The remarkable icatuit IL this statement Is the
large increase ia the deposits. This the New
Yors Herald regards IS " the irst starting symp-
tom Of the initiation which is in progress and
attributes it 30 tue large amount cf government
paper in the shape Of certificates cf deposit and
treasury notes which have found their wsv into
the New York market within the previous week,
and also in some degree - the bank expansion
which has been going on actively, especially
among the banks Of the interior.
The increase Of nearly se5ea millions in bank
deposits for one northern city in single week IS
an event exceedingly significant in tire present
crisis. Experience IN the Confederate States. IS
well as in every other country surrounded
by similar circumstances, shows that al IN
crease Of bank deposits has always been
followed by development Of speculation
Ia merchandise. stocks snd reai estate, which
greatly damages the healthy tone Of faaE-

now threatened with This evil which we have
