Last Monday they showed & specie fund of $22,793,590, an increase of $683,- 362 over the week previous; since then they have lostsomething to the South, and have received about a# moch from the near by cities, The only loss by export that will tell against the average has, een | that of October 27—$347,939. It must ‘ye expected, if she usual course of trade be N.yg interrupted, that the cotton crop. Atthis time of year sight ex- change on New York generally sella at New Or- leans at } a discount; at our latest dates the rate was only 3 & | discount, at which figures it will not pay to ship gold to the South. Should the South- ern banks and bankers persevere in withholding cotton bills, as they appear to be doing at present, the usual Southera drain of specie from the North will be checked, and our banks will ac- cumulste coin even faster than was anticipated. The Sub-Treasury balance continues to increase, owing te payments om account of the loan. It stood yesterday at $5,639,358, against $1,887,003 at the close ef last week, and $4,563,407 at the cor-es- ponding date last year. Adding the Sub-Treasury balence to the specie reserve in the banks, it ap- pears that there is at present about $29,000,000 in specie in the city, against abOat 26,750,000 at the corresponding date last year. It is generally expected that the banks may show an increase of loans to-morrow. Their last ave- rage was $123,362,626, am increase of $1,459,124 from the week previous. At the correspoeding date last year the banks had loaned $120,118 037. The curtailment which commenced early in August seems to have reached its Hmit; both the specie and the deposits are increasing, and it is not unreasonably presumed that the banks will avail themselves of the opportunity to earn dividends. Much, of course, will depend on the movement of pofitics, Should any outbreak take place at the South, interfering with the ordinary course of trade, and impeding the collection of debts dne to the North, the banks will owe it to themseives to pur- sue a strictly conservative course. They would fee] a crisis more severely than any other interest. They would be the first to suffer if confidence were rudely shaken, and if the large debt now due by Southern to Northern houses were not collected, the bulk of the loss would fall on them. They will doubtless keep the contingency ever in view, and so direct their course as to suffer as little as possi- ble, whatever happens, Money closed yesterday with a more lively de- mand than had been noticed for some time. Lenders got 64 a 7 for call loans; short paper, how- ever good, would not pass under 64 a7, and long paper was hard of sale at7a8. The advance in the market is due to the uneasiness now prevailing in many minds with regard to the future. Should Lincoln be elected, no man can tell what shape the indignation and the apprehensions of the South may take, and the commonest prudence suggests that while the danger lasts there should be no ex- pansion of credit. In the event of an outbreak at the South, and the stoppage of the cotton supply, nothing could save our mercantile community from a terrible panic, or from losses which in many cases would probably be fatal. These are not times to trust to credit or to rely upon precedent. Many houses which weathered successfally the storms of 1837 and 1857 would go down like chaff before the first breath of a Southern insurrection and civil war, The foreign exchange market was dull all last ecie will soon begin to flow Southward to move | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1860. worth of property, the burning of th. nouses, la butchering of their men, Sod the rape of their wives and daughters by infuriated ne- groes. This is the way they look at the question; and from this point of view, it is perfectly natural that the non-slaveholding whites of the South should be just as vehement in their hostility to submission as the slave owners themselves. Hence the chance that, after some | weeks of excitement, fanned by the fiery appeals of disunionists and orators, the people of the Gulf Btates may, before Lincoln's inauguration, solemnly decide to separate from a Union in which they find no securi'y for their property, their lives and their homes. Tn the event of secession and civil war, the trade of this country next year would be totally ruined. Even if the Southern people, when summoned to vote on the question of secession, should decide to abide by the Union for the present, the injury done to commerce during the interval of suspense would be scarcely less severe. That interval would be one of uneasiness, distrust and panic; no man could trust his neighbor; noone wonld buy bills matur- ing after the period at which disunion might occur; no enterprises of any kind would be prosecuted for fear ¢f the future; every one would try to get gold to heard it; all would be uncertainty and al andthe whole machinery of commerce would be stepped. That this is no exaggerated picture, the course of the Southern banks within the past ten days #Yords conclusive evidence. This ii the season of the year at which these banks earn their divi- vends. From now till February 1 they make so much money by moving the cotton that they can afford to leave their funds here all summer at 4 per cent, and still divide 7 or 8 per annum on their capital. Yet within the past fortnight a large pro- portion of the banks in the Gulf States have re- fused to do business at all. They are the first suf- ferers by this policy, as their means lie idle. They are damaging the value of their own assets, for such a stoppage to commerce as they are causing depreciates all kinds of paper. They see clearly tha: if the worst comes their failure will inaugurate the crash. Yet such is the intensity of the alarm, week, but at the close some of the leading bankers / advanced their rates. At the closing of yester- day's mail the principal drawers were asking 1084 44 for sterling, and 5.17} for francs; we hear, how- ever, of no transactions above 108} for sterling, and few in francs above 5.18}. The supply of cot- ton bills continues scant, and had the Saturday steamer been a favorite packet, drawers would pro- bably have been enabled to advance rates sub- stantially. Some produce bills are offered at 107 a}. The downward course of foreign exchange appears to have been checked for the present by the diminution in the supply of cotton bills from the South. If anything should occur to deprive this mar- ket of its usual winter supply of Southern bills, ex- change on Europe, instead of falling, as was not long ago expected, to the point at which New York could import specie from London, would rise again, and we might witness the singular anomaly of heavy specie shigments in December and Jann- ary. This will depend upon the issue of the pend- ing political struggle. The course which is now being pursued by the Southern banks, if persevered in after the election of Lincoln, as it probably will be, cannot but tend directly to prevent remittances of cotton bills North. The following table will show the movement of | the stock market during the past week and month: Oct 6. Oct 13 bs 20. by 27.

