Coop NEws.-There are reasons for
believing that the Banks of the country
will resume specie payments mnch soon
er than has been anticipated. Within few
days past we have received numerous in.
dications in support of such belief. AL
ready the Banks of New Orleans has re.
sumed-and If is stated that The Banks OF
Boston are prepared 10 resdme. 1t is be.
lieved, too, that the Banks Of New York
will be ready on the lst of January, if moi
sooner. The New York journal OF
Commerce" estimates the specie in the
hanks Of that city al S22, 900 900; larger
amount by several millions than was ever
in the banks before. A letter from New
York says: "Our city banks are now SO
strong in their specie reserves $50, 600
600 that they are abundantIy able TO re-
sumo specie payments. Some OF The
prominent bank men in the street to-day
said they are willing 10 take that step as
soon as the country banks are ready 10 sec
ond the notion In point Of fact specie
payments at the counters Of the principal
banks are already resumed. Gold is St
plenty that the suspension is only nomI
nal"
Both North and South there are sign:
Of speedy resumption. The panic is near
lIy over-fallures have ceased-coufdrnc'
is taken the place of disirust-snd specie
coming from its hiding places. Resunp
ton BY The Banks Of New York, Pmia
Gelphla and Baltimore will no doubt b,
the signal for similar acIon by all Ia
Banks Of the country.

rest was made known 10 one ofthe firm to
whom he belonged, and who, knowing
him, identified and took him home.
