AMONG THE BANKS, Bo far as the financinl situation at the banks yesterday was concerned, tho briofest way to oxpresa it would be to say that it was bettor, do- cidedly botter, than it was Wodnoaday, and that much of the uncertainty and distrust which stilt romained thon has disappesred, banished by tho continued indications that the tido of disns- tor hns turned, nnd that tho brighter days are coming. Binco nothing is a8 monotonous and eventful ag well-bemng, tho daily round among tho banks was marked by no striking develop- ments, and no surprising statemonts from the boginning to tho end of tho list. Mr. A. said ditto to Mr. B, It was a song of improving timos, which all of them united in singing. It +was, in substanco, that they all folt better; that evorything looked more oncouraging; that it seemed as if the panio was over; that the depos. ita were increasing, and were shord of the sums checked out ; and that thoy would ppeedily bo in o position where their time would not bo taken up in looking aftor themsolves, but whero they could, 8 before, como to tho aid of trade and commerce. NEW YORK DRAFTS. Complaint has boen made within n day or two, by soveral business men in this city, that tho Dbanks, when they went to them with New York drafts snd wanted the cwtency thorefor, ro- fused to take thom at par, but insisted on charg- ing a discount of2, 3, or ovon 5 per cent. The result is, it is alleged, to hampor the holders of tho drafts, and to compel them to sond them to New York and havo the currency remitted by ox- press,—tho rosult boing that largo sums of money aro thus practically looked up during the duys that thoy aro in transit. o this tho banks reply, protty gonerally, that they are willing enongh to take ail thoso drafts at par, provided the person depositing thom will not attompt to check out currency on them, bu will, whou Lo wants it, take Now York oxchnugo from thom. When that 18 done, ono hand washes the othor, and there is no possiblo logs to anybody. But If thoy tuke the drafts at par,and sond them to New York, they do mot by any menns got the currency for them. They aro cer- tiflod through tho Clearing-Houso, and then they Liavo to bo put in tho hands of & broker on the streot, who sells them for curroncy, or rather, buys curroncy with thom, and has to psy & pro- mium for it, equivalent to a discount of 2 or 8 por cont on the drafts. Then the currency thus purchased is exprossed here, and the Ohicago bank, if it took the drafts at pnr, i8 out tho discount and tho expross charges, Henco a discount of 5 por cent chargod by them just about leaves them even. Loan cortificatos aro worthloss to them, snd would have to bo used in the pur- chase of greenbacks, which, in New Yorlk, are ‘becoming like gold, a commodity, Thoso bank- officors who have not Leen eallod upon to moeb {his issuo scom to agroo fully with tho rensoning of thoso who have, OURRENOY TRANSFERS. Somo of the bankers think that an immenso amount of curroncy must be all tho while on tho rond between here and Now York, aud thus rendered temporarily unavailable, whilo all that ciroumloontion coutd ensily bo dispensed with if mon quit sending curronoy thoy have in nand to New York, and, instead of that, put it in circulation hore, An instsnco was montloned of a man who had £10,000 in groon- backs, which ho thought of sondivg to Now York, in ovdor to invoest it in loan-cortificates, on which ho would bo able to mako a small per- contage.

Tho officors of this bouk exprossed them- solves to tho offect that the lmnic was ovoer, that tho banks woro in rensonnbly good shnpo, and that it wos now gotting time for them to look after tho interests of commorce, Currency was stoadily coming in, and if the New York baunks would only shut down at once, it would greatly {facilitato mattors, and put an ond to tho trouble with Now York drafts mentioned above. It was ‘uscless for them to try to hold on to their eur- rcucf\_sfiuqu the Weat had the things which would inovitably draw it hero,—tho grain and provisions. But here everything lookad enconr- aging.

