MONDAY, Nov 40. Pm.
To-day being sort Of emi-hoiday was generally
quiet one in all departments OF trade, the day
being devoted mainly to the discussion Of election
matters and the probable effect Of the result on
the financial and commercial affairs OF the coun-
try. The conviction seems to have fixed itself
upon the minds Of business men generally that the
present administration will be continued In power
whether for veal or woe-and business matters
seem to be taking shape under this conclusion,
though 1t Is acknowledged on every hand, now
that the campaign has closed that there would not
likely be any unusual disturbance In any event.
Still business will undoubtedly be more lively
during the next few weeks because OF the genera,
influx OF buyers after election, and it will, Of
course, be claimed by many that this is the legti-
mate result Of the elections but as this is likely to
be the last of political ciap-trap for some time
business men can AFFORD to pass it by unnotced as
they have the many ridiculous prognostlcations OF
politicians during the Presidential canvass The
movement on 'Change was only moderate in bread
shade better Pork and lard were quiet, but not
materially changed in price. Cotton was quiet and
&c per lb. easier for lots on the spot, but about
steady for future delivery. Petroleum continued
dull and was scarcely as firm. Naval stores were
quiet but frm particularly for rosin. whiskey in

By the above telegraphic statement it
will be seen that rise of some magni-
tude has set in at St. Louis, and comes
doubtless from the Missouri. A heavy
rise is also noted at Cincinnati and
Nashville, and the indications for a
good stage Of water in all streams above
for several weeks are much more favora-
BILE. White river is swelling slowly, and
the Arkansas is rising again, with ten
and half feet of water from Little
Rock out. The river here has risen an
inch and is now ten feet one inch above
low water. The weather is yet changea-
BILE and unfavorable to crops. Consider
able rain fell during the night, and the

The money market is without material
change to-day. The demand is active,
and borrowers repressed nearly all
branches of business. The banks and
bankers are loaning on frst-class paper

boarding their means in anticipation of
a close market between now and the LIST
Of September, some of the latter having
an eye to still better rates. Exchange
is easier from the fact that currency is
in better request, and rates between
banks are quoted at 81 so premium 2

terday 81 was paid Gold is in light sup.
