THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1874 MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, MORNETARY. TorepAY EvENXG, Oct. 22, Monay continues very stiingent, and there eeems to be but little improvement in the gen- erel espect and prospects of the local money market. The slight incroase in bank deposits, noticed & few days ago, is about maintained, bub does not progress, and the banks are still unable 1o meet the demands made upon them for ac- commodation. A great deal of first-rate commer- sial paper is still obliged fo scek the street for purchasers at 134 to 2 per cent per month. The tendency of pricesof grain, cattle, and hogs seems temporerily to be unfavorable to & contin- ‘uance of their active movement to market, and consequently to that extent unfavorable to the prospect of an easier money market. The more sluggish movement of producte is reflected in & sgmewhat smeller supply of ex. change on the marketthan a day or two ago. Nevertheless the necessity for currency obliged 2 number of banks to be sellers of exchenge to- day, and the result of the pressure was that some were obliged {o gell as Iow as $1.25 per £1,000 discourt, though the general rate was $1 10 75¢c_per $1,000 discount. 1f those who are inquiring into the causes of the money stringency will turn their sttention to the eflect the advence in Eastward freights—which went into effect yesterday—bad on the movement of cattle and hogs, they will be satisfied that the stringency of monoy is due mainly to the ex- borbitant and coustently increasing rates of freights, which prevent the marketing of pro- ducls. Jtis sppurent (hat the present meane of transporietion between Chicogo and New York ere inadequate to make the exchange of Western products for Eastern goods. The quentities to Lo exchenged this year are much greater tlien ever before, and, unless greater facilities are had, we must cither diminish,_the quantities of produce to be sent Eastward or expect the same depression in prices Bud the same stringent condition in the money market every fall. | The public mind has been educated too mach into looking at & particular kind of currency in_bank notes and greenbacks instead of to the valuo of the marketeblo com- modities which can be exchanged for a supply of currencsy. IONEY I¥ NEW_YOBE. Money was casy to-day in New York at 4 and § per cent per aunum on &tock collaterals, and Pprices of stocks generally were higher, but this ease does not exiend to the market for com- mercial paper there, which "i8 nearly as stringent yet as it was & week or two ago. But should the low rates for money in cell loans on stocks continues. Sey- eral Ex)'a, it would favorably affect tho whole market there, and also the Chicago market by enabling banks here to get re-discounts. THE NATIONAL BANK LONOPOLY. An instance proving the monopoly of Natianal Banking privilege cems to our knovledgo o day ortwoago: Some w;&itnlis&s in & county in the northern half of this State had subecribed the capital for a National Bank, but, on application to the Comptroller of the Currency fora certi- ficate authorizing them to organize end begin business were refused it, on the ground that the quota for Illinois, for circulation, out of the ©5%,000,000 ~ suthorized in uly, 1870, ~was full. Of courso, there i3 no restriction on the number of National Banks thatmay be organized without circulation, but the National Banking act requires that every bank organized under that system shall deposit TUnited States bonds with the United States urer to an amount not less than £80,000, ‘wegardless of whether the bank gets circulation against the deposit or not. Now, the circula- tion afforded by the National Banking system is much more of &n object to banks in the conntry than in the city, and the quots of this State for circulation being full, the reatriction of the law amounts to & practical monopoly of National Bank circulstion and privileges. It ie true there are £18,000,000 not taken yet of the £54,000,000 of additional circulation authorized in July, 1870, but this £18,000,000 is part of what was ap- portioned to the Southern States in thatab- surd bill for the redistribution of the cur- renoy, and is, therefore, not available in Illi- nois, | Now, we do not believe that this monopo- 1y of bank circulation is the true cause of tho present stringency in the money market. Itis 1merely an absence of the means of increasing the National Bank circulation, and diminishing the legal tenders—the true ceuse of the present stringency ig, we think, suficiently ebowa in the high freights and low prices of products—but the idea of distributing currency by ensctment at all, is as ineane as that of inventing perpstuzl motion, and the bills for apportionment of cur- cency to any part of the country ought to be re- esled. If greembacks were made funda- le at the pleasure of the holder, into 4 per cent bonds, all restrictions on the volume .of National Bank _circulation might be safely removed, and with the increase of %fiu’ond Bank circulation we should not only steadily approgch a specie basis, but have just 88 much paper money s there was bank capital to gustain it, which would be all that ought fo be in existence. THE BEISSUE OF GREENBACKY. In our article of yesterday we wrote that the whoie scheme of getting up a popular demon- stration in favor of the issue of more green- backs probsbly originated with_the gold specu- ating clique, siced by tho railroad companies (but by & typographical error the word ‘‘with” svas omitted, thus entirely changing the sense). This will = probably be yet found fo the * origin of the scheme fo issue ‘more greenbacks. But it is curious that Secretary Boutwell should insist ou his authority to issue them, and by this claim thus co-operate with the clique in the endeayour to put up the price of&:)!d. The act of Feb. 4, 1868, which stopped the retiremeni of green- backs, gave the Secretary authority to issue new waca -~ in _place of those that were mutilated. By giving this anthority it implied the prohibition to issue them under any other circumstances whatever. LOCAL STOCE AND BOND MARRET. Mesers.

