BANKING

Gilbart says ga Banker is a person who has
an open shop, with proper counters, clerks and
books, for receiving other peoples money, in
order to keep it safe, and return it upon de-
mand.n
There seems TO be much confusion Of ideas
on the subject of banking, even among those
who are we'll informed or other subjects, and
as banks are vitality important in developing the
resources and building up trade and commerce,
il would be well that public opinion were more
enlightened Oh this subject. Through the
Banker, the various small sums Of money which
would otherwise be locked up and useless in
the strong boxes and pocket books of the peo-
pie, are brought together, and by him are loaned
to the produce purchaser and merchant, and
thus made available in facilitating the trade and
commerce OF the country. The farmer and
merchant can deposit Their money i'll bank, and
thus avoid the risk, fror fire or robbery, OF
having large sums af money about them, and at
the same time getting interest for what would
otherwise be dead capital. The business man
also can deposit bis funds daily, and draw
checks on his Banker az I've wants to use them
avoiding the Inconvenience of keeping large
sums ON hand, as we'll as liability TO mistake ii
paying out money
But by no means the least important benefit
derived from Banking is the facility and safety
with which money can be RENTED TO all parts
of The country or world through them. fo
a small commission the Banker will furnish ;
draft on any point to which you may wish tc
remit, which draft is payable only upon endorse
ment by the proper party, and in case oil its be-
ing lost duplicate can be obtained whIci
will answer every purpose of the original draft
If the draft should be paid upon forged endorse
mant. the loss would fall upon the party SO pay
ing it. If considered in no other light but as
medium Of exchange, Banks certainly rende
very valuable service in obviating the necessity
for shipping the precious metals at great eH
pense and risk from one part OF the country Il
Ihe ether.
We have barely touched upon the subjec
that heads this article, but may say more aoou
it at some future time.

MOH8Y MARKET.

The long continued ease Of the money market, and
consequent low rates of interest are without parallel
Coz many years past. In London money is offered on
esI ss low as Il per cent. per e. nnm, and even in
instances the Bankers refuse TO take it at that
Vsie. The Bank Of England has reduced its rate OF in.
terss 60 per cent per Of which rate II IS able
70 mAhs nee Of but small part of its capital. In New
York, where, = year since, good business paper was
sold 1t from 10 TO Is per cent per annum money is
loaned call, with stock collateral, at 10 Al per
cent? and auction six months notes are used at 81 10
This eheapneSS of money is undoubtedly brought about
manly by the great influx Of gold from California and
Australia, and the amount received, particularly
from Australia is constantly increasing, it would seem
that ateS of interest must still further decline The
effect OF this abundance Of capital is felt most benef-
ciay by producers throughout the West, in Initiating
the prices OF pork and beef, we'll as all articles oil
general consumption. The tendency Of such times is
apt 10 be 10 undue speeuation operators able
TO command facilities at lew rates. ard competition
runs up prices.
Notwithstanding the immense amount that has been
paid out at this point Tor pork and beef during the past
month"; money cannot be said to be tight, the packers
finding no difficulty in negotiating their bills. The
next ten days or two weeks will close packing opera
tions, probably, and learn packers thus far
disappointed in the amount cut 1t falling much below
their anticipations.
