Financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past Week.
BstscssH ETrss GSG R~Gfsr.

No important change took place in the
money market during the week. The de-
mand has been quite moderate, and accept
able business paper mas been negotiated
with ease at 1O(912 per cent, either for To-
cal or time drafts on the leading Eastern
cities, but the offerings of the latter class of
paper have been very light. 1t is very diff
ficult to negotiate paper not regarded first
class, and those whose credit does not stand
in the very FIRST line, find the money mar
ket stringeat,in the extreme. The aspect
of the political difficulties of the country
has not changed essentially during the
week, one way or the other. No progress
has been made toward any compromise, but
all continue to look with intense anxiety to
the Inauguration Of the new President with
feelings of hope and fear-hope that some
course will be adopted that will lead to
harmony and concentrate the conservative
elements of the nation, and fear that this
will not or cannot be done. There are indi-
cations in the seeding States of dissatisfac-
ton and jealousy, which it is supposed will
make it impossible to unite firmly and per-
manently, and here and there conservative
sentiments are being expressed which are
being interpreted as sign that the sober
second thought of the people is coming into
operation.
The new loan of eight million dollars,
recently advertised for by the United States
Government, has been taken on much bet
ter terms than had been expected, which
shows that faith in its permanency still ex-
lists. Money is abundant in New York at
6(d)7 per cent. for call loans, and indeed in
all the leading markets, East and West,
capital is most abundant, showing general
stagnation of business. Private letters from
New York report continued suspensions
there, chiefly ofhouses engaged il the South
ern trade, and represent the prostration of
business as being very great. Real estate
had not only largely deprecated iu value,
but is, in the main, unsaleable There is
no doubt that division Of the country
would be most disastrous to New York, and
it is the fear of this which makes capital
lists avoid investments in real property there
just now.
The demand for sight exchange on New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, during the
week has been about equal to the supply,
and the market has ruled steady, without
essential change in quotations. Not much
doing in New Orleans. American gold is a
shade easier. We quote:

changed, and the market has ruled steady
for the higher grades, very fine extra
choice samples in some cases bringing II
@73 good fair to prime selling at 64@7c.
Coffee advanced }c and has been in good
demand. The attempt made by the Senate
to put duty on this article of 5 per cent.
has had some influence upon the market,
but we find that the House rejected this as
well as the clause imposing similar duty
upon tea, and it is likely the Senate will
assent to the change,so that both will contin-
ne on the free list. Molasses having largely
declined during the week, in New Orleans,
kept our market quite unsettled and prices,
except in the retail way, nominal. Hold
ers believe that this decline is but Temporal
ry, and are not disposed to sell below 34@
35c, whilst buyers are holding of, and the
sales have been quite light. The course of
the New Orleans Market during the week,
can be found in the dispatches from there
given in another part of our paper.
There has been a gradual improvement in
the market for provisions since our last ;
the demand improved toward the close, and
purchasers had to pay rather better prices.
Holders have exhibited great firmness, and
the quantity offered during the week, has
been quite light, though equal to the de-
mand. Mess pork has been held with firm
ness at SIG 750I7, generally, but those
having orders to fill succeeded in filling
them at prices a shade below these rates,
though at the close good brands could not
be bought below SIT, and a round lot sold
at SIG IS, at Ripley, o., delivered at the
pork house, which is abouta a mile from the
steam boat landing. The leading city
packers have not been offering their stocks.
During the greater portion of the week,
the business done in bacon was confined to
small lots, at 7, Q and 1O4c for shoulders,
sides and clear sides, and 81 for Sides back
bone out, but Monday and yesterday the de-
mand became more pressing, ana better pri-
ces had to be paid to procure enough to
meet it, and the sales during the two days
add up te 400 hhds, at ], 81 and lO5c, and
at the close there were more buyers than
sellers at these rates, holders generally
asking Il, 81 and lO3c.
Bulk pork was neglected all the week
until yesterday, when 10000 lbs sold at
81 and sic, for shoulders and sides, and SC
for light hams, which, however is rather
above the market price for the latter. Hold
ers asked at the close st, 81 and 81 for
shoulders, sides and clear sides.
Lard has not changed during the week
the demand has been trifling and not much
done, but holders are firm at 94c for a
strictly prime article, though small lots
country were bought at ole.
Keg may be quoted at IO0lO4c, but no
demand We did not hear of sale of i'm
portance during the week.
TaIlow in moderate demand at 8(0S4c

THE BRAVE AT HOME.

The maid who binds her warriors sash,
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash,
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles !;
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed q drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husband S sword,
Mid little ones, who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word
What though her heart be rent asunder2
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle;
Has shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few warm words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on freedoms field of honor

Inactivity Of the Southern Army.
A letter in tho Savannah (Ga. } News,

A letter in tho Savannah ga News,
dated August 9th, says:
The chief topic of conversation here is
the inactivity of the army. Much criti-
cism has been passed upon Gen. Beaure-
gard, and those who are believed to di-
rect the movements of the army, more
particularly respecting his failure to oc-
cupy or destroy Alexandria and Wash
ington city. Congress called for infor-
nation on this point, and the President
referred the inquiry to Gen. Beauregard.
who, in bis answer, placed the blame
where It really belonged. He had been
for weeks almost beseeching the War De-
partmcnt to supply him with the material
needful to carry on the war-men, am
munition, provisions, wagons; but tho
quartermaster's and commissariat depart
ments being in incompetent hands, the
day OF battle came and found our gene
rails without the means Of carrying the
army forward. Quite an acrimonious
debate shrung up in the House upon the
reading ohthis answer, in which Messrs.
Miles and Chestnut, Of South Carolina,
who had been on the staff Of Gen. Beau
regard at Manassas, and had supported
him in a mos: gallant manner during that
eventful day, found it necessary to vindi-
cate their great chief from the aspersions
which certain members were disposed to
throw out against his military reputation.
Since the 2lst July many circumstances
have combined to keep our troops in a
stationary position. Rain has fallen in
great quantities and almost necessarily.

wagon transportation, and the marching
of large bodies of troops, and there has
been a great deal Of sickness among our
soldiers-probably 20 per cent. are at
this time unfit Cor duty. Our generals,
however, have been strengthened by new
accessions almost every day, and the

was filing more and more with sad,
troubled emotions. Gradually pride and
vexation gave way to the old tenderness
for Jennie, and as thought of the long,

The darling girl put both her arms

well at last.
