OFFICE OF THE DAILY HERALD,
"WEDNESDAY EVENING, Nov. II, 18TH
The sum and substance to-day in
business circles was about the same as
noticed for q week back, though in
some quarters the order business for
the SunAower river packet made mat
ters look q lively for a while. Country
purchasers were few, for the season,
their interest doubtless keeping them
at home, where the increasing threats
Of more rain forced q heavier tax In
getting the already damaged crops as
far gathered as possible. The weather
will again become the important sub.
ject OF complaint, farmers, mer-
chants and all suffering by the
unusual amount OF rain that has 80 far
fallen. The banks we're again quiet,
though cotton buyers have been for
several days liberal in their bills Of
exchange, aud but for the low state Of
trade generally, we could say that bus.
iness In financial matters was in a
very prospecting condition. A late
London correspondent Of the FL
nancial Chronicle, iu the course of his
letter, Gays: Considerable anxiety
is felt here as to the probable effect OF
the resumption OF specie payments OF
the LIST Of January, 1879, ia the United
States as far as the gold market Is con-
cerned. The more general impression
Ia that not much will be sent from this
side, but that we shall not be in the re-
ceipt OF our usual supplies from Amer
ican sources. This would obviously
make a material difference; but il
France releases her supply Of gold,
some of the difficulties which now ex.
ist would be easily met"
