2 THE CHICAGO' DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 94, 1872, moNETARY AND COMMERCIAL, MONETARY. WEDNESDAY DVENTNS, Oct. 2% Wo arounshle to report any substsntial im™ provement in the money market. On the sur” face, there is alittle better asppctin the fact that the decline of Iskoe freighte from here to ‘Buffalo is favorable to ehippers and encourages the movement that leaves money where tho grain moves from, Bat, on the other hand, we hear ramors of & rise in freights on the Erie Canal, in consequence of the great mortality among the horses. How much foundation thers is for this report is not exactly clear yet, but, on the whole, we cannot seo that the situation has improved 25 far as transportation Eastward is concerned. The entire cost of taking corn out of ‘our elevators, sending it to New York, and gelling it, isnow sbout $6c per bu, and for wheat chont 43¢ per bu. This enormous cost shows why grain is low here, and calculating the same ratio of cxpense from the interior Doints of shipment to this cily, it i3 easy o gco why the price that can be paid for the grain lenves the farmer almost nothing. The railroad and vessel interests are eating the country up, and until thers is either a rise in prices of grain and provisions in foreign markets, or a decline in railroad and vessel freights in this conntry— the prospect of neither of which is very flatter- ing—the farmers will be hard up, the merchants “who sell them goods will bio_ditto, and will be obliged to stop business when they find they can no longer borrow of their bankers to pay their Eastern debts for gaods. This is the situstion, and the proepect ismot 8 flattering one. Almost the only redeeming featureis that the Bouth is pros- verous, is gem-’;f {air prices for a large crop of cotion, and will undoubtedly need s large amount of the breadstufts and provieions of the West. The demand upon the banks of this city for accommodation is very Jarge, coming from coantry banks for re-discounts and loans as well a8 from city merchants for slmilsr favors. The banks are extending aid to the fullest ex- iept_of prudence, but deposits have been s0 much diminished during the last three wesks ihst their ability to accommodate bas been greatly diminished. An indication of how closs 1o &s!hnre the banks are obliged to £ail is shown inthe . ABNORMAL PRICE OF.EXCHANGE, which now gells at from 1 to $1.25 per 21,000 discount between banks. This low price is not due to the abundance of exchange, for the arount of New York bills making is less than it was several days ago. But banks that are obliged to haye the currency cannot epare the capital for the four days that it would take ta forward the bills to New York and fetch the cur- Tency back; this is the reason that, notwith~ standing the low price of exchange, thers is litlle or no currency coming from New York to this city. BATLROAD INDEBTEDNESS. ‘We have mentioned several times, Iately, that besides the low prices of grain and preducts in the country, an additional cause of ‘stringency is the difficulty of negotiating railroad bonds in Europe. This keops the companies bard up, and in several well-kmown instances the con- tractors for the constrnction of new West~ ern roads are unable to .pay their bills for sapplies bonght in Western cities. The antici- pation of a further advance in the 'BANE OF ENGLAND RATE to theextraordinary figure of 7 per cent affords 20 prospect; of sny amelioration of this feature. Since the beginning of Septomber the bank has advanced its rate from 38} per cent, at which it stood then, to 6 per cent now, in view of the poseibility of & drain of specie to Germany. ‘The circumstances which seemed to threaten such a drain two weeks ago Bscem to favor it even more now, and_ it is not jmprobable that the Bank of England will ad- yance the rate to 7 per cent, or even higher, in order to check the import of foreign goods and draw specie from the conntry. _ THE SPECIE EXPORT from the United States has thus far been light Zfor 2 month past. For the week ending Oct. 19 the total from the port of New York was $626, 338; grevmnely reported, ©60,142,032; total since Jan. 1, 1872, 60,768,420; same time 1871, $56,819,830; same time 1870, 851,253,662; same time 1869, £23,536,682; same time 1868, £66,752,340. It 18 posgible that if specie exports shonld be large from this country, the price of gold wonld goup, and thus s fctitions rise in vrices generaily roduced that would move ihe crops more readily than st present, thongh in the end it would leave the producer no more profit than at present prices. —— REAL ESTATE.

