| purchases to-day had reached 5000
900.
There is 60 excitement in the fnan-
cial circle to-day, and Wall and Broad
streets again present their usual appear
apcs. The excitement among uP-toT Tn
savings banks is also dying out
and and there is no appearance
OF run on any. except the
Union Dime, which is promptly paying
all demands. Nearly all the ssvlnSs
banks have adopted the thirty days no
tice rule to prevent any excessive de-
msnds. The bank of the Common
wealth still keeps it's doors closed. The
run on the Fourth National has aimost
ceased.

NatioraI Of Washington.
A Washington dispatch says that the
most prominent depositor in the Firat
National Bank OF that ciIy, next to
President Grant, was Andrew johnson.
In the First National he has always
kept his account since he was Presi-
dent and it will be remembered that
while General Butler was making an
inye,tigation as to the cause which
preyented the Impeachment OF Mr..
johnson, the latters bank account WAS
rried into, and it was found that his
worldly wealth did not exceed 80 ,OO0
At the time Of the failure Of the bank
Mr.. johnson had 100000 TO bis credit,
on which he was receiving six per cent.
interest, which was his only revenue.
Should the bank be unable to discharge
its obligations, a contingency by no
means improbable, Ex-Presideut johns
son will be almost penniless. Another
case which will excite sympathy is
that of Mrs. John q. Wilson, whose
husband, a member OF Congress- elect
from Oregon, recently died. Mr.. Wilson
had one thousand dollars on deposit IL
bank when he died, and arrangements
were making by Judge Williams and
Senator Kelly to obtain the money tor
the widow, who is wholly without
means, and is now teaching schooj u
support her family. The Smithsonian
Institution had $4,000 on deposit.

Every banking institution in Brook
lyn, with single exception, was repre-
sented at the meeting OF Presidents
Yesterday. 1t was determined that in
case OF run on any one OF the banks,
all Of the others would come to iIs as
distance. 1t was also resolved that
savings banks, If necessary, should take
advantage OF the thirty days clause in
their charter. A number OF poor women
an lsboring men have gathered at the
savings banks, awaiting their opening,
but nobody seems to think that any
thing like a run will take place. Rev
VIM. Quinu, Vicar General Of New
York, was at the Emigrant Savings
Bank yesterday, advising depositors 10
leave their money with the bank, where
it was safe. He promised to be on
hand to-dsy.
General Hillhouse has declined 10
give the names OF sellers Of bonds on
the ground that some sellers are con-
nected with savings banks, and TO an

bring discredit upon their banks, which
facts DO not warrant.
