6 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 95 igi HMONETARY AXD COMMERCIAL. MONETARY. TrURSDAY EVENTNG, Oct. 24, Inquiries made of several couniry bankers who were in the city to-day, result in the infor- mation that, during the last week, money bas become somewhat essier in some parts ci_ tl.!e surrounding country, particularly in the Illinois River valloy and towards the central parts of the Stete, where the farmers heve sold & good many hogs and cattle. Someof the banks in those zections {hat have been applicants for accommo- dstion at city banks here, scem to hzve_ got over ihcir necessity for it and are incrensing their ‘balances with their correspondent here. This is Zof et the condition of the conntry banks gen- erally, but as far as it goes, i8 favorable to an easier condition of the money market here be- fore long. Wo cannot learn that there is sny improvement in the collections -of city merchants from’ country customers, but there seems reason to expect that such will be the caso within a week or 5o ab most. At present prices of produce, .hogs and cattle in the country, it cannot be expected thet trade will be very flourishing or money very flush this ~winter, and it seems probable that money will be comparatively stringent the remsainder of the year. But within the next few weeks pork Packera will begin to disburse large sums in the conntry, and the money will soon find its way back into'the hands of the city merchants, to tho relief of the money market here. But, for the present, money con- tinues etringent, and good commercial paper sells at 134 to 2 per cenb in the open market. The prossure for funds has_ceused considerable amounts of local stocks of banks, city railways, etc., ctc., to be thrown upon the market, and it is safo to say that the average decline on these during the last . two weeks has been from 2 £o 4 per cent. Many of them are stocks thatare seldom offered for sale at all. = XKew York exchange s0ld between banlks to-dey =1l the way from 75¢ to 81,25 per 21,000 disconnt. As explained yesterday, this is not the normal price of exchange, but representa the searcity of funds of any kind hero at present. Most of the banks cennot aford to weit the four days neces- seryto send tho exchange to New York and bring currency back, and when any of them takos large amount of New York bills thoy are obliged to realize on & portion of them at once. NATIONAL VS. STATZ BANES. Wo learn that parties who had co nemplated the organization of a new National Bank in this city (the ** Mercantile”) heve abandoned tho ides, and now propose to mako it a State Bank. The ‘monopoly of National Bank circulation is under- stood to be one causo of the change, though the principal one is believed to be the freedom from ihe restrictions of the National Banking system. Since the new Constitution of this State cut off the xm}lply of the old-fashioned india-rubber special charters, there has been considerable de- mand for them in this city where the increese of ‘benking busivess induces the orgenization of more banks, Under authority of & law passed last winter by the Legislature for this changing of numes and locations of banks, a good many special charters for banks in other parts of the Stuto are being bought, and new banks with new names being organized in this city. But there is at least a question 28 to whether this whole proceeding is not illegal. In article XI, section 5, of the New Constitution, under the head of *“Banks,” it is provided that ““No act of the General Assembly, suthorizing or creating corporations or associations with bank- ing powers, whether of issue, deposit, or dis- count, sor amendments thereto, shall go into eifect or bein force unless the same shall be submitted to a vote of tho people at the next general election.” The law psssed last winter s o genersl amendment to all existing special charters, and the question is: _does it mot re- quiro a vote of the people befora it can bs con- gidered in force? While we do not wish to throw obstacles in the of the organization of either State or Na- nal Banks in’ this city, it must be admitted that the National Bank system is the best and enfest of the two for the people. It requires the Leeping of & certain emount of Teserve elways on hand, and a deposit of bonds with the. Treas~ arer at {vashington, which are more than secur- ity for the circulation iesued against them, the ‘margin being indirectly a security to the depo- itor, and requires from time to time sworn state- tnents, showing the condition of the banks. None of these things are required of State Banks; Zhey run 23 they please, and nobody but their own officers kepows whether they have -much or little of their depositors’ money on hand, or whereitis. Onthe other band, the National system is better for the bankers themselves, if they propose to do business on a sound and le- gitimate basis, from the fact that it tekes less capitel to give & bank the same preatige as a National Bank than as a State Bank, and thero aro only a few ipstances in this City in Which public confidence is perfect in the amount of ac- tual capital, and in the management of institu- tions doing a commercial bs g business un~ der State charters. At present the monopoly of National Bank cir- culztion, in this State, operates to discourage the organization of more National Bankes. There i8 no way to remedy this until Congress meets, but then the repeal of all the laws for the distribution. of circulation to any part of the country ought to be repealed, oz, better still, all restriction on tfo volume of National Penk circulation removed, provided the greer- backs are made fundeble at the plezsure of the holder into bonds at a low rate of interest. Under such provisions, the volume of National Bank circulation wauld certain increase, but the volume of greenbacks would not diminish anless there was & plethora of currency. THE BUMOR ABOUT CERTIFICATES. The sckeme mentioned in our Washington despztches ® this morning of banks, whether State or National, issuing certificates of deposit resembiing bank mnotes in their appearance, would be simply an evasion of all existing laws on bank circulation, and {here is no possible <hance of its being allowedto be put into prac- tice. w COTTOY PLOSPECTS. erday we called attention to the fact that #he prosperous condition of the cotton intorest in the South would probebly make a market for larger guantities of Western breadstuffs end Drovisions. This assumption is borne out b the October roport of the Agricultural Deparf- ment upon the condition of the cotton crop, in ich ‘the statement is made that the crop, ~whilst below an average, is yet 6 per cent better in condition, and 18 per cent great = in acreage than the crop of last year. Im 1871 there were. 7,711,199 zeres planted in cot- fon, yielding 2,974,351 bales. If this Ecar's crop bears. ous the Department re- port, the acreage is 8,636,504, which, at the samo Iato'as last year, will yield 3,383,293 bales; wrhile, as the condition is reported fo be 6 per cent better than last year, the increased yield will bring the aggregate up to 3,538,500 bales. Thia vesr's crop 18 Leing marketed ot an eatlier period than usual. The receipts of the current colton year are now mach larger than those of Jast year, and are even ahead of 1870 at this dato, alihough the crop of that year was 4,847~ 000 beles. Various causes produce this, season is threo weelks earlier than usual ; thera is good weather for picking ; great pressuro ox- ists to turn the crop into money on the part of nll the interests involved ; nnd thereis o good derand for cotton. THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE, which held an unusually brief session, and ad- journed on Saturday, the 19th, passed some sen- gible resolutions which ought to attract the at- tention and cnliet expressions of sympathy from every part of the United States. “A resolution wae edopted in favor of the abolition of the usury lawa; another declaring that the late Te- duction of customs duties has benefiled both producer and consumer; another recommending Congress to adopt measures unifying our coin Sollar with the coinege of other leading coun- tries ; another in favor of the construction of a free ship capal to connect the deep water of the DMiseissippi with the Guif of Mexico; and an almost unanimeus resolution memorializing Congress to adopt messures, in connection with {he Stato Department, for the negotiation of a treaty with Great Britain for reciprocal trade, on_ a liberal basiz. between the United States and Canada, Tinally it wes resolved that the National Board wof Trade urgently recommend the National Gov- ernment to take steps looking to the ultimate resemption of specie payment by the Govern- ‘ment aud banks, by such revision of the Nation- sl Danking system as experionce proves to be necessary for the cecomplishment of that end. EXPORT OF ANERICAN COAL. A Weshington %gper calls attention to the fach 4Lt orders avo been received in Georgotovn for Cumberland coal on Euglish account, the 2me to be shipped to the East and West Tadies end South America. This i8 the first indication of a portending change in the carrents of conl and iron movements. The Chesapeake & Ohio Riaiiroad, which will be open within a few weeks, siill be enabled to deliver the bituminous coals «of the Kanawha Valley 2t the seaboard ports at the seme or oven less prices than the Cumber- 1and coal, which must be hauled over the 116 fest grades of the Baltimore & Ohio line, Oan- remarl cord on Thars eration, §5,500. eration, £7,000, tion, $7,500, Tots, eration, §500. front, streat, south fr eration, £1,800. sideration, $3,5!