The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: 242 cars wheat; 201 carsand 16,500 bu corn; 63 cars oots ; 13 cars rye ; 112 cars bacley. Total (633 cars), 267,000 bu. Tumors aro in circulation to the effect that the late firms of Munn & Scott, and Muun, Norton, & Scoff, were interested in the Jate wheat corner. ere is no apparent ground for the in- sinuation relztivo to the lastnamed firm, and the Meesra. Norton, who studiously held aloof from the wholo procceding, ought not. to be held re- sponsible for the conduct of others, over whom they had no control. There was more vitality in the leading pro- duce markets to-dsy, and the principal cercals wero generally firmer, owing to & decline in lake freights, and the presence of several bringing orders, brought cnt by the recent downwart movement in_prices. = Our. reccipts for to- morrow were light, exceyi‘(; in wheat; but the bulletin showed that the shipments of yesterdsy were far lesa than the receipts, Tho shipping ‘movement was more active to-day than for some time past, and there is some reason to hope thet “our elevator bins Wil bs mod- erately free at the close of mnavigation. The grocery market was quict,with fow changes in values, an advanco of an l4cin A and extra C sugars, being the only alterations noted. Prices wera firmer for all staples ,and for most descriptions of side goods. There was a good demand for dry goods at former quotations, the market ruling firm for all staplo and seasonable fabrics. In the butter market an easy foeling 2gain Fremded, and quotations of choice dairy were lowered Ic, or to 25@26c. Cheese was again active and firm, the 3{cadvance recentl established being fully sustained. The deman for coal continues large, and prices sre firm and advancing. Weo now t};\otu Lackawouna at £10,00@11.00; Erie and Briar Hill at £10.00@ 10.50; _ Blossburgh £9.50@10.00 ; and Wilmington at £7.00. Dricd fruits are more active eud generally firmer, though without appreciable advance. No new features were noted in the fish market. Hey continues weak, and a further reduction of b60c per ton is reported. Stocks are accumu- lating, and the tendency is still downward. In the hide market no improvement was noticesble, the demand continuing small, and prices ruling weak and unsettled. Buyers wero refusing to psy over 112¢@113¢c for light green cured, and 105$@105c for heavy. Bales of part cured hides Werereported at 934@103¢c. There wes a fair movement in oils,” st subatantially yester- day's prices. No changes were rcported in” the leather, tobacco, or wood markets. Lumber was feirly active, former pricea being fully sustained. —Common brick is now selling at $12.00@14.00 ¥ m; many dealers are asking £12.50. The demand for lime, cement, &c., con- tinues good for the senson. Nails are in good demand at 6.1214@6.25, with 12}¢c off to the trade. Iron, copper, end tin are mnchanged. A very satisfactory business was dome. Thera was no improvement in the markets for wool and broom corn. Business is very qmut, and prices remain the samo as yosterdny. The sup- ply of hops is sufficient for present wants; the mew crop is reported ample and of fair quality. Peachiblow potatoes are in demand, but il other Sarieties are very dull and unsalable; mixedsell. ing at 25¢ on track. Apples continue to come in and move very slowly, chiefly in a retail way. ‘Winter apples are going into store, and very few choice varieties are offered for sale. Timothy seed was in fair demand. Clover and bay quiet, prices range about the same a3 yesterday. Highwines were s:mng, under & limited sup- ply, and a botter demand, which caused an ad- vanee of 34c. Sales were reported of 150 brls at 8814c, and 150 brls at B3 per gallon, the marlket Qlosing at tho outside. 3 Lake freights were active at a decline of 1@ 13¢e. Shippers have beld off for two or threo days pest, determined to forco o concession, Shich tho carriers reluctantly granted this morping, and then sll the offerings were freely taken, at 17c on wheat and 16c on corn or bar- Yoy, by eail, to Buffalo. A total of 13 charters ¥us reported, which will carry out 215,000 bu wheat, 25,000 ba corn, 80,000 bu barley, and 15,000'bu Tyo. rovicions were quiet, for the sesson, but much more active than the averege of the recent past.