The following grain has been * inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o’clock: 265 cars wheat ; 188 carsand 6,200 bu corn; 70 cara and 7,000 bu osats ; 6 cars rye ; and 110 cars bar~ Jey. Total (639 cars), 265,000 bu. The great sensation in grain circles to-day was the threatened embargo on the movement along the Erie Canal, in consequence of the preva- lence of the horse disesse in New York State. ‘All along the line of the canal the horses are re- ported to be dying by bundreds, and the owners of veluable animals are sending them away to other parts of the country as fast as possible, to save them from tho dreaded disease. The con- sequence is that horses cannot be procured to do the towing on the canal; and it is feared that thers will be & dearthof transportation facilities by water, through to the close of navigation., Freights from Buffalo are now 16c on wheat and l4c on corn, and it is expected that they will go much higher ere the close of the season. The recent improvements in steam towing on the canal have not been in- | troduced extensively enough to materially affect the supply in case the animal towing power should fail, as it now threatena to do, and the consequence can scarcely be other than & yvast increase in the demand for rail freights, that may result in a radical advance on present high retes. The occurrence of the horse diseaso is especially to ba regretted at the present time, when the farmers ecarcely obtain enough for their grain to pay them for the labor of hauling it to the station. If freights should go mucl higher, they would do better to keep their grain atgmme then to give it awey for nothing. THE MARKETS. The leading produce markets were gonerally strong to-dzy, and more active, notwithatand- ing the dificulty in transporiation on the Lrie Canal, which has been partially mado amends for by a drop. in lske freights. The movement was entirely a speculative reaction from long- drawn-out weakness, which has resulted in ma~ terially redncing our receipts, espacially of corn and oats. Withcut some improvement in prices we can_scarcely syoid extremo dullness in the prodace trade during the coming winter. The “demend for groceries was only moderately active and former prices were unchanged. Choice and fancy coffees continue scarce, but_otherwise stocks are in good working order. In the dry goods market activity still prevails. Butier and cheese are moving to s liberal extent et vester- day's quotations, though the former article was easy, the tendency being to s further decline, Cosl'met with & good inquiry and was firm af the late advance. BStocks are reported light for the season, and dealers aaticipate even higher prices than now prevail. 'The demand for freeh 'waa sgain good, and as stocks of most degcrip- tions are now sample, a_healthier tone per- vades "the market, Dried fruits re- main quiet and without material change in velues. The hay market presented the seme general features as poted for soversl days past. The supply continues to accumulate, and prices are still working downward, a further reduction of 50¢ per ton being sustained to-day. Hides were weak at the recent ‘reduction, orat 1034@103{c for heavy, and at 11X4@11%¢c for light green cured. A fsir business was doing in oils, 8t 27@38c for_carbon; et 73c for No. i lard; at 90@92c for boiled linseed; and at 72@ 73c for turpentine. Tobaeco, leather, and wood wero unchanged. The lumber trade was fairly active to-day, and prices rule steady at former quotations, Building materials are iz continned iood demand, snd firm st present rates. on, the metals, nails, snd naval stores are in falr inqury, and prices unchanged. The wool market continues dull and prices irreg- uler. Seles were made of different grades amounting to 18,000 Ibs. Hops are auiet ; the supply is_fully E‘l}‘l‘l' to the demand; prices _steady st 15@30c. Timothy seed Was again quiet and the market a trifle sasier ; clover firm ; fax unchanged. Turkeys, chickens, and ducks were in large supply, and _selling lower; turkeys qnntedg at 9@11c. The markst for potatoes is unchanged ; peachblows continue in good de- ‘mand apd prices steady ; white and mixed pota~ toes are in large and increasing supply, very few sales being made at any prico. Apples, grapes, and other fruits are about the same &s yester- dny. Cranberries qutet bub ‘steady at $10.00@ 12.00 perbrl. . 