# MONEY MARKET. Tuesday, May 3-6 P. M. There was a very small business done at the Board to-day, and prices changed but little. Indiana 5's rose per cent; Delaware and Hudson ); Long Island. Sales of bills on Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore at par. A quantity of certificates of the Union Bank of Florida were offered at auction to-day, and bought in at 40 cents on the dollar by Centre & Co. The market rate for this description of paper is 25 to 35 cents. The following are among the broken free banks of this State, of the failure of which the Comptroller has received no legal notice:- Bank of Olean, James Bank, and the State Bank of New York at Buffalo. We would ask of the Bank Commissioners why it is that they have taken no steps to procure the order of the Chancellor for the payment of the bills of the broken safety fund banks? The Comptroller can take no action in the matter until that order is procured. As soon as it is issued, the Comptroller can issue 7 per cent stock, to the amount which the State is indebted to bank fund, say about $550,000, in redemption of the bills. The delay of the Commissioners is inexcusable, inasmuch as it gives facility to designing men to purchase up the bills at heavy discount, and hereafter profit by the redemption. We mentioned a few days since that a run had taken place on the Oswego Bank. The Cashier of that institution has sent us the following statement in relation to the transaction :- OSWEGO BANK, April 30, 1842. JAMES G. BENNETT, Esq.- DEAR SIR,一 The recent run on this bank for specie did not, I think, deserve the notice as appears in your paper of the 28th inst. The whole amount drawn did not exceed two thousand dollars. The run, however, has now subsided, and our specie is as usual accumulating on our hands. Our notes are redeemed at the Mechanics' & Farmers Bank, Albany, and at our counter. Please make the correction. Yours, &c. H. H. HURLBUT, Cashier. A new fraud in imitation of the bills of the red back banks has just made its appearance at Buffalo. It purports to be of the "Farmer's Bank of Cattaraugus," rather badly executed, but calculated to deceive the unwary. Some of the bills were not even signed, and on one appeared the significant names of "Goneaway" President, and "Cum-back" Cashier. At Baltimore, Railroad orders are at 68 cents on the dollar; Wheeling banks 15 per cent discount; Virginia banks 8 per cent discount. At New Orleans the banks have decided to pay up all balances against each other, once a week, in the legal money of the Union. The banks of North Carolina resume to-day. The following is a return of the Bank of the State of Georgia and branches, on the 4th April, as compared with the return of October, 1841 :- BANK OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND BRANCHES, APRIL, 1842 AND OCTOBER, 1841.

Of Pots some 40 to 50 bbls. have been taken at $5.621, but the market cannot be considered firm at this rate.

COTTON-The sales to-day are about 500 bales, at al most previous rates. The market, however, continues in favor of the buyer. A portion of these sales were to exporters, but the decline in Exchange and the difficulty of selling bills, keep shippers out of the market. The sales for the past week add up 2,200 bales, viz: 1,300 Upland and Florida, at a 9; 300 Mobile, at of a 10; 400 New Orleans, at 6a 10. FLOUR-The improved feeling in Flour continues to prevail, and the demand to-day for the East and bome trade has been very fair. Some large receivers who have been seiling at $4.25, are now asking $4 311. The sales of Genesee have been generally at $1.25, with none to be had less, and are not very treely at that. Ohio flat. $4 182 a $425; Wilmington, $1.18 a 25, mostly good brands at the latter rate. Troy is afforded at but sales cannot be made at that rate. Round Ohio is selling at $4 183 and in demand.

Commercial and Money Matters. SATURDAY, March 25. The sales of State securities were large, reaching at both Boards some $150,000. Kentucky, in consequence of unfavorable construction put upon the late Bank Law, fell off 1 per cent, but improved 1 at the Second Board. Ohio declined 1; Mechanics' Banking Association went up 1; Paterson down 1. Sterling Exchange is 51 a 6, with a moderate business. Francs 5 45 a 524 Mobile is not plenty, and selling at 18 a 19 discount. The announcement in our paper yesterday morning of the suspension of the Oswego Bank took every body by surprise. It had been thought that the Banks of this State had been thoroughly sifted. We learn nothing farther, ex cept that the Bank will not probably become a charge on the Safety Fund. The trouble was occasioned by some disputes among the Directors. The notes are selling in Wall street at 124 discount. It is, by the way, a remarkable coincidence that the American and Commercial, in part, should have the same article on the subject that appeared in The Tribune yesterday morning. Some interesting statements in regard to financial matters in Ohio will be found in the letter of our Columbus correspondent. Dr. Hubbard, the acting Fund Commissioner of Ohio, has entered upon the duties of his office. At Mobile, 16th, Exchange quiet; Sterling 22 prem 60 days on New-Aoria 16, sight 18; American Gold 22 a 23, Silver 21 a 22. The Bank of Mobile was checking at 18.

