The weekly bank statement of this morning does
not show any material change with the exception
OF the loss Of $Sl4 900 in specie and 900 in
| deposites. The specie reserve is now lower than
it has been at any time since January IL, when
the amount in the vaults was sll, 777,7ll. This
statement is considered quite unfavorable, and as
it is expected there win be considerable shipments
during the week, Notwithstanding the large arrival
from California by the George Law there will be
still further reduction in the precious metal in the
next bank statement Instead of reduction In
loans, which it was thought would be counted by
millions, there is an increase Of 81 900; but this
cannot be expected to continue in the face of such
falling off in specie.

Alderman of the Second Ward few years since,
and also President of the Sixth-avenue Railroad at
the time OF the overssue of stock of that company
to the amount of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Bet~ cen the two candidates it will be hard
matter to choose, neither of them stand very
well, so far as honesty goes. However, there is
not the slightest chance of either being elected
