Business appears to be going on in q quiet safe

banks are managed with judgement, and have as gooa

From The 81 Louis Democrat Oct ID
Yesterday marked by some little excitement IN
money matters, growing out OF run upon the o,ate
Bank of Missouri. The demands upon the other char
tered banks were not very unusual. The State Bank
sustained the rush made upon her counters with a
great deal of composure and TO sh0U chd she could
do her doors rere kept open until one-hay or three
qpa,hrs of an hour beyond the usual time The run
will probably be entirely exhausted tomorrow, for the
test made to day upon her specie seems to have im'
parted q great desl of confdencs regarding her re.
sources and her real gold and silver strength. Oar
business men feel more confident too and are pleased
TO contemplate the prospect OF banks going entire
" through the MILL and sustaining their credit az spe'
Gle paving concerns while other banks In the country
have been obliged to succumb. w
As business is almost at dead stand-still, we have
nothing at all to say of exchange. 1t is almost impos

changed. illinois bills getting scarcer and In tue

No change to be noticed in currency. Illinois
