FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TELEGRAPH,
Wednesday, August Is. 1866.

Wednesday, August Is, 1866.
The indications in monetary matters continue
TO point to a prolonged ease. The national
finances are working easily, and there is no
pressing demand for money for any of the regu-
lar channels of trade. The Secretary of the
Treasury will reduce the interest if indeed he
should not pay off his % cent. currency de-
posits, on 10 days notice, on or after Sep
tember l. These deposits amounted on 1st
August to SOS, ,665, ,469. His y cent green
back deposits to the different Clearing
house banks of New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Chicago,
amounted to $50, ,O00, coo. These last he will not
probably disturb. But his present currency
balances in the Treasury, and the certainty that
his Income taxes, aside from other internal and
customs revenues, win be very large in August,
will enable him to pay off all other interest
bearing certificates of deposits. He cannot. On
reasonable terms, command for payment any
other currency obligations. The Compound
Legaltender notes are not TO be had except at a
premium on par value and the full accumulated
interest. The rates of interest on the street are
gradually lowering and call loans, in some i'll.
stances, are made as low as per cent.

fraction higher at o'clock.
