CASH.

For some time, Spanish dollars had
bore a handsome premium, as had also
English gold and all other gold. Dol.
lars were sent to inGia, and some to
Europe. Doublooas we're shipped to
the Havana other gold, to England.
Finally, Exchange on England became
so high, that Five Franc pieces. French
Crowns, and all other kinds of silver.
could with advantage, be cent to the
continent of Europe, for the purpose OF
buying Exchange on England.
These coins were of course either
shipped OF or boarded up as merchaD-
disc, for a premium but principally
sold at premium and shipped off.
Money had been so plenty, that no one
dreamed Of its being scarce, and no one
prepared against scarcity; when all
at once it was peceived that there were
no current coin at al worthy of notice.
Hence, the very great scarcity Of mo-
pey. 1t was first felt in New York.
where Five Franc pieces had borne the
greatest premium. The banks being
taken by surprise, and compelled to call
in, naturally asked payment where they
supposed money could best be comman-
ded, and this was from the borrowers on
the pledge of U. S. bank stock. Hence
immense sacrifices. That Stock fell to
9s1, and many other articles fell also.
From this instant, New York began
to be relieved; because all the capital
in the Union bent It's way to that city,
seeking profitable investment amidst
the sacrifices there made. Over S400,
600 were transferred from Boston to
New York, to pay for y. s. Bank
Stocks over D2ON00O to pay for Spa
nish dollars over D3oo, 900 to pay for
Exchange on London and over D3oO,-
600 to pay for other Stocks and pro-
per,y. This created a balance against
Boston, and D4oo, 900 liz specie were ia.
ken from us by the New York Banks,
at time when from the causes desert
bed in the beginning of these remarks)
we had very little specie.
Hence the scarcity Of money in Dos
ton. In the beginning of June, the spe-
Gle in all our banks was reduced to
D432, 900; and the pressure was very
great. But great as it was, the sums
wanted, although wanted very much,
were not large.-Specie has been ever
since flowing in. Even Spanish dollars
have been deposited in our banks at
par-Very few new contracts have
been made. Our banks begin to dis
couot pretty freely all the very good
paper that is offered TO them. Not one
failure has taken place this week, ex-
cept a very small dealer and one more
house that fell in consequence of pre-
yious failures.-And we may calculate,
with some degree Of safety, that we
have passed over the pressure, and that
money will be very readily obtainabIe,
within a month. and continue SO. This
very day obtained fair sum, at SEE
ven per cent. for year.
The fact is, that in wealthy co-1mu-
nifty like this, great pressure must be
temporary, and has tendency to pro-
duce corresponding abundance ofcash.