There was a moderate business done at the Board to-day, at firm prices. State T's improved & per cent.; 5's, 4; Ohio 6's declined 1. The New Board held their first session to-day in the Rotunda of the Exchange. It was found that the reverberation was so great that the operations proceeded with difficulty, and it was generally concluded that this place of meeting must be abandoned. The merchants will not regret this very much, as they think the partitioning of the Rotunda a nuisance, and that after paying $15 per annum for the use of it, they should have the whole use of it. We understand that the liabilities of the Oswego Bank are now only a litrle over $50,000- The Bocks show a loss of capital of less than $20,000, so that its ability to resume will depend entirely upon the goodness and convertibility of its assets. Most of these, it is believed, will be realized, if the Bank resumes or if the Directors are permitted to close its affairs. The Bank is now erjoined, but it has done nothing since the suspension which it could not have done under an injunction. If the Chancellor should decide that it is unnecessary to appoint a Receiver, the Bank may be again started; but it is not yet known what will be his decision. Nothing farther has been discovered in relation to the whereabouts of Shipman, the absconding carrier. It is now generally supposed that he had involved himself by lottery and other gambling, and that he made his escape more to avoid the consequences of this than to abscond with the money in his possession. An intimate friend of his had recently drawn a prize, and Jacob had dreampt that the same piece of good luck had befallen him. Since this it is well known he has spent considerable sums in this most desperate of all speculations, and it is feared also at other branches of gambling. His friends now are ready to believe him insane when he went away-any thing rather than that he has disappointed their firm confidence in his integrity. We believe no one has gone in pursuit of him. One or two facts which have come to our knowledge certainly look as if he had not lost all principles of honesty. During Wednesday, the day he left Philadelphia, he ordered all the brokers' packages to be sent to a friend's office, instead of collecting them himself, as was his practice. He then neglected (probably purposely) to go for them, and took his seat in the cars. At the last moment a messenger from his friend's office brought them to him. This looks as if he did not intend to grasp all he could get into his possession, and then run away. If this had been the case he would have

Oswego Bank.-This institution has suspended payments-whether temporarily or otherwise is hard to judge. The Oswe. go Herald says " Those best informed have the most confidence in its paper." The Oswego county Whig remarks, " Whether it will resume, is a problem, which time alone can answer." The Herald offers to receive its bills on subscription. There is one other circumstance which makes us think, it may resume.Persons during the latter part of last week, were from Oswego, and visited several stores in pursuit of bills on this Bank. If the Bank was down beyond resuscitation, what could be the object of buying up its bills at a small discount? The Bank has only about $45,000 in circulation.-Dyracuse State Journal. Good Times ahead.-Every sign of the times assures us of an onward move of the wheels of business in the spring. Our produce, though low, is selling, and we are importring a little. Specie is flowing into' the United States, and by the first of May, our ordinary stock will be increased twenty millions. Let us cease croaking and put our shoulder to the wheel, and all will be well. Let every man resort to industry and economy, and cease to look to Congress, the State Legislature or any thing beyond himself. Energy is needed to shake off our fears. Let us once more go ahead, as we are now all right.-Troy Budget. Michigan.-The cattle are dying in the northern counties of Michigan from starvation. In many places they are fed with flour. The conductor of the Detroit Daily Advertiser has been told by "the oldest inhabitant." that it is just fifty-four years since a winter of equal severity has been experienced there. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.-The publication of the geological survey of the state of New York will cost $1,000,000. The engravings alone cost $50,000 Mexican Theatres.--It is said that 'in Mexican theatres the ladies and gentleman all smoke during the performances.
