=] THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SA’[‘UR_DAY, OCTOBER 26, 1872. MGNEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. Frivax EVESING, Oct. 25, Tho prominent features of the money market remain subsfontially the eame as yesterday. There is not much pressure for accommodation, but the banks have refused so much paper lately that a large majority of would-bo borrowers have cometo the conclusion that it is useless to ask favors of the banks, and, when they have good paper, offer it in the strect, where 13§ and 2 per cent arostill the ruling rates. On collaterals money is to be had in the open markef at 12 to 15 per cent per annum. New York Exchange was quotable at about 55¢ per $1,000 discount for sales between banks to-day, though traneactions were not large. Asg has been remarked from time to time, the present stringency is not confined to Chicago, but provails nearly all over the country. It has not becn quite go severe in Cincinneti and St. Louis ss here, because the proportion of busi- ness to bank capital in those cities isless than jtis in Chicago, and consequently & pinch for money can be 2lleviated to a greater extent by the loznof bank capital. But in Cincinnati ibisstill very difficult to negotiato prime business paper in the open market at 12 per cent, 2nd in some cases much higher rates are paid. The St. Lonis papers say that the banks in that city are refus- ing large amounts of good paper which seeks th open market at high rates of interest. HIGH BAILROAD FREIGHIS. The recent Tisoin Eastward railway freights threatcas to stop the movement of cotfon up the Missiesippi River to St. Louis, and thence castward by rail. The paperaof that city fear that witkont a reduction of railroad freights the cotton from Memphis 2nd other points will all go_to market via Now Orlezns. The trade of cities is thus to o great extent at the mercy of railroed corporations.” In the case of Chicago, many of our own roads discriminae against this city 5o that the grain, cattle, and logs that shonld coms in here are thrown upon the Toledo & Wabash Road, in which 50 many of the rail- road magnates have lately become interested. STAMPS ON PROMISSORY NOTES. Trivial circumstances sometimes influence st resnlts. It Las been suggested by an nstern paper thet the stamp tax on promissory Dotes was o mean of encouraging & loose Wey of doing business. “‘To avoid the payment for 4 hes been the custom eimply to charge the goods, the customer agreeing to pay for them In thirly or sixty days, according to the terms of sale. 1f such an arrangement could be depended upon as certain to be carried ouf in good faith, there wonld be no objection to it; bubibhas been demonstrated that there are many men whose word is not ss good a8 their bond, and that many who have too much re- gard for their credit to allow their notes to go to protest, do not have emough regard for their sgreement to pey their debis when not convenient, if they have given no potes which can be used to their disadvantage. This naturally leads to delay, and introduces an element of uncertainty and’ distrust into trade, which is, to say the least, embarresing to the seller, while its effect upon the buyer can scarcély be characterized in any milder terms than 23 demoralizing.” ‘Whether the saving of the amount of the stemp has had 2s much influence 48 the Phila- detplis, paper imagines wo shall not endeavor 1o Eay, but it is at leastnot aninappropriate sug- estion for merchants in Chicago who may have alleri into_the habit, that the removalof the stamp tax is a good excuse for returning to the Dractice of Tequiring their customers to give their notes at 30 or 60 days for their purchases of goods. ————— REAL ESTATE.

Fropay EveNING, Oct, 25, The following were the receipts and shipments of the Jeeding articles of produce in this city during the past twenty-four hours; and for the corresponding date 2 year ago: TECETPTS, ERIFNENTS, 1872, | 1871 || 1872, | 1871 Flour, brls .. 4,057) 3,601 Wheaf, bu . 94,692| 206,958 Corn, bu .

