MONEY MATTERS. The demand for money for business purposes Is stesdily inrreoalnyl In" New York, and other north em porn. Thlfdsmand I met freely by Banks and Private capitalists, so thai thc rale of inters! lias not increased. The accumulation In the Sub-Treasury of specie, to the amount of three and a , half millions ofolfars, iti New York nloneja calculated to annoy the banks and depress ths money -.market. But they have abouf eight millions of specie yet in their vaults, which keeps them in a situation of com parative ease. The New Yprk Spectator says: "Thus while Ihe general aspect of business may be considered favdrablt, It ia evident that there are rea sons which should induce the community Wt to place too much confidence In the continuance of an easy money market for six months lo come, merely because such has been ilscondiilon for six months post. The experience of formcf years has shown ilmt it is easy, under an abundant money market, to nccumiilato so largo an amount of obligations as speedily to Increase Ihe rale ol Interost and destroy confidence In t ommerrial paper, from tho apprehend ed results of the speculatiyc tendencies of all class es, when they have become sufficiently developed lo ailed prices materially." Speculations on our owq a flairs would be but idle declamation. The unprecedented pressure in the mo ney market here, Is but very little abated, though wc may certainly look for belter times from the com mencement of tht Fall trade, which is now at hand. .
