The State election being neld to-day tho law of the land makes it a close holiday, and no sessions have bean held by theStock, Produce and Cotton exchanges, while bank aad Custom House doors have remained clos@®, Consequently all stock business, botn in id outside of the Board room, bas been held in abeyance, and even the purveyors of Mr. Sage’s privi- loges have yielded the pas to the distributors of ballots, Wahile ap occasional holiday is greeted with acclama- ton by the mass of the community there is a certain class which growls at any interraption to the dally gamble, and though as a general thing wanting in bucolic tastes finds something to admire in tho “usurer’s plough,” simply because it works on Sun- days, To these people the present holiday has come with less aggravating désagréments than usual, for the reason that it has simply «illed for the day a businoss which was already pretty well scotched. It would bave mattored little whother the Stock Ex- change bad been shut up a waek ago, just us it matters little whether i be closed for a week tocome ip point of a moral, physical and financial benefit tothe community there are those who think that the longor it remains closed the beiter. The holiday is oppor- tune in one respect, in that it affords an occasion to financiers to study out the Silver bill, which waa spapped through the House yesterday, aud the effects likely to follow should it become a law.
