those liabilities nre greater or less is money pleuty
iv or scarce. They constitute the fund oat of which j
,t all operations must be performed.
Huul's Merchants' Magazine contains tables of ' c<
the weekly returns of the banks of the city of New c<
y York for the years 1856 and 1R57, which furnish
10 ;t complete view of their operations. They throw iI;
a Hood of light on the present state of things. The I.
j return for Junumry 3d, 1857, shows $104,001),000 ?<

This varied very little from tin returns of the !
0 I preceding six mouths, and this statu of things con- ,
[, ! tinned with little change, but with a slight tendency i /
| to increased expansion, up to the 15th of August. *
The greatest expansion was on the 2d of May, when i
;e the liabilities were $ 108,000,OOl), with $12,0tM),(Hit)
ill of specie. The return of the 15tli of August shows l(

' Mr. K: idle, at the lust nmineut, agreed !> their 1

a- I immediately relieved. Hut Mr. Kiddle was reck?
less enough when the lliiity days cxpred, without
-d the slighest necessity, to call for these balances, and
m the screw another turn. _
it* This pruduoed an iuMRM and unexpected pre*- J
ry *ure, for it was the New York understanding that y
>,u Mr. Kiddle should not again press them without
it- ' some show of necessity. This pressure lie cont n- ' ()
? ? ued until the adjournment of Congress in July, r
m ; when ho gave up the chase, and soon alter extend
td > ed tlio loans ot the bank front 4? to G3 million*.
"I t There was nothing in that pr?,*sure to be com- "
r- pared in severity to the present. It was wholly *
owing to tiie unprincipled action of Mr. iiiddle.
' The pressure of IH37 was wholly unlike the
' present. During n period oi grtiu overtrade, a few
" ix'iiduti house* imprudently created uii American t
!' debt of fifty or sixty millions of dollars, by giving
v*' out tlieir acceptances, to be met by other equally ?
|ui fictitious bills a* they fell due. These houses fill
lc? into discredit, and informed their correspondents in i
d- A liter.ea that the whole debt must be liquidated at i
c>" once, or they must become bankrupt. This was in t
"* March, w hen no remittances could be made except
"l in specie, which the hanks were called upon to fur I
ug ni*h. The New York bunks went on lor something c
>is over a month, when they (bund it impossible to con 1 c
tmuc. They then suspended, and with them tl e
whole country. There is nothiug like it now, as ' r
ol tin-re is no foreign demand for specie.
'?) i The question now arises, what is the remedy? c
ir what i* to be done? Nothing can be plainer. Th> j
ll* New York banks must retrace their steps, mil ' t
"P ' speedily, or it wilt be loo late. T'ey should itt onoe ;
