SUNDAY SCENES IN NEW YORK.
The scenes in New York Yesterday were in
marked contrast with those of the previous
Sabbath, and there was no excitement visible
anywhere. Last night at the Fifth Avenue
bankers and brokers who thronSed its vestibule
and parlors the Sunday evening before. The
general sentiment was that the financial trou-
bles will be fully overcome the present week
and that the fall business will be resumed upon
surer and more satisfactory basis.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS URGED.
The president of the First National Bank in
New YORK urges the immediate resumption of
specie payments, OIL the ground that such action
will Immediately add $50 700, 900 of positive re-
lief to the currency of the country.
RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS IN CHICAGO.
AT meeting OF the clearinghouse associa-
ton OF Chicago, Saturday night, two plans for
transacting business by means of certificates
we're proposed, but rejected, and il was voted
inexpedient to issue certificates at all. This
result, although surprise, Is generally com
mended, and it is thought the improved condi-
open doors for the transaction of business, and
that sufficient currency is coming in for the
purchase of grain to make up for that drawn
out OF the banks by country customers. The
officers of the Union National Bank announce
that they will resume business to-day,

ard d Co., employing heavy force of men,
succeeded in securing a limited amount of cur
rency, and paid two-thirds of their wages. A
reduction of force has been made, but the boats
on the stocks will be finished, notwithstanding
the scarcity of currency.
PAYING HALF WAGES.
Some Of the large employers in Philadelphia
could pay only onehalf OF the wages due Sat
urday, on account of the stringency in money.
II the panic is not soon ended the danger is that
this will become general; or what is worse, lead
20 stopping of work, as in the case of tae loco
motive works in Patterson.
THE GENERAL LOOK.
The suspension of the Union bank at Chicago
was not expected. 1t Is the bank of the city,
and in city which covered vast business
holding the same relation to the west that New
York does TO the whole country. The break
there, it is feared, will take a wide circuit and
bring more suspensions.
The stringency and discomfort In New York
city now leads to a revival of the talk of an
extra session of Congress, and also petition,
numerously signed, for the reOpening of the
Stock Exchange, which will take place to-
morrow.

The Economist notes with pleasure the action
OF the dry goods houses In keeping up their de-
posts and in drawing sparingly, and adds that
similar reports come from other lines OF bust
