banks, IN the Chamber On Court Square yesfer-
day, bur, as is not in our market on
. Saturday, business had not the animation Of
the three previous days----T IN holders of wheat
and four were very firm az extreme rates, and
buyers held back. Bran is in good demand for
horse feed AT S2z a tun. Among the sales were
10000 barrels Of bacon at twenty-five eents--.-
Gases Of considerable hardships were spoken Of
as existing among planters IN consequence Of
the utter impossibiity Of obtaining proceeds from
the hitherto source &C ample supplies. 1t was
acknowledged that tn ease offhe Gotten planter

thai there were few plantations on which some
thing might moi be found from which money
might be raised. For instance, the article Of
hay Is very scarce in the marilei. the common
produet Of the Arkansas prairics IS taken with
avidity at a very high price. If the planter viii

had something 10 say about Memphis merchants
being afzdd TO ship there on account of a seizure
Of pork IN that city by Soy. Moore. There has
been no indications of any such fear bat if It
has existed, it is amply set at rest by an official
order. dated October 3, which hiss been issued in
that city in these words: by order Of his ex-

State, / hereby release the pork seized on the

First division" SO little dead piggy IS at

subject Of the proposed city issues, 70 theamOunt
Of S3O0,O00, there seems 10 be but one senti-
ment among the mercantile and monetary por-

probation. The measure has no friends. The
appearance 10 our streets Of the vile shiuplasters
Of Virginia was regarded with strong indigna-
lion. 1t appears possible that The Chamber may,
in some public manner, express the sentiments
which are universal in ou4 city against paper

step OF disseminating among our working peo-
pie the refuse shwhieh the people Of Virginia
are repudiating and refusing to take, cannot be

that the Chamber, at a meeting of its members,
should express its sentiments on this subject,
and recommend such steps as viii cheek the evil
