Not transaction to-day have we to record.
There is no demand for money unless it can be had

ness will justify higher rate at this time In and
about the banks it was quiet, remarkably quiet.
The amount payable was light, and will be lighter
as the season advances.
In tbs Exchange market there were no transact

ern cities though daily carried on and being ille-
gal, we DO not regard them, for we really do not
care If those who want to place funds RorthWard
have 10 pay or no get premium. 1t is suggested
that our banks ought to watch many applications
for renewals, as some branches of Northern firms
are known to be troubled With what are termed
the + shorfs.r We do not agree with some of our
moderate citizens moderatsts We call them) that
oar banks should renew obligations where the id
vantaRes are to enure to citizens Of the Northern
States, tbngh they may have had branches per-
y manentIy IN our city for years, even q score of
years Or more. We know that many of these
hybrid cisgsns are tinctnred with the feelings of
Black Republicanisn, coercion and subjugation, as
well as We do that today is Monday. We know
that they can be counted by hundreds and thou
sands, and that they are now within the limits of
the Confederated States.
According to the quotations Of the New York
Exchange Board, some Of the shares of the New
York banks are going down by the RIM. We note
the sales Of the great Bank of Commerce, of New
Fork, at Is, Or ~ got. dis. with capital Of ten

the gentleman in black. In the meantime, we
hope that the satrap Bennett, the little villain Ray

these monetary editors TO inform the world how
much Of the 500 ,oO0. 600, called for by Lincoln

VIII those boobies and snobs, the Brooks of the
Express that little fanatic of the Boston Post and
the other small potatoes say how much will be
taken in New York and Boston? As for Philadel-
phia, it ID too circunnscrihed to notice. When Ste
phen Girard died, the city Of Brotherly Love lost
its talisman.
We present below the last ha1f-yearly statement
Of the Bank Of Kentucky and branches. 1t does
not show SO very strong. IL has S5l3, 1856 in sus-
pended debt, real estate and the stock of that in
famous sWinde of Lewis, OF the Schuylkill Bank of
Philadelphia. AL the gold and silver on hand to
meet over two and half millions due depositors,
circulation and banks, amounts to s769. so5. As
regards the balance of s75s 7ss on deposit in New
York and Philadelphia, it may be worth its face
and may not be worth fifty cents on the dollar
under the present situation Of the country. Ken
lucky is Inst nj likely to be in the position Of Mary
land as that the sun will rise tomorrow. OF
course, these banks now doing nothing viii do
something less.
