reflects, as nearly as can be. the general situation.
Depositors srs steadily drawing cut their balances,
chiefly for advances upon produce, 10 addition to
which there is . pretty free Offering Of wool and
iron paper, much OF which the Banks are forced to
decline when offered by other Than regular Gus
toners. The present situation Of trade lie agaIns.
an early return Of the currency thus withdrawn
from the Banks, and an extended peri d Of strin-
geney seems inevitable unltss an unlocked for

Their decline to day, but except on Wheat there
wss no effect made upon prices here. The fact Ia,
this market is in . peculiarly independent position

to meet the regular wants Of customers. The stock
Of Flour was hardly ever lower than 1t present,
and millers are not doing more than nunHoient K
keep pace with their orders. which are by no mean
large. Prizes are consequently well maintained
