ANOTHER LOOK AHEAD.

The Boston Herald OF a recent date,
speaks in the following discouraging &
strain about the New \ ork banks sur
plus:
I'VE have recent y presented IN differ
ent articles several substantial reasons tor
the fear, which We are sorry to say Is IN
us. that the banks are running. and 10
all appearances with their eyes smut, in
the direction Ol very serious trouble.
We nave proved II that the demand Tor
currency trom the producing sec
tions will draw twenty-five, and, perhaps
thirty millions OF green backs out of the
reserve OF the New York osDks;
~ that the banks are not IN
good condition 10 meet TINS
dram, because they have allowed their
reserve to fall very far below its usual
strength at this season, and (3) that the
supply OF money available Tor crop
moving purposes IN the paper using
States has been reduced ~ least 5,0O0,-
900 below the oare SuticienCy of last
year Ii follows from this TACT and from
the universal excellence OF the crops u
be moved, thst Eastern tinanCiers must
expect both II peremptOry demard Tor
cIrculsb.e meney and unusual difficulty
IN obtaining currency largely from any
source of supply outside OF their reaerve
1t has been argued that the banks Will
be abe to spare the greentncks from
their reserves for time by replacing
them with gold But gold Is not live
reserve. 1t is money only by cohsidera-
tion OF Jaw 80 long us 1t beats pre-
mum it will be merchandise, and 1t can
not be anything else. Iu the fatal month
OF Septen Der, 1873, the banks had plenty
Of gold in their vaults, but they
could not employ doisr Of II
except for payments 10 special
depositors. Tne contrast between the
availability OF green backs and gold rs q

two lines oi figures than by an argument

been committed at Dieppe. correspondent
tells me tnat the other day. on the occasion OF Il
large fire, the Japanese Minister accredited to
this court, with the Special Commissioner and
another of the suite, were quietly gazing at the
scene, having received special permission to
pass through the Gordon OF gendarmcs. III a
few minutes all overzea;ous soldier pounccd
on them and insisted with outspokeu threats
that they should join the line Of bucket~passers.
Expostu]ations in dubious French were Of no
avail, Literally at the point OF the bayonet thcy
were driven to this work. They wisely accepted
