At the last meeting Of General Freight Agents in NewYos
bells Id hardware which have heretofore been placed IN second
class in the Classification were changed to third class
There is much less excitement in the uncurrent
money market than yesterday, aud the alarm has
measuraby subsided. The following are the cloaing
rates for currency to-day at the Banking office OF
Messrs. Thompson Brothers: New-York State and
New-England, ic. discount; Ohio, Indiana and Ken
tucky, Sc. discount Canada, d5c. Pennsylvania and
Maryland, 81 Oc. discounts Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Missouri. 5c. discount; Virginia, South CARROLL

discount. Rates very unsettled and subject 10 wide
fluctuations.
The suspension Of the Charleston, Washington Bait
minore. and Philadelphia banks was announced to-day
BY telegraph but did not have much effect in the street
Tie public mind was fully prepared for these events
and having been quoted by the action Of banks last
evening no ALARM was produced and not the slightest
symptom was evnced Of disposition TO run the city
banks for gold But for the agreement Of yesterday we
have not the slightest doubt that the scenes Of October
1857 would have been reGnacted, and tomorrow
would have seen another general general suspen-
zion. This danger il now avered, the public mind
il quiet the tone in business circles is already
much more cheerful although the actual relief has
not yet comparatively been large, and all parties
are boIefu that the crisis is past. The banks
generally have acted promptly under the agreement
of Yesterday. Every applicant with proper securities
bas been accommodated. We have no doubt the ag-
gregae loans to-day nearly if not quite up to two
millions OF dollars 1t il the intention Of the banks 70
expend ten or even twenty millions, if necessary, to
relieve the mercantile classes and to give full needed
facilities for the movement Of the crops and TO revive
the manufacturing and mechanical industry OF the
country. Every bank in the city is engaged in this
good work and banded together one institution for
the purpose, excepting the Chemical. This bank re-
uses 10 Join in the benefcent measure Of relief adopted
by the Associated Banks yesterday and stands alone in
liz selfish rotation.
The feeling in the Money market was more cheerful
to-day although the relief is too recent TO have any
very marked effect. Demand loans were easy at 3
cent but in the discount houses the business does not
show much ncrease OF activtyyet. The ates of paper
are nominay easier for the seller but the transactions
show little OF no change on the best grades. The range
isI2dI5 p cent, with exceptional sales at S3l0 y
cent 1t il anticipated that rates will be considerably
ameloraed next week.
DISPATCHES from New-0rleans to-day quote sight ex-
change ss advancing and nearly at rate 10 send the
gold recently gent there back again. At Chicago,
change on New.York is nominally7 y cent, and was
scarce.
Letters have been written from banking circles here
strongly urging the union of the Boston banks in one
common agreement ike that adopted yesterday by our
banks, and offering aid in specie if needed This action
il is believed wouldsaye the Boston and New-Engand
banks from the fate which has befallen Baltimore and
Philadelphia.
The Bank Exchange Committee had but very few
bills offered them to-day. They bought about go 900
at lO2, making 100000 in all. The bills which were
pressing on the market must have found an outlet
through private channels.
TIE credit of the connection Of the relief measures
adopted BY the banks s due mainly to Mr. Coe OF the
American Exchange Dir. Gallatin Of the National, and
Mr.. Lyman Of the Clearinghouse.
The movement Of the banks in the four principal
cities of the Unon in which weekly reports are made
as shown by their first statements, is rs follows:
