The Money Panic.

The financial storm appears to be very rapidly
reaching its maximum. The accounts of disas.
aster and failure are not unmixed with announce
ments from various quarters that the banks are
developing an ability to sustain themselves and
that the possibility of suspension Is not contem-
plated. New York and Boston still stand firm,
and though the pressure In each Of these cities
must be Of unparalleled severity, there is yet a
hopeful looking forward to early relief and an
earnest steadfastness in maintaining the specie
standard.
1t has been stated with reference to the sus.
pension Of the Philadelphia Banks, that 1t be-
came question whether they or the merchants
should fall; and the weight Of opinion was In
favor of the latter being maintained.
The latest advices from New Orleans are up to
yesterday. The rates of money are very high,
and market excessively tight. Business men
are waiting for more intelligence from New
York. ..'
The State laws require the New Orleans banks
to keep an amount of specie on hand equal to one
third of their liabilities. The penalty for falling
below this is 500 on each director, for every day
that the bank is ''out of Inca pretty efectual
bar to expansion.
This Richmond Enquirer says: ~ r
g Some excitement exists i'm tn is CITY with re-
gard to the suspension Of specie pa yment by the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington CITY
banks; and run, to a small extent, has been
made on the banks here; but they feel strong and
declare their determination to hold out They
continue to pay specie for their own notes The
example Of the banks i'm New York, Boston, and
New England, is strengthening them. 1t is not
likely that the banks of this city will DE forced to
suspend; but, if absolutely necessary to save what
specie they have, they may agree upon a general
suspension. Such seems to be the prevailing
opinion here The panic which seems to have
affected Northern cities finds very little encour-
agement here. We doubt not it will he short
lived; and in week or so all will be right again
Brokers here are in hot pursuit of specie
with which they are buying up Virginia bank
notes at small discount. Some Of the brokers
charge five per cent, and some ten per cent for
small sums of specie.''
The Philadelphia papers announce that the
presidents Of the banks of that city have decided
upon the following important measures:
l. A suspension Of specie payment on all notes,
large and small.
2. The prompt Issue Of their own notes of the
smaller denominations, for checks and all other
obligations against them.
3. An increase Of discounts to their customers
with the object of afording immediate relief
