THE PANIC.--A good deal of alarm and great
inconvenience was occasoned yesterday, by the
announcement that the brokers would no longer
redeem uncurrent bills of any description. Va
rious reasons are assigned for this course. The
brokers themselves say that the vast amount Of
uncurrent money thrown upon the market,
within the past ten days, has drained them Of
their specie funds, and that they cannot obtain
from the city banks, on any security, the
amount requisite to continue their redemptions
until they can realize from their country paper
1t is surmised by many that this sudden and
universal refusal of the brokers to purchase
uncurrent money results from a wish to en-
barrass the Metropolitan Bank which was es-
tdblished in this city short time ago, for the
purpose of compelling the country banks to
keep their notes at par, or nearly so in New
York. We do not see, however, that the Greg
uator" is likely to be affected by such pro
ceeding, inasmuch as it only discounts incur
rent money for its depositors. Weare inclined
to believe that the brokers are really short of
funds, and moreover that they are little nerv
Gus, and wish to find out the weak spots before
they venture to speculate further.
Among the bills refused in trade yesterday,
lin addition to the Salisbury, Nd, and the
Commercial" and "People's," N. J.,) were
those of the following banks:
Government Stock, Michigan;
Union, Dover, New Jersey;
Ocean, New Jersey; ..
James Bank, Saratoga County, N. Y;
New Rochelle, N. Y.
Phoenix, cambridge, N. Y;
Merchants, Nina, N. Y;
Merchants, Canandaigua, N. y;
Farmers, Nina, N. ",
Western, White Creek, n Y;
Our own belief is that there will not be any
material loss upon the bills Of the abovenamed
institutions, and we should be 10th to submit to
a heavy shave on any of them.
In Boston the money market is even tighter
than it is here, and it would be well to keep
bright lookout for squalls to the eastward.
The tess Eastern money man takes the less he
will lose by it. There is likely to be some sharp
work this month and the next among the East
ern banks.-N. ]. Morning Star, Oct 2.
