OPERATIONS AT HATTERAS INLET. OUR HATTERAS INLET CORRESPONDENCE. Four Cuarx, Harrmras Inurr, N, C., Sopt. 12, 1861.

Your Fortress Monroe correspondent left Old Point Comfort in the steamer S. R, Spaulding, Capt. Howes, which had been chartered by the government to carry reinforcements to our posts at this point, on Tuosday ‘evening last, at ton o'clock, and entered tho inlet at one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, Our passage down Was marked by nothing worthy of montion. The weather was delightful and the sea quite smooth—a fact to which many owo their escape from the terrible mat de mer, although the crowded state of the ship and tthe impure atmosphere between decks naturally tended to @ great oxtent to produce it. We passed Body's Island, near Oregon Inlet, and discovered that the rebols had blown up or in some other manner utterly destroyed ho lighthouse at that point. A number of horsemen were ‘seen on the beach near it, and wore undoubtedly destroy- ing the residue of government property in the vicinity. ‘The lighthouso was’ built in 1847, and rebuilt In 1859. It ‘was well constructed of stone, nearly seventy-five feet in. Loight, supporting a rovolving light of the third order, visible fiftoon miles distant. It was extinguished somo months since by the rebols,and on tho capture of the forts at this inlot they took immodiate measures to destroy it, which they did on Monday or Tuesday last. The rebels havo evacuated thoir fort at Oregon Inlet, after spiking the guns and making tho Position as useless to us as they were able, About @ wook ago a crack rogimont of Georgia riflemen ‘wore sent down to that position, but refused tostay there, for fear of a visit from our fleet, which they have good reason to dread, and a forced visit to their friends at Bedloo's Island or Fort Lafayette. Fear lent wings to thelr fect, and they fled to the arms of their friends on the mainland in a most hurried and undignifed manner. ‘The rebels have deserted their fort at Ocracoke Inlet, as I have before informed you, leaving their guns there spiked, of course, At Roanoke Island, which controls the channels between Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, the rebels have one strong fort completed at the northern end Of the island and a second one in process of erection at the southerly end. They are there in force, and are working day and night to put themselves in the bost pos- sible position of defence. The importance of this position ‘will be readily seen by a glanoe at the Heratp's map of Sunday last. In our hands once, wo could effectually close tho last avenue of internal water communication between tho Northern rebellious States and those South. Our pos- seision of Oregon, Hatteras and Ocracoke Iulcts, with- Out efficient light dranght gunboats to cruiso in the sounds, will help us very little in cutting off the in ternal cominerce of the seaboard States; but with Roan” ‘oke Island in our hands, we can effectually break it up’ and also all communication with the outside world. ‘Tho sooner this is done the better. But to return to the steamer Spaulding, as she enters the tortuous channel that ryns through the foaming breakers to the inlet proper. In coming to anchor astern ‘of the Pawnee gunboat that now lias near Fort Hatteras, Captain Taylor, the Commissary at Fortress Monroe, Jando: on the beach, with your correspondent, and pro: ‘cooded over a narrow causeway, built of turf and sand, leadivg to the fort. We found Colonel Weber and his command in most excellent hoaith, but not at all re. luctant to return with his command’ to Fortress Monroe, in obedience to orders brought by Captain Taylor from General Wool. Fort Hatteras appears to be very strongly constructed ‘and well laid out. All the guns are in good order, and, with the best of ammunition sont for them,’ they can bo made very effuctive in defence. ‘The ten- fnch columbiad rocoived from Richmond a little be- fore the surrender will bo mounted in a day or two on a circular traverse, in a position to cover the approaches at every point. With other guns, which we shall soon have,some riflod and of immense Tange, we can bid defiance te tho rebels, Fort Hat teras will be garrisoned in part by Captain Morris and Lioutenant Hooks’ company from the Third artillery, and by a detachment from Hawkins’ Zouaves. Other rein- forcements will be hero in a day or two, and we expect to see Brigudier General Reynolds, of tho Second artillery, with them, to take command of ‘this department. With more troops aud an able, experienced and high-toned go neral to lead them, we may expect an aggressive move. mont from