The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock : 179 cars rhest: 191 gara end 1760 bu corn; 71 care oats ; 12cars 1y cars), 209,000 bu. The proposed new rales to govern the inspec- tion and sale of provisions, a8 recommended by the late Convention held at Cincinnati, have been posted on the bulletin board of our Cham- ber of Commerce, and will be submitted to the Board of Trade for action after having * hung the usual time.” These rales have been already published in our columns. _The news comes from Buffalo that the horse- diseaso almost suspends business, This is cs- pecially significent as contrasted with tho state- ment made yesterday, that the disease wasabat~ ing, and that the horses on the Erio Canal were not affected by it. We note a further advance in Erio Canal freights, to 18¢ per bu on wheat, which is generally believed here to be a conse- quence of the horse disense. This advance on the canal is accompanied by & decline in lake freights to-day, due to light re- ceipts of grain, and the presence of a greater number of grain-carrying vessels in port. But even this glvea little reliof. Including storage charges, the cost of moving grain from Chicago to New York, without counting charges in the Intter city, are still 34 on corn, and $7c on wheat. Corn sold to-day on our Exchange at 293¢c, making tho cost of transporting to tho eeabonrd 115 per cent of the selling price here. With such high freight rates it may seem very strange that New York and Liverpool should dé~ cline with Chicago, as one drop is principally a consequence of increesed cost of transportation. But, as is generally the case, this point is lost sight of. ** Lower in Chicago,” i8 accepledas a reason for a decline elsewhere, without a thought of the truth, Indeed, Eastern dcalers would sesm to be even weaker than those of the West Some of them are sending orders here to go short at present prices, to very largd amounts, and this tends to s still further shrinkage here, as the volumn of offerings is_thereby rendered ‘much in excess of the diminished demand. The leading produce markets wereagain rather quict to-day, and breadstuffs were geacrally Jower, though receipts are small for this season of the year. We have slready slluded to the prominent cause of this, as being increased freight charges, making it difficult to get rid of the property. To this muat be added the stringency of. the mouey market, which makes it difilenit for ordinary operators to carry produce, and leaves the burden to be borne by but & few, while the othera instinctively, or from neces: sity, range themselves on the bear (ghort) side. Hence, it i8 one_apainst twenty, and the weak- ness thus produced in the West is being re- flected all over the civilized world, There was a good demand for staple and fancy groceries at unchanged prices, though in coffecs and refined sugars an_early advsnce_is looked for, prices here being lower than at the East. The dry goods market presented no new features worthy of note. Business continues satisfactor- ily uctive, and the prevalent feeling is one of firmness. Inthe butter and cheese market, a Tair degree of activity was witnessed, with littlo or no variation in prices. Cosl remains firm at the quotations. Fish met with & good inquiry, Dried fruits remain quiet. The hay snd hide markets were without change, the demand con- tinuing light, and frieaa remaining weak and unseitled. Oils, leather, tobacco, and wood ruled steady = as _ previously quoted. A very satisfactory businees was transacted in lumber, y_asterdmg‘a ;Lmes being fully sustained. ‘The demand for brick, lime, cement, &c., is un- abated, and s firm fecling in all materials is noticeable. Irom, tin, copper, and zinc con- tinue active and steady at yesterdsy's quota- tions. Dealers report a betfer feeling in the wood market. Advices from the Tast indicate & ‘more active businees before long. Hops are not. ‘materially changed. The demand is light, end 5 81 cars barley. Totel (474 Teceipts ample. We quote Wiscouin at 15@30c.. Salt continues in good de- mend, and the market i3 very firm on acconnt of liiht stocks and high freights. Seeds were in better request to-day ; strictly prime timothy quoted at $2.95@8.02}4; clover, £5.00@5.25; flax, $1.50. The offerings of game were not large, and better prices were obtained. Venison quoted at 16@20c, Poultry is very dull, there being little or no inguiry. "Eggs are week at 22@23c; the market is amply supplied. Potatoes are not materially changed ; choice va- rieties meet with a good inquiry at 45@55¢c for peach-blows; and early rose, mixed lots, are very dull and in great abundance. All kinds of fruit were active, and full prices generally ob- tained. } Highwines were strong at yesterday’s