New York Monetary Affairs. NEW York, Oct. 9.-There has been but little change today in the aspect of our money affairs, rates continuing as high and as unsettled as yesterday, while the demand is more pressing. There were rumors affecting the standing of two or three heavy firms, but only one suspension is known, that of Gallandel & Wetmore, bankers. The run on the Park Bank subsided early this afternoon, the bank having promptly met all demands. There was a slight run on the Bowery Bank, and also on the Brooklyn City Bank, but all demands on both institutions were promptly paid. The Central Bank of Brooklyn, was enjoined today, and a receiver appointed. The bank has a circulation of $90,000, and $1000 in specie. A meeting was held this afternoon at the Merchants' Bank, at which was discussed a proposition for the banks to provide from their common resources, a fund of five or six millions, to be used in bringing forward produce to our market. At the morning session of the stock exchange, railroads were again all lower, with two or three exceptions. State stocks remained firm, with large sales. The second board showed no improvement. At a late hour the result of the conference meeting of banks and merchants transpired on 'Change. A proposition for an immediate in. crease of loans to the amount of three millions, was defeated.