this point in a short timo. While we were passing into the inlet, on the Spaulding, we mot the Fanny and the tugboat Tompost, towing out two fine schooners, On inquiry we ascertained them to bo a couple of prizes captured the day previous in the very inlet itself. The mode of capture of one of the schooners by our force was quite novel. On the morning Of the 9th two schooners were discovered coming towards the mouth of tho inlet, after having beon allowed to @roape, undoubtedly intentionally by our blockading ips. Pawnee lay inside, fying no flag, and no colors , wore visible on the forts; and when tho Fanny, under command of Lieutenant Crosby, ran out, on approach. ing tho schooners, Lieutenant Crosby was hailed, and Foquested to senda pilot to them or tow them.’ The Lieutenant gracefully offered to tow them in, and did so, ‘and it was ‘not until ho had boarded the schooners and informed them that they were prizes to him, that they hhad the least iden of the change of affairs here. Th surprise, when everything had been futly ex; them, may be imagined. They had flattered themselves that every danger had been passed, and chuckied #ver the idea of how they had fooled the smart Yankces. Both schooners were from St. Martins, W. I., with mo- lasses and salt; one, the Ocean Wave, of Washington, N. C.; the other thé/Mary Wood, of Edenton, N.C. the captains had fally committed themselves, and ox- pressed their loyalty te the Confederate States, A third Schooner, the Susan Jane, of Plymouth, came in sight, and stood on and off, and’ acted as though it was doubt: ful as to the propriety of venturing in. This went on for awhile, when the Fanny, with Liouten- ant Crosby and Colona Hawkins on board, Tan out and stood towards her; whereupon tho schooner stood to sea, the Fanny giving chase, and rapidly nearing . After little the Fanny fired & shotat her, but it fell short, and the schooner paid no attention to it. Then, ‘on suggestion of Colonel Hawkins, a rebel flag was manu: factured from tho Stars and Stripes and raisod on the Fanny. The schooner ran up in return the Palmetto flag of South Carolina, tacked and stood in; but soon after, mot liking the looks of aflairs, again stood away from the Fanny. Another shot was fired, which crossed tho Schooner’s bow. She then turned and came directly for the Fanny. Fearing she might be a privateer, both guna wore loaded and trailed to sweep her decks, The man on the lookout could disoover no guns, and only two or three men on board, She rau past within a few feot of the Fanny and then came to, when Lieutenant Crosby board- ed her with a guard. ‘Ry order of Lieutenant Crosby the schooner followed the Fanny into the in- fot. The Lieutenant, on asking the captain of the schooner, pointing to the Palmetto flag flying, (Is that your flag?” the latter replied, “Yea; that is the flag I live under, fight for, and will die under.’ The captain inquired of Liout. Crosby in regard to the health of Capt. Caloun and Lieut. Sharp, both rebel officers, and Liout. Crosby was obliged to say he had not seen them, The captain was at this time wholly upsuspicious, and re- lated to Crosby how he had got the better of the d—d ‘Yankee cruisers. ‘They could not fool him; oh, no! he was too old for them,” &. On getting in Lieut. Crosby said to him, “Let me give you some news. On the 28th the United States forces came here, took your first fort, and on the 29th took your other fort, Commodore Barron’ &c., and seven hundred and odd prisonors, That is un- der tho United States flag; that ship is the United States gunboat awnce; I am a United States officer; you are my prisoner and this schooner my prize.” Tho captain was thonderstruck, and almost fe from fear. And wheu the Lieutenant’said, in the coolest possible manner, “It's all right, captain, aint is’ he had not a word to say, but proceeded to get very drunk, and to keep in that condi- tion some time, The schooner had a load of salt and mo: lasses. On the 10th a schooner came towards the inlet fying an English flag, and thereupon tho Stars and Bars wore hoisted on Fort Clark. This was no sooner seen than the schooner ran right into the inlet, and did not discover how matters stood bofere Lientenant Crosby was on board. At his request the eis hoisted tho right fag— i. ¢. Confederate—and, after he wlmitted his nauonality, te was taken a prize. Sho was from Halifax, Nova Scotia, cleared for the West Indies, and bad a valdutae cargo of assorted army supplies. Among the articles found wore clothing, shoes, provisions, do. Her cargo is worth $40,000. Tho « 2 aud CWO BUpercargoes Were put on Doard the Pawnee, where they now are.

