ExcItemenr Among the Merchants.
The New York papers, which in the main
commented more or less strongly on the pro-
hlbitory order, while particularly denoanclng
the criminal folly of perpetuating in this coun'
try the feuds of the old, give the following
items of interest in connection with the effect
of the superintendent's order.
At the close of the business meeting OF the
Produce Exchange on Tuesday, Judge w. z.
Bensel, q leading merchant, referred TO the ac-
tion of The authorities in torbidding the Orange
parade, and hoped that his fellow-members
would express their feelings on the suolect.

created great excitement, and several gentle
men rose and said that the Produce Exchange
was organized to facilitate the interests OF
commerce, and not interfere In other matters.

Damper Upon the Gunsmiths.
Among those who regretted the prohibition
of the parade were. the gun-sellers, especially
those along Chatham street and the Bowery
1t is difficult 10 get correct statement from
almost any OF them as to the exact influence
exercised by the proposed procession on the
munitions of war stocks. Judging, however,
BY the hints they throw out, and the beamlng
countenances they exhibit when the subject is
mentioned to them, their trade-barometers
showed rather high. One man said that the
sale of arms was twice as good as 1t was I'm.
mediately before the Canadian invasion, and
that If 1t wasn't Tor Kelso's interference, the
powder that would have been disposed OF

1t took to show our patriotism on the glorious
Fourth. The best trade, however. was done
by those who practice. the graceful art OF gun
securing and repairing. For the iast week,
they have been oyercrowded with work.
They all charged double prices, and, If things
had gone ON as these men tondly hoped they
would, 1t would have cost OF least the original
price of musket to have 1t put In "target'