Many operators were surprised that the holders of the large stock of pork now here should be able to command an advance of 50c per bl to- day. We note tbat parties who irant to bny pork for December ave cereful to specify “new.” ‘After New Year's Day the old pork wiil not be regular_for delivery on contracts. Lard was very dull, and some osarntors quoted it as agein easier, the stock of old not being wented. Bleats were stendy, with a moderste demand for del ery in e later months of winter ‘The market closed at the following range of prices: Mess pork, cash -or seller October held at £15.00; do, seller December, $12.75 ; do, geller January, $12.50@12.621¢ ; do. seller Feb- ruary. nominal ; do seller March, $12.75.

New York was quoted firm, by private advices, and a drop of 1@Ugc_per bushel in lake freights, though counterbalanced by & rise in freights on the Erie Canal, brought out e hetter. shipping in- quiry than has been known for many days past, and resultad in contracts to talo out & large pro- purtmn of the wheat now in store at this point. Tho shipping movement was helped by tho de- cline of Zc yesterday. But there were freo sell- ers; and the small advance in next month ghowed that the great mass of operators have no faith that present quotations can be materially improved upon. Indeed, bets were made £o the effect that wheat will decline to 90c per bu before the close of the year, and soveral sums of money were depositcd which caid that it would touch $1.00 before November is over. It is generally conceded that our whesat will be wanted in the East and in Burope, but the cost of sending it there this winler promises to be very great, and present indications ave that.it will be difticult to keep ourselves clear by rail during the winter at any price. Honce, the feeling of wenkness. A great many seitlements were made to-day. Seller the month opened at SL0TY, sdwenced to SLOTH, do- clived to $1.06}¢, improved to QLT3 and closed ab $1.073{.

Total, 802,400 bu, Corn was a little more active ; being in bet- ter domand at yesterdny’s prices for Novembor, and at 4c advance for cash lots. There was, however, no shipping demend till near the close, ‘when several lots wero taken for that purpose, in sympathy with a stronger New York, and the decline in lake freights. The activity was grincipa]ly speculative, and originated in the iscovery that old receipts are falling off for lack of prices that will pay the farmer. e bayve a tremondously large short interest in corn just mow, and o skarp turn in tho market might occur at any moment. Tho recent shrinkage in guotations bas been a long and gradual one; all who have sold short have mada ‘Tmoneg for several months past; and encouraged by this, the shorts have kopt on selling to any one that would buy.

The quality was poor, there being no extra, Tand” barely "a hatfdozen . choice, droves on sgale, Hence the average of prices was- low, The extreme range ‘was 8L.75@5.8734, but sales at over $4.50 were rare, while most of the transfera were at prices rang- ing downward from $4.25. Stock steers sold at 3.00@8.50 for common roughish lots; at £8.75 @3.90 for medium, and at $1.00@4.25 for good to prime qualitics, which are substantially the prices current last week, The receipts so far this week have beon light, and if Western ship- pera will display the good sense to withhold ship- ments of common and medium grades for a few daya longer the market may recover from its {reaenb epression. Advices from the FEast, hough not so discouraging as during last week, are still far from stimulating, and forthe pres- ent shippers may be expected to continue to buy on s somewhat lmited scale.

There has been soma slight fallicg off in the de- mand—due, ro doubt, to the continued stringen- cy in the money morket—but the movement is still more than usually active for thasesson, and a good feeling prevails generally. In prices there have been few variations. Coiton goods, especially standard makes, are being held with pronounced firmness, in sympathy with the raw meteriel, while in woollens tho ective and in- creasing demand tends to stiffen prices. Tho more western markets heve been doing a liberal business in woollen goods, and, a3 aresult, there is inquiry for duplicates, which shows that as- sortmen:s are being broken. This fact, together with the temporary discontinuance of the pro- duction of he;:dv eight woollens, is, to cer- tain extent, influencing the minds of holders, and there 8cems to be no disposition to increase sales af the sacrifice of prices. With a few un- important exceptions stocks are tolerably full in all departments, and, aside from the annoy- ance occasioned by the slowness of collections, the market appears to be ina satisfactory con dition. Carpetings are moving slowly. The prospects of Iower prices later in the sea- Bon leads retailers to réatrict their purchases to meeting immediate wants, and the volume of trade ia light, for the season.
