Business of every description is almost wholly sus-
pended, and the transactions of the week have been
on very limited scale. The excitement throughout
fne country absorbs the attention fevery body and
there is no disposition to engage in trade.
There is nothing Of any moment doing in financial
circles Capitalists will be very apt to hold on to
their Money until public affairs become settled and
confidence is again restored.
Inc Clncinnatians seem averse to selling their
Flour and Provisions to any of the Southern States
and the Cincinnati Commercial says that shippers in
respect to the public sentiment have made no effort
to contravene it, bat on the other hand. have, in
several instances, gone to heavy expense in return
ing to store goods that steamboat officers felt uneasy
about taking, lest public indignation should. be
aroused by the act" This trucking to the mob
spirit of fanatica sectional party may in the end
be more inconsenient to the business men of Gin
cinnati than to the people of the Southern States

an extraordinary upheaving on the Stock Exchange
that day, the advance in some cases being equal to
10 and Is per cent on the quotations of the pre-
