NEW YORK, AHg. 29th-The fall trade has COM
menced with some activity. The condition of the ex-
changes however, is such hatmerchants from the West
and South are compelled to bay spahngiy most of the
obbers will sell other condition than that the notes
shall be made payable in the city, purchasers to any
great extent cannot comply with these conditions; few
men are willing to pay debt when they have TO pay 20
per cent and to fulfil their contracts In foreign
exchange, there is but little doing the nominal rates for
bills London is per cent, and it is probable that it
been some variation; the rates on Philadelphia have
suddenly changed from q to Il per cent discount In
reference to this fact the New York Evening Express
of Saturday, has the following article:-
Within week past. there has been an increased
amount of United States Bank notes offered in the mar
ket and exchange between us and that city has become
more unavorabe. We have doubt this sudden de-
cline has been produced by the Bank of The u States
paving off portion of its debt in advance 10 the Gov
eminent Ii is said the Government have to pay to va
rous contractors for clothing and other purposes
81 300 900, and that the Treasury being empty they
have gladly received their demands in e. s. Bank Bills.
In addition 10 this there numerous merchants here
from the South and the bulk of their money is in these
Bills, which they are compelled to SELL enable them
to make their purchases. This large amount on por-
ton of beiag throws into this market at once and at
| time when but few Philadelphia Funds wanted, has
caused decline III the The probability is that in
few days, very short time, the rate will come up
again.
| The North American, leading Philadelphia paper,
states with confidence, that all the Banks in that city,
the u. S. Bank included, will resume specie payments
the 18th January, the day required by law. All the
balances of trade confirm this. The Banks of the At
lanc cities are increasing their balances in this city,
and TO very considerable extent.
