The banks commenced the week with a larger
amount than shown by the average, and have
received some accessons although not large amount,
from the interior and small amount from the Treas
ury. The loss Of the above shipments will probably
average about $780, 000 to Offset which are the above
game from the interior snd The SubTreasury, the gold,
sl27 600 by the Texas from San JUAN and the amount
held on Monday last above the average as reported.
IT is not likely the specie reserve OF the banks will
show much change on Monday from the previous
week. although the impression Of the street appears
to be that there will be gain. Some engagements of
gold have already been made for Wednesday, but
another California steamer will be due about Friday
and amply supply the demand for bars. The banks,
ct any rate, appear to entertain fears of any drain
Of gold sufficient to render necessary any further con-
traction Of loans. They are accommodating their
dealers literally and, in the case Of one large bank
to-day the offerings Of the right description of paper
were not equal to the ability Of the banks to discount
Several of the large banks have passed lines
Of short paper during the week for discount brokers'
which has been of late very unusual thing. The
period Of the year is now at hand when the interior
balances begin to accumulate here, and when the de-
msnd for discounts by interior and Southern bank cor
respondents falls of. The influence of this change lie
Immediately felt in the street by the renewed VIII
hpgness of the banks to extend their call loans, and
the movement has already commenced Money on
call was easy to-day az at any time III three months
past. Nearly all the large stock houses and bankers
had more money than they had call for. Paper was
easier TO sell to-day and first class signatures went at

A letter from Mr.. Coburn, the Chief Engineer, an
pounces the final completion of the Wabash Valley
Road through from Toledo on Lake Erie to the State
hne Of Illinois where its connection lie with the grea.
artery of that State TO the Mississippi River. Mr. Col
bum, under date of the 18th inst, writes:

O'Clock, and 70 make laid enc length into Illinois
this morning. he Great Western has only 81 miles to
lay, when the grea. line Of l35 miles from Toledo west

The London C. W. Free Press gives currency to a
joke which is said TO be going the rounds of the rail
way circes TO the following effect: A Michigan gen.
,leman owned several shares in American railways,
which he desired to cell in London England, but was
unable TO find purchaser. He finally offered them to
the English Board of Directors Of the Great Western
Railroad Company who agreed 10 take ts0ocV OF the
stock if the other party would accept in exchange the
steamers Canada and America, which had already
proved dead loes Of E20,coO to the Company
Michigan agreed 20 the trade, condi1on that the
steamboats, should be delivered il Lake Ere This
wac consented to- and written contract made and
signed. Now it happens that the steamboats, thus
'uansened are too lopg to pass through the Weuand
Canal locks and the question a,ises, how the con-
tract to be fulfilled L. is safe 70 conjecture that the
Enghshmen have been taken in.
