Its at the same time understood that iLere will be no further contraction ef the currency for an indefinite period to come, ewing to the condi- vion of the finances, tue curremt revenue receipts being hardly in excess of the disbursements. This ie the result of the depression before referred to, for which the Treasury Department ie iteelf, to a great cxtont, re- sponsible, he currency was comtracted too rapidly at ‘a juncture when contraction shouid have been rusponded altogether, and the consequence is that the Treasury now finds contraction impossible, But even more disas- trove than thie wi moral effeet of the talk of a re- sumption of specie payments in which Mr. McCulloch indulged from the date of Ine speech at Fort Wayne up to a very recent period. _ Even his views have, however, undergone considerable change with respeet to the cur- rency, and there is no present danger of any further attempt to contract ite volume, regardiess of the mate- rial welfare ef the nation, Tho country is about to enter upon a new era of prosperity, and the ‘Treasury is likely to be more in need of money than the taxpayers, Ite Secretary will, however, only have himself to \bank for any embarrassments that may overtake the department, But, becauge of the improved feeling which now pre- vails, it does not follow that )t fs desirable for the public te buy stocks at present prices; for, at the best, stoek epeculation i# as perilous and demorelizing as faro pley- ing, and outsiders are nearly always losera in the end.

The tdatement of the associated banke of this city for the week ending on the 20ta inst, shows no important changes, but there is a direct loss of a litte more than half a million in the legal tender reserve, including coin, and if we take into account the increase of deposits and the decrease in circulation we find that these Institu- tions are about $916,000 weaker im their reserve than they were at the date of their previous return. The Joans and discounts show an enlargement of $1,667,246, the net deposits of $1,563,889, and the legal tender notes of $045,593. The specie, on the other hand, shows a diminution of $),517,704, and the circulation of $73,922, The totals of the items of the present and preceding statements stand thas:— a, 916,190 At the same time last year the condition of the banks was as follows, and the differences appended are those between the two returne dated respectively July 21, 1966, and July 20, 1867:-—~ July 21, 1866. nad 20, 1867. + $8, 384, 4 Loans.
