COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

From The Philadelphia Ledger.

from UlS 1nISIUSkptttH LGuHGfs
By the statement of the National
banks of the country, for the quarter
ending on the 1st instant, 1t appears
that the loans and discounts then stood
at S644, 600, 600, against S5Ss, ,0O0. 600 at the
same date last year; while the deposits
Individual, United States, and those of
Ciisbursing ofhcers) amount to 1886, ,O00,-
600, against $571, eco 600, SO that with an
increase of S24, 600. 600 in deposits, there
is an augmentation of S56, 10000 in
loans. The amount of plain legal
tenders and fractional currency on
hand is S1O0, ,OOO, 600, against S102 0O0. zoe
in 1867. The compound notes and, three
per cent. certificates combined amount
TO $64, 600, 600, against S75, 600, goo of
compounds last year; SO that the total
legal-tenders now amount to S164, ,000,-
600, against SIT, ,OOO, 600 year ago. This
statement is calculated to foster a con-
servative feeling among the banks. 1t
is not easy to account for the large
increase of S56, 600, 600 upon July,
1860 in the loans and discounts,
otherwise than upon the supposi-
tion that ihe recent large watering
of stock corporations has largely aug
mented the loans upon that class OF
collaterRlB. 1t is notorious that buBi-
ness is everywhere dull, and that mer-
chants have not been requiring the ay-
erage amount of discounts; so that the
increase must have occurred upon de-
mand loans. In this condition of
things,it would be hazardous in the ex-
treme to the commercial interest OF the
country should the banks yield to the
importantly of stock operators, who
are trying to negotiate time loans upon
in their stocks, order to bridge over the
usual trade demand of the fall months.
The banks are imperiling their own
interests by carrying such an enormous y
amount of stocks at high prices, In
times of unusual uncertainty, 70 say
nothing OF their neglect of the CONNER
cial interest, their main support lIs As y
reported that some of the large stock
operators at New York are buying up
considera BILE amounts OF bank stocks,
in order 10 influence the managers 30
as 10 secure from the banks Whatever
accommodation they may need. When
speculation has to resort to such des-
perate expedients, the time has come
for lenders to treat it with caution.

RECENT explorations show Northern
Minnesota to be perhaps the most re-
markable slate region in the world.
The slate ridge is some twenty odd
miles in leDgt and six in width. In
one place are mounds of slate covering
a large extent of territory, which
have the appearance OF city, there
being streets, houses and towers OF
regular shape, the whole presenting a
most singular and interesting appear
ance. AT one point in the st. Louis
river is large island of pure, workable
slate, towering above the surface of the
stream at hight of 20 feet.
