bills, with Bills of LadiDg attached, have already
been sold at these rates. OF course shipments OF
rpecie are out Of the question. OF the $3.50 900 or
dered for the Boston steamer, all but about $4,000
were couniermanded, and We understand Mr. Bel
monts agent states that he shall make no further
shipments at present. Wehad always supposed that
Belmont would stop shipping by Christmas. We are

more closely paid up than for many years Under
these circumstances it would certainly seem that we
have fair prospect of retaining in this country

coming few months.

The amount received at the Sub-Treasury was

buried e345, s67, making addition Of $40 900 to
the coin in Bank. The aggregate deposits in the As
soy Office since its operations are fye-and-a quarter
millions Of dollars. The business at the Clearing
House to-day was $50 463, CO., showing the payments
of yesterday, the 4h to have been some four millions
moro than the usual average.
In our Bank Statement published this morning,
the returns of two Banks taken from the state
uent of the previous week. The actual returns do
not show much change, but the result is as follows
LOsns. .ssl e7s az Grcul.tOn sss 2sS
Showing for the week increase Of specie 1893:
Of circulation, sl3l l3l; of deposits, s2,62s,3sl and
decrease Of loans Of only Sc 0sS. The increase OF
deposits hes surprised the street than any other
feature Of the Statement. The figures however, are
falacous, as some Banks have adopted the plan Of
charging up certified checks, and others have not; 80
that deduetiDg the average ceariDgs does not give
The correct result. Besides in getting at the average
elearirgs, there is difference of opinion as to wheth-
er the aggregate Of the week should be divided by
six or, leaving out Thanksgiving Day, by five. If
Eve be used, the result would show only triding
ehsnge in deposits instead Of large increase.
The Managers Of the Chatham Bank publish, in
another column full contradiction Of the statement
in The Times that there is considerable deficit in
Its accounts. The present administration of this ill.,
stitution have been in power but short time, the
former President and Cashier having resigned about
aweek ago. 1t is rather singular fact in the history
of this bank that it has had five cashiers during an
existence Of about three years. The rumor alluded to,
probably arose from the fact that the bank has the
reputation of having made some unfortunate loans,
although there may be no ultimate loss from them.
