The money market did not seem disturbed
to-day to any great extent by the announcement
that the banks during the past week had further
decreased their loans and discounts over three
millions, and that the bulk OF specie had been
reduced nearly eight hundred and seven thousand
dollars. These statements may not for the present
produce any visible commoton; but that they
affect monetary affairs to a certain extent is
an incontrovertible fact, and one that must
be acknowledged by every person who. is
not prepared to assert that the market can
be managed independently of the associated
banks. The spirit of speculation has at present
such a firm grip upon Wall street operators
that they are unable to give moments Sttenton to
the course in which they drifting If the banks
continue to contract their loans at the same rate
they have done during the past two weeks break
down is inevitable before the opening Of spring,
and it therefore behooves the outside public to
place their affairs in condition to meet it.
