SAN FRANCISCO MONEY MARKET.

The Bank Commissioners have furnished
the press with statement of the six Gquidat-
ing savings banks of the State, whose total
resources on the 1st of January were 81, 314,
800. Four of these banks are in San Fran
CISCO with resources aggregatipg So, OS2.7O0.
These four banks owe their depositors S. 926, :
800. The Commissioners think that 81 000,-
600 of this amount will be lost, of which the
depositors in the French Bank will lose
SLIGO, 900. That was the worst failure of
the four. The two liquidatiDg banks in the
interior are the Capital of Sacramento and
the San Jose of San Jose. It strikes US that
the Commissioners should have added two
others IN the interior, namely, the Odd Eel
lows of Sacramento, whose accounts are be-
ing liquidated through its successor-the Peo-
ple's-and the Napa Valley Savings Bank
and Lean Society of Napa. The work Of
closing up these old accounts is necessarily
slow, and creditors find patience hard vir.

The banks are carrying more idle coin than
Is desirable at this season of the year. The
reduction in the rates of interest has failed to
give ready employment to available funds.
1t is estimated that the banks and bankers
of the State had over $4,000. 900 in coin on
the lst of January. We presume the
amount is somewhat less to-day, as there has
been good demand for remittance to the

CARD FROM JUDGE BEATTY.

to correct two or three errors in the report of
my speech at the citizens meeting the even

said l had defended claims set up against this
city to the amount Of about one million of
dollars and never charged the city one cent
for it. When the new levee was built in 1862
the city had to condemn the land from
Brighton to point many miles below the
city on which to build the levees. The own
ers of those lands put in extravagant claims
against the city for those lands according to
my present recollection aggregating about
one million Of dollars). and | defended the
city or its Levee Commissioners against all
those claims. l was engaged several months
exclusively in that business, and never charged
the city one dime for my services.

NOTE FROM MR. LARuE.

EDS. RECORD UNION In your report of
the anti-hydraulic meeting at the Pavilion
on Thursday evening last was represented
as saying: " His farm he located in Yolo on
highlands SO high and dry that it was not
best for farming, but this year the food
reached it." [ said had located farm on
highland so high and dry that it was not best
for farming, and that the waters from the
effect of the debris in the river had raised the
water and forced it up on the plains much
further than was ever known before and
to such a distance as to compel certain par
ties to leave their buildings-Mr. Burnett
and Mr.. Martiu-the water being a foot and
one-half higher than ever was known, and if
the rivers continued to FL up as they had done,
in the course CT time they would probably
reach my dry lands. H. NJ. LARUE.

-"The Rise and Fall of the Conled-

book by Mr.. Jefferson Davis, and on
which he has been engaged for the last
five years. The work is to bo issued by
the Appletons, of New York, in two large
volumes at S. each, and is expected to be
out in ninety days. A representative of
the house of Appletons says that Mr..
Davis has proceeded in the preparation
of this history with the utmost delibera-
ton. He has taken nothing for granted,
but has examined into the smallest de-.
tails and sifted the records. He was
ambitious, too, to give the work such
scope as to make it comprehensive as
we'll as thorough. His labor has, there.
fore. been immense. The name first de-
termined on for the work was "The Els
tory of the Confederate war for IDdepen-
dence: Its Causes and Results" but the
one now adopted is evidently the better
one.
