THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT


The bills Of the Bloomington Bank, of
Bloomington, Indiana, have been thrown
out by the brokers of Indianapolis and
Chicago. ... ..-
The Kentucky banks have determined to
continue paying specie as usual, believing
that a suspension would afford no CONNER.
ciaI relief.
The money market in Milwaukee on Sat-
urday. was closer on the streets, but money
was in moderately good supply at the
banks. Exchange was still at 5per cent.
premium, and but few sales at that
In New York, on Saturday, stocks
opened better, but closed hardly so firm.
Not much change in money matters gen.
orally.
A despatch from Augusta, Georgia, Of
the 9th, says that spurious notes on the
Mechanics Bank of that city are in circu.
lation. They are printed in colored ink.
The genuine are not printed in colors.
In New York, on Monday the 10th, the
stock market was better and moderate
business done. Money was in good demand
and firm at old rates. Counterfeit SIS on
the Rock Island County Bank, New York,
were in circulation.

1t is generally believed that the Comp
troller of Wisconsin will not make further
call upon the banks for additional securities,

ciated. The standing of the Wisconsin

A rumor was current in st. Paul, Mon
day and yesterday, that some twenty of the
Illinois banks had been discredited in Chi.
cago, but we learn that the only foundation
for the report was the fact that they had
been thrown out in Cincinnati, and the list
published in Paddock's Bank Mirror. PR.
vate advices from Chicago state that bet
ter feeling prevailed in relation to the banks,
although financial affairs were very much
depressed, and exchange ruled from six to
ten per cent. The rate of exchange in St.
Paul, for Illinois currency is six per cent
