There various rumors aHoat nregGrd tothe stab-
ay Of some Of the interior banks and We shall not be
surprised if some further suspensions take place Two
are named to-day as beog under protest, but will pos
ably be fnsncered out of their difficulties. The Bank
sf HanoweI lie stated to be under injunction, but we
understand that the affairs Of the institution in
cafe condition. and that the INDUCTION upon hearing will
be dissb arged. There is difficulty among the
Illinois Free Banks, growing ont Of movement
which the Chicago Cincinnati and Louisville Bankers,
have made TO throw out most of the notes OF these
Banks. The law of Illinois, it appears, allows the
Banks to redeem their small notes up TO ., in silver
>sin. This has been taken advantage ct by the
Banks to embarrass the exchange uorward) houses
which have sent notes home for redemption. These
Asuses have frequently been delayed several days re-
seyng dimes and quarters in redemption of their notes.
The result has been that the brokers in Chicago and
elsewhere have thrown out many banks and forced the
currency home If this is continued it viii probably
wind up several Of these institutions. Some of them
Asve already commenced Withdrawing their securities
from the Bank Department and have sent them here
