The Monetary Crisis.

The reports from New York yesterday OF ano-
ther day of severe financial depression there,
with the additional feature of heavy run on the
Park Bank, created sympathetic excitement
here. The Bank sustained the run, paying all
demands up to the hour of closing, at which
time the excitement had measurably subsidized.
The Park Bank is a new institution, has capt.
tai Of 80 800 Co., and at its last weekly statement
to the Clearing House, October Sd, held SIS, 2s2
In specie, sl,6i5. 747 in depostes, and had $780,
LBS Of notes in circulation. A meeting of the
Bank officers Of New York, after consultation
with the leading merchants, had, 1t is reported,
resolved to provide means to the extent OF SO 600
200 for the purpose Of bringing forward produce
from the interior Of the country.
A dispatch from New York states that the
Bowery Bank had been suspended from the
Clearing House and had closed its doors. The
Bowery is a small institution, having capital of
$3.50 6i2, and at its last statement, October g. had
So 39s in specie, 1896 1872 in deposites, and SILL,
32i of circulation 10
From Harrisburg the intelligence is favorable
to moderate degree Of relief being granted the
Pennsylvania banks. The Senate had passed a
bill legalzng the suspension until the LIST of
April next The bill passed is probably that
agreed upon by Special Committee of the
House. Besides Iegalizing the suspension until
six months longer than is now allowed by law
compels all banks to receive the notes of other
banks; no bank to have power to discredit the
notes Of other banks, save upon a statement sworn
TO by the President and Cashier, and forwarded
to the Governor, and fled in the Secretary's
office bank notes to be receivable in payment for
revenue by tax collectors; and banks to redeem
in specie their notes when paid for tolls or taxes
The House had rejected motion to adjourn sine
die to-day, and also refused to consider a bill
establishing free banking system. The indica-
tions were more promising than in the early DAYS
of the session that a reasonable degree Of relief
would be granted to the banks
Additional failures in Boston and New York are
reported.
Among the suspensions in New York are Messrs
Harper Brother, the leading publishers, and
Messrs Bowen & McNamee, the extensive dry
goods firm, and the principal owners Of Beecher's
"Independent."
The Herald says Of the failure Of the Harper's
"We understand that Messrs. Harper 4 Bro s.
book publishers, finding, in consequenc, of the
dlsorganized state OF the domestic exchanges
that they could not effect collections from their
country customers without q ruinous loss, de-
cided to-day to suspend payments until the in
ternal commerce of the country shall be again on
such footing that debts due in the distant cities
can be made. available at New York. We have
reason to believe that the assets of the firm exceed
its Liabilities by upwards of million of dollars
