SALT LAKE, September 30. - The
financial situation has greatly improved,
the feeling OF panic having completely
subsided. A few certificates from the
mining camps and some accounts have
been presented and paid by the banks
and banking houses. Bankers are per-
fectly confident Of meeting every liabil-
ity. The First national bank, which
suspended on Saturday, is Strengthening
its resources, and will undoubtedly re-
sumo in few days. The national bank
examiner, n. P. Langford, of the Pa
cific coast, is here, examining the af-
fairs of the banks. II. Wadsworth has
become agent for Wells, Fargo & Co.
The tightness in the money market is
likely to cripple business in bullion and

sion OF smelters.

SHREVEPORT, September 2s.-Witbin
the last four days several of the most
prominent and useful citizens of Shreve-
port have fallen victims to the epidemic.
The population has been fearfully
thinned out by sickness and death.
We no longer have funerals. The
riages, dash through the streets like q
section Of artillery in q battle seeking a
position. A few more sre drummed up,
the coffin showed into the hearse and
driven rapidly to the cemetery. This
is the case even with the most
prominent citizens. The Howard's
have opened an orphan asylum, and are
feeding about two-thirds of the resident
population. There are fewer deaths and
new cases because there are fewer
people. The physicians appointed q
committee last week to investigate the
origin Of the epidemic, and evidence
has already been traced, showing be-
yond question that the fever was import
ed here from Cuba. Drs. Chaffln, Bruins
and Davidson, who are here from New
Orleans, are fully satisfied on this point.
The Shreveport Times Of tomorrow
morning will contain the following
appeal, which the Howard asso-
citation earnestly reqHests the press of
the country to publish:
AN APPEAL,
To our Fellow-Citizens:
The yellow-fever epidemic that has
already swept away more than four
hundred of this community is still
raging with unabsted fury in our midst.
We have now at least seven hundred
sick, Of all ages, sexes, colors and ma
tionalitie7, all Of whom, from the pecu-
liar character Of the disease, require con-
slant and skillful nursing. In addition
to this there are hundreds of people let
without cent and without employment.
Amongst them are many women and
little children. All Of them must for the
present be provided for and fed by the
Howard association, for there is no work
to do and no money to be had. The
destitution in our midst is as heart
rending as the disease and deaths are
fearful. The drain upon the
friends of the association has
been enormous, and the liberal aid
sent us by our sister cities is nearly ex-
hausted. Under these painful circum-
stances, we are forced to make this gen.
eral appeal to the country for additional
dlu. we nave ptopie hLuOilg US sulleIAbs
from want and dying from all sections
of the Union, and from ali nations, and
we feel that the great public heart will
respond to this appeal extended by the
most dire necessity. Our own resources
are nearly exhausted. The well are
broken down, the poor are threatened
with actual starvation and the sick and
dying are about to be deprived Of the
commOnest comforts humanity can offer
them. We appeal not to our fellow
countrymen, but to our fellow-men for
aid

THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE.

Business is decidedly improving at the
produce exchange, and much more
hopeful feeling is expressed. In fact,
business is said TO be getting back into
its old channels, and gloomy apprehen-
sions as to foreign exchange appear to
be yielding to brighter prospects. A
meeting OF the clearinghouse assOcia-
ton was held at the Merchants bank
this evening TO take action on the prop
OsitiOns submitted by the committee Of
the produce exchange to the cOmmittt .
OF bank presidents this morning with the
object Of aiding foreign exchange. d.
Hughes and MIR. Humphrey represented
the produce exchange, and spoke
in behalf OF their plan. They desired
the clearing ASSOCIATION to appoint a
committee Of five, representing as many
different banks, to buy commercial bills
with bills of lading attached, and make
a requisitiol On coin FOR issue Of clearing
house certificates for the benefit of ship
pers. The proposition was referred to the

tomorrow.

THE EFFECT ON THE PosToFFICE AND

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 29.-
The refusal OF the national banks in
Philadelphis to pay drafts upon them for
currency having threatened to deprive
the postal money-Order Office in that
city Of resources, on which it largely
depends for remittances from country
offices, they postmaster was to-day Ru-
! thOrized to draw for q limited amount
| on the departments reserve, deposited
in the sub-tressury at New York city.
Similar embarrassments were fOreshad-
| owed by numerous kilograms from the
western postmAsters on Saturday, but
they generally report to-day that the
banks have resumed currency payments.
The patent-office to-day refused to re-
ceive the payment of fees In certified
checks, except upon banks willing to
cash them. 1t is supposed that the fall
ing of in internal revenue receipts to-
day, as compared with last Monday,
namely, two hundred thousand dollars,
is mainly, il not altogether, attributable

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENT
URGED.
NEW YORK, September 29.-The Tn
6tlne tomorrow will contain a leader
advocating the immediate resumption
of specie payments, as the country is
passing its grandest opportunity since
| the war. There has not been since the
passage Of the legal tender act any f.
nancial situation or crisis that so held
out all its hands inviting to assumption.
Shall we let it go by? The crisis calls for
a firm hand, claver head and deter
mined purpose-thaps all. To-day's op-
portunity is for the country, for the
dominant party, for the Presi-
dent. Let the President is
sue his proclamation convening
congress in an extra session at eight or
ten days notice, with the sole object,
distinctly read in the call, Of legislating
for the immediate resumption Of specie
payment. For ten days past the
people have done almost nothing
but stand in front of the bal
snce-sheets and inventories and see
a rapid and constant shrinkage in
values offered. There is no knowing
when it will stop, for the simple. reason
that there is no financial hsrdpan.
Some time we must get back
to specie. That's admitted. Why
not now? When will there be a
better time? When would the whole
country be more benefited by it than
now? There ought to be craftsmanship
rough in congress to devise a simple,
practicable method. Let President
Grant settle it, so far SIS he is concerned,
10y convening congress, and putting up
on themIthe responsibility Of meeting
the emergency.