3 : . Highwines were quiet, but firm at the advance gained yesterday., A total of 250 bris was sold at 883¢c per gc on, and that price was bid at the close, with 89c asked. TLake treights were quiet and stosdy st the re- duced rates reached yesterdsy afternoon, at 15¢ for corn to Baffalo, snd 228¢c for do io Oswogo, both by eail. Wheat to Baffalo was nominal ab 16c. Throngh rates to Boston on corn were %.\DM at 88¢, and to Portland at 36c. Wheat to 3 e ston sbout 17c. The weaknees was owing o & fear on the part of shippers that they would not be able {0 forward the grain from the vessel to the seaboard. A totalof 9 charters 'was reported, including 2 yesterday afternoon, which will carry out 190,000 bu corn and 70,000 ba barley. N % Provieions were quiet, and irregular. Mess pork was in fair demand for futuro delivery, and quite firm, the more deferred options being quoted stronger, while holders of cash lots were steady ab the sdvance noted yesterdsy. It was remarlked that the holders of ‘the cash pork now in stock here are the men who are buying up the new pork for future delivery; snd BOme sur- i ‘menifested to-day a¢_the hardihood of S:Iea:;:r:fiun. e e o doubt that th ex- font of the manufsctare of mess pork the com- ing winter will largely depend upon the previous speculative demand. This is whfi'etps great mass of operators are afraid to buy, Delieving that if they ehould get up 8 big demand the supply would only be limited by the production of staves and headings for cooperage, while if there be not much cf a movement in pork before Christmas, the packers will prob- ebly turn their attention to meats more largely than heretofore. Lard was dull, in the absence of buyers. Meats were unchanged, though in better request, thers being several inquiries on foreign account, at 3{¢ below the prices named by holders. Themarket closed at thefollowing range ofprices: Mess pork, cash or seller October held at $15.00; do, seller December, $12.75; do, sellor January, S12.T5@12.8734 ; do, seller Feb- mnflr«lg'. nominal; do seller Merch, £12.874@12.90.

Flour was dull, and quoted easier, by some- the truth being, however, that it was firm at the decline which was not generally admitted yester, day. The demand wae principally locsl, there being very little inquiry for shipment. Sales ware reported of 50 brls white winter extras at $10.00; 80 do at $9.87%¢; 25 do at $£7.00; 100 on private terms ; 100 brls spring extras (Orien- tel) at $6.75; 50 brls do ab $6.50; 200 brls do at $6.25; 150 do at 86,15 ; 100 do at£6.00 ; 200 brls on private terms ; 100 brls - superfine at $4,50 ; 100 doat 24.00; 75 do at £3.90: 100 brls rye flour on private torms ; 25 brls buckwheat flour 8t $7.50 ; 25 brls do at §7.40; 25 do at $7.00.

In consequence of the difficulty expected in moving the grain from Bufalo to the seaboard, several shipping orders were cancelled this morning, and the wheat that hsg' already becn purchased was thrown upon the® markef, msking it decidedly weak. Then speculative holders 2lso rushed in to sell, de- pressing the market still more. But these offer- mfi” were all taken quietly, and by the time the sellers had got through they found that more was wanted, which caused some of them o turn round, and buy too. Tong befors the end of+the session the feeling had developed into & regular short scare. Several parties were on the floor, professing that they wanted to buy for shipment, but there was little of that, when they had bought what they wanted the story was chaunged ; they were going to fill shorts. B to-morrow morning we shall not have muc more than 400,000 bu No. 2 spring here, and no one knows how many options to fll with it short eales have been very liberal during the re- cent decline, and there i8 only one week left in which to mettle up the October aeals, on which very few deliverics have been made as yet.

