HE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1872. MONEY AND CORMERCE. MONETARY. WEDKESDAT EVENTNG, Oct. 30. The local money market is quiet, without much change in the supply of loanable funds, which is yet far from being equal to the demand. The increase in deposits has as yet been small, and, though the aggregate of loans has been de- creased some, the banks have felt the necessity of reducing them, in order to get back to 2 satis- factory condition, and have the proper reserve of cash onhand, in proportion to their lisbili- ties. Afier this, the increzso of deposits or de- crease of loans would be adirect increase of their ability to lozn. Collections continue to improve, and the chances are that in a few days the banks will beable to extend moreaid to merchants. New York exchange was scarce and higher to- itay, with gales botween banks st par. There appears to be less exchange making than unsuel, and the demand has at the same time increased. Merchants hero aro remitting to Esstern cities lergely, and the country banks are ordering con- siderable amounts to meet the demand at iheir counters for New York funds. . TSURY BY NATIONAL BANKS. A number of_cases are now swaiting the de- fiision of the l‘:“ offices Oefdthe Unite];l States 'ressury, in which aggrieved parties have ap plicd to Zho Comptrolier of the Curroncy to ok ercice tho power given him to wind up National Banks for violations of the provisions of the National Currency Act. In all, or nearly. all,'of these cases the charge is 3 The special penalty provided for this offence in Section 80 i loss of the whole interest charg- ed, and Liability to the aggrieved party for an ad- ditional sum equal to twice the amount of inter- est charged, which sum may be recovered in_an action of debt against the bank. But, in addi- on to this penalty paid to the individual, the tor of the Treasury has held in.provions s, that the Government demands snother penelty for the abuse of trust and violation of its confidence in the bank. This official opinion (un record 12, Int. Rev. Record 61) holds that a viclation of the provisions of Section 30, in re- gard to usury, subjects the bank to the forfeit- ure-of its franchises in accordance with Section 53. The dissolution of the association, bowever, must first bo decrced by a proper court. ‘Tho soverity of these penalties for in- fraction of alaw which is at variance with com- al nsage (for all umeury penaltiesare ab varienes with the epirit of commercial nsege) laws which there is_so much temptation to dis: regard because it is Imown their principle is wrong—is inducing many persons to make a sys- tematic business of prosecuting this particular class of claims against National Baunks. An instance of this is to be found in the eettle- went of the affairs of the half-dozen mercantile firms that recently failed in Baltimore. Itis uow found that the agzregate liabilities of these firms is nearly £5,000,000. In the selection of Trustees for at least two of these firms, the creditors have chosen gentlemen who have made & special reputation in former seiilements of the affairs of insolvent firms, by claiming and recovering from banks large smounts that had been exacted in excessive interest on loans. A Baltimore paper eays that, in connection With the winding up of the affairs of the suspended sirms in that city, some of the leading creditors ra lookini to what may be recovered from onal B: who have cherged excessive rates of interest to add to the assets of the house for tinal distribution. A ATOUT THE PUBLIC DEBT. Judge Richardson, Assistant Sccretary of the Trensury, has been giving his time lately to compiling a book of “ Information Concerning the Public Debt of the United States, with the National Banking Laws, for Banks, Bankers, Brokers, Bank Dircctors, and Investors.” Among other information, e says in regard o the NEW BONDS. ‘Two hundred million dollars of the 5 per cents have siready been negotiated ; but as yet none of the 4 per cents and 43 per cents have been iesned. These ave the only loans now offered for sale by the Government. All others, having long since been closed, are being reduced 28 rapidly a8 the surplus revenues, the money ob- tzaned from the gale of the new bonds, and the cein in the Treasury will permit. The reduc- tion of the public debt for the three years last past hos been at the rate of about £109,000,000 & year; and the proceeds of the sale of the funded loan, which can be used to redeem the five- twenty bonds, and not to_increese the public debt, bave still further reduced the amount of bonds bearing six per