Have We Seen the Worst Of the
Pnnin3 - n. --l !

The present panic was violent in iti
inception and has run q violent course ol
several weeks duration. The order Of na'
ture Is that q violent storm soon clears the
atmosphere and restores an equilibrium
speedily. The question is whether the
panic has as yet spent It's force; whether
It demands more victims more closing ol
industrial establishments; more unem-
plcyed thousands, or whether the vast
shrinkages that have taken place shall
now stop and money become easier once
more and confidence return again among
the people. The Pittsburgh Commercial
makes bold to prophesy that the worst is
over that we shall see no more big fail
ures that the protest Of the California &
Texas Construction Company Is the last
thing Of the kind that we shall see, and
that henceforward there will be change
for tho better. Referring to that protest
1t says:
"As disastrous as this failure seems, 1t
has not been wholly unexpected by those
inside money circles, who saw to what
extent the parties have been driven the
past six months to raise money.
To be able to say, u told you SOTO
prophesy after the event, Is not o very
cheering reflection. But looking over the
situation as q whole, we will indulge in
the prophecy that this will be the last
failure OF any importance to the country
at large. Small houses that act only locally
and whose suspension will only be felt
within small radius may, and probably
will, go down, with the usual accompani-
ment OF individual hardship and distress.
That there will be any more such suspen.
sions as during the last ten days, that draw
the eyes Of the whole nation to them, we
feel assured there will not"

The Capture Of the steamer Virginius
..Execution of Prominent Persons

The Capture Of the Steamer Virginius
..Execution of Prominent Persons
on Board.
HAVANA, Nov. 1.-THE Tribunal at
Santiago De Cuba, before which the per-
sons captured on board the Virglnius
were brought, condemned Beruabe, Var
ona, Vedro, Cespedes, Jesus Delsol and
Gen. Ryan to death, and they were shot
on the morning Of the 4th.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Depart.
ment of State up to noon today had re-
ceived no official Information concerning
the Virginius, further than the mere fact
Of her capture. The Navy Department
has no official news on the subject, there
being no government vessels in the neigh
borhood Of the place Of capture. Regis.
ters have been granted to vessels to con-
tinue until they are sold or change their
names. No intelligence relating 10 eth.
er Of these points as to the Virginius has
reached the Department. The books or
the Treasury Department show that the
register originally granted to the Virgin
ius remains unchanged.
The news received to-day OF the exc
cution of prominent persons captured on
board the VirginiuS occasions much sur.
prise in all circles, 1t not being supposed
that the trial would be as summary as 1t
was. The subject was discussed at the
Cabinet council.

The Iron Market.

There are about fifty blast inrnancet
in the Mshoning and Chenapgo Valleys
its said that three .fourths Of them will bt
stopped within o few weeks. Inthe Lake
Superior regions there are about thirty
furnaces, and II Is also said that's large
number OF these viii "blow out" soon Il
the present depression in the business con-
tinues.
The shipments Of ore from Lake Supe-
Eior to Cleveland and other Lake port
from the middle Of May to the 2sd Of oc=
tober amounted to 100000 gross tons,
This Is larger than ever before. Owing
to the panic, however, and partly perhaps
to over production, the price Of pig iron
has fallen SO low that 1t cannot be manu-
iactured except at a loss, and the conse-
quence is tho stoppage Of blast furnaces in
every direction. y tE5 A5a&
At Cleveland there are four blast jur-
naces and seven or eight rolling mills,
employing 3,0o0to 1000 meB. A CORES.
pondent Of the New York Tribune says
that the furnaces will doubtless stop very
soon, and whether the rolling mills viii
continue on full force as at present, de-
pends on the events OF the next four
weeks. ''5e "'.
And by the way, good deal depends
on the next four weeks everywhere, at
Cleveland, at Pittsburgh, at Wheeling,
and several other iron markets.
The Tri5unts correspondent further
says that the Cleveland rolling mills
aAre suffering more from the scarcity
of money than other iron manufactures,
owing 10 the fact that their business Is
largely connected with railroads, which
are charged with being the main cause as
well as the first victims Of the panic. The
other branches of iron manufacture In
Cleveland arc very extensive, and include
eighty.fiye mills and factories making
rails, steel screws "a new article), stoves,
boiler plates, springs, &c. These are all
running on the usual time, and with very
nearly the usual force, though most Of
them are talking Of reduction soon u1-
less business improves. Their trade Is
largely with the west, where currency 10
either plentier or boarded less than in
the east, ss they all represent that their
collections are lar more easy and prompt

