Bank Matters. The Chicago Press of Wednesday notices the suspension of the Brookville Bank, Huntington County Bank, and Bank of America, Indiana. The owners of the banks refusing to comply with the requirements of the late amendment to the free banking law of that State, the institutions will be wound up by the Auditor. Their bills, says the Press, may be expected to yield at least 75 cents on the dollar. The same paper states that there is no change, in the rates at which brokers in Chicago purchase the bills of the discredited banks of Illinois. People's Bank and Rushville Bank are at from 8 to 10 per cent discount, and Stock Security at from 3 to 5 per cent. The Toronto Leader publishes an announcement that the leading banks of the Province have agreed to continue the redemption of the notes of the Zimmerman Bank, at their offices, as usual. Ones on the Bank of Quebec, altered to tens, are in circulation at Toronto. They may be detected at once by the denominations, being an X in each corner, instead of a figure; the X's having been put where the figures I were. The last weekly statement of the New York city banks, (March 21,) compared with that of the previous week, shows an increase in loans of $197,702, in specie of $213,541, and in circulation of $41,687; and a decrease in undrawn deposits of $738,576. The Indianapolis Journal of the 20th says: "The securities of the Bank of North Aemerica, at Clinton, will be sold in a few days by the Auditor of the States. The proceeds will pay about fifty cents on the dollar, of the outstanding circulation. "The Bank of Warsaw has given notice of its intention to close business. Its issues are redeemed at the Central Bank Indianapolis. The gold has been deposited at the Central Bank, for the redemption of its outstanding circulation. "The issues of the New York and Virginia Stock Bank, at Evansville, are redeemed by the Crescent City Bank, and the issues of the Merchants and Mechanics' Bany, of New Albany, are redeemed by the New Albany Branch of the Bank of the State of Indiana. The new banking law of Illinois provides that no bank shall be located in any town or village of less than 500 inhabitant."
