London, June 16.—The Times’ finan cial article, referring to the condition of the money market, says difficulties are still apprehended in the Provinces, and some vi-ry heavy failures would probably have occurred before now, but for the fact that the provincial banks interested prefer to htlD their customers for the time being, rather to let it bo thought that they have made any losses. What would, in ordinary circumstances, have been failures, have by the help thus af forded, been, in somo instances, turoecj into a kind of forced private liq uidation.* All this is well knownin the city, and makes money lenders moreens- picions and cautious than ever. A real revival of trade; and a brisk demand- for money would probably, reveal enough weakness or insolvency in several quar ters to amply justify the caution now -ex ercised. ’ Wabhinoton, June 16.—The Senate took up the bill introduced by McPherson to amend the aotof 1793 in regard to en rolling and* licensing vessels engaged in the coasting trade and fisheries.