Alexander T. Stewart Is an Episcopalian,

St. Barthlomew's church, near his former
residence, where he has had seat In the

oldlgentleman praying there for his daily
bread when the close OF the service would
find him at the lowest calculation $400
richer than when 1t began. As to his

Scheffelins, and the Suydams, and other

an organ. Hence this Is almost the only
church in the city which Is deficient in
this instrument. A. R. Emo, once the
great merchant, and Shepherd Knapp, the
noted flnancier, are also Presbyterians.

The Treasury Drawing on Its Reserve
The outstanding legal tenders are an
nuunced this morning as up to 1851 ,7N,'
27l, or about eight millions in excess ol
the ordinary amount. The President said
in hisle,ter to New York party not long
since that in case the banks Of that city
did their duty in sustaining the business
Of the country the forty.four millions
Of reserve would be considered as money
in the Treasury and subject to the exigen.
cies Of the public interests. There is an
e1igency now upon the Treasury, wepre-
sumo, that compels the Secretary to use
bis reserve without regard to the acts OF
the New York banks. His receipts from
internal revenue have fallen of below his
necessities lor money to pay accruing OBJ
legations, and as he cannot sell gold at q
time like the present he is forced to draw
on bis reserve for current funds.

MONEY AND BusINEss.-Yesterday was
another unsettled and rather gloomy day
in New York, on account oi various for
eign and domestic rumors touching the
Standing of business concerns. The Penn.
sylvania Railroad contributed to this un-
settled feeling by voting TO pay a scrip
dividend instead Of the usual 8 per cent
cash dividend. The affairs Of that Com.
pany have been pretty freely discussed OF
late In connection with this expected
dividend. We notice that Colonel Scorr
has rendered his resignation as Vice Presi.
dent Of the Company. {
In regard to the forthcoming action Of
Congress in relation 10 the currency,
General BUTLER, OF q meeting in Boston
a few nights since, made a speech in
which he took the ground that 1--WE ought
not to return to q specie basis. until we
can do so without troubling any one in
the slightest, without cutting down
wages and troubling the debtor class in
the least. The rate Of Interest, too, he
thought was much too high, and should
DO reduced"
The Cincinnati Gazette of last night
iAys that there Is steady Improvement
1t the tone Of the money market there.
The banks arc discounting with increased
freedom and some Of them are taking all
the acceptable paper offered by depositors
as and 10 per cent In the open mar
ket" there is daily palpable increase in
iheamount Of money obtainable on prime
business paper at II and Q per cent per
month"
The rates at which bills on Europe are
now selling in New York makes 1t very
praotable to buy them up and draw the
gold In London where money Is worth s
per cent. This depressed price for
bills in New York Is owing to our large
exports as compared with our imports.
They are In excess OF the deman and
ibis fact depresses the prices for our pro-
duee.
The Pittsburgh. miners strike Is esti.
mated to have cost employers and en-
ployes an aggregate Of from 81 100000 to
100000. The egood accomplished is by
20 means apparent; the evil consequences
are lobe found in the fact that Ii took com.
fort and food from the miners families, in.
VOlVed lOss Of business to operators, devel.
Oped idleneas and possibly dissipation,
and increased the priceof coal, o burden
ohe poor generally. IS
THE value Of 800 these times Is well
illustrated by one Of our exchanges, In
which we find the following paragraph
AN Dover, on Thursday, a one hundred
dollar bill actually paid debts amounting
to$l0OO, and within eight hours returned
TO the man who frat paid It out In the
morning. Il happened that A owed B
800. He.paid It. B owed @ $100, 80 hi
paid the biil over to him. Thus 1t went
