PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25 -It is learned from authentic sources that three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in greenbacks arrived here to day from New York and Washington city Other large sums are on the way which are expected to arrive to-morrow, and there is a well founded hope that the greenback stringency will be over by Saturday morning if not soon er. The entire outlook is more bright and there is reason for saying that the temporary derangement of our financial houses is to be of very brief duration. The run on the various Savings banks has stopped and no new movement of the kind is apprehended. The Security Trust Company is making arrangements to resume. The officers say that they expect to be open by Monday next. The Lawrence Savings Bank, which suspended yesterday, will resume in a few days RUMORED ASSIGNMENT AT TOLEDO.

Considerable excitement was caused here this morning by the announcement of the precautionary measures adopted by the Chicago and Cincinnati banks, which were at first reported as having totally suspended, end this excitement was heightened at noon by the suspension of the private banking house of Woolen, Webb & Co. Owing mainly to the return of their draits on the suspended Trust Company of New York and public confidence became so shaken that there was quite a heavy run on Ritzingers' Bank and on the Indianapolis Savings Banks by a class of generally small depositors, and some few persons withdrew their money from other banks The First National Bank, instead of closing at the usual hour, kept open an hour later to give any depos itor an opportunity to withdraw his money if he wished, and when it closed it had received moremoney than it had paid out. The unquestionable solvency of all our banks, together with the fearless way in which they met the excitement, seems to have sent home the crowds who thronged the streets after the banks had closed in a better state of feeling. and it is now anticipated that there will be no fur ther trouble. The banks previous to the excitement had, after a conference together, decided to go ahead in the usual way, and this determination will be carried out.

It is confidently believed here that the banks in the city were never in a more sound condition than at the present, and their action this afternoon Is recognized as a prudent precaution against any panic.
