Financial Matters.

New YORK Oct. 27.-The Commercial
says: Monetary affairs continue in an
unsettled state. There is generel scarcity
of currency and some of the banks COM
plain of difficulty in meeting demands for
legal tenders There is still standing
outflow of currency to the South and
Southwest, which is only partially set off
by the current increase of the Nationa'
Banks. The street is almost exclusively
supplied by the private bankers and
brokers, the prevailing rate on call being
z per cent. The revival of speculation in
stocks has increased for call loans, but
there is no difficulty In borrowing on good
collaterals. There is general feeling of
relief, at the report that the Secretary of
the Treasury has no intention of making
any further attempts at funding the cur
rency until after the meeting Of Congress.
The withdrawal of $50,000,000 of currency
has produced a stringency which had
caused excitement and alarm, and it is
everywhere conceded that an early repeti-
tion Of such experiments would produce
the most disastrous results. .a:'
The stock market is decidedly stronger.
The leading bear in Erie having covered
his shorts In that stock, Is now understood
to be largely long in it. His action to the
bull side, and the consequent rise in Erie,
the leading stock, Is the cfief cause OF the
increased ilrmness. Atthe first board this
was the strongest stock on the list, opening
at 81 and closing at 02A, an advance of one
half on the last quotation of yesterday.
The total transactions In Erie were about
1900 shares, including a large number at sell
lers' option. Cleveland and Pittsburg was
sold freely and declined q. Northwestern
preferred was active under the operations
ofa dull clique, and rose IA. Govern
ments are quiet at the lower quotations at
London. The diplomatic passes between
MrIAdams and Earl Russell have checked
the demand on foreign account, and quota
tions are correspondingly weak. 5-2O's are
IA lower; 1905 show no improvement, the
recent decline having brought in buyers.
The price of the several issues was 1s high
er. The miscellaneous list continues quiet,
but exhibits more strength. Coal stocks
are strong, but speculation in them is held
In allegiance, pending the stringency of
money!. F . f", q

New. YORK, Oct. 26.-The steamer New
York, which arrived from Havana yester-
day, brought some specimens of gold ore
from newly discovered Isthmus deposits
near the line of the Panama railroad.
More extensive discoveries are expected to
follow and the Panama and AspinwaE
people are flocking to the new diggins,
and consequent rush to the Isthmus is the
general result. y..'.'- 'F '1'' IL "' +''
There is nothing later in relation to the

the Central American Republic. But we
have accounts ofadditional insurrectionary,
opposition in Columbia, and apprehensions
of some still greater demonstrations, as a
sort Of natural consequence of the invasion
of the State OF Panama from the State of
Cauca, the suppression of which we have
already chronicled. Cauca has recently
suffered an ifruption from the State of
Antuquica. This new war is looked upon
by many as merely the advance guard of
others with which the ever troubled CO.

OCTOBER, 1865, has come nearly to a close.
Tuesday next is its thirty first and last day.
1t has been remarkably pleasant month,
having been rarely, if ever, equaled by any
OF its predecessors of the same name, in
former years. 1t has been distinguished
for two remarkable eclipses-one of the
sun, and the other of the bogus Union
party in Ohio-both Of which were nearly,
though not quite total. 1t is predicted by
astronomers that it will take some years to
bring about a total eclipse of the sun; but
his political arithmetic must be sadly at
fault, who does not know that a single year
will suffice to cast the Ohio Dis nionists
into the shade OF a dark and perpetual
eclipse. s- -s''."

WAR, Pestilence and Famine frequently

We have had the first on a gigantic scale;
the second appears to be rapidly nearing
our shores. It'has already broken out with
great violence in the Spanish capital, Mad
rid, and its presence in London and New
York is hourly apprehended. The third
terrible evil, Famine, will be very likely to
follow severe and widespread pestilential
