The usual weekly exhibit of the city national
banks is again unfavorable to the borrowing
classes, though less SO than that of several pre-
ceding weeks. The deposits are down $676, 461,
and specie $l36,25S but there is an increase in
legal tenders amounting to $222, 794. The loans
reflect the contracting policy of the banks and
extreme caution, being S732, 062 less than last
week. That the banks are drawing in their
lines preparatory to pinch is evident from the
diminished business of the week amounting to
over four millions. The demand for discounts
to-day is quite lively and rates are firm, but the
speculative demand is light.
Gold is decidedly dull and steady, the sales
ranging from 11614O116I. Speculation is at
standstill, pending the expected great battle.
Government bonds show increased firmuess
both at home and abroad, but there is little or
nothing doing in this market.
Stocks were decidedly quiet but firmer; sales
of City 6e, new ISSUE at 1922.
Reading Railroad was quite active aud
stronger; sales at 4S@4S 16. Small transac-
tions in Pennsylvania at 5S9s, and Catawissa
preferred at 371s. "a was offered for Philadel-
phia and Erie and Al for North Pennsylvania.
Canal, bank, coal and passenger railroad
stocks were barely noticed
