FINANCIAL AND CG MONEY MARKET. Tavurspay, August i—6 P. M. The stock market opened active this morning, bat prices were very much unsettled. The transactions, as usual, were almost entirely on time. At the first Board, Canton Company advanced } per cent: Erie, 4; Reading, }; Panama, }; Ilinois Cen'ral, 4. Illi nois Central bonds declined j per cent; Delaware and Hudson, j; Michigan Central. 4; Michigan Southern, 3; Cleveland, Columbus and Cincianati Railroad, }; Cleveland and Toledo, }; There were larger sales than usual of New York Central Ruil- road, without change in prices. Nearly tive thous and shares of Erie were sold at the first board. Reading was aiso active. The Western rail- road stocks were not so well maintained. At the second board there was a very large busivess transacted. Erie and Reading were the most promi- nent stocks operated in, and they both improved oa the opening. Sellers were plenty, and put out con- tracts freely at the improvement. Erie advanced 1 per cent; Cleve'and and Toledo, }; New York Cen- tral, }; Panama, |; Reading, 14. After the board the market became heavy, and lower prices were accepted. Erie closed at 59} a 59) per cent; Reading at 86j. This improvement in prices we look wpom as merely a temporary af- fair, ‘Tt is a nataral reaction aftor such a severe decline, and the only advantage trom it will recult to sellers. Tt will give a fine opporta- nity for the bears to pnt ont new contracts at higher rates. Nearly all the operations tais afternoon at the advance were intime. Of the large salez of Erie ouly 300 shares were for cash, and of Reading only 200 ehares for cash, and in each case at the lowest prices. It may be easy enough to put up prices by bidding higher for time purchases; but it does not look as thongh there was much backbone in specu- lators who operated in that way. After the adjournment of the Board the following s#les of bonds and stocks were madeat auction by Albert H. Nicolay :— 008 1.

The a amount of specie in the banks at the pony of last week, and the movements of specie this week — partly estimated—present the follo ving results: - Reported in the banks Saturday, Aug 9 ’ Received by etcamebip Arie!

E-timated iment by Avanti’ on Saturday " « 900,000— 1,344,000 Estimated bank balance Angust 16 $12,896,000 according to this the banks will show a decrease this week of about four handred thousand dol- jars, in the face of an arrival from California of one and a haif miliion. There will not be another remittance from California under two weeka, and the bank returns for the next two weeks will be, so far as the specie department is concerned, without addi. tional supplies. We therefore have tro weeks’ shipment and two weeks’ payment in the Custom Hovse to come out of the above aggregate of $12,596,603. Estimating the exportation at $1,000,000 per week, and the payments into the Custom House at $500,000 per week, over and above disburse. ments, and we have an aggregate drain of $3,000,000 in that time to come out of the above $12,896,603. This wonld reduce the aggregate to 9 tm less than ten millions of dollars. Making al- ‘cwances for contingencies, we can safely calculate , on a decrease in the next two weeks of two mil lions of dollars in the epecie reserve that the banks will exhibit on Saturday next. Independent of this severe decrease in specie, We mnst fook to the de. posite. The active demand for money in the street, and the advancing rates of interest, will draw dowu!| bank balances, and we muet be prepared for an jus} portant decrease in the deposits, Tuis will otizes| the discount liae full o6 much as a reduction in the| specie reserve; and between the two we do not see! how the hank cau avoid a rapid and severe Contrag- tion of leans. The Assistant Treasurer reports, to-day, as fol- lows :— Paid on Treasury sg Received =‘ Ba‘ance & Paid for Assay office.

The ‘ :nishiag’’ parcels were bought yevterday at $1 16. We expect to gee wheat go down to @ point considerably beiow that ‘igure in the next two weeks, owing to the catire abecnve of a demand to keep up prices, As we anticipated, the po of wheat bas reached about the Scure of last year, to the seweda.e, Thecom- parison, ip reund numbers, {is as tollows:— 1865. 1856. Flour, bbie.. : 90,000- Wheat, bushels. 900,000 908,000 In the carly part of the season this was pot anticipated = ‘but the month of July, just past, was so far in excess of last scason—being 224,000 bushels against 31,000 for last year—that the deticit of the first of ins wate has been made up within a fraction. This unexpected amount of shipments will give us a fair start for the fall trade in the incoming crop. Many of our best informed dealers are of the opinion that the pore ne of the a+ of 1856 to go for ward before the close of navigation, will considerably exvee.i that of 1855, and that our ebipmeuts of wheat this year will connaeey: exceed there of the former season, We hardly this result, though we should by no means be sed to see it, from the reports we hear of the abundance of the harvest.
