It is true this is not the first time he has exceedefl'hm suthority in this respect, but it is the first time he has done it so boldly and to such an extent. The public had supposed that if there was any- thing in regard tothe public debt that was settled, it was that the volume of grgenbacks ont- standing should nob exceod the $356,000,000, at which point Congress suspended further -con- traction. But, on Jan. 1, 1872, Mr. Boutwell had increased the amount outstanding to $357,692,~ 801. On the first of July, when there wasa plethora of money and no shadow of excuse for such inflation, the amount ourstanding was still $257,588,296, bub on Sept.1, when money had Degun to get stringent, ho hed reduced it to £356,056,152. In the first week of October near- 1y the whole of the present $4,500,000 unlawful iseme of greenbacks were put out again in & loen 10 & few favorite bankers in New York City. was done wit?nngfi the pub- lic Emowin; anything of it or 'hav- ing any \\'ngning. But now camo the crisis: ing 5% “Bontwell found he comld mot get his €4500,000 in again before the November debt statement was due, and straightway As- sistant Secretary Bichardson was set to work to educate the peopls up to the understanding that the 344,000,000 retired by Mr. McCulloch wasa ~¢ reserve fund” to be used at the option of the Secretary of the Tressury. Bub un- warrgated assumption did not seem to go down vwith the public. It was denounced by the press generally, and Mr, Boutwell next resorted 10 the dodge of getting meetings of merchants in the various citiesto ask for the reissume of 1he whole $44,000,000 of the so-called ‘* reserve fand.” There is now not a reasoneble doubt that the whole scheme of getting up the impres- sion that there was a popular de _ for more greenbacks originated with the Adminis- tration. Mr. Jay Cooke, who is paying 5 per cent cemmigsion fo nfienta to sell the Northern Prci- fic bonds, probably wants an increase of green- becks, and this accounts for the movement being’ started in Philadelphin. The whole scheme, however, was too transparent, and re- eulted in o dead failare. It has, Liowever, made it apparent that our national finances are con- trolled by speculators and demagogues who would sacrifice any principle for theadvancement of their pereonal fortunes. The local money market showed s tendency toward relatation during the most of the week, but to-dey there were indications of tightening up again. The demand for loans was greater, while the sbility of the banks to len hes been increased but little. Currency is still coming in from the country pretty freely, but the depositors turn it into New York exchange at once, and remit eastward, 80 the movement causes no considerable accumulation of loanable funds here. Some of the banks are reducing their discount lines now, preparatory to extend- ing them again to meet the demands of the pork-packers. This helps to make money little more stringent than it would be other- wise. New York exchange i8 less abundant than o few days 8go, and the price Las advanced.

The following grain has been inspecied into weck ending with this morning, and for other weeks ending as dated: i3 in eonsequence of the prevalence of the horse-dis- ease, is much more general than was thought possible a day ortwo ago. The coaldealers have stopped delivery, as arnle, to which there aroa few exceptions. Many of the wholesale grocers and dry goods merchants have also ceased for the nonce, pending the arrival of ox-teams, which have Deen engaged in the country, and will be here shortly. We shallnow have a chance toreturn to first principles in trade, the ox be- ing the real pioneer of domestic animals, in clear- ing the forests and tilling the soil. Nay more; our word “ pecuniary ” is said to bederived from the word pecus, cattle, the head of an ox being the symbol stamped upon our first moneys. A notico posted upon the Board of Trade bulletin board to-day, informs the public that all towing tenms are now withdrawn from the Illi- nois & Michigan Canal. This puts an embargo on receipts of stone, coal, and grain by that gource, except. a3 three or four steam barges may be able to bring in their small quota of ma-~ terial. It is also expected that deliveries of gam at country stations will be much lighter an heretofore, as the fermers will take extra care of their stock, and will not want to run the risk of exposure. But the country depots ara generally well supplied with in, 80 ‘that our receipts will not show a considerable diminution from this cause in the near future.