Present prices form no temp- tation to ths first holder to gell, because, unless he live very nesr the conntry station, tho money received for a load of corn or cats will not pay him for the trouble of bauiing it to the depot. And the effect upon our local Board of cannot be other than highly disastrous. Alrepdy the profits of members are eimmering down to a low point, and some of them ecarcely make enough to pay the rent for their magnificent new oftices, where thoy would be doing- & handsomo businees, if the farmer could realize aliving price for his property.

Wheat was_less active, and averaged 1o per bu lower, owing to general weskmces. Liver- ool was’ reported weak (by private ndvices), %ew York was lower, ead several lots were thrown upon our market by parties who have been operating for an advance for some time past, and wero finally obliged to let go, being unable to carry it euy longer. This, and the in- crease in tho cost of carrying to the sezboard, wers reasons enough for a decline, and would have produced a much more extensive drop, but for the general belief that all our whent swplus is wented in Europs, and that we can perd it-thero in the spring on much _cheapor froighting torms _than now. Wheat is very beavy at_ present, and very difficult to carry; but there are many who are enxious torun the riek of an advance, though the great majority of operators are undoubtedly bearigh in their tendencies. From this last named fact the bulla hrye argued most for a sharp advance, claiming that the mprket is lorge- Iy oyersold.

Toxas cattle were 858in in good demand, and notwithstanding tho large number on sale (abont three-fourths of the entira supply consisted of this foroign stock), former prices were sustained. Not only did packers and city butchers buy liberally, at o number of large droves were taken by shippers and feeders, and, with the exception of 5 few small lots, all of thig description of stock found purchosers. Among the large sales of the dsy may be meniioned 16f head avernging 830 lbs, at 83.871¢; 248 head averaging 1,042 Ibs, at $8.90; and 224 head, averaging 1,022 Ibs, et $3.50—bonght by Nelson Morris for the Eastern market. Mr. Morris also_bought & drove of 320 head, averag- ing 950 1bs at $2.60, which he will ship to Paoria, where thoy will be_fed in one of the distilleries of that city until next spring. During the present week he has purchased some 900 head for distillery feeding.

A HOGS—The hog trade exhibited more life than on yesterday or Tusesday, but this was the Tesult of the lower prices provalent, and wasnot dne to any logitimate increase in the demand.

Then, too, the scarcity of cars is beginning to be serionsly folt, and unless there shall bo s marked diming- tion in thoregeipts, or a change in the weather, 80 that packers can safely begin operations, it is difficult to conceive how a further depreciation in values can be avoided. Trading to-day was elow at an average decline of 10¢ from the prices current yesterday, & majority of the day’s sales being effected wi the range of 84.2y5@L35. The extreme range was £4.10@4.60.