cent. interest. Under the head of FRACTIONAL CURRENCY the Assistant Secrotary says: ** Within the $50,- 090,000 limited by each of the acts of 1863 and 1864, the amount Lept in circulation is Geterm- ined wholly by the wants and demands of the ‘public, who, it appears, require fractionsl curren- cy in the proportion of about one dollar to each habitant of the country. The amount in cir- cnlation rarely goes above that proportion, mak-_ ing proper allowance for lost and destroyed” notes, and when it falls much below, & scarcity i sensibly felt throughout the country.” The Assistant Secretary insists that the 844,- 00,000 of United States notes rotired by Secre- tary McCulloch created A RESERVE FUND to thet amount, which'the present Becretary is at liberty to use whenever - he shall deem it necessary, and he cites several instances in which M. Boutwell hes exercised that privilege. MOVEMENTS OF SPECIE. London papers of recent dates give s sum- mary of the specie movements in Great Britain in the first three quarters of the year to the 1st of October: The imports of gold amounted to £18,674,395, showing = decrease of nearly two millions 83 compared with - the corresponding period of the_ precoding year, and the exports of gold ~mmountsd to Z16510,500 an incresse of three and & half mil lions. The imports of silver amounted to £8,562,085, & decrease of nearly three millions, snd the exports of silver amounted to £7,865,- 839, & decreasc of above a million. The export of gold in the nine months exceeded the import by nealy £850,000, and the import of _silver ex- ceeded the export by nearly £700,000. Above en millions of gold arrived from the United tes. The import of gold from Australia de-. clined from £5,000,000 in the first three quarters cf 1871 to £4.500,000 inthe corresponding period of 1872, Gold was exported chietly to Germany (£5,000,000), South America, Sonth Africa, ant Partugal. “I'hechief imports of silver were from the United States (£3,500,000), South Americs, rnd Germany; aund the "export of silver was chiefly to India, to which above four millions and a half went. Tor last month, the movement of gold from the United States to Great Britein was very light. Partof the operations of the cliques in New Tozk, Jast month, was to loen bills of exchange cn London, in order, first, to use their credit to depress the price of gold and get control of what cash gold there was in the market, and, second, to put up the price of both exchange and gold. e Ranke of Montreal was the principal operator in this scheme, and in winding its operations in this instance i8 now shipping_ gold to London to meet its large drafts on its London ?ency which were loaned out in New York. On Satur- day last the Bank of Mlontreal shipped a million of gold from New York, and will probably ship more this weel. LOCAL STOCE AND BOND IARKET. Messrs.

WeDNESDAY EVENING, Oct. 30, The following wero the receipts and shipments of the leading articles of prodace in this city during tho past twenty-four hours; and for the corresponding date a year ago: DECEIFTS, SHIPSENTS, 1671, || 1872, | 1871, Flour, brls . 4545 5,646 2,176 Whest, bu | 42,355!1 99,003).... 0. 92,915(| 270,063 69,438 30,750|| 86,351 40,617 L8l 4,000, eo0l| 79,005 36T g,20| 25,310] 49,528 1,0001| 175,100'...... .. 105'960]| 72,000/ 89,600 27,870, 210,00 152,750 T140)| ~ 600 1,840 B 155| 164,915] 104,232 5 3, o) 443 "oag - 2,190 VWithdrawn from store yesterday for city con- sumption: 8,733 bu wheat, 2,619 bu corn, 7,759 bu oats, 252 bu rye, 11,632 bu barley. The following grain has been ilispected into store this morning up to 10 o'clock: 233 cars wheat, 214 cars and 17,000 bu corn, 61 cars oats, T carsrye, 102 cars barley. Total (517 cars), 260,000 bu. It was suggosted to-day that the only wey to return to something like paying prices for corn and osts would be to stop the supplies from tho country fora few dsys. Thero is no doubt that this plan would be effectual if it were only praclicable. Chicago is simply loaded down, nud thero is not mohey enongh at command to carry ihe grain on high prices, while the car- riers tako advantage of the situation to impose Ligh rates of freight that take away what little would otherwise be left for the first owner. If the receipls could be reduced to zero, or near it, for a few days, the price of freights would drop so much that shippers would Le able to clear out our elovators, and make room for the receipts of winter; in which case there would be a chance of better prices when receipts were resumed. Our receipts are now light when compered with what thoy would be if prices were