They contained 2,865,425 centals, or 4,775,700 bu, valued in San Francisco at $4,779,161. THE MAREETS. The prodnce markets were generally active to- day, and most of them were stronger, as a con- sequence of wet weather and the horse epidemic, which is expected to decrease tho receipts of produce, though the eame fact will also reduce our_{facilities for geiting rid of our present stocks. The shipping movement was quiet, ow- ing to a Ecarcily of vessels; but for this, the grain markets would robnbiy have been even stronger. As it was, they generally eased down towards the close. The grocery trade was ver quiet, and in prices few changes were reporte 8 34c advance in star candles being the only al- teration worthy of note. Sugarscontinued scarce, and are strong at the advance established earlier in the week. Coffees are more quiet andless firm. Rice, teas, spices, andsoaps were quoted steady. A fair amount of trading was done in the dry goods market, and former prices were well sus- tained all around. The butter and cheese mar- Lets were only fairly active. _ Tocal and outside 'hugm were operating at 7@26¢ for the former, and at 13%@16c for the latter. Inthe coal mar- ket very little business was transacted, dealers refusing to make deliveries. Prices remain nom- inally unchanged. In the fish parket there ‘were no changes to note. Desl reported & fair demand at the quoted prices. Dried fruits remain quiet with but slight variation in prices. Hay was dull and weak at the reduction noted yesterdsy. Hides remain inactive at 10%/ @104¢ for heavy, and ab 113{@11%0 for light green cured. Nonew features were developed 1in connaction with the leather, oil, tobacco, or ‘wood markets. Lumber was fairly 2ctivo, form- er prices being fully maintained. - Building ma- terials continue to meet with a fair demand. Common brick is 8 ghade easier, but prices ars without quotable change. Cooperage was in moderate demand, and firm at $1.45@1.50 for {:n'k barrels, and $1.75@1.80 for lard tierces. on and eteel, metals and tinners’ stock, were ‘were fairly active, and prices unchanged. Nails are in good demand. Salt was in excellent re- 3‘:“” for home consumption and shipment; e market es at $2.25 for coarse and fine, £3.00@4.00 for deiry salt. Beeds were quiet at unchanged prices, clover ranging from §475@5.00, and $5.25@5.40 for mammoth; timothy, $2.50@2.90; fiax quotsble at $1.52@L55. The wool trade is improving, and s better feeling is manifest among dealers; prices are without important change. The street markets were very nearly deserted tq-day, and very little businese was transacted, it bein; impossible to msake deliveries. Pouitry an gume in fair request at_better prices. Potatoes quiet. Apples and other fruit in fair demand and prices steady. Highwines were in good damandL but the of- {erigf: were light, while New York was strong- er (94c). Bales were reported of 200 brls at 8ic per gallon, and the market closed firm at that rice. Lake freights were quiet and unchanged. There was a good demand, early, but few or no vessels offering ; and the shippers soon with- drew their attentions, or an advance would have been effected, a8 some of the carriers talked of 1 and 2¢ more to Buffalo. The-e are not man vessels here, and they find it difficult to unload, owing to the scarcity of horses. A total of 5 charters was reported, which will carry out 72,000 bu corn, and 42,000 bu barley, at 13¢ to Buffalo. At the close the aalufifi rice was 150 on wheat, and 14¢ on corn to Buffalo, The Superintendent of the Illinois and Michi- gan Canal has given notice that all boats cleared after the 14th inst. will beat owners’ risk. Provisions were dull and easier, all round, though holders of product were not generally willing to admit the fact. The reported decline in hogs at the Union Btock Yards' made buyers hold off, and sales conld not have been effected to any great extent at former quotations, though the transactions reported do not exhibit any ma- terial change, The regular s)ukem of_this city have slaughtered about 44,000 hogs to date since the st of October; and expect o begin in ear- nest the coming week, if the weather shonld ermit, of which thereis now s fair prospect. gfl:e market closed at the following range of rices: Mess pork, old held at $15.00; new pork, $14.00; do seller next week effered at 18.50; do, seller December, $12.50@12.62% ; do seller J;m, 812.50@12.60 ; do seller nominel 3 do geller March, $12.65 i do, seller April, $12.80@12.85.

