SATURDAY, sep l2-P. ".
The Stock market to-day inactive and irregular
ard very large proportion Of the transactions con-
tDue to be for cash. The feature Of the Board was
the rise in Reading which at the Second Board
advanced to 49, having been 40 yesterday. 1t
afterward closed at AZ. Southern Michigan was
steady in the morning ct o. but at the Second Board
after the tran,er books closed, it fell off to ls
power and certificate. with IS bid for the opening
in other stocks the features of the market were much
the same as yesterday, with heavy feeling.
In Exchange there is but little doing, and rates are
neminaly as we have before noticed them.
Freights are again frner with more offering. To
Lverpool $4,000 BUSH Grain at ID. for ree. bill,

Platte with Lumber at SIG.
There is no important change in money to-day. The
features are much the same as those noticed during
the week-great stringency among the merchants aud
comparative among the stock houses. The banks
are as a whole, contracting moderately, but in many
cases are dkcOuntiDg literally safety will allow.
Private capitalists have done something toward sup
plying the vacuum occasioned by the withdrawal of
bank loans, but in many they have, from an
overmuch lack of confidence, locked up their funds,
and refused to lend even on the best securities This
feeling, however, is wearing away. Mercantile paper
continues to be pissed at high rates-ljalS y cent
for the best-but tbe demand is good.
The specie movement is active. Philadelphia aud
the West are taking some gold, while Boston and
other portions of the interior continue to send to US.
One bank received $4,000 to-day, and another
$4,000 &c. This movement will continue until the
Exchanges become more settled. II has been point
of considerable discussion during the week, the
actual amount Of the specie reserve in the City Banks,
and it has generally been placed between $1,000 600
and S7 goo 600. In order to settle this point we have
obtained from the banks the actual amount on hand at
the opening Of business this morning, and find it to be
sl3 O25 COO thirteen millions and twenty. five thous
and This is actual, excepting the case of few
banks of which the average of last week was taken
This result is at least half million better than we
anticipated and shows the banks with their reduced
loars TO be in strong position. To this amount Will
be added in day or two million and b ali from
California, bringing them up to $li,5oO,OOO, while
there is no prospect Of an immediate resumption OF
the foreign DRAIN

slO9 1913 %; Payments, $2l0,l76 60; Balance, Slo-
