Here is food for contemplation. These returns show
state Of things little dreamed of by stock SPECTATORS for
a rise decrease Of nearly two millions In specie and
upwards Of three millions In deposits In one week Is
matter Of serious import, that will 6nanciers
to pause and how they stand Not since 2sth
ber 1854 has the specie in banks been
much reduced and the last time the deposits ranged be-
tween seventysx and seventy millions, the dis
counts considerably under thrtytwo millions. The
present position Of the banks is anything but comfortable
In less than two months they have lost six millions o.
dollars in specie and In the time their deposits
have been reduced nearly millions of dollars Such
extreme changes not at all healthy but they will
serve warning to those who easily induced In
times Of plenty 10 accept all the bank favors oTered
rything will be gained.