The operation of ‘the eMictent blockade’ bas been very: _ Well illustrated here, not only by the stoppage of outward Vound privateers and tradors, but still better today by ‘the capture of three schooners, owned in Morth Carolina, which wore returning from the Wost Indice. The first, the Mary Wood, of Edenton, ran down Trom Cape Hatteras soon after daylight, and came in alongside of the Pawnco before the colors were hoisted. Lieutenant Crosby boarded hor and was met by her skipper with the remark “All right, 1 supposet” “Oh yes! all right!” ‘Glad of tha id tho skipper, “for T wa: afraid the Northerners wo P a | il come down here.’, NEW YORK HERALD, ‘Why some have,’ answered tho Lieutenant, “and you are a prisoner and your vessel a prize.”” The second, the Ocean Wave, ran in in the samo man- nor, and was as easily possessed, the skipper thinking he had cleverly escaped the Cuinberland, which was in sight to leeward, Tho third schooner, tho Harriet Ryan, followed tho Ocean Wave closoly, but seemod to ‘smeil @ mice,” for after reaching tho breakers sho tacked and stood off shoro in full sail. Lieutenant Crosby wont out in the steamtug Fanny and oxtom- porized a rebel flag from a torn American en. sign found in the fort, This seemed to encourage the schooner, for she came round again and now ran up a flag—red, with a blue cross and a palmetto tree in tho union—under which her skipper exprossed, as well as his rum would permit, a determined intention to live and die, When under our guns this vessel attracted his attention: I should obseryo that neither this vessel nor the forts showed any colors. ‘What steamer is that?” “The Paw- nee.” “Why, she is a United States vessel; what is she doing herr’ “Why,” said Mr. Crosby, “the United States hive taken this place, and you aro a prisoner, and the Harriet Ryan a prize.” The ski»per wilted, with a faint declaration that he did not mean to do anything wrong. Tuo threo schooners are from St. Thomas, Guadaloupe, and Turks Island, and wore cleared from Northern ports. ‘They have valuable cazgoes of molasses, sugar, salt, coffee, Tum, and fruits, The Ocean Wave has a valuable supply of medical stores, quinine, castor oi!, tapioca, and brandy. They all sailod from this inlot in July last. So the “efficient blockade” works, and so it will work all along the coast if the government will continue tho plan so well begun. The present naval force is amply Suilicient to attack and possess all such points from Cape Henry to Florida, if the War Department will send troops to hold them after the ships drive out tho rebels. It has annoyed us not a little to see how little credit has been given to the navy for the capture of this place. Liout, Lowry, then First Lieutenant of the Pawnee, at Alexan- dria, called the attention of the department, in May last. to the importance of occupying this seund, und submitted 8 plan of operations, which was tardily and partially acted upon. ‘The best result of this movement has been tho hasty recall of the 10,000 North Carolina troops from Virginia— agreater loss than a pitche’ battle would have cost tho army at Manassas. Tho samo result would follow a de- monstration against South Carolina and Georgia. Had this been made two months since no Southern army would have threatened Washington, or trampled the soil of Vir- ginia, and the dread realities of war would havo been pre- sented in the homes of those who excited this contest. 10,000 men here would free North Carolina of secession which half her people still resist. We are informod of hundreds on the other side of l’amlico Sound who will join the old flag, if wo will but go over. The present naval force and 20,000 men of the army now at Washington would threaten Charleston and Savan- nah at the same time (they are but six hours apart), and would plant the Stars aud Stripes upon the ramparts of Fort Sumter, ‘Then secession would be but short lived. ‘The Pawnee is the only man-of-war here at present. ‘The other vessels of the squadron are between Hampton Roads and Savannah. ‘Tho garrisons remain unchangod; Golonel Hawkins commands at Fort Clark and Colonel Webor at Fort Hatteras. Surr. 10, 1861. Another Prize. ‘The Charles McClees, now called the “Susan Jane, of Novis, W. 1,’ ran in this morning, displaying tho English flag forward but having the rebel flag aft, all ready for use, Sho was dexterously cleared from Halifax for Tampico, but the captain said, when boar inside the bar, that he was from Newbern and bound there.

