In commercial firms, among partmers engag+d in mercantile business, we have frequuatly re- corded the grossest swindling operations practised by one member, which for a Jong time were unkoown to the others, Individuals have main- tained a high sredit for years after they have been hopelessly insolvent. There are at tais moment ia this eity hundreds of mercantile houses, the membe:s of which do not know whether their affairs are sound aad solvent, or whether they are bankrupt; aud there are many others who believe themselves wealthy, but who, fa fact, could not wind up their business and pay fitty oenta op the dollar of their indebtedness. All engaged in financial and commercial pursuits knew that dangers beset them on every side, and that itis impessible to tell when some- thing may net ccvur to destroy the bost laid plans, and rain away the product of a long period of indui- tiy. Tt appears to be ® principle pretty goner- ally acted upon, to keep what you have got, and get what you can, aud to amass wealth, honestly if you can but at all events, make a fortune, with the idea that the end sanctifies the moans, The banks practice ‘upon this principle extensively. The rapid increase of these conceras in this city, inthe face of a rapid acou- mulation of private capital in the haads of private bank- ers, has created a rivalry and eompotition which som pels them to resort to operations attended with great danger. Instea of discounting the best business paper in the market, they loan upon all sorta of fancy stocks, and their best customers now are the brokera and speca- lators of Wall street, instead of the heaviest and wealth- jest commercial houses of the city. It is this change in the aystem of doing business, in connectioa with the ne- cesnity of paying large dividends on enormous capitals, which has led to the defaleatioas alluded to @ few days since. There wre now in thia city fifty-five banks, with ap aggregate capital of $40,573,542. Five years since there were less than half the number, witie haif the capi- tal. olfering is not envogh to sustain all tiese institutions, and ihe oontest for the custom of atock speculators has therefore been very great, Those who have got the most of it have made rather elim profite so far, and the pros- pects are by no means very dattering.
