SUNDAY, Nov. Is, 1868.
After heightened period OF stringency in money
ana an unusually depressed condition OF the stock
market the week closed with sudden cessation OF
the which produced the strngency In the one
and the decline in the other Friday last marks the
day Of the greatest depression In stocks the values
OF which had continued TO fall in the face OF an easy
state OF money brought about as early AZ last Tues
day. The reason OF their doing SO In contrarety 10
the general rule that prices advance when money IS
abundant was the deep-seated distrust engendered
by several previous pretended Withdrawals OF the
greenbacks locked by the combination Of bears who
engineered the whole crisis the effect OF which each
time was to induce renewed speculation and conse-
quent heavy losses. Operations In Wall street were
conducted with caution which produced dulness.
Those who had their margins swept away were OF
course out Of the street. and those who had suffered
. to sthe extent OF fraction, large or small, Of
their capital, had less to invest and were
more careful about locating that ttle At the same
time money began to be abundant In the city. Ex-
change turned In favor of New York. The use OF the
three per cent certificates made money easier in the
banks; loans were scrutinized with more care, and
o general conservative feeling pervaded financial
circles. The combination found that the elasticity
OF business was beginning to cover the gap in the
currency produced by the tying up OF the twelve or
an appearance OF another blocking up'' was pro-
duced through the exchanges Of the Bank Of the
Commonwealth On the latter day the public, who had
commenced to dstrust these signs as much as they
had those OF an easy money market, wavered IN
doubt then became pancstricken and let go of their
stock. Prices touched their lowest, the "bears"
purchased covered their short contracts and brought
the greenbacks to light once more.
The rate for money during the week was seven per
cent currency with q few exceptional transactions
at this rate in coin on Monday and during few
hours on Friday. Balances after banking hours In
some instances did not command more than six, and
for the cash In short" speculatious in governments
higher rate would not be paid.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks
shows those institutions to be richer than they were
at the close Of the previous week Of panic and gloom
and will inspire confidence at the opening OF the
business for the ensuing week. There is an increase
