miles north Of the Memphis and OHIO Rail-

THE EXPOSITION.

The Exposition at Cincinnati has been
grand success from the beginning.
From eighteen to twenty-six thousand
have attended it daily, and the entire
attendance has now reached over a third
OF million. This grand success has
been achieved principally by extensive
advertising. A fine cut of the building,
and short stereotype advertisement has
appeared in. nearly every paper in Ohio,
and the surrounding States. The people
have thus been fully made acquainted
with its, objects, and those who have at
tended and returned, have given such
glowing accounts Of the many wonderful
things to pc seen, that others 60, and
still the interest is kept up. The Expo
sition will continue during next week.

THE MONETARY SITUATION.

We are compelled to say that the pam
ic in New York is not q mere furry, and
that it has not subsidized into feeling of
confidence, but that it has extended to
revulsion. 1t is not that the banks are
insolvent, but that they are called upon
for their deposits and the securities
which they hold are unstable, in the
general necessity TO sell, save at ruin
Gus sacrifice. Every intelligent person is
aware that the business of banking is to
receive deposits and loan them, and that,
in ordinary times, an immediate call on
the banks for their deposits would find
them unable to meet it.
The most healthy monetary condition
may be prostrated by a destruction of
confidence. Such panic as this causes
the banks: of the interior and West and
South to cease depositing in New York,
and to call for what deposits they have
there. Capitalists, merchants, and bro
The Jackson daily standard. (Jackson [Ohio]) 1873-188?, 1873-09-26

kers are likely to do the same, even
while they are saying it is only furry,
and will soon blow over, and indeed is
over already. Thus the inflow of depos-
its ceases while the drain comes from all
quarters The decline in such securities
as the banks hold is SO great that to force
a sale of them to ra'se cash would be ru-
inous. They might as well fail at once
as to- sacrifice their assets and make
themselves insolvent and then fail. ~
The immediate effect is also to cut off
the line of discounts to commercial hous-
es, which at once spreads distress into
the general trade.
A general call for deposits makes inev-
liable general suspension. What has
been hoped all along is that there would
be no general call This is the object of
the efforts to quiet the fright and restore
confidence. But there are many who, in
words, try to quiet alarm and to raise
confidence, who. for their own part, draw
their money from the deposit and hoard
it for the crisis to pass. In this way,
vast amount of money gets locked up at
a time when the demand for money is
multiplied
1t would be useless to attempt to con-.
ceal that there is much alarm in New
York, and that the pressure is very Sc
we're, and has not yet eliminated 1t is
working serious disasters to all kinds of
business. It's not, as the London Times
called it, an effort of the financial system
to eliminate its dishonest elements; for
some of the most dishonest elements ri
oted in the panic, and some of the houses
that have gone down are of the best in
the land
The assoeiated banks have found their
mutual plan embarrassing by their un-
to embrace all. But if they
rule out some whom they deem weak,
this will precipitate their failure, and
that may increase excitement to the dan
ger of the associated banks.
We do not. doubt the general sound
ness of the banks and trade of the coun-
try, In the usual order of business they
can pay ALL The restoration of conf
dence would bringfmoney from its boards
into the channels of circulation and de-
posits again, and this would restore the
prices Of securities, which, even in the
speculative stocks, were not inflated

action the public must not judge hastily

all front on Portsmouth Street, and run back to

thus rendering them most convenient for build

Those lots embrace the lower side OF my or

BALTIMORE July 2G.-The loss sus-