Business was, however, re- stricted by the difficulty of making arrauge- ments for bsuling, and sellers chiefly offered flour arriving and on track. Local buyers wero also on hand, but did little.

There was some talk, ear- Iy, about the receipts being affected by the horse opidemic, but the report of inspection showed 271 cars for Mnnd:fi, and it is probable that our receipts will not fall off materially, as there are large accumnulations at many wayeide points, that have been waiting there for weeks till cars could be obtained to bring the grain to this city.

Corn was rather less activa, and dull duringa great part of the session, declining J¢c below at the close last evening, though averaging 1@13{c higher than the re; session of Fridey. Tho Teceipts were light, and this fact, combined with the liberal shipping movement of the past week, which has reduced our stocks in store to sbout 1,800,000 bu, caused the shorts for this month to 81l in willingly. The option for next month dropped to 34c below it, Decomber having the preference yestorday. This was because the new corn is expected to arrive in December, in good eunough condition to fill options, while the horse- digease is expected to be over by that time. There was gome buying for shipment early, but that fell off when it was ascortained thot vessels were scarce, Seller themonth opened at 333¢c, declined 10 8214c, advanced to 323c, and declined to 82}e atthe close.

Lzxa, 1, Oct, 31, To tha Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sm: Permit us to call the attention of the public to the fact that there is a vast system of stealing among the warehousemen of Chicagn. During the_last fow yeurs,—during which wo have been engaged in the grain business in this place,—wo wve shipped a Jarge amount of grain 1o the city,—an average of sbout 500 car loads, or 00,000 bu per annum, During this period thero has, from time fo time, been a small amount of shortage between our weights as londed here, and those at Chicago, ranging from five to fifty ‘bushels per car. This discrepancy might in_some instances be accounted for by waste and leakago; ai other times the amount was 80 large that it could not reasonably be ac- counted for in that manner. We have ropeat- edly called the attention of our commission merchants to these facts, but in every instanco have failed to receive any satisfoctory answer, or redress to our complaints. The commission merchants, althongh acknowledging the truth of the complaints, and that there is something wrong, can Eive us no remedy, as they say tho matter is beyond their control. Wo would call the attention of the public, and especially those who like ourselves are peraonally in- terested_in this, to one or two cases in point. For instance, on the 2lstday of Sep- tember, 1872, we shipped from this station, via 1. C.R. B. car No. 452, L. C. R. R., loaded with oatsin_bulk, and_as weighed by us at the time of loading, on TFairbank's scales contained 752 21-32 bushels. When weighed by the Board of Trade “weighing master, there were only 680 23-32 bushels, giving a shortage of 71 30-32 ‘bushels on asingle car, or 1-10 of the amount londed by us. - Tho car was in good regfili.r.

R. and Fort Wayne dopot, Such gross out- rages on the part of the railroad and warehouse men of a city like Chicago, wherein a single firm among the hundreds, not to ssy thousands dealing with them, are’ thus chealed out of the Jourth part of their in, is too extraordinary topass unnoticed. §a there no remedy forus victims of such lawless and corrupt monopolies? Legal redress geems impossible, . and -the ulti- mate results will uuguestionably be, that, Chica- go will be the loser, and that the great mass of dealers throughout the country being una- le to stand such fearful thefts, will cease making consignments to that point, and ship to otherpoints, where, if theconveniencesand priees are not quite so goo% honesty and justice will be the rule, and not the exception. = We have, with many others, borne these wrongs, we might 88y, uncomplainingly for years until onour li1:m.\'t, forbearance has ceased to be_s_virtue, and the only course left us is to publish these facts to the world. That there are many honest men, both in the Board of Trade and among the ware- house men we do not_question, but such men will at once see that it is not only their duty, but to their advantage to aid in- investigating, these abuses, and, thus loy the blame on those who are guilty, or otherwise they them- selves must bear a portion of the obloguy, and suffer in a degree with those who are the real culprits. If those things are continued, the out- raged grain dealers