DANK OF ILLINOIA. Thero was peaco and happiness at the Bank of Tllinois, Mr, Nash, tho Cashior, was forono ag usual, and said that their standing was ss good ssover. They hnd not been troubled at any time, and now that everything wns looking brighter, of course they bad no spprehonsious. Mr. John R. Walsh, of the Westorn Nows Com- pony, and one of tho Dircctors, shared theso viows fully. Ilis own businoss fnnd, of courso, beon sli;l;htly afocted. 'Tho ordors for booke and atrtionary bad naturally beon a little dimin- islied, but ho felt no concern eithor for the bank or tho Nows Company. IN THE HIDE AND LEATHER DANK the Prosident took an equally sanguino viow of tho stato of affairs, Yestorday he began to transact businoss for his customers, and ho con- sidered that, in a vory short time, tho banks will bo moving the grain-crop Eastward,—an ovent whioh will be immedintoly succeeded by an im- roved feelingall over the West. His dufiusnu, ostatod, daily oxceod she antount of his checks, and altogether ho considored tho stato of affairs vory naguring. 4 AT THE FIDELITY thoro was no crowd. Everything was quict, and all, including tho President, Mr. Haiues, wero in good spirits. The Intter stated that during the morning thoy had only had two uotices of with- drawal, which siguified nothing, since at ordinary timos, when this notice was not roquired, moro than that nuwbor of persous were in tho habit of withdrawing their doposits daily, Thoir re- coipts wore good, and 8o far as thoy could sco everything looked encouraging. Tho ssmo report was made by tho Bank of Chicago. COOK COUNTY NATIONAL. Tho President of the Cook County National Bauk, hlko all the others saw signs of o gonoral improvoment, in which his institution particl- patod. ‘The doposits woro in oxcess of the drafts upon him, and ho conld sco no reason why this turn for the better, should not continuo. Every- thing looked promisivg and ha snw nothing which would be apt to interfore to check it. At Proston Koan & Company, and atthe Gor- mavin Bank the samo idons scems to bo ontor- tained.

It being bold Dby all the bankers whose in- atitutions woro stoered olonr of the phoals of gusponsion and bronkers of Iquidation that, us far as thoy are concerned, no immodiate danger s vislblo, spoculations naturally aroso in the public mind as to what condition tho maunufactures of the ity wero in. In ono respect, thio intorest which . community ha in the well-boing of its manufactures is par- amount to almost all otiiors. Many of thoso HIVES OF INDUSTRY, caso which provails groatly in Ohleago, aro on- gaged In worl, the prinelpal item of cxpouse of whick is the labor employed, o that whon their rosources aro shortened & painful altornativo is loft tho employor to eithor muturlally cut doywn wages, work on shortonod timo, or dlscharge & number of honds. Tho ovils which ariso from thoso offects following o stringonoy in tho monoy market aro too woll known to need mentioning, The num- bor of men employed in manufacturey of diffor- ont kinds in this city In cstimniod nt belween 80,000 and 40,000, 'Tur Tninuxe roporter who waa detatled yostorday to visit tho manufactorios found that the omployors of theso mon hada full appreciction of their duty both as cmploy~ ora and n8 citizons, Itis vory evidont that in oll cnyos tho most stronuous cfforta aro boing mado to keop the works golng. In his peregri- uatlons among tho manufactories on tho South Bide, west of the river and botween Twellth and Twenty-second streets, the reportor visiteda number of TIIE LARGEST FACTONIES IN TRE CITY and took notes of woveral intorviews ho had with tho mon attho lend. The firmt factory visited wns that known ns tho Goes & Phillips Manufacturing Compnny, at the cornor of Clark and Tivelfth streots, whoro the makingof sashes, doors, blinds, otc., is conducted. Iero ho met Mr, Cbharles L. Jouks, tho Treasurer of the Company; with whom ho conversed upon tho slato of affairs as nffocting mannfacturing inter- csts In Obicago, In answer to n worics of quons tions, ‘Mr, Jonks stated that tho Company em- ployed, when in full oporation, botweon 600 and 600 bonds, that numbor boing engnged nf presont, At the timo tho panfo occurred they wore from four to six wooks behind fn tholr ordors, Somo of thoso lave wineo been eanceled in consoruonce of the ox- fsting stato of affairs, but #o small an amount a8 hordly worthy of mention, In his opinion, if tho country manages to revive within a woek or