ALBANY. Oct. Bank Superinten-

decision, confirming the right of banking
associations to reduce their securities de-
posted in the Bank Department below

days until a late hour in the evening re-

New ORLEANS, Oct. 2.-The money
market here begins to feel the effect of the
crisis severely, and both loans and dis
counts are exceedingly hard to make. Tho
banks are discounting only moderately,
and large amount Of first class paper is
thrown upon the street at the most exor-
bitant rates.
The effect Of the squeeze is observed
most perceptibly in the cotton market
which has fallen from Ice to lac. for
middling within two days The decline,
however, has brought in purchasers with
ready cash, and over 1000 bales in all
have been sold at about the latter figure,
(14c.) ill.,.
In breadstuffs, and indeed, nearly all
articles of produce, a sudden and unlock

The confidence of the community in
the banks, however, remains unabated,
and such thing as suspension is not for a
moment entertained. s. ,...

| would temporarily relieve the community,
! but it would end in supensionJ of specie
payments by the banks. Better hundreds
upon hundreds of our merchants should
fail than our banks suspend. 1t it a dis
tressing alternative, but wasec no help
for it. With our banks firm and fixed as
specie paying institutions, the country
may recover from this revision in few
months, whereas u suspension of specie
payments would prostraf every lmpor-
tant interest, from whie we should not
recover in years. It ; hard, and may
seem cruel that the coninerclal community

greatest number Our banks must not
look now to indsidual cases, but to the

serve the msses. ;.
"A mayed feature of the present dis
tressed ,sriod is the failure inits very COM
mencerent of leading houses of the longest
standag and esteemed of the most solid
charcter,as well as Of the greatest respec-
tafilty."
But enough of this. We dislike pre-
sent such dreary looking pictures to our
readers.
Saturday last was a dull day, indeed,
with our business men. 1t was ru-
mored at one time during the day chat a
disposition existed to make run on the
Banks, but such was not the case, as we
have been credibly informed and it is
supposed the runlor was grounded on the
fact of the usual Saturdays business re-
quirements for specie in small amounts
So far, the utmost confidence has been
manifested in the management of our
banking institutions, and although the
desire seems strong on the part of many
for the Banks to suspend whilst they have
specie in their vaults-still there is a gen.
eral acquiescence in the plan they are pur-
suing, with but little complaining on the
part of the business men.
There are strong considerations, how
ever, that present themselves to the mind,
why our Banks should suspend specie
payments, ifthey are unable to grant the
usual accommodations to the business
community and not the least among
them is the fact, that our merchants have
not yet had an opportunity to recuperato
from the effects of the fever on the trade
Of our City. This matter applies pccu-
liarly to Norfolk and Portsmouth, as no
other City in the State felt the crushing
effects of that plague. Whilst the Banks
in the other cities of the State might not
be borne out by pubic opinion in such a
course, we believe the right thinking
mind would cheerfully award a proper
need ofpraise to the banking institutions
of this City for taking such a course, if it
was found necessary to allay the threaten
ed storm.
And another. We do not think the
Carolina merchant would be willing to
pay 10 or II per cent. discount on his
money in New York, while he could lay
It out here at par, save freight, risks and
expenses, and buy as cheap here as there
which would, no doubt, be the case if our
Banks were to suspend as it is thought
that would be the effect Oh the currency
of the two States in this City, and we
should then have sufficient coin in our
midst for home Use.
