This afferds practical @videocs that these banks use tne motey deposited with them by the government ja a manner which fs only a soarce of weakness to the latter, They lend to epecuiatore, which couduces directly to the inflation of Prices, and thoy accept as collateral securty stocks and gem, which may decline sufficiently to sweep out any ordinary margin at apy time. If the cational banks sus- tain hoxvy losses the government has little or voremedy, and therefore they are unsafe custodians @f the public foods, im addition to which the principle of Permitting the existence of numercus sub-treasuries— which such of the national banks as are pubiic deposite- ries ally are—is.e bad one, and it shou'd be the objeot of the Secretary of the Tressury now, as it will be the Dusivess of Congress when it assembles, to remedy this evil, Thus far the natiooal banks Lave done no service to the governmest to conjeusate for the addition of more than fity eight militons to the curreucy which they have inflicted. Netwitnetanding the tightness of the money market jo certain quarters, however, Hirst class stock houses pave experienced po diMeuity in supplying their wants at seven per cent; but the demand has been limited to-day, owing to the decline in stocks apd currency values geue- rally, The discount line shows mo change.
