SUFFERING AND Distribution.
Washington, Nov. "a letter
received at the revenue bureau to-
day from the collector at Memphis,
bearing date of the 18th ult., states
that when, about three weeks pre-
viously, the collector arrived at
Memphis from st. Louis. he found
that everybody who could possibly
get away was leaving the city. The
officials adds that the yellow
fever has been a terrible scourge,
and no person can describe the suf-
| fering and restitution. There
were many families of four, six and
| eight members, who have been
| swept away, and there are now at
least two thousand widows and Or
plants entirely destitute, to be pro-
vided for, besides thousands who
are unable to work, or If able and
willing to do SO, can find no EN-.
ployment, and are dependent upon
the charity of others. Had it not
been for the noble generosity of the
northern cities, in coming to their
relief with money and supplies, the
suffering would have been two-fold
| greater. He adds: "My office has
been kept open all the time, and my
deputies while attending to other
duties, have done what they could
to relieve the suffering of Others
FINANCIAL SITUATION.
New York, Nov. 3.-The market
opened feVerish and excited to-day
stocks being heavy and low. Gold
strong and higher, exchange dull
and governments weak. The gen
eral feeling was one of uncertainty
not only in the stock market, but in
all financial circles. AS the facts
with reference to the Providence
house of A. s. w. Sprague, anG
rumors regarding Clsflin s. Co
were of somewhat conflicting
character, it added 10 this feeling OF
doubt. 1t was a fact that to-day
the pooling of greenbacks among
banks was to be discontinued, anC
all prominent bankers were of the
opinion that the result will be thai
some of the smaller banks might bt
tseverely cramped in their currency
aud might be compelled to suspend
at least temporarily. The depres
sion in the market continued unit
the first board, when prices became
better, and the announcement com
ing from the clearing house that
the banks to-day gained four mil
lions in legal tenders, and now
hold about eighteen millions in all
tended to restore confidence, and
prices rapidly advanced on all secur'
ties. At the close of the day there
was a general feeling of relief thai
no fresh disaster had come upon
the street. The gloomy prospect oil
the morning disappeared, and pros
poets are more cheering and more
hopeful.
