On Monday evening last the follow
Ing action was had by Chicago bank
ers:
The Chicago Clearing House asso.
citation of banks and bankers resolve
that until further action, and in view
OF the disturbed condition of affairs
in New York and other cities, and the
difficulty Of converting balances into
currency, its members be recommend :
ed and authorized to suspend currency
payments on any large demands
made upon them, either from coun-
try banks Or over their counters.
Dispatches of last night show that
this action of the Chicago bankers is
commended in Keokuk and Des
Moines, Iowa, ,..also by those of Quincy
and Peoria, Ill. The eScitcm.nt
throughout the whole country is great,
and yet everybody expresses the ut
most confidence in the banks, except
such as have been dealing in railroad
stock. The opinion prevails that
banks generally must suspend until
the people settle quietly down.
Our produce which had commenced
moving, is about totally checked.
Eastern banks refuse to send currency
west, and as a consequence no produce
can be bought.
This certainly cannot last long, for
the starving must have bread and the
currency depot must be unlocked in
the East.