The attendance of Eastern buyers was an_sverage one, but nop interost was manifested on the part of any, and ‘although the offerings of desirable lots were limited to a few car-loads, the supp! exceaded the legitimate wants of the trade, ant prices were again weak and irre; » A bunch of choice smooth well-faited steers, averaging 1,898 Ibs, found a buyer at $6,00, but with this exception nothin% fatchea over £4,75, while with erhaps a half & dozen exceptions there were no ransnctions at over $3.75. Stockers, for whicl beretofors, there has been a good demand af seemigo rices, were to-dsy dull and nearly 250 per 100 Ibs lower, the best not being wanted at over £4.00, while $3.50@3.75 bought really good droves. Texas and Clicrokens wera tha only descriptions for which the market exhibited u‘z:ty animation, or for which former prices were real- ized. Packers, feeders, and city butchers bought of these at $1.75@8.00 for through droves, snd at $9.00@425 for northern-fed, with most of the transfers at £8.00@38.50. Perheps a better ides cannot be given of the risks Fastern shippers are now incurring, -than by citing the experience of & Texas cattle drover, who & short time since srrived m'ch(cngg with 212 head, The prices offered here not being satiss factory, the cattle were reloaded and gent to Buffalo, where, after paying freight and other charges, they would not fetch as much as had been offered in thia market, The Albany market was then tried, but with no betier success, and they were fina.\.'ly disposed of in New Yorkat a net loss of $3,639.14. During the paat few day several droves have gene East in first hands, and the prospects are that tho owners will' fare little better than the one instanced above., The market closed dull and heavy, QUOTATIONS, Extra~—Graded steers averaging 1,400 s - $6.40@36.60 106 year old steers, 101,400 s, s @ooa SesvedWalitensd, el -fonied Meding OradsStdars in falr eeh aging 1,100 01,250 1.

As the day advanced, however, anad it became apparent that the receipts would 1all littls, if any, below 13,000 head, buyers grew nh{y, and insisted upon lower prices, concessions of 10@15¢ being asked. But buyers did not suc- ceed in forcing a decline until near midday, ‘when there was a break all along_the line, prices settling down fully 10c on allgrades. The lower sn‘nes prevalent during tho afternoon, hinwever, id not induce any material increase in .he de- mand, the market ruling dull and wesk to the close. The extreme range of prices was $4.20@ 4.70, but the closing rates were £4.20@4.80 for common ; 4.85@+.40 for medium, snd $£.45@4.55 for good to choice. We note the following: BOG BALFS.

T'ho 10RuniLg MTuwalion shont tha Tnmbar grog'pecta in the Baginaw Valley is from the aginaw Enlerprise : *““For some time it has been well known that logging operations in this gection the coming winter could not be on any- thmgelike the scale of last winter, The season has been an exceptional ono -in man: ects, and the principal of thede is the fact tgn(f,eig‘uugh the market has been unusually stiff throughont the entire 8awing season, prices of lumber have remained well up, the returns to the lum- bermen have not been in proportionto the vast ontlay last winter. - So many logs have been and are now hung up, that with mostlumbermon operations like those of last winter would be simply impossible. - But if this were not the case, logging operations this widter would of conrse be restricted by the fact that a very large part of & season’s cut i now in the streams or on the banks, and will not come down for saw- ing this year. It is estimated that in the streams which send their logs to the Baginaw River there are pot less than from 300,000,000 to 350,000,000 feet of logs which will not be cat thia year, Of course this large amount will go far toward making up Doxt yoar's stock, so_that if the work in the woods this winter should be little more than half as productive as last win- tar, the stock in the spring would still be up to the wants of the mills. & consequence, al- thogh many gangs have already gone “to tha woods, the business of preperation is nothin, like that of ordinary years, Those who inten to lumber are nipuenfly in no h to get their men st work, having calculated their oper- ations on & comparatively small bagis. Menwho Izat winter cut 10,000,000 to -15,000,000 feet, are now laying in for from 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 Under these circumstances, and in the light of a1l that can be known thus early, we mayreason~ ably expect that the market will hold well up next year as it has this year.” MARINE INTELLIGENCE, PORT_OF CHICAGO.
