UNO Fut accounts from reliabie sources in all parts of this Biate have been received by me, and | have the satisfac- ton of stating that they promise an abundant yield of aM crops except corn, The heavy and late rains ha\ Mmundated the prairie lands of the State, and the absence of dry weather has delayed the planting very much. Farmers who planted corn early in most cases found it rotting, and they replanted. Bhe grain dealers ef thie city have had the blues very badly in conse. quence, but better woather for growing crops could not ‘be asked for now, and the usual corn yield is expected; prices, a8 a result of this, bave falien, The situation is ‘ndoed hopeful, unless the winter in early and pre- Vents the crop maturing.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Further Exposures ef the System—Flagvant Violations of the Law—Miltiens of Gevern- ment Deposite at the Merey of the Bank OMicers—1t is Not Secured by Sufficient Sr, Louis, Jane 12, 1867. My last letter, exposing the stumptail character of the national banks, was wriéten from Chicago before I had an opportunity of fully investigating their management in the interior, I have just visited some of the prin- cipal towns in the rural districts, and some startling revelations are the result, One of the great items of business is advances to grain and stock dealers, To illustrate this 1 will give an in- stance. In one of the interior towns there is a bank whose capital stock is $200,000, In the same town re- sides a large dealer, who supplies the Eastern market with cattle, This dealer isa man who bas vo personal assets to offer as security for accommodation; yet ho bes made arrangements with this bank by which he draws upon it without limit, ‘When he purchases from two hundred to five hundred head of cattle he pays for them in the shape of drafts upon the bank, in which he has no funds, The bank honors the drafts, frequently to the amount of $100,000 per week, or fifty per cent of its entire capital, in direct violation of section forty-seven of the act, which pro- vides that ‘the total liabilities of any person or ef any company or firm (including in the liabilities of a com- pany or firm the liabilities of the several members thereof) to apy association, including liabilities as acceptor of tond fide bills of exchange, payable out of the State where the association is located, shall at no time exceed one-third; exclusive of liabilities as acceptor, one-fifth; and exclusive liabilities on such bills of exchange one-tenth part of the amount of the capital stock of such association vid in,” The deaior ships the cattle to the Eastern market, dis- poses of them, and if he be honest places the amount of his indebtedness to the credit of the bank. Should he feel disposed to profit by the confidence of the bank he can easily pocket the is of sale and leave the bank in the lurch, with one half of its capital lost in ono transaction. I am aware that one bank accommo- dates one dealer to the amount of half its capital stock weekly, and how much they accommodate others it is impossible to say, It is certainly, to say the least of it, ‘a loose and dangerous way of doing business, which can only be accounted tor on the supposition that the offtcers of the bavk interested in the profits accruing on the rales. This is a represontative case, and one half the banks of the interior are guilty of like violations every day, using the government depoaits for their own benefit, which is not unfrequently twice the amount for the security of which they have deposited bonds in the ‘Treasury. Section 51 of the act provides for an examination of the banks by an officer appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency. This examination isa huge bumbug. I learn that all through the West the banks are in the habit of hoodwinking the examiners by various means. The moment an examiner enters upon his round and visits a bank, telegrams Ifke the following are sent by the President or bis cashier to their correspond. ents:—Examiner is inspecting us to-day. He goes to ——— to-morrow. Be read: him.” The officer receiving this despatch at once prepares his account to make a good showing, and should it be un- satisfactory he) not unfrequently borrows checks and otber paper, aga under the mysterious heading of “cash items,” &., the work of preparation is complete, Frequently these checks are borrowed from other banks foraday to enable a cashier to make up his sworn statement, and returned to the party from whom bor- rowed next day. Cases have been reported to me where these examiners have been dined and wined until they were no longer in condition to examine the books, when they were in- vited behind the counter, and, after turniog over a few leaves, they would remark, ‘Oh, you are all Hight; it is unnecessary to examine your institution.” result of this laxity is that the ezamiver makes bis report to ‘the Treasury that such banks are in @ flourishing con- dition, the stockholders, the government and the de- positors are deceived, and the upshot sometimes sa suspension and the development of rascalitics such as ‘those that have recently disgraced New Orleans, Selma and other places, In most instances the small depositor is the sufferer ; Dut occasionally the government is a loser also, as the banks hold out inducements of from two to four per cent to officers for of goverament funds, which very a, largely ex the amount of fuads at Washington to secure this item. I could name banks which “ave fally, $1,000,000 "in 0 which ie secured by than $260,000 in bonds. One bank mm this city, with a capital stock of but $200,000, has $1,800,000 epoatte, much of which is by myer officers, one-fourth of which is not secured y bonds. What a fine opportunity is here presented for a clever speculation. Let me illustrate this by a dialegue that took places few weeks ago between a gentlemau in Chicago and the President of Western national bank. Paeswent—I am delighted with the banking system. Tt te 80 profitable, Mr. B.