outside quotations, but quict, a8 few were willing to pay the advance based upon 89¢ _in Cincinneti, ‘Wwithout & corresponding rise in New York. Sales were limited to 150 brls at 89¢ per gallon. Lake freighta were more active, but ata fur- ther decline of Ic per bu to Buffalo, while Can- adian rates were firmer. There were more ves- sels offering, and the advauce on Erie Canal freights, with the weakness in New York, made shippers hold off for conceasions. A totalof 14 charters was reported, which will carry out 190,- 000bu wheat, 120,000 bu corn, 70,000 “bu barlev, and 20,000 bu rye. Rates closedat 15¢ for wheat, and 14c, for corn, to Buffalo; 19¢_for wheat to Kingeton, Wheat was taken to New York, on through rate, at38c; and wheat to Oswego by seil af 21c. Provisions were quiet but steady. Hogs were again reported dull at the Stock Yards, the weather continuing too warm for packing oper- ations, which csuses city buyersto hold off, while shippers find it difficult to procure cars. Henoe, buyers of product hold off, but sellers were not numerous, and made no effort to trans- act business. The feeling in provisions seems tobe strong, though quiet, as there is & proba- bility that we shall commenco the reguler pack- ing ‘season nearly at the hottom of the scale. Some of those who have canvaesed the situation carefully eay that our hog supply this winter will be considerably less than last season, as many of the farmers were diggusted by the low rices of a year ago, and have raised ess hogs, while our summer _receipts baeve been unprecedentedly large. They say, too, that there will be an extraordinary deman for meats from all over Europe, 88 prices are low, and the wbrking clasges of the old world were never so well able to buy pork products s now. They anticipate that there will not be much pork packed this sereon, 28 webave a large gnmmy of old pork on hand, end the European lemand is more decidedly for meats qvery year. Hence the inquiry for mess pork for futuro de- livery, which 18 sprin;;mg up in_some quarters, is based on the belief that it will be in relatively emell supply, and therefore bring good prices. e pork to-dey was inactive; lard quiet; meats in good demesnd, with an especisl good inqury for green hams, The market closed at the following rango of prices: Mess pork, cesh or seller October held b $15.00; do, seller Docember, $12.75; do, seller January, $12.75@12.873¢ ; do, seller Feb- ruery, nominal; do, eeller March, S12.873{@ 12.90, Lerd, cash 7%@78{c for winter; do, seller December, 15@73c; do, seller Jenuary, 73{@7%c; do, seller Februaly, Sc; summer rendered, 75%c; dry sslted shoulders, 6@6Xc; ehort vibs, 10@103¢c; other escriptions en- tirely nominal, Sweet pickled hems, nominzl 2t 1134@12}e, and green Lams firm at SL@8JC for presont delivery ; 81¢@83¢c seller November; E@ap}{c geller December. ~ Gresn shoulders, £3/@33¢c; do, ehort ribs, To.

Flour was dull and easier. There was gome in- quiry for low grades for shipment, but buyers generally held off for lower prices than holders would nceept, though the lsiter were willing to make conceseions In view of the yenkness in wheat. Buckwheat was again lower. Bran was firm, Sales were reported of 50 brls whito win- ter extras (Mcgnolir) at £10,00; 25 do at £9.25; 195 do at $7.00; 500 brls spring extras (Oricntal) 2t $6.75 ; 150 brls do (Minn.) at £6.50 ; 100 do at £6,00; 100 do ab$6.75; 400 do ab £5.65; 100 do at £5.6234; 50 do at $5.00; 100 do at $4.50; 800 do on private terms; 50 brls buckwheat flour 4t §7.95; 75 do (Eaxly Riser) at £7.95; 100 do at $7.00. Totsl, 2,725 brls. Also 20 tons bran at £10.00 on track, N Wheat was only moderately active, and_again weak, declining 1}{c, and sveraging fully e Tower than the lowest price touched yesterdsy aflernoon. The longest options were the weal est, the guotations for this month’s delivery be- ing kept up by the fact that thero aro many shorts to be filled within the compass of mext weel. Some of them were filled to-day, and, in- deed, the trading was largely in gcnfeman , 88 thore are comparatively few who care to call margins now, in_the present condition of the money market. Thers was, however, a better shipplng demand for all grades except No. 1 spring—probably due to the expectation of a further decline in freight, and, perhaps, owing to the fect of light receipts, which some think indicates thct the farmers are unwilling to ship to us at present low prices. There may be something in the latter reason, but it is undeniable that our receipts would have been much larger in the pastif cars could Lave been obtained to transport the wheat bither, and & good.deal is yst lying back at the ways;du stations awaiting cars. _An accident on the line of the Northwestern has lessened