FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The result of the Presidential Election
having relieved the market of suspense,
there was in the morning general increase
of the activity, and speculation appears to
have been started upon with the common
consent of all parties. The market exhib-
its more buoyancy than at any time since
last month. The market is higher through
out. There was more demand for stocks
and larger business was transacted. There
was a marked improvement in the standing
of Gold Companies;
Gold is excited, and the large specula-
tive purchasers are holding for an advance,
in which they are supported by the active
demand for export.
The price opened at 246, and reached
259, but receded to 254.
The increased speculation has produced
an active demand for money, and the ten
deney is toward slight stringency.
Rates on California exchange, per cent.
Discounting very dull. Foreign exchange
quiet as usual at the middle of the week.
Rates unchanged.
REPORT THAT SHERMAN HAS GoNK TO
CHARLESTON ooNTRADIcFED.
Persons connected with the Government
discredit the reported movement of Sher-
man upon Charleston, and state that there
is no official verriRcstion Of the state
ment.
RUhoRED sUPERoEDURE.
The HsraLds army of the Potomac cor
respondent says:
RumOr has it that Major General Butler
is to be relieved, and Major General Han
cock is appointed to his command. The
command of the 81 corps will then, it is
said, devolve upon General Humphrey.
AN UNCERTAINTY.
General Mesde's Chief of Staff does not
know wheter the army is about to 90 into
winter quarters or not. 1t is extremely
doubtful. If the weather continues bad it
will hardly be practicable to continue ope-
rRtions, but with the return of good wealth
er am satisfied that another effort will be
made against the enemy, either here or
elsewhere.
ABOUT THE FLORIDA
The Herald and Times have editorials
on the capture of the pirate Florida.
The Herald publishes Brazilian proc
lanAtion of neutrality, which declares the
ports cf Brazil shall not be made the scene
of hostile operation by either Of the bel
ligerents.
The Herald thinks the details, when
made known, will justify Captain Collins

PRESIDENT LINCoLN's SPEECH.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.
At late hour last night, President Lin
coin was serenaded by a club of Pennsyl-
vsnians. The President was loudly called
for and appeared at the window and spoke
as follows:
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS:
Even before had been informed by you
that this compliment was paid me by citi-
zens of Pennsylvania friendly to me, I
had inferred that you were of that portion
of my countrymen who think that the best
interests of the nation are to be subserved
by the support of the present Administers
tion. 1 do not pretend to say that you,
whom I think SO, embrace all the pstriet-
ism and loyalty of the country, but 1 do
believe, and, trust without personal in
terest, that the welfare of the country
does require that such support and en-
dorsoment should be given, earnestly be
lieve that the consequences of this day'e-
work, if it be as you assure me- and as it
now seems probable, it will be a lasting
advantage, if not the very salvation of the
country. I cannot at this hour say what
has been the result of the election, but
whatever it may be, 1 have no desire to
modify this opinion, that all who have labor
ed to-day in behalf of our Union organi-
zation, have wrought for the best interests
of the country and the world, not only for
the present but for all future ages. I am
Thankful! to God for the approval of Penn
sylvsRis; but while am deeply grati6ed
BY the confidence placed in me, if know
my heart my gratitude is free from any
tsint of any personal triumph. do not
ignore the motives of any one opposed to
me- It Is no pleasure TO me to triumph
