Financial and Commercial. Since our last issue there has been but little if any improvement in the money market, either here at the west or at the east. In all the eastern cities, failures, suspensions and assignments continue to occur, in commercial and manufaeturing circles. The N. Y. Tribune of Monday speaks of a slight improvement in money matters in that city, but it has hardly been felt out this way yet. Grain continues to come forward very sparingly, and it is now almost certain that farmers in this section will hold their great bulk of the crop until next spring, either in store or in their granaries; probably mostly the latter. There has been no improvement in prices during the week, and we have seen but few loads in the streets. That our readers may be posted in reference to currency matters, we publish our list of doubtful and broken banks of last week. with the addition of those which have since failed.
