The recent marked advance in cot
ton has impaired vigor and activity in
all branches of business. Financial
circles is made to feel its share of the
improvement by an increased demand
for exchange, a more cheerful tone to
business generally, and an increase in
the volume of currency. The latter
is in ample supply, with little chance
for its lucrative Investment. 1t is
estimated that nearly $1,000 900 are
now lying idle in the vaults of our city
banks and insurance companies. Sol
vent borrowers are scarce, and money
can be readily obtained on prime mer-
camille paper or good collaterals at
from 6 to 10 per cent. interest. The
furry Of few days ago caused by the
temporary suspension of the New
Orleans banks has subsidized. The
amount of cash on deposit to the
credit of our banks in that city, and
which is in jeopardy, will not exceed
$4,000, 1t is believed all of the
banks will resume again before the
close of the present week, except
perhaps the Bank of New Orleans anC
the Mechanics and Traders.
Exchange is unaltered, bank,

Democratic senatorial cauoas

WASHINGTON, Dec.2 There was a
large attendance at the Democratic sena-
torial caucus.
Senator Wallace said the meeting was
torevise tie list of the democratic mem
bers Of coumittees There has been no
vacancy by death, aud it was decided to
make no changes. The chairman was
directed to notify the Republicans that the
committee positions occupied by the late
Senator Chandler were at their disposi-
tion
Several senators complained that the
senate patronage had not been equally dis
trlbuted. The question Of amending the
rules of the caucus, which require that
certain employees be retained except 10
the event of misconduct, was discussed.
The rule requiring the retention of
disabled soldiers was not disturbed, but 1t
was remarked that several Republicans
were retained who were never 10 the
army, and desire was expressed that they
be replaced by Democrats After some
discussion resolution directing Inquiry
into the nature Of instructions given by
The caucus last session, and several
other resolutions providing specially for the
retention of Captain Basset and various
other old employees. in case any fnrther
changes are made, were referred to eau
Gus committee on organization created last
March, to be reported on hereafter.
Republican senators hold a caucus this
afternoon. There is no doubt tha; Sena-
tor Baldwin. (Mich.) will be assigned to
the places held by his predecessor