thereabouts, the manufacturing interests will not bo sorionsly affectod ; but if it continues for twonty or thirty days longor, at any rato the in- dustry his company I8 ongaged in will bo greatl; dnm:{;cd, 08, \EV t{mt fil%lfl? almost all mr‘zruui having Insido finishing to bo dotic in their houses will postpone their ordors for material until noxt spring, Up to this dato, lho{ have managed to keop all thoir hands ump\oym ON IALF-TIME, and will endenvor to continue sojdoing, although orders now arriving do not warrant tho manufac- turo of stook for future consumption, A ques- tion with some manufacturers just mow is,. whothor they will dischargo somo or all of tholr mon, or lesson tho time of employmont, a reduc- tion of wages being tho last resort, which ling only been uvaited of hitherto in one or two cnsos. Tho system of working six half days in tho weok ia Lolng carried on by the Goss & Phillips Manu- facturing Compauy, and is found to bo the best thing that could bo done undor tho circumstances. Avalling himsolf of Mr. Jonke' invitation, ihe reportor accompanied that gentlomanin a buggy- rido smong somo of tho chief mauufactories in tho vieinity. Tho sash and blind factory, of Fullam & Co., ot tho comer of Lumber and West Twolfth streats, was next ronched, whero Timothy 8. Ful- lam was interviowed, ho stating that ho hag PLENTY OF WONR ON HAND, and comnquuutl{ has not been obliged to make any change in his ataff of employes, oxcept to incroaso it within tho Inst fow days. Ho stated ihat at tho time tho panio occurred, business was in n vory flourishing condition. The question of continuing or atnppinF worl, ho held, hung upon the qlllmsllun of liow tho collections wero made. Although trouble in that lino was at present oxporienced, ho considered tho general focling among manufacturors to bo very lmre- ful. ‘The applications lio had within tho last fow days to umI‘urln!m fresh work, had induced him to think that tho peoplo outside were not so frightoned ot tho pokition as was generally sup- osed, 5 At tho lumbor factory of T. W. Harvoy, at the corner of Morgan and Twenty-sccond Btreets, Mr. Rush, » membeor of the firm, was found. Ho did not inke so sanguiuo a view of tho ag- pect of affairs aa tho gentloman lnst visited, al- though his conversation betokenod anything but a vory grave anticipation of trouble, Oncof the greatest troublos uudoer which the manufac- turors labored was the receipt in payment for their wares, of 83 per cont thorcof in checks which, on presentation at the banks, wero de~ clared to bo porfectly good, but for which the monoy oannot bo obtained. Ho found ORDERS HTILL COMING IN FAST, but, s might bo expected, much groator dis- crimiuntion was roquired in filling them then in times of commercial peace and plenty. In their fnctory thoy had roduced the numbor of em- ployes, and wero reducing tho shipmenée. In reply to a deflnito question aa to Low tlte poy- ments woro “m““{ coming in, Mr. Rush was abliged to own that thoy wero doing so vory slow- Jy,—8o_slowly, in Tnct, that, unlees an Imiprovo: mient is eoon felt, thoy will hayvo to shut off all ordors for tho future, The firm do o groat denk of businoss with Tastorn citios, and, when troublo firat began, thoy considored that, how- evor cramped resources might bo in tho West, their Eastern customers would moke up for their doflciencics ; strange to sy, howover, oxactly tho revorse has 'i’x:umd to bho tho case; while thoir ocustomers the West aro making poyments in o mounor that could hardly be ex- ectod from them under existing circumstances, hiose in the Enst arc uniformly behindhand. Notwithstanding tho mony troubles MMr, Ruash complained of, he stated it as his beliof that tho troublo which began so suddenly will wonr away gradually, and leave Chicago mauu- facturing industries a8 atrong as ovor. A visit to tho Gardon City Manufacturing and E’:Ipply Company, of which no less a persouage thon TIE GERMAN DICTATOR, is Presidont, was rewardod with an intorview with the Beerotary of the Cumpnu{, T. Gus- torft. This gontloman stated that, in view of nxlanni: ciroumstaacos, the Company lhad do- cided fo_ open for worlk only every sccond day, and would continue soto do for tho next fow dnys, Ho found that tho prospoots of the trada were Lrightening o little, but the Company’s customers complain that their monoy is locked up in banks, ", Gustorfl’s confldenco in tho Wost gonorally, and in Chiengo's manufacturos, to wonther mafely