As we anticipated, the loans of the Banks
have not been contracted nearly as much as the
estimate made by leading commercial journal
few DAYS snce--twenty millions. The statements Of
the City Banks of their condition the 9th Sept.
last show decrease OF loans and discounts Of less
than seven millions since the last statement IN June.
As the Metropolitan and one or two smaller Banks
did not appear in the June statements, the actual
contraction of the other Banks has probably been
nearly ten millions, and this contraction of loans has
been measuraby neutrallzed by the withdrawal
from the Banks of over FIVE millions of deposits,
which have been kept active IN the channels OF
trade Ii is noticeable feature that while the iacll-
tiles TO the public have decreased the loans TO d.
rectors have increased proving that Banks. Ike IN
dividuals believe in taking of their own house

favorable than was anticipated, although taken on
very unfay orahle day In regard 10 specie. Nithln
was increased over million of dollars and has con
tlnued 10 increase since, until 1t IS now undouot-
edly ten millions.
The amount received at the Sub-Treas-
ury was $74l7l paid $500, 7S3 balance $3,OSS,li6.