—In what way? Prasivent—The government business, We have over one million dollars government deposits, which we turn to account for increasing the dividends. Mr. B.—Is it possible? And how much have you de- posited to secure these deposits ? Presipent—Only one hundred thousand dollars. Mr. B.—It is strange the government will conduct business so hazardously. How does it come they are not more careful? Presipest (with @ smile)—Oh, that is mee « explained. The government officers find it profitable to deposit with us THE BAXKS OF MISBOURI. The total capital of this State in national banks ts over seven millions, In the interior I learn the same system is pursued as in Mlinois, but as a general thing the banks of this city are conducted with more caution. From official sources I learn the following figures ap- pear as the condition of the entire banks of the State: — Loans, &c $9,721,899 Individual depo- U. 8. bonds. 4. 650 jee Po 228,085, 5 7,459,300 . Circulation...... 2,403,230 Surplusfund.... 605,506 The great complaint in this city is thatthe ational banks endeavor to monopolize the entire business, and instead of confining themselves to a general business they descend to common brokers and deal in gold, United States bonds, State and national military bonds, indeed everything. They have sent out circulars offer. ing as bigh as four per on current accounts and time deposits. Under the law they are permitted to charge eight per cent interest on discount, bat take ten. It ig customary for them to buy bills on local ta, charging eight per cent and additional for exchange, thereby realizing from ten to twelve per cent on their transactions, Some of the banks have individual de. posits ranning from one to one anda half million, and ‘80 loosely is their general business conducted that Ht ie not uncommon for them to borrow to prevent a run institutions, St. Loais bank had $40,000 of its drafts came vers going under, Two stories are told as the cause of this difficulty.

Still others find themselves compelled to endure the city’s heat and dost every working day of tho week, and obtain a few draughts of fresh air only by a rural excursion om Sunday, returning in the evening to undergo the toil and sweltering of city life for six long days to come. Thousands of this latter class left the city for suburban districts yesterday. The steamer Royal took a large boad of passen- gers to Rockaway, L. I., om each of its trips (seven A. M, and two P. M.), from the foot of Warren street. These, after enjoying the invigorating breezes wafted from old ocean over “Long Island’s see tits shore,’’ returned by the steamer at half-past four and half-past nine P. M. Fort Leo was the site by bundreds whereon to Tusticate yesterday, and the steamer Thomas E. Hulso made several trips there, each of which was well patronized. Pleasant Valley and Bull’s Ferry also bad their pa- trona, who left by the steamer Palisade, from the foot of Twenty-second street, the boat making several trips during tho day, and being heavily laden with living freight on every occasion. A very large number of excursionists took the steamer Thomas Collyer, from the foot of Warren street, and were landed in’ parties at Youkers, Hastings, Dobbs’ Ferry, Irvgton, Sing Sing, Haverstraw, Cozzens’, Cold Spring, Cornwall and Newburg, returning to the city by Dont and rail in the evening. The steamer Sylvan Grove took several boat loads to Harlem; and the Sylvan Stream, running to Whitestone, City Island, New Rochelle and Glencove, had numerous passengers journoying to those various rural places, Youkers is a favorite place of Sunday resort for many, and the steamer L. rdman, which runs there, was filled with a crowd of pleasure seekers, For sevoral years past it has been customary with many to make a Sunday trip to Bergen loint or Newark oftentimes during the summer. These found ample op- portunity for so doing by taking the steamer Thomas P. Way, which makes three trips to these Jersey towns every Sabbath. Handreds of persons, bent either on eas OT pleasure, took the New York and Troy Ipany's steamer, from pier 44 North river, Iast evening, desirous of enjoying a moonlight sail up the North river; Dut the series of showers that set in about seven P. M. doubt- less detracted greatly from the pleasure they fondly anticipated from their trip, The above are the principal water avenues by which those who desired to ruralize temporarily found their way out of the crowded city; but, in addition to these, tho Peo the cars that run tothe subur- ban districts, and spent the day in the enjoyment of those pleasures that attach to the many delightful spots contiguous to the metropolis. The rain tbat came down tn the evening marred to somo extent the enjoyment they had experienced during the day, and caused the cars on their return trips to be crowded to excess, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC GOSSIP. The closing concert of the Mendelssohn Union took place at Irving Hall on the 18th mst. before a crowded house. The programme consisted of Berg’s third mass, a work of great merit, skilfully wrought out, and reflect- ing every shade of sentiment and expression contained in the sublime words of the Kyrie, Gloria, Oredo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei.
