spoke of heavy calls for specie on Indiana
banks by kinney, Espey Il CO., Cincinnati,
agents for the State Bank OF Ohio" IL may
be worth vhilc to inform the Evansville
Journal and other afflicted newspapers. that
Kinney, Espy 81 Co. ceased to act as agents
Of the State Bank of Ohio, on the goth OF
October, aud that the statement that they
were making calls for specie on behalf OF the
State Bank OF Ohio since that time is errone-
ous.- Ga. Obss. qgaF. rr Ntgr
The fact 10 here again distinctly admitted
that Kinney, Espy & Co. ws-s the agents Of
the State Bank Of Ohio to run upon the
Kentucky and Indiana Banks. And We now
once more wish to impress it upon Kentucky
and Indiana, that the State Bank Of Ohio did
resort to such disreputabls measure 70 sup
ply itself with coin. The time may come
when this point will be useful for reference. !
II the agency has been closed, We are glad
Of this evidence that the Ohio banks have,
for once, . supply Of specie. We auppose
they will now disband the mobs which have,
in many places, protected thoss banxs from
retaliating demands from the banks they
were expressing. ~.
lis idle for the Commercial to attempt to
screen the State Bank Of Ohio from the
ccnsurs which her recent course has justly
provoked. Nor will iss assertion, without
some proof, be evidence that that bank is not
still the backbone Of Kinney, Espy Il Co.,
IN their operations. And we ask that paper
! IL it Is not true, that the Branches-at least
| u portion Of them-yet keep large deposits in
that concern, and that upon these deposits
chiefly, they are enabled to carry on thsir
extensive piracies.

Hoos. The GRANVILLE Herald says Z" as
yet we have heard Of no transactions In
hogs at this place. Our farmers are ask
ing t5, but buyers do not seem disposed te
give it."
At vincsnnes several lots had been re-
ceivsd, but no prices are reported. Mr.. ST.
monson, at Edwardsport, Is reported rs buy
ing freely ut Is. '.'' 'ii''~
We learn from several nsighbcrhoods u
Posey and Gibson counties, that the farmers
were Arm in demanding IS fol, their hogs
and were resolved il their price could not b
obtained, to pack on their own account. w
hear that they are clubbing together, in som'
places, to pack and ship on joint account
We think such arrangements are judiciou
and will have most fortunate Influence OF
the future condition Of the markets. fifth
farmers pack their own pork, they can hol,
it, till prices win justify its shipment, ans
the markets will be supplied as demand an,
consumption will warrant-and prices ma,
be maintained with some stsadiness through
the year. II packers and spectators shoul,
obtain possession Of large part of the stock
they could not. As in years past, hold it b.
advances and loans, but wonld DO obliged :
pross sales, glut the markets, and entail
heavy Losses on thsmsslvcs, by their nscessi
ties for immediate or early returns. 1t
therefore for the interests OF all parties NTH
trade, that the farmers should participat
largely in the packing and shipping Of thei
own products this season.
In this city, there is very little dispositio
to buy hogs even at - SO. Packers pref;
to pack on commission, and to advance ii
cost Of cooperage and salt, and wait the n
turn of shipments for their advances.
