the mercantile community, and it shows that the season
OF prosperity which the country has enjoyed for long
period was Improved, and that sufficient reserve has
been established to resist violent storm. The private
lenders OF money have in recovered from the
panic INTO which the sudden and severe bank conrsc-
ton threw them, and are again investing their capital
IN discountng paper, which s exhibited In the reduced
rates at which discounts are made The Withdrawal of
private capital from the market over which there was

amount OF paper negotiated by brokers is enormous in

bank facilities it yet oms by the side Of the loans and
discounts OF the banks, very respectable appearance.
There is no positive data by which the amount could
be arrived at but judging from the extensive lransac-

Confidence being again reestabished in the minds of
private capitalists the banks may continue quietly and
progressively to strengthen themselves and the balances

so many bulwarks against the late tempest; and al
though debts not iquidated, they can be now
without danger. In the process of liquidation healthy
tone will be regained money will be kept in active
demand at fair rates, which will check undue specula-
ton and bank expansion. We do not consider, how
ever, that we have an immunity from expansion as from
the moment we are in perfect condition of ease and
apparent security shall have another expansion upon

The Evening Post says 1.-THE leading banks re-
solved stopping the gold exports and raising the
rates offoreign exchange by reducing their discounts
They did diminish though they have not prevented the
export of coin but they did not raise the rates ex
change" The object of The banks FIVE understand
the subject to lower the rates OF exchange and
thus present no nducemen for the shipment OF coin-
For example, if exchange rules at I0h per cent gold
be shipped at profit and if it rules at 9Aper cent
gold cannot be shipped but at loss. This is also the
course adopted by the Bank of England When the
exchanges against England the bank makes money
scarce by circulating its loan facilities, and thus turns
the scale OF exchanges in favor OF England. But this
year the endeavors of the Bank Of England have been
as futile as those of our Banks exchange has regu
arly ruled against England from the Continent 1t
has against u.s. The immense volume of transactions
appears to override bank influences in both countries

srEc1E.-The New York Commercial, speaking of
the restoration OF confidence among moned men,
says that 1t is attributed in some TO the
tnuous receipts of gold from California. Thus, the
