The New York Evening Post of Saturday, 7th inst. says: There is a total absence of animation in Wall street to-day, and business in every department is stagnant. The troubles in two national banks are discussed, but the suspended institutions are too small for their in- solvency to attract any special notice. The action of the Comptroller of the Currency in closing up the Brooklyn bank on account of a deficiency in its reserve, is highly approved.

The appointment yesterday of a receiver for the de- faulting bank in Brooklyn is an admonition to all over- expanded banks throughout the country, and if any of them are delinquent on their reserve, they will do well to heed the warning, and to replenish their reserves of legal tenders without delay. By the excision of the weak, rotten parts of our national banking system, and in the rigorous promptitude with which that excision is done, while the operation is possible and safe-while money is easy and no trouble threatens-we gain almost the only guaranty we can hope for at present that that system shall be found elastic, and stable, and strong in the spasms, and panics, and financial revulsions of the future. To be strong then, our banks must make them selves strong now. No change is visible in the loan market, except that the demand for accommodation is slightly increased, and lenders have less difficulty in using their surplus balances at 4a5. The discount inquiry is also a little more active, choice bills passing at 6a6½. # PRODUCE MARKET.
