TUESDAY, Sept 23-e P. NJ
There was less excitement in business circles
to-day than during the past few days, but busi-
ness. nevertheless dragged slowly enough, and
there were few evidences of disposition to cut
loose and make new ventures. The chief obstruc-
ton to commerce during the progress of the nnan-
cih panic has been the difficulty of max.
ing payments; but this was, in great
meaeure, overcome to-day, aod the con-
sequence was an improved feeling and q some
what freer movement OF produce, &c. Still, some
apprehension existed and was decided impedi
ment to anything like an active prosecution OF
commercial matters The Improvement in feeling
continued throughout the day, however, and 1t was
evident al the close of business that there really no
for any further fears commercial trouble as
consequence of the fancy stock panic OF Wall street. and
business breathed freer there at any tmo since
Wednesday of Last week. The markets neverths
loss sluggish and commercial transactions confined
to the few pressing necessities OF buyers the Produc
Exchange the utmost auiet obtained in nearly all the
markets but there was not the least manifest inclina
ton To force sales at any concession. Hence