more encouraging to the farmer ; but they are still too large to admit of a decided advance unless our stocks could be reduced. ‘While we state the case thus, we concede that it would be impossible, and perhups unwise, t0 or- ganize to this end, snd _the_ result desired could certainly notbe gained without organization. It i probable that if prices should recede a little further there would be an almost complete cessation of supplies, because prices are already down to a point where it searcely pss the farmer to haul the grain to the depot. Itis reported that they are already burning the corn for fuel, in many parts of Iowa, and, unless there should be 4 marked improvement, we may Took for & general resort to this mode of loasen- ing the rigors of winter and the plethora of crops. But by that time our lake will be closed to navigation for the winter, and high railroad freights will be the rule; =0 that the producer can scarcely look for substantial relief before the coming spring. THE MABEETS. The leading produce markets were moderately active to-day, and the average of prices W&s somehat higher, though the markets werefar from being strong. Receipts were rather larger than hiad been expected, and the shipping move- ment was light, in comuarison wngx what it ought o have been. Hence the trading in the majority of departments was principally specn- lative, contingent on the near approach of the st of December, when, and before which, & great many options must be settled. ‘The only noticeable change in the grocery mar- kot was the development of an easier feeling in rice, a 3{c docline being reported in all grades. Eu%::s continue firm, with a tendency_to still higher prices. Byrups, coffees, teas, and spices were in good request at yesterday's quotations. No change occurred in the dry goods market. Business was quiet, with prices steady and firm. In tho butter and cheese markets thero was con- and former quotations were well sustained all around. Bagging wasin light request 2t the quoted prices. Coal was firm af the late advance. The fish trade was reported setisfactorily active, and prices were gerorally firm. No. I'mackerel were 25c per half-barrcl higher, with which exception guotations wero Sithout change. Hay was quiet. Hides were dull and wesk. Leather ruled steady. A very satisfactory business was transacted in lumber to-day, former prices being sustained. TThe price of common brick has again receded to £12.00 per m, caused by the large au:fi%us in the ‘hands of manufacturcrs and the falling of in demand, as the season sdvances. Cooperage rules quiet and steady. Tin, copper, iron, &c., were active, and prices unchang ‘Wool is in better demand Eflek, and the market a shade firmer. . Hops are in fair request among brewers for immediate consumption. Sslt active and firm at present rates. Seeds were very quiet and without quotable change. Tolatoes in lib- eral supply and choicevarietios in demand. Ap- ples werein good request and firmer; car lots range - from £2.00@2.40; sales irom_store, $2.00@8.00 per brl. Other fruits continue to meet with a good inqairy at previous prices. Highwines were in good request and firm, at the prices of yesterday, New York being quoted stron%:r, though quict. Bales were reported of 800 brls at 89¢ per gallon. Lake freights were less active, and 1¢ higher to Buffalo, carriers insisting on the advance, while the number of shippers who were willing to pay it was relatively few. Rates to lower lake ports were quoted unchanged. A total of ten chartera was reported, which will carry out 75,- 000 bu wheat, 35,000 bu corn, 23,000 bu Tye, and 45,000 bu barley. Rates wero 13¢ on corn, and 1ic on wheat to Buffalo. Corn was taken to Os- wego at 181¢c. Provisions were dull, with little change in prices. The continued mild weather causes the supply of hogs to be light, and the packers to remain idle; hence the melers of new prodnct are not anxious to sell, while buyera are unwil- }mg to take hold excopt at further concessions. C1d mess pork is unchanged, and was apparently active, sale of a large lot for shipment beiny, re- ported. New mess was inactive, with no change except an easier fecling in seller January. Lard was dull and _steady, with g little more ilrmness for March delivery. Meats were weaker on old, and unchenged on new, with very little inquiry, The market closed at tho following range of prices: Mess pork, old held at $15.00; new porkr, 814.00@14.25; do, seller December, §12.6217@12.75; do, _seller January, S12.50 @12.6234; do, seller February, nominal; do, seller Afarch, 912.60 : do, seller April, $12.80@ 12.85.

