Richmond Market, August 20.

For some time past money matters have been
very stringent. Our banks have reduced their dis
count line very considerably, and there is great
difficulty in dscounting, even first elias business
paper. The alleged reason for this is that there
have been, for some time and are now, heavy de-
msnds on the banks, by brokers, for coin.
In the absence of any speculative movement the
produce trade is without much change, varying in
no important particular from its condition rs re.
ported last week. There is decline noticeable i'll
Tobacco, which is attributed to the inactivity of
the Northern markets. We quote inferior Lugs

Grs6.5O and S.; Fair Leaf $S.50@$9 and 5000

The receipts of Wheat are not 80 large as here

advice planters not to rush their grain on u soft
market and renew our quotations; Prime Red and

The Export of Specie.

The export of specie from New York, from JAN
nary let up to Saturday last, WAS. in round mum
bsrs. 81 300, 900 and from Boston about $4,000,
OOO-total So. 0UO, 900. The receipts i'll the same
period from California and other sources have not
exceeded So. 600, OOO. The difference (S2s,Oou,-
200 has been drawn from the banks and the peck
cts Of the people
The banks Of New York held on the lst of jan
uary last in round numbers, S29, 600. 900 in spe-
cs they held ON Saturday last S2l 100000; so
that they have lost in the aggregate, during that
time, only s. JN0,U0O, whilst the excess of exports
oyor imports is $4,000 900, which excess was
drawn in the main from the vaults Of the New
York banks.
How, then. have these banks been able, while
losing $50 900 900, the over receipts drawn
out for export, to keep up their specie strength TO
point only 900 below that Of January
last!
The answer is plain. The difference between
S;,jOOOoO, their real loss, and 900, their
apparent, loss. has been drawn from the Sub TTes-
