THURSDAY. Oct. 800 p NJ.
There was but little alteration in the commercial
status yesterday as compared with the preceding
day, though there some little Improvement in
the markets In isolated cases. The scarcity OF
funds and the uncertainty OF the fture OF financial
affairs still exert a depressing influence, and the
troubles all over the country growing out OF the
dearth OF money are also OF such an uniavorable
character that grave apprehensions are enter
tanned on every hand, and tend TO greatly retard
the trade movement. On Change nour was dull,
but unchanged. Wheat was firm, with
moderate inquiry for export, though No. Mil
waukee would not bring yesterdays prices. Corn
was firm, but the demand was comparatively light.
Oats dun, but without decided change. Barley

EDITORS CHRONICLE: I see cOmmu-
nication in recent number of your paper,
over the signature of " Boomer" which is
construed, if not intended, to do injustice
to at least two members of the committee
Of which / have the honor to be chairman.
The allusion to the "oldest member"
and the lone second in point of age" Is
understood to apply to two very clever
and, as believe, honest gentlemen of the
Finance, Ways and Means Committee,
who are as bitterly opposed to t; the payment
sue" of the Bank of Tennessee as am
myself, at least they have been in perfect
harmony with me on that subject, and l
have no cause to suspect their motives or
doubt their sincerity. These two old and
respectable and respected members of my
committee are above suspicion on the
"Torbett issue "-they are opposed to
paying it. Very truly yours,