Kthe storm, romnined unshaken, and ho predicted that within & woek or ton days currency would flood from its mony hiding-places into tho city and et a-going main- 15, not only the manufacturos, but also all othor branches of tha city's industry, In the mean- timo, o thought tho banks ought to manago to squooze out all tho dlucm.iutu thoy could snfaly manage, an opinion which provails very geu- crally in the clty. In's call upon TUE OHICAGO STOVE WORRS, on Blue Island avenue, noar Twonty-scond street, the reporter met a.m, Bonl, tho proprie- tor, who statod that tho effoct of tho panio was folt immodiatoly it arose, their ordors from that timo declining steadily, tho diminution boing more marked in the city than in the couuzri,'. o at onco sct to work to take in sail, called tho travelers who woro out pushing snles, look- od mora closely at tho charactor of oustomors, aud reduced tho numbor of omployes, Br, Boal thought that tho trouble would not prove to bo lusting, but that there wonld yot be good bueiness done in hisline this fall, One good of- foot of tho panic was observablo, in that the city rotail morchants woro boginning fo both buy and sell moro carofully then the lave hithorto been doing, = The stock of stoves held l;{ tho rotail mon was light, ns thoy huvo beon all fall hanging off for concos- sfous in prices, which wero not grauted, This ciroumstanco alone will iave a tondoncy to make up for whatover harm tho futuro trade in this line of business moay euffor from tho stringency of the monoy market. TIHE BRIDGE AND CAN-IUILDING firm of Wolls, Fronch & Co. woro next visited, Mr. Wolls, the aonior partnor of tho firm, stated thot thoy had so much work on land thiat thoy could not got through with it Lofore New Year's. 1o consldored that the effect of tho presont panio would bo folt by tho mounfuotur- e for somo timo to” como. ~Io did not think that any of tho rallway com- panos wonld venture on auy improvement for Six montbs to come, 1o cousidored thnt the unusual activity provailing in the lumber busi- noss was causod by the low prico which lumbor uow commands, ruthor than from a noturally sriging demund. At tho establishmont of Palmer, Fuller & Co., at tho cornor of Union aud Tiwonty-scon sirooty, whove the making of sushos, otc,, is car~ riod on, tho roporter had an interview with Mr. W, A, Fullor, who atated that tho factory i sunnivg slong overy day, but that ordors had do- creasod stoadily since the {:l\lliu begau, With the Ereumx: prospoct in view thora was uot.l.\\ug] todo ut to go on with a reduced force of employos.

BMr, Fullor thought much of the tardincss of Pnymunth country customors was caused by lioir koeping thelr eurroncy at home to lLolster up their local bauks, rathor than gemdl it cily- wards to liquidate tioir dobte, In support of iy theory, ho handed the reporter n speclmen manifesto, which showed that, in times of trouble, thoro are foola in littlo villages as well a8 in ]‘"fi"’ cities, Tho document, which ap- ponrs bolow, is_signod by no loss than ffly- cight Bloomflelders Ler Us BTAND DY .oUn Hose DANKS,—DLoOM- vIELD, Sopt, 20, 1873.—1t view of tho genoral suspen- slon of tho banks in all ports of tho country, and the couscquent disposition to distrust ull Lauks, wo take Plessure fu aaying tlat vo lave ontiro confidenco i o soundnesa of our homo banks, and in thelr dise ponition to pny all dehta nnd meet all busiucss obligas tions in tholr regular course of busincss, ond wo pledgo ouraelves to continuc to give our confidence, i horetofore, and to stand by them, and to deposlt i} ‘monoy wo eah with them, mid to draw out ouly just stich suma ag are absolutely necessary in our busiices, until sucl timo na publicconfidenco iu onr large cltles, and other portions of tho country, is rostored, In anawor to o question ns to the oxtent to which thoy hnd bean obliged to curtail thoir op- orations, Mr, Fullor siated that they hnd roduced their employes' wages 10 por cent, and had dig- chnrgod pil of their dockmon and some of thoir insido men, A vislt to tho iron works of N. 8. Bouton & Co. was not rowarded with an intorview with a membor of the firm, but the fact was clicitod thnt tho firm bavoe decided to reduco {o-duy tho number of their workmen. 3 CHIOAGO ROLLING-MILLS, A Tripug reportor, gaided by tho grent vol- ume of emoko Issuing from the chimnoys of the Chicago Rolling-Mills, a good omen that all was right up there, visited_that immenso establish- ment_last evening.