re- coipts over that rond; they will be in by Moa- day ot ferthest. The reporis from Liverpool and New York were very discouraging to holders to-day, and many operators wera taken by sur- finea at the announcement by the Agriculiural ureau that the wheat crop of the United States is larger this year thsn last. A great many had reckoned on a deficit of 6@8 per cent. Seller November opened at 31.053¢, advanced to 21.06, foll to $1.043f, advanced to S1.05%, snd fell to 81.05@1.05% at the cloge. Seller the month, or regular No. 3 spring, sold at $1.0614@ 1.08, closing relatively firm at $1.07}¢. Seller December sold at £1.05@1.06%¢, and seller the year ot SL.043/@1.05¢¢. No.1 spring was nom- inal at $1.14; fresh receipts of No.2 spring closed ot $1.08; No. 8 apring closed nt 96@ 9614¢, and rojected do at8ic. Cash sales were reported of 49,200 bu No. 2 spring at S1.081¢ ; 62,800 bu do at $1.08; 18,800 bu do &t $1.0737 ; 7,000 bu do at $1.073%; 5,000 bu do at-$1.07; 5,000 bu do at §1.063 ; 9,200 bu No. 3 spring at 963¢e; 10,800 bu do at 96c; 1,600 bu rejected spring at 84c. Total, 169,400 bu. Corn was rather more active, and quite irregu- lar. The market opened weak, and goon fell off 34@3%{c per bu under 2 heavy pressure to sell, born of a roported decline in Liverpool and New York ; then railied somewhat when it was found that the receipts of to-morrow would be light, and that lake freights were lower. These hrou%!ht out a slightly better shipping demand than has been witnessed for two or three days past, thongh the shipping movement of to-day was far from being 2. large one. Tho business transacted was principally speculative, and thet was largely in the way of settlement. The corn trade is now reduced to a very small scionce. Most_ of the monied operators who en- gaged in it this senson have lost their cash in tho constant “dropping that wears away a stone,” and it is now dealt in mostly by thoss who donot or cannot carry it, and so bandy it about hoping to meke an 34 on handling it. Tlhere is no inducement to ship at present prices, and seemingly but littfo hope of an advance. Seller November opened this morning 1% 80%e, ndvanced to 30%c, ond de- clined to 3034c 2t the cloge. Seller the month, orrogular No. 2, eold at 29}4@30c, closing at 293c. Seller December sold at S0@dlc strictly freeh receipts closed at 30J{c; and re~ jected at 2314c. Cash sales were roported of 11,600 ba No. 2 at 303/c ; 8,000 bu do at 305(c ; 26,800 bu do at 3014¢ ; 4,800 bu do at 303de; 1,600 budoat 30c; 80,000 bu do at 30c ; 35,000 bu do at 293¢c; 10,000 bu do at 293¢ ; 2,000 ba re- jected 2t 2337c ; 7,600 bu do st 23ic. Total, 136,400 bu. Oats were more active and weak, declining % @24 further, with elmost no demand, either for cash or future. The market opened steady, un- der high receipts, butfell off when New York was quoted lower ; both markets suffering, ap- parently, from the fear that the effect of tho widely prevalent horse disease will be to causea material diminution in the demend for consump- tion. Seller thomonth opened nominal at 2037, but declined to 20c at tho close. Seller Novem- er gold at 20%@21c, and seller December at 221 @228/c, ell closing weak.

Sales were reported of 4,400 bu No. 2 [ (gilt-ed%d Teceipts) at 5lc, and 400 bu do at 503¢c. Rejected Wwas nominal at 47@4734c. Barley was in good demand. and sgain 3c por bu hl;fher, being about the only thing on the Board that oxhibited greater firmness than yes- terday. There was a good inquiry for shipment, and o fair_speculative demand for No. 2, which 8sold at (3@635c seller the month, aud 60}¢@61c geller November.

CATTLE~The cattle trade continues dull, with ‘prices weak and unseitled. There was a fair inquiry for the better grades of Texas cattle, ‘but all other descriptions of stock were more or less neglected, and although prices underwent Do quotable ciange they were weak all around. In quality there was no noticesble improvement, the great bulk of the offerings, as for some tima past, consisting of thin Texans, and half-fat- tened natives. There was not “hoof” that would properly grade as choice, and barely a half dozen droves that would grade sbove me- dium. The highest figure obtained was 25.6234. A few carloads were taken at $5.00@5.50, but ‘most of the day's sales were offected st $3.00@ 4.95. Packers, city butchers, feeders, and ship~ pers were all in the market, and buying, but their wants were few, the sggregate of their urchases reaching onl; about 1,200 ead. The more mnotable trangactions were 171 hesd averaging 1,050 Ibs at $3,873¢, and 175 head averaging 1,048 Ibs at $3.373¢. Tha former drove was taken by Culbertson, Blair & Co., and the latter by Armour & Co., packers. Stoclk steers sold to a limited extent ot $2.75@ 4.00.