There was very little outside business, and the buy- ing and selling were mostly confined to the jobbers of the Stock Exchange. State stocks declined two a tiree per cen’, and the decline would have been | heavier had the offerings of stock been larger. The speculative railway stocks were maintained by the demand arising from the bears. The question of most interest at present, in view of the probable election of Mr. Lincoln, is: What will the Southern States do in that contingency, and how will their action affect stocks and Gnancial interests generally? Fromf{the pest information that can be obtained, it seems beyond question that the South will not submit quietly to the ele>otion of a sectional Presi- dent. ‘There are, in every Southern State, a large number of conservative men who would like to see the Union preserved, and wh» will suffer by its dissolution. But even these men are perceiving that the republican party is in its nature progres- tive, and that, ifit wins a victory now on the ground of opposing the extension of slavery, it will seek a fresh victory in 1864, on the abolitiowof sla- very in the District of Columbia, or the abolition of the internal slave trade, or on some other theory equally repugnant and injurious to the South. Therefore those conservative men, or a large pro- portion of them, are preparing to meet the dffical- ty in ne, and at least for the present to take sides with the extreme Southern leaders, who, do not conceal their belief that the South would be safer, richer and stronger as @ separate na- Yon an as part of the present confederacy er republican President. The first action { Hie Southern States, in the event of Mr. Lincoln's election, would probably be to take the sense of their people by popular vote on the question of se- cession. In some of the cotton States provision has alresdy been made for this contingency; in others the Legislatures would be convened ex: | tra session, and the necessary acts passed, It is possible that, when the question was squarely put to the Southern people whether or no they would remain in the Union, most or all of them would vote to wait for an overt act before seceding. Bat it is quite likely that they might decide the other way. All the influential politicians of the Gulf States have declared for secession in the event of Lin- coln's election; and no mistake is greater than to imagine that these men misrepresent their con- stituencies. People in the North have no idea of the intensity of the excitement prevailing among the Sonthern masses on this question. To them it is a question of property and of life. Abolition, or anything like it—and you never can convince Southerners that republicans are not abolitionists at heart—means to them the loss of $%,000,000,000 such the heat of the excitement prevailing South, that, with this prospect and at this cost, the Southern banks are actually refusing to buy cotton bills. If they do this now, what will they do if Lincoln should be elected? There are those who say that trouble arising from political movements would not affect North- ern propeaty. This is afallacy. All kinds of values, with the exception of specie itself, rise and fall with the fluctuations of confidence. Destroy con- fidence, and all values decline instantly. For com- mercial and practical purposes intrinsic values are seldom worth consideration. Now, if the general commerce of this country should be disturbed by an insurrection of the South against the general government, or even the prospect of an insurrec- tion, it needs no demonstration to prove that con- fidence will disappear and that value will decline accordingly. Properties may remain as intrinsi cally valuable as ever, but people will not give as much for them, and to the owner who wants to use them they will not be worth as much. In the crisis of 1857, bank stocks, first class State stocks and New York Central were as good as they had ever been; yet they fell to the neighborhood of fifty cents on the dollar. The fall would be more severe, more lasting and more sweeping in its effects, if the crisis arose from a severance of the Union and the beginning of a state of civil war, of which no one could foresee the end Some of the traffic returns from the railways for the month of October have come to hand, and we subjoin them in tabular form:— Railroads Oct . 1 Oct , 1800.
