NEW YoHK, Dec. 5, 1854.
The money market appears be in degree easy
and the way open for restoration Of confidence That
money very among merchants IL certainly true
The of currency the interior prevents the forward

freely reards its shipment when here The want of money
indicated in the fact that difference Of 374 so cents is
made -four between cash and eight days. Exchange
down to s but greater ease in the market would send
Nevertheless the banks discount their receipts IN
short bills and southern acceptances done fair terms
The main evil of the market is doubtless the old public enc

West il may be remarked the first which has taken place
under the seeared SYSTEM The baneul effects OF paper
money always make themselves felt or later the
devised by legislators to take the sting out only
ries form which the inevitable disaster The
syste regulation by the old National Bank brought the
most widespread devastation with it; but the safety
funds and all the guards and restrictions which the several
States imposed only changed the direction Of the

which have before alluded the newly
security plan This proceeded the assumption that the
securing the holder the only object to be effected
The great and inherent general evils of the system were
overlooked disregsrded and these what press
upon the market is universally understood and acknow

When under initiation, the point of exporting specie

formerly large numbers of issuing banks failed because they

the goods which the paper issues induced to here
companied by active demand for gold for the interior
pay bholders This latter demand would under such cir
cumances greatly add to the existing We have
before pointed out that nearly Ss000000 of State stocks
purchased up and made the basis of malnote issues
within the last years. These notes have with the
