mcmbcrcd that Illinois banks are rcopircd to
have securities whose value shall be ten prr
cent above their lssues. 1t il to make up this
surplus shat the call was issued. The stocks
are stlill ample security for all the bills
tint are out, If the banks should
be wound up, and. hence aAs' bills of al
Hose banks are freely taken by all the banks it,

ST. Lor1s.-Thc Democrat Of yesterday says
At some Of the Banks and other institutions
we are ln'ormed q rather severe pressure is fit
and that money seems to be tighter every day
With some Of these, the largest, more Easter r
Sight Exchange WAS sold to-day than for son,t
time past, at the high rate Of II prem. for bank
able funds; and though collections arc now
being made from the country, there is no cessa
tion 10 the demand, to pay off Eastern debts
which still hang oyer many. Rates Of exchange
on the South are some easier, sales being maui
