WEDNESDAY EVENING, Dec. %, 1851
We have NO change TO note In the condition Of The
money market, only that currency ia gradually be-
coming scszrer every dny. The demand Tor dIs-
count Is quite active and the deposits al The so.lous
banks arc being rapidly reduced, BY which the abI-
ity Of our discount houses Ia 1asseued. Tho Na-
sional Banks are trying hard 10 gain currency by
contracting their line Of discounts, but between
the rrmittances to Ecw York and the falling OF in
deposits, 1t IL found TO be ''upEiil work" Posi-
bly, before the fret day Of January NEXT IN Inprore-
nent may take place In the financial position, but
se the leading houses arc e1prcseing hom $4,000
to $t5o, ,oD0 In currency to New York daily, the
prospects are not very blight There Is no change
In the 1ate o! discount The banks are passing A
paper tor their beat customers at 10 PET cent per
annum, but second and third class borrowers hare
to pay private bankers 1h9a per cent per month.
II IL a noticeable fact, In connection With the
present stingency in the market, that a1l classes
are complaining Of the ''scarcity Of money" the
retailers, who ought to be doing IN active business
ut present. Just preceding the holidays, site that
sales are unusually light, and that "moaey Is
scarce The wholesale merchants are dong fair
business, hut they inform rs thatbuyez4 are pus-
chasing only ''from hand to mouth" The truth L.
the people have the money, md nor that they ex-
pect 1t to appreciate In saue. they ere holdny It.
Just As they hold their wheat, corn and hogs, for
hlcher pr1eas.
The supply Of Eastern Exchange Il very liehf.
and tho ma1ke: Is ft At par bu ,ing and 1-10 pre-
MUM selling. The bankers arc paying premium
uf thousand for ronnd 1ot., and they are
selling to each other a: psem5nmoi 752soc per
thousand. :!
