FINANCIAL AND COnIMElRsCIaI,.


| SATURDAY kvEr1Ha. Joly %, 1861.
The past week has been one Ct financial stringency
| rcver Exceeded In Chicago. We might add thati

man 1htuld Iecret. To-day, nn5th1ng, It Is inten
Elhc ovcr any previous daT. We ara. not suro that
all Eho art rea5 entitled to consideration from the
btnks have received it. Very surely, men engBged
ia gu sffonable operations have been entirely neg
lected. Many Of The latter class die h.zd and arc
cling theif best to save Themselves We hear that
keve1al teavy holders Of lard. and oshsr like FRO
ducts, have been notified By their bankers tia. theJ
mus transfer 1t 10 their own shoulders, and not
dGno In few days. 1t Will be forced upon the uarse
to realize The baEkess whoav verurn1shed operators
tht Efa-s want their money back, and will hxve It,
They do not Ike to tske the chances in panic which
everybody predicts will certainly GENE.
The b.eatstnfs snd other markets were quite weak
and dun t1.dsy, and many articles were loT=r-Wheat

la:ors is growing weak. ANeek ago they would hsye
bten enabled to zally the marke ard carry 1t up

day.
Ezehsnae remsins as close as yesterday, aud per-
hnps mora 20. Bankers have been very 10th 10 sell to
esch other today, even At par, snd they havs been
compelled to pay even q small advance on that rate
to curtomers ard then give to the latter at
PSF. IL the hope TINT tbs present scarcity might
rsl1eved In \ few DAYS It hardly seems p,obable
that any produce will he shipped Has. 10 long es this
ps.Eens nI.t1ed condition OF the Eastern markets
remain. II this be true tltre will be little or no ex-
charge made. OF course, this Will but iucrsa.e the
present embarrassment, and the p7lce must SO up.
What course the bankers will tate in the enezgeacs
his not been indicated. We can hardly, under pres
eLt adVtseEent. see any escape from an advance.
