THE y. Y. BANKS
From the Courier and Lnquir T
The Bank Statement not having been COM
pleted OH Saturday evening, i'll consequence of
the omission of several Banks to send in their
Weekly Report, we concluded to omit the pub
lication until the Statement could be made COM
plete. The figures now given show a material
increase in the several items. viz:
Loans 99s9006
TErtnIa 1n ,,'nu 30 SoI
deposits Getty country 5V269G4
We learn that upwards nf half million in
Gold will he sent out by the Cunard Steamer of
tomorrow, although the Foreign Exchange Mar
ket is in favorable condition. S,erliug Bills
are offering at 1904 for Bankers Signatures aud
4 very limited business doing.
The accumulation of surplus unemployed
Capital is one of the features ufthe year. This
accumulation will not remain long in its present
condition. Capitalists will ere lung find chan
uels of Investment, and il would he we'll for the
public if this were the case. We require now
more activity among domestic manufactures, in
order to restore the equilibrium Of Commercial
forces.
The profits of the Banks in 1868 are slightly
less than for the same period in 1857.
TREASURY NOTES AND RAILROAD BONDS
[srOm the Tribun,.l
There is more demand for Treasury Notes for
investment, and the supply is less abundant,
several large lots having been recently taken off
the market.
The Coupons due LIST July on the CONSOLE
dated bonds of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Road are paid upon presentation ut the
office of the Company III William street.
The interest ON the municipal debt of Pitts
burgh was paid ON the LIST inst.
The annexed information in regard to Land
Warrants is from T1ompSon's Bunk Note Re
porter:
'FThe dcmand,fnr Warrants is steadily increas-
ing and will undoubtedly run up the market
value to high figure before the LIST of SePten-
Der, when several Land Offices will he opened
in the most desirable parts of the West An
act passed the last session of Congress, author
ICES Land Warrants issued under the act Of
1855 TO be received in half payment for the land
om the railroad lines held at 81 81 per acre,
heretofore payable only ia gold. TiiS 80 i'ti-
portant law, and has advanced the new warrants
10 the same value as those under the acts pre-
vious to 1865.
"The Land Office at Council Bluffs, Iowa, re-
opened on the 26th of June, aud there were a
large number Of applicants present Advices
from there say, sos and 1905 sell readily here
for 81 per acre, and l20s for 81 cents. The
Government receives but little money for its
lands; they are all swept off by and warrants.
SIN Kansas there is more active demand
100 acres commanding 1850 cash, or $2SS paya-
BILE in one year, and secured by deed of land.
The settlers there evince the greatest anxiety to
secure their landS and homes before the sale in
September, when they would otherwise be at the
mercy of moneyed spectators from the East.
The proclamation of sales to come off in June
(but which were postponed To November at tine
request of the Kansas people) very effectunlly
awakened them to a realizlng sense of the dan
ger they were exposed to- Now they have
more money and are anxious To be prepared on
the opening Of the sales. In Michigan, two
land Offices open on the 10Th of August. At
Traverse City, on the western side of the State,
there will be offered some of the choicest grain
lands of the State, and at lonia also. Both
Grand Rapids and Indiana, the Flint aud Perre
Marquette, and the Detroit and Milwaukee,
And probably these railroad lands will be on
the market at the same time. All these sales
tend to make the market in warrants exceeding
