New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1860-02-25

To which VIC lave to add the usual tonsoriaI
transactions at from 1s@24 and 80 get. for long
and short paper, which may be considered not
within the scope Of bank parlors. 1t ia believed
the outdoor sales Of paper this week will in the
aggregate foot up to three-fourths of million of
dollars.
The movements in Exchange to-day were large.
The counter rate for checks at the banks on New
York was uniform at prem. Outside there were
sales at l-l6@s premium. The market was heavy
mercial bills were to be had at par, but remitters-
who very often complain when an advance takes
pIace--will not take these commercial bills, but
indirectly compel the banks to take them, and then
purchase the checks Of the banks at a much higher
rate, making the banks implicitly the guarantors of
the great exchange operations in our market
Under tclegraphc advices from New York, quot
ing a retrocesson in the rates of sterling in that
market dealers and buyers did not feel disposed to
take oil the offerings at yesterdays rates. There
were, however, sales at tolerably high figures for
clear bills, say l082@l0Ss very high and extreme
figures. There were other sales at l0sa@1os2-
extreme quotations for clear bills place at 1851
GLOSS, with some small sums for remittance at
fraction higher. In bills Of lading there sales
at l073, 1074@I0S, making extreme rates for doc
uments ruling within those figures. The market all
round, and for all kinds and grades of sterling,
closed very weak compared to previous days of
this week. In francs we note sales of 100000,
300 900 at 5.a; 100000 at 5.182 and other sums at
5.l62, making extreme rates from 5.25 for docu-
ments possibly drawn against staves-to 5.2e@
SIG! the latter for bank bills on Paris direct.
There has been only moderate business doing
in uncurrent money this week. The daily increas-
ing receipts produce from the West confirms the
impression that the annual supplies are in progress
of transhpment to market. We much prefer to
have to chronicle the receipts Of corn, wheat,
four pork and bacon by steamboat loads, than to
record the contents Of steamer thus: an iron
chest or an express agents great box, containing
varieties of issues of the many banks located in the
great Northwest short time since we made a
few remarks on the currency Of the State of Wis.
consn. The intercourse with that State is yearly
increasing. Our intercourse with the great State
of Illinois is also on the upward move, with the
issues Of the banks Of the State accommodating or
increasing from year to year with our brokers aud
dealers in uncurrent money; and though the bust
ness ID profitable to brokers, we much prefer re.
ceivng corn, cats and pork from Illinois than bank
paper. There are in the State Of Illinois RI banks
with capitals amounting in all to about $4,000 000
They located in every part of the State eating
out the very substance Of the people. The circula
ton of these banks amounts IS 1881 000 secured by
the deposit Of twenty different kinds of stocks,
amounting to 1895, 900. The amount of specie on
hand was about 81, 100000. Among the stocks and
bonds lodged as security we note the following,
and in order that our readers may discern how the
stocks and security are divided. we give state
