There was q marked abatement of the mon
etary stringeney OF the last few days in New
York on Saturday, and no difficulty was ex-
perienced in borrowing at the legal rate in
currency, while in the afternoon there was a
surplus of funds offering az six sud seven per
cent, and towards the close large amounts
were rendered AZ three per cent. 10 tn prin-
cipal de llers in Government securities with
ont finding takers. This affords conclusive ev-
1dence OF the artificial character Of the recent
sutngency, and shows that the efforts Of the
bear com eination 20 make money scarce have
been suspended. A SINCE stock house lodged
more than four millions 10 its credit AZ one of
the banks on Saturday afternoon: and this of
itself will contribute largely TO restore ca re.
But 1t is obviously in the power Of the bears
to renew the pincn whenever they choose, al
though not to the same extent ss We have
just witnessed. The banks will doubtless en-
deavor TO sustain the rate of interest at six and
seven per cent as long as they can, but this
will not necessarily interfere with the course
OF prices on the Stock Exchange, n we may
Judge BY the record OF the present week. The
returns OF the national banks are practically
made mp already, and thus financial nuts N ee
Is disposed OF for another three months The
