CITY AND COUNTRY BANKS-THE
DIFFERENCE.

For a number of years pasl. the Country
Banks have had large amuunlr!of money de.
posted IN the city institutions for the pur.
pose redeeming their notes when present.
ed there. These amounts varied from m
aggregate, from one half to one, and even
two millions of dollars; this sum was gen.
orally the amount Of the trade against Phil
sdelphia' From want of concert of ac.
ton in the Country banks; the City
banks were allowed TO exact an enor
nous tribute in the shape of interest
from their deposiles, and lie Philadelphia
notes were received at par, when the bal
ances were heavily against them. A few
months since, when all the City Banks were
considered as ,oitering, the Country Banks
deemlng their money unsafe in lhsir hands
withdrew in Philadelphia, and loaned i, a.
way on indiviual security. Of
those who still placed confidence in the
Banks with whom they deposited, left their
amounts with them, and ME consequence
was they Met with very severe losses.
Those who Withdrew their balance were
unable TO collect the sums due them at
very short notice, and their notes became
depreciated' A very fair instance of the
difference between country and city poicy
can be given in the case of NJ liners Bank of
Po,tsvie. --l,as, SUMMER, when the coal
trade was in full tide, the balances this In
sli'u'ion held in Philadelphia became so
very large as TO compel them 10 refuse 10 col.
lect. The consequen ce was, Philadelphia
notes flowed into the Coal region. At pres
en., when the balances are few thousands
as anst Po!.sville, the Philadelphia Banks
and Brokers combined, are using their Ut
most endoavors 10 deppecate the notes of
the Po,tsvile bank; and as means of oS
tanning their ends, have caused the inlerses.

their deposi.es from the city, and when the

will cause re,alistory depreciation of their
