Tuesdays Tribune says of last weeks New
York Bank statement:
The Bank. statement confirms the anticipa-
ton of an extraordinary gain in the Specie
average, which now reaches near $40, 000,-
Goethe largest amount ever accumulated by
the Banks in this city. Tit Loan column
shows a decrease of 81, $780, 00, which is no
doubt an involuntary reduction. The Specie
average is a rising one, and with the addition
of the European arrivals of Saturday and the
California receipts of 5000, 900 by the Cham.
piOn to-day, the next returns must show a
further large gain.
We annex a comparative statement of the
condition of the Banks of New York City,

Tuesdays Times observes, respecting Mon
days New York Monetary affairs:
The Bank return shows another very large
gain in the Specie line, raising the total TO
nearly forty millions on a rising average. At
the same time, the Loans and Discounts go
down nearly two millions, for the week, in
the absence of legitimate employment for
Money. and the cheap rates at which it is
offered, on temporary employment, by out
side lenders. In this condition of things,
the drawers of Exchange on London have
advanced the rates to l07A@l08 " cent
not because of any increased trade demand,
but from a disinclination to draw against
balances in London, which are paying a bet
ter interest on that side than the Money
could be employed at on this.
We learn these balances are now very
large, not only for New York, but for South
ern account. The price of Money to-day, on
the Stock Exchange, is not over sac per
cent. with the Discount Shavers, cor per
cent.
In Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia,
business is quite dull and Money easy, at SO
10 per cent, with light offerings of first,
class Paper outside of Bank.
In st. Louis and Chicago, business is
rather dull and Monetary affairs are easy,
Eastern Exchange ruling in the former at 8
and in the latter city at 4H@5 per cent.
In New Orleans, Financial affairs are quiet
and Money is easy, and lO@l2 per cent. fol