New York was reportod steady, and the decline on canel (Erie) and Ocoan freights more than compensated, for the extralc demand by carriers on the lakes. This made our market firm, though the shipping demand did not amount to much, and was prin- cipally for the lower grades. There was a bet- ter tnquiry from the short interest for this month, many of whom have held off hitherto in the belief that large reccipts, and 20c Icke Ireights would reduce tho market here to $1.00 by the close of October. They now find that it still bears up, ond _decided to buy to-day in _such npumbers as to cause an-ndvance.

PETROLEUAL & N Peter Wright & Son, of Philadelphin, write as follows : In {he regions petroleum has remained steadr, at about former prices, The thirty days stoppage ends on the 27th of this month, and, on the following dey, ork will most likely bo resumed, it being the general opinion now that the rumor of another thirty days’ suspension does not deserve much credence, Groat anxiety is manifested by thoso interested to sce whetler the stoppage has injured the wells in any way, In those districts which have been worked for some time, it is very much feared that many of the wells will be found to be overrun with water, but there is much less appreliension expressed sbout those more Tecently sunk on improved principles, and properly cased. Ow- ing to the present large and steady reduction of stocks in the oil regions, it is reasonable to expect that the next returns will necesgarily be more accurate than those hitherto issued, and_ghere ore fair grounds for supposing that, 8s 1o adequato allowance seems, S0 far, to bave be¢n mado for the accumulation of B, 8. or heavy oil at the bottom of tho tanks, and guite use- lees for refining purposes, it may be found that, for some time past, stocks huve been cousidersbly over- estimated. _According to latest advices from the Creek, we quote Upper Creck, $3.90@8.92i¢; Lower Creek, $4,00@4.05 ; Parker’s Landing, $4,00@4.05.

Tho light receipts had the effect to partially restore the confidence of buyers, and all classes opersted with rather moro freedom, but the wanta of the trade were not of that ur- gent character that would justify holders in sisting uf:n any advance in prices, and, save in. 8 few isolated cases, no advance was gained, The supply on sale ‘was large, the number of Btafe cattle in tho pems falling Lt tle below 5,000, and as the offcrings were mainly of the poorer sorts, such 2s cows, half-fattened steers, and Texas cattle, holders were only too glnd of an opportunity to realize, even at the low prices current earlier_in the week. Thero were 1o extra beeves on sale, and values are of course simply nominal. The few car loads of choice steers offered, found buyers at £5.75@6.00--the outside gquotation being obtained by Gregory, Strader & Co. for 45 head, averaging 1,813 Iba. With perhaps o half dozen exceptions, nothing fetched over $5.00, while the great bulk of tho transfors wero at prices ranging dovnward from 84.00. Packers, foeders, city butchers, and shippers were in the market, and between these interests some 2,500 head taken. Stock steers ‘werein good request, and numerous £ales were re- ported—chieflyat £3.25@4.00 for mediumtogood thrifty lots of from 850 to 1,050 Ibs average. The merket for this class of stock may be quoted steady, at $2.60@2.75 for thin rough Iots of from 700 to 800 Ibs average; at $3.00@8.25 for medium grades averaging from 800 to 900 Ibs, and at $8.50@4.00 for fair to Eund grades aver- aging from 900 to 1,050 1bs.

