Notos as Jargo ns 9600, $100, or oven &G0, are of comparatively littlo uso In the coiintry, whoro tho greatest noceosity is for 86s and 104, Wo wundorstand that somo of our baukers havo ad- rossed tho Sccretary of tho Tremsury ropre~ eonting the necessity of remitting a supply of emall bills fu tho Bub-Treasury in thia city for tho nccommodation of tho Northwest, That thoro {a n prossing noceusity for such notion ov- cry bankor and grain-doaler in the 'Northwost will testify, Tho unprecedentod domand for currency makos a necossily for unusual moans of_neoting it. s Monoy contiunos oasy onough in this markot yot.

Just at prosent the aspect of commorcial afs Tni1g is overything that could bo desired. Tho Twrge crop of whent, tho high prico it solia for, and tho rapidity with which it is being takon oul of tho country leaving o large amount .of ayaifablo eapital in tho country and stimulating all kinds of busincss, But it is to bo foared this anay not continuo unintorrupted. Tho grontos obstaclo to the prosperity uot. only of tho Wost, but of tho Uniled Stutos, ‘is lack of sufll- cient means of transportation. At one timo it is tho insufliciency of tonungo on the Iakes, nnd at anothor on tho ocean, Tho inndoquacy of the Inke marine to move tho wheut and corn crops of thoe West s being folt now, but it is probable that a month hence even u gronlor doficiency will bo oxporioncoed in the Tueuns of travsporéntion from Now York to Liv- erpool. Tho *‘cotton year " bogina Bept. 1, and, necording to the oxperience o% past yoars, the oxports of cotton aro likely to bo four'or fivo times groater n month honce than they aro vow. The Lnglish and' Continental stooks of cotton on hand sre much ' smaller than at this timo last year. In Now York thero is an nclive ond rising markot, aud 8 good domand for export. . The crop of .cot- ton is Iargo nud prices aro good, lonving the planter o satisfactory profit, Under these cir- cumstances, it is altogothor probable - that tho cottou crop' will como forward- with, as mtich rrumpnlude a tho whent is now doing: By the st of Octobor the export of cotton will absorb a largo majority of the froight room from Now York to Liverpool that is now available for Wheat and corn. 'Lhus it is not improbable that tho moro competition for tranaportation of our t crops will bo the merns of < reducing tho recuived by tho producor, notwithetandin tho coutinuance of an netive domaund and goafi prices in England, ‘ . _THE $G00 COUNTERFEIT. Tho cxistonco of the uuusually dangerous wounterfeit 500 groonbucks was not gonerally Linown to tho public until yesterday; but ns long 850 nh.lust Baturday one of theso bills was do- tocted in a bank packago boro in Chicago, aftor it had pasned throngh fwo baoks, Tho packnge coming finally futo the bands of the Corn Ex- change National Bunk, the eashier oponod tho packige, and, in counting it over, thought ho do- tected something _differont in tho appearance of ouo of tho %300 bills from tho othors. But a8 no counterfeit £500 bill had then over been Lieard of, and ns, upon closer scratiny, ho felt doubtful as to whethor tho dif- furonco was real or fancied, ho moroly morked ko bill with the initinls of tho bank from which bo recoived it, Subscquently, whon it becamo kuown that thoro was such o conutorfoit, he was ablo to identify this s one. Auother instanco showing tho extromely dangerous charactor of this new countorfoit is that of Mossrs, Dancan, Sherman & Co., bankors, of New York; who, on last Tuosday, took ono of theso bills without any Buspicion of 1ts character being aroused. On tho samo day they sent this and soveral othor bills of “similar denomination to the Sub-Treasury to obtain small . Dbills, Mr. Guliek, “the eashior nt_the Bub-Treasury, pronounced it countorfoit. That mado tho third ouo of thesa counterfeits presented at the Sub- Treasury botwoen Monday hiorning and Tuosday noon. OF thoso who conio to the Sub-Troasury with monoy.at ail tho majorily are bankors, aud tho fact that so mavy were offored in #o short a B8pace of timo shows that thore aro notouly a great many of them in_ cireulation, but that tho porsons most familiar with money hnvo boon de- ceived by them. Wo have examined tho oue that was dotected in the Corn Exchange Nutionul Bank iu this city, and call attention to the most ready moaus of 'dotection, Tho most prominent difference betweon the genuine and countorfeil i6 in the paper, which is considorably | thicker und stiffer in the countorfeit.- Tho uoxt niost prominent difforenco is that the back of the counterfeit is darker than the genuino. Do- #idos thoso, thera ave soveral infinitessmal diffor- eices in the engraving of the faco, but, on tho ‘wholo, the engraving is o accurate a represon- tation of the gonuino that it would bo impossi blo for any ouo to identify the defects by de reription, unlees Lie Lad & gontine bill to com- paro with, and perbaps the most roliablo and ready meuns of: detection will bo in tho greator thickness of the paper and the darker appearance of tho back of the countorfoit.
