A Day Of Financial Quiet.

:. C1Nr1NNATI, o.. Oct. 3s-This has been
d day OF comparative financial quiet.
There, was some anxiety early In the
morning concerning tho results Of the day
at the New York Stock Exchange, but
this soon disappeared in the face OF favor.
able news both from the movement In
stocks and in tho financial field generally
In New York. The bankers at the close
Of banking hours to-day were very much
encouraged; in the walks Of general
business there are still many who look
with solicltude to the future, but q much
larger number to-day have expressed
confidence in the ability Of the country
to soon lift itself from the stagnatiou into
which 1t has fallen. Nearly all Glasses.
however, are growing clamorous ior a
currency resumption in New York, In the
belief that 1t would quickly be followed
by resumption throughout the country
and tho early restoration Of confidence. =.
> CINCINNATI, Oct, 3.-The financial
trouble Is beginning to show itself in de.
sire on the part Of number Of our manu-.
iacturers to curtail their working force or
reduce the time employed by operatives.
This Ia no more due to the trouble oil pro-
curing currency here than TO the effect
they apprehend the stringency will have
on the trade Of the interior. A few manu-.
facturers have already reduced their
working force, and others will follow un-
less q change comes next week.
