London advicss Of the 9Th inst quote

Exchange on New York WAS taken by
the banks at / disronnt and sold by them
at par.
But very little was done in uncHrrent
money and rates were as heretofore. Bank
Of Tennessee was quiet and firm at SOC
buying and 53c selling. Planters Bank
was in demand at SIC buying and Sc sell
ing, while Union was dali at soc buying
and see selling.
Southern bank notes we're very duh and
rates remain unchanged.
Nashville corporation checks were duh
at 20 cents discount
tennessee bonds were quoted in New
York Yesterday at 66c for the new issue.
It's reported that the Banking Com
mittee have resolved to report TO the
House against the policy OF the Secretary
Of the Treasury which looks TO the extine-
ton Of the national debt.
Mr.. Hooper, Of Massachusetts, as menu
Der of the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, has prepared a resolution which he
intends to offer % test the sense Of the
House Of Representatives, declaring that
there shall be no legislation which will ia
crease the National Bank circulation be-
yond the amount of $500, 100000 nov au-
thorized by law. He is of the opinion that
a large majority Of the House are against
any increase. There is a strong influence
being brought to bear on Congress through
out the West against any reduction Of the
currency. and we notice this movement is
seconded by the New York Com. Exchange,
which adopted A resolution Monday against
a further reduction If possible Congress
will be induced to repeal the law requiring
the Secretary Of the Treasury to retire
100000 of greenbacks per month.
The receipts OF treasure at San Francisco
from all sources during the year 1866,
amount to S53,64T,5 and the exports to
s44, 365,6GS.
The imports of dry goods a New York
during the past year were much larger than
those of any previous year, being S34,257,-
III. in excess Of the imports Of 1865. The |
great increase in these imports began in
August, 1865, and continued until Septem-
Der, 1866, a period Of thirteen months.
There was little relative abatement in |
April, May and June, but the extraordi-
nary gain continued, with this slight check,
for more than year. The business orthe
last three months has been large, but seems |
much less than the reality, because We are |
comparing with the enormous amounts |
landed here during the latter halt of 1868. |
The December returns fall little below |
six millions. which is one and a half mil
lions less than the corresponding return for |
the preceding wear, which Is a favorable |
symptom, but favorable turn in trade will |
cause importing merchants to increase their |
orders, and thus the lesson of the past year
will be forgotten. 1t will interest many Of !
our readers to go further back to 4 period |
antecedent to the war, and We therefore
bring forward the total imports. Of foreign |
