"WEDNESDAY EVENING, Jan. 15, 1862.
The money market for the has been unusually
quiet. no exciting topic Of any kind was dis
eussed, and customers and bankers seemed alike
disposed TO wait for further Developments. Cur
rcncy is working easier, though perhaps the de-
nland for it to-day was not so pressing. The
European steamers news produced rather more
hopeful feeling, but far as We could observe, it
did not stimulate transactions to any considerable
extent. The suspension Of the State Bank Of Ohio
produced effect Eha, ever as 1t did not disturb
public confidence in the soundnesg OF the bank in
the least. The measure was in fact approved, as
being necessity, forced upon the Ohio banks by
tho suspension of thc banks upon the seaboard.
New York exchange continues rery abundant.
