Bank stocks have fallen lately some ten to TWEEN
ty per cent This decline was predcated upon the
losses which the banks were expected to make
through the Southern reputation Of debts, and
through their negotiations with the general 60
vernment. Several leading institutions have taken
some pains of late to form an estimate of the &C.
tual amount OF loss sustained by the banks OF New
York through Southern reputation. They arrive
at the conclusion that five per cent-say the profits
Of eight months business-on the gross capital OF
the banks will cover the entire loss from this
source. With regard to their negotiations with
government, it must be borne in mind that on the
18th Of August the New York city banks placed to
the credit of the United States government sum
of s35 900 000 which has ever since drawn interest
at the rate of 730. or this loan, the banks have
sold to the public about one half and ten per cent
of the whole, or $500 200, still remains undrawn
by government On lst October second sum Of
s35 900 eco passed to the credit Of the govern
ment, the whole Of which remains undrawn, though
the banks receive interest thereon at the rate Of
1880 per annum. On the LIST November, or there
abouts, a third sum Of SIS 0C0 900 will be placed
to the credit of the government, and will COM
mence to draw interest at the rate Of 7.30. Expe-
rience has proved that the public will in course OF
time relieve the banks Of the whole Of the 7.30
notes, or of so much of them as they wish to part
with. Their specie strength has continued to in
