tieed business in Third-street remains quiet

freely offered on Change at Sc so for Novem-

BosT0E Bo0T AND SHOE MARKET.-The
Shoe and Leather Reporter says Of last weeks
market: M 81 a-,l
There is no movement of consequence. The usual
quantity Of orders have been received, and
trade IL confined TO these and 70 the demand from
the New England States and British Provinces.
The inquiry for hne work, of Lynn manufacture,
has been very good, and fair rates have been OBJ
tanned. Other towns which make cOarser kind Of
Of women's and misses work, have not been gem
orally as successful. There Is no inducenent to
make up except on orders the trade are supplied
and will not require great quantity Of Goods for
the remainder Of this year. The movement in Stock
seems checked 70 some extent, probably because the
manufacturers nothing to encourage them to