COLONKL SHALER. ‘Heapquanrens Finer UNrrap STATES CHARKKURS, Camp Apvaner, Sept. 11, 1861. Conon: Stevens, Assistant Adjutant Genoral, commanding detachment for special servico:— Sir—I have the honor to report that, in compliance with special ordors from hoadquarters, I reported: mysvlf at your quarters, with four companies of the First regi- ment United States Chasseurs, at a quarter of six o'clock this morning, and was placed by you in command of a re- serve, composed of the Soventy-ninth regiment ana four companies of the Chasscurs regiment. Shortly after- wards this reserve was reported to General Smith, at his headquarters, and assigned a position in tho column to be moved toward Lewinsville. On arriving there we took up @ position and threw out pickets under your direction. At two o'clock P. M., on the recall being sounded, our pickets retired and were formed in line. The battalion of Chasseurs and Seventy-ninth wore counter marched by the right flank, on the ground thoy respectivoly occupied, which brought the Soventy-ninth in the rear. Line of battle was formed, faced to the front, and while in this position, waiting for the column then in the rear, to movo forward to the right, a deadly fire of shell from the enemy's guns was opened’ upon us, the first bursting in the road, noar the right of tho line. This surprise created, as a matter of course, considerable excitement, but the cover fur- nished by the fence on the roadside and the coolly exer- cised authority of the company officers offectually pre- ed the men from becoming seriously alarmed, not- ithstanding a rapid fire was continued for half an hour bofore Griffin's battery could be got i position to bear on tho enemy. By your command the detachment was moved forward until they took position on a promi- nence on the left ef the road; and by your command the Seventy-ninth was detailed to protest them, while the battalion of Chasseurs was ordered to advance and pro- tect a section of Griffin's battery, which had taken position a little in advanco and on the right of the road. From this the battalion was ordered fur- ther down the road to protect another section, aid again, by General Smith’s command, moved on to the rear of # soction stationed at’ Langly’s tavern. The guns of the enemy having been silenced, we were directed to proceed homeward, which we did. We were joined at tho head- quarters of General Smith by the Seventy-ninth, and returned to quarters at about half-past five P.M. without the loss of a single min. The conduct of the offi- cers and men of the Seventy-ninth while under my com- mand was in tho highest degree praiseworthy. ‘They gave undoubted evidence of their bravery and resolute- nes Great credit is also due to the young and inexperienced officers and soldiers of the Chasswur battalion, Cansider- ing that this was the first fire to which they were ever exposed, their conduct was surprisingly cool ‘and delibo- rate. [commend them, therefvre, to your favorable no- tice in connection with the noble Highlanders, With high regard, &c., Ihave the honor to subscribe myself your very obedient servant. ALEXANDER SHALER, Lieut. Col. First regiment United States Chasseurs. Police Intelligences Hicnway Ronnery iv tie Boweny.—At an carly hour yesterday morning, as Mr. John Fallon, of Prince strect, was passing down the Bowery, he was atiacked by a couple of highwaymen, and robbed of a gold watch and chain, Tne cries of “murder,” “stop thief,”” soon brought roundaman Wood, of the Tenth precinct, to the spot, and, after # sinart chase, two men, namo James Roborts and Charles Jefferson, wete arrested on suspicion of being the robbers. The prisoners wero brought before Justice Brennan, at the Essex Market Polife Court, yesterday, and arraigned before the complainant, when Roberts was fully identitiod as having been one of the assailants. The evidence against Jefferson was very slight, however, and the magistrate discharged him. Scsrxcrep or Kitna Her Caup.—Mary Smith, residing at No. 555 First avenue, was taken into custody yester. day by policeman Coughlin, of the Twenty-first precinct, on charge of having suffocated her infant child. The complaint was mado by the husband of the paisoncr, who says that tho accused went to bed drunk, and carelessly slept upon tho child. Smith and his wife ha a row on Saturday pisht, ct whigh occasion the woman received a pair of black eyes. ‘The accused wan committed to await the action of Coroner Schirmer. It is not at all improbable that the caso will turn out to be one of an ao cidental nature, and that the mother will be discharged a re FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sunpay, Sept. 15, 1961 The course of trade at this port continues uni- form; we are buying one-third the usual amount of foreign goods, and we are selling as much produce as we did at this time last ycar—that is to say, twice our usual average. Of dry goods we only took last week $396,069, against two millions for each of the corresponding weeks of 1860 and 1859. At this rate it will be some time before exchange rises to a point which will endarger the specie of the country. Our importations forthe eight and a nalf montis of 1861, which have elapsed, are $80,000,000 leas than those of the corresponding pertod of 1860, and $90,000,000 less than those of the correspond- ing period of 1869. Our exports of produce and speoie together are only about $5,000,000 less than our total imports, and there is every reasou to believe that they will balance each other before the year is out. The new tariff does not encourage importations, while the short crops abroad insure a steady export of cereals and provisions. The following are the official tables of the trade of the port for the week and since January 1:— Iurorrs, Pov the week. a 1880 1861.

