FORMER BANK SUSPENSIONS The first
general suspension of specie payments by
banks, occurred in 1914, Immediately after
the capture Of the City Of Washington by
the British. The banks of New York and
all soth and west suspended, and did dot re-
sumo for two or three years.
The general suspension in 1887, began al
New York, May 10th, and the next day the
banks of Boston, Philadelphia and Baltl.
more followed. The banks Of Cincinnati
suspended on the II.
A general resumption Of specie payments
was attempted in 1886, but large proper
ton of the banks did not succeed in the op
Grafton, and universal resumption was not
effected until ls43 and 1874.
The suspension in New York in 1887, was
preceded by period of unprecedented COM
mercial distress. Three hundred heavy nrnis
failed there that spring with liabilities esu.
mated at $40, 000, 900, and it was said thaI
10000 men, dependent on their daily iaoor
for their support. were thrown out OF en-
ployment. The pressure was equally severe
in other places; one hundred and sixty-eight
firms failed in Boston during the six months
preceding the suspension.

Publishers CoSvLSTIoS.-A convention
Of the newspaper publishers of Southern
Illinois Egypt was held at Jonesboro' two
weeks ago, and some good regulations adopt
cd for the protection of the craft, among
which we especially approve the following /:
To send no papers to subscribers unless
prepaid. r,
advertising.
To publish no advertisements forwarded
by advertising agents unless paid in advance.
A scale of prices for advertising was also
agreed upon, but such matters had better be
left to each publisher 10 manage for himself
The value OF advertising depends SO much
on the circulation and reputation of news
paper that no uniform scale can possibly do
Justice all round.

Tho latter. however, seems impossible. The
country is full of wealth. There is not too
much paper money as in '36, compared to
the amount Of specie. The states are all SOL
vent, and securities cannot go down as they
did then. Our crops are enormous and II
prices fail too low at home, must command
the cash from abroad. The evil seems to
be mainly artitcial-the result of the as
saults upon public credit by the bears of
Wall street and other such dens, and must
pass off when men learn again to put reas-
enable confidence in each other. TO quote
from the Chicago Press, cone thing at least
seems certain, matters cannot long remain
as they are: and as they are now about as
bad as they can be, we have this reason to
hope they will soon grow better"
FOREIGN DEMAND FOR BREADsTuFFs. - In
view Of the present financial troubles of the
country and the heavy crops of the present
year, the question naturally obtrudes itself.
will our farmers be able to sell their grain at
anything ike living prices? On this subject
:.
statistics on the subject, arrives at the con-
clusion that the European demand, since the
repeal Of the corn laws in England, France,
&c, is always equal to all the L. S. can
spare, and that all that for the last few years
prevented heavier shipments, has been the
price at home, evincing that we had no grain
to spare. Next season prices will probably
rule lower, and then the export must be
heavy The Chicago Press, pursuing the
subject in the same view, says:
The question here naturally arises. how
much can we spare Of our wheat crop? The
largest export of wheat from the United
States was during the fiscal year 1854, when
it reached about $4,000, 900 bushels. In
that year France and England imported So,
coo, 900 bushels, and paid $3.50. ZOO, 600 for
it. England paid for her share at the rate Of
72S. quarter. or 81 % per bushcl. The
whole surplus of the United States was i'm
ported, and the result was that in 1870 the
United States could export none, because,
although prices were equally as high almost
as in the previous year, they were higher
here. through the exhaustion Of stocks and
smaller haryests. In 1896 the crops were
better and the export was resumed. Ii is
agreed on all hands that he wheat crop of
1867 is much greater than ever before; and
If, in 1851, We could spare p, OCn, 600 bushels,
can We %. spare $4,000, 600 bushels now Z
Prices viii probably Toe lower in foreign
markets than fsr several years back, but
this disadvantage viii be In part offset by
lower prices - shippers here and lower
charges for Freight.

Money MATTERS IN ST. LoUIs.-ThOugh,
as usual, the week which closed on Satur

hard money to meet accruing obligations, a
more cheerful feeling prevailed, until the
news came of the Bank suspen sions at the

here it is impossible to determine now. The
Banks created under our General Banking
law, have, it will be seen from their regular
statement given below, been fortifying them
selves, and now stand in condition which,
in ordinary times, would, and even no"
ought to be, regarded as exceedingly strong
Such is believed, and indeed Is known II
most cases, TO be the position of the private
banking houses. The Banks, whether pub

made upon them. This is not an idle boast

that our banks and merchants should stan'