Reportor—When did you stop work on steol ? Mr. Parks—Wo finislied » largo order Woednes- day night, and then concluded to hold off from Lo fact that thore was no pushing domandmfogm—m other steel ordors. Roportor—Did yon discharge nng omployes ? My, Parke—Wo hnvo not discharged any of our hands. In an_ostablishmont like this, that employs 1,500 hands, there are men coming and going nll tho time. In such cases, men wha Sork * their notico™ aro paid,.snd then thoy o ertor—Tr loyed i eportor—Ifow many mon are employed is tho skool dopartment # 4 Mr. Parka—About 125.

Parke—Thoy aro not all working at pres- oent, nnd, of course, do not receivo pay for the timo whon not empl oflcd; but they do unot com: plain, from tho fact that they expect to bo callo to work ot any time.

Fir, Parks—If tho roports wa got through the papors are true, it will not affect usat all, ~ Thus for all has gono well with us, and it is our opin. ion that it will continue so. Aftor tho intorview with tho Suprintendont, tho reporter visited the working department o the employes, ‘Thoy expressod no foars what- over forthe near future. All wor in good humor, and said thoy had no doubt on the 15th of the prosent monh they would bo paid. A fow woro soen who woro connocted with tho steel do- partmont, and who waro just now idlo. Thoy said it was no uso to malko any fuss; thoy must do tho bost they could. When'nsked if thoy ex- nected to bo employed soon, thoy replied thay did. 'There is no complainé among the hands ot tho Chicago Planing-Mills. Everything is al Tight. ANOTHER DISTRICT VISITED, In tho manufacturiug distriet botweon Ran- dolph and Kinzio streots, nnd Desplaines Atreet and the river, where some of our largost worke are located, and whero, from the lines soveral aro onfinfiod in (chiofly agricultural), tho ro ‘mr:nr ad oxpected to find silonco and desoln- tion, thoro was ns much business as over, It iy impossiblo to imagine anything moro active, ntorviows with tho mauufacturers, or tholr chief mon, were nearly all productive of the snmo rosult: *¢Businoss good, but showing a slight falling off as comparod with anto-pauia days; and monoy comiug in all the timo; not sa fost as it was, but still fast enough to onablo us to pay our mon.” Tho reporter could not hear of any large ra- dnction of hands, or timo, or wagos in this dis- trict. Undoubtedly thore may be, s n singla individual conld not bo expected to visit all tho works contained in 8o wido o territory as he had to travol over in ono day; but if thore are, tha number and offect must bo inconsldorable, they aro go difiicult to find out. — THE RAILROADS, A TnnoNe roportor visited the treasury do partment of tho Chicago & Northwestern Rail- way Company, yestordsy morning, and inquired whether it was o fact that tho mon nd not beou paid thelr August and Boptembor wages, and whothor the vorsion of tho affair, as published by that morning's TnIDUNE, was correct, of otherwiso. From tho statomont mado by the officers, it appoars that thoro was not & genoral turn out of thoe artisans cmployed by the Coms peny, but machiuists only,—a mere handrull out of tho army of 10,000 men who rocoive pay ovory month, The pay-roll is mado out monthly, and pay begine on tho 16th, or thoreabouts, tho Paymastor's car starting onitslong journoy over tho Company's lines o8 near that date a8 possi- Dlo, roturning to Chieago townrds tho ond of tho month, Thus, it wonld have boon nothing un- nsusl it the August pay in Ohicago had not boen distributed until the end of tho month.