Last Monday the banks showed a specie average of $41,887,230, being a decrease of $3,210,883 from the week previous, and of about $5,000,000 in two weeks, Since then the banks have paid into the Sub-Treasury $3,600,000 on account of their subscription to the national loan, and a large pro- portion of the popular subscription—probably two and a half millions—has also come out of their vaults, Against this must be reckoned the Sub-Treasury disbursments, which have been heavy, and about $1,100,000 received on Friday from California. The prevailing impression among bank officers appears to be that to-morrow’s statement will show an ave- rage neighboring upon $37,000,000, A few months ago such an average as this would have been deemed monstrous. It is, in fact, nearly twice as much as the average which the most conservative of the bank managers deem ample, As, however, @ decline of seven to eight millions inthe bank reserve in three weeks may seem startling to some who are unfamiliar with the course of financial events, it may be as well to observe that the specie which has flowed out of the banks has flowed into the Sub-Treasury, from whence it is being disbursed at the rate of a million a day; that it has not left and will not leave the country, or even the city, and that as the war progresses the specie balance in New York will naturally fluctuate between the banks and the Sub-Treasury—some- times to the gain of the one, sometimes to that of the other. The remarkable success of the demand notes, and the evident willingness of the people to retain them in circulation, as the most convenient and safest currency they can get; will relieve the government from the necessity of keeping any large specie reserve anywhere for their redemp- tion, and will, as a matter of course, tend to drive the specie funds of the interior to the great cen- tres, of which New York is the chief. The bank loans last Monday stood at $139,158,230—a decrease of $1,923,244 from the previous week. The statement to be made to-morrow will show a fur: ther curtailment in this department. The banks have sold between seven and eight millions of their certificates for Treasury notes, and their discounts will appear proportionately reduced, They have also, during the past week, reduced very considera. bly their loans to the mercantile community. It will therefore be safe to look, to-morrow, for a ma” terial decline in the loans. Money is rather more active than it was. The banks have not yet begun to avail themselves of the loan certificates, which are to represent their loan to the government, in transactions at the Clearing House; hence they are somewhat dispos- ed to be less liberal than usual to the public until the Sub-Treasury disbursements restore to them the specie they have lost. This is evidently an affair of a very few days. There is far too much specie here and too little trading on credit for any advance in the price of money to be permanent. Meanwhile, we quote money abun- dant at 6 per cent on call; for first class short pa- per, 6 a7; longer date, 7; good paper, not strictly first class, 10 a 12 a 15. A rather unexpected advance in foreign ex- change took place on Friday. Bills which had been dull at 10734 suddenly became active at 108% a4. The event is generally ascribed to the remittance of Southern funds to Europe for safety. When the war broke out a large number of banks and rich men living South, remitted money to New York, through fears of the rebel. government. Of this money much has remained here throughout the troubles, subject to the check of its Southern own- ers. Latterly our District Attorney, United States Marshal and other officials have been suspected of a desire to give evidence of their patriotic zeal by seizing such Southern moneys as they could find; and for the protection of their friends, our bankers are believed to have remitted what South- ern balanes they had to England for safety. We do not care to descant upon the transac- tion, which is calculated to reflect anything bat credit upon our authorities. It is absurd to argue that the cause of the government can be as- sisted or that of the rebellion injured by seizures of private funds. The only effect of such mea-, sures is to impair public confidence in the mercan- .tile honor of New York bankers, and to set the rebels an example of spoliation. To seize even a million of dollars belonging to Southerners would not aid the Union cause, but it would injure the credit of New York very seriously, and would go far to justify Southern repudiation of fifty times the amount. We trust that, in sending their South- ern customers’ moncy abroad for safety, our bank- ers have deen acting upon a misapprehension of the real purposes of the District Attorney, and that the future administration of that official will show that his zeal in the good cause can find em- ployment in some nobler path than the spoliation of individual citizens of the South who have had faith enough in us to trust us with their money. The following table shows the course of the stock market during the past week and month:— Aug. 1. Aug. 24, Aug.31. Sept. 7. Sept. 14. - 43 425 433% * 429 41g 3% 35 Missouri 6's. 28 O35 + O45 Panama. Hudson Ri Pacific Mail. The general course of prices during the past week was upward, though the market fell off