LRpmome a i 'HOGS—The receipts of hogs since Saturday have been 11,27, against 26,664 for the same eriod last week, and 85,615 week before -last. %winv to the meager recainta of the vast three days, - gellers . have been_!nnhled to work mp prices to the extent of 25@30c per100. Ibs, an advance of-10@15c- having b_een"gaubhahed to-day. The effect of this **spring " in themar- ket will undoubtedly be to induce largely in- creased receipts toward the closoof the present and during the ensuing week, and a retum to the Iow prices current at the close of last -week will be the almost ie.itable result. Certain commission men._ (with wiom, by the by, it is & custom under eimilar circumstances) have been sending telegrams all over tho West, advising country- men of the advancein prices, snd telling them to “gend in the hogs.” This advice , ina majority of- instances, be followed, and con- sequently a mejority of the sh;gsm who may rench this market next weel ill in all prob- ability meet with losses. e market opened fairly active this morning, and' continued so throughont, or until the middle of the afternoon, by which time the pens were empty.

In joist and scantling prices de- clined about 85c; common boards and_strips, ‘were quoted a trifle Jower.

Country buyers were in fair attendance, their demand being chiefly fencing and building ma~ terial. A great effort has been made by the sel- Jers, the past week, to conceal the condition of the market from tlie public, and only two firms had the pluck to record their gales in the sales k; 28 naual, during this week, there were no eales recorded yesterdny.

Onthe man’s left hand, between the thumb and finger, was a_star, on the left arm the letters 7. U. N., 1845, wero pricked into the skin with blue ink. —The steam barge Holland was, by a rise of water and by preity strong pulling, got afloat day before yesterday morning. She arrived at Detroit ‘in the afternoon. Although leaking freely it is not thought that her cargo has sus- tained any damage. ~About 200 bushels of corn ‘was thrown overboard,while a considerable quan- tity was put on board' a_lighter. The Holland will go immediately into dry dock for re- pairs. —The harbor at Goderich, Ont., for which the Dominion Government a year or twosince grant- ed o large sum to make it a place of shelter for vessels in times of great peril, is, according to information strictly reliable from that place, go- ing to destruction.” The contractors for building the new harbor have made but litile advance~ ment, while in the meantime the old entranco has become sadly dilapidated. Some of the warehouses ara in danger of heing washed into the lake, and in short 1t is by no means s safe place for any of our shipping to visit in bad ‘weather, as was formerly the case. —The northeast gale haa 15t abated on Lake Erie, and neazly the entirc flect reparted weath- er-bonnd at the islands the middle of last week remain there yet. Captain Goldsmith, of the steamer Juy Cooke, reports at Kelley's Island the steam barges Sanilae, Colin Campbell, and ‘barges, Lady Franklin 20d barge, besides’ oth- ers, and numerous sail cratf. The steamer Rocket, which came via North Passage, reports seeing & forest of masts in Pidgeon Bay, all of ‘which were reported there a week ago. 1he do- Iays to the westward of this continue as hereto- foro roported. —The highway leading into Green Basy and through which & large number of steamera and vessels are continually passing, is one of the most dangerous localitics bordering on the lke. ely a week passes without a disasier of grenter or less msgnitude is recorded to the -shipping ot tht- point. The channel is compar- atively blocknded by numerous islands Imown as Grave, Poverty, Summer, Gull, Plum Rock, and other islands, besides dangerous shoals unseen, and bfllmy un- Inown. The Whale's Back is also laid down on the charts, on which the loss to the shipping within & short period past has been fearfully great, not to mention more or less loss of life. On several of these islands good lights have ‘been established for the guidance of the mariner, though in thick and foggy weather they are bat little available. - The Whale's Back lies under water, and is by far the most dangerous of all others. —The following list of disasters which occur- red dnring the lnte storm has been prepared and first publizhed in the Milwaukee Wisconsin, and includes 5 propellers, 1 tug, 3 barks, 1 bng, 47 schooners, 18 scows, 19 barges and others still to hear from.