yes- terday. The amount of outside business on the Stock Exchange is still small, but it seems to be in- creasing. A better feeling has been oreated by the success of the Union party in Kentucky, and by the apparently successful progress of affairs in Virginia and Missouri. The market has likewise derived strength from the gradual re- covery of general busineas, which raises people’s spirits and emables them to look forward more hopefully to the future. So far as we can judge the bull and bear parties appear pretty evenly balanced in the board, though the latter are appa- rently more numerous among the Union operators of the street. The chief argument of the bears is that the Union cause is destined to meet with re- verses; they also rely to some extent upon sporadic fluctuations in the traffic of the Western railways and upon an advance in the value of money. The bulls appear to base their hopes upon the expan- sion which seems certain to ensue from the suc- cessful negotiation of one, two or three hundred millions of government paper. They say that there never was an instance where the volume of currency was suddenly increased to such an extent without a consequent advance in the price of commodities interchangeable for money, and a general expansion of commerce and credit. Many of our older finan- ciers are already drawing parallels between the expansion of 1833-6, that of 1860-6, and the one which they now foresee. The analogy between the three periods, though plausible, is not strictly perfect. When General Jackson removed the deposits from the old United States Bank to the State banks a rivalry ensued between the former and the latter, which led both to expand for the purpose of gaining popularity. The State banks expanded in order to retain the deposite; the United States Bank, in order to obtain a renewal of its charter. Both expansions were based upon an unsound foundation, and necessarily led to a disas- trous collapse. No such prospect darkens the horizon at present. The expansion which can hardly fail to follow the present issue of govern- ment paper’ is based unon"the soundest of all pos- sible foundations—the stability of the govern- ment and the resources of the nation at large. There can be no collayse unless the whole country is ruined~ and destroyed. So long as there is a nation left the Treasury notes which the government is now issuing must be good. Even if the present United States split up, either New England or the Central States or the Great West could take care of the whole debt of the confederacy, and either of the three would do 59 for the sake of its credit. This ia tak- Ang the worst possible view of the future. If, as We all believe, the government is destined to sup- press the rebellion, its obligations will be as valu- able after the war as United States bonds were before it commenced. There is, therefore, no re- semblance between the basis of the expansion of 1833-6 and that which is now commencing. In their effects they may resemble each other, aa both’ will be found to resemble, in this respect, the expansion which followed the exports of gold from California. In this particular the theory of expansions is extremely simple. Tho relation between money and commodities fluctuates as the supply of cither is increased or diminished. If @ bushel of wheat is Worth a dollar whem there are a million bushels in market, it will be-worth so much less when there are two million bushels, and 80 much more when there are only half a million. Just so, when the supply of money, or currency, or circulating notes is increased, the money value ofall articles which are convertible into money must increase, and the spectacle of that increase, going on from day to day under men's eyes, must lead to enterprise and speculation. In 1833-6 the general bank expansion largely increased the amount of currency throughout the country, and all kinds of merchandise, real estate and other property rose in value accordingly, and everybody who bought anything made money. In 1850-6 the acquisition of fifty millions a year in gold—which served basis for the creation of a hundred millions of paper currency—caused, in like man- ner, a general advance in all kinds of property, Teal estate, stocks, rents, salaries, labor and food; and speculators, witnessing the steady progress of this advance, were tempted to operate on it, and for many years made money steadily, until, in 1857, they _ overdid matters, and a collapse ensued. So now, the general government is adding a million a day to the currency of the country, and no correspond- ing increase is being made in the amount of pro- perty convertible into moncy. The consequence is obvious. Property must rise in value, in propor- tion to the increase in the currency, until a fresh equilibrium is established: and as it rises, specula- tors will naturally operate on the movement. The Sub-Ireasury is disbursing money freely; but the balance still remains so high that the Sub- Treasurer has not presented the draft he holds for an additional 10 per cent on the. bank loan. The banks have already paid 46 per cent of their $35,900,000, and of the balance some $7,000,000 will be paid in sixty day Treasury notes. It is probable, therefore, that they have seen the worst of the pinch arising from the first fifty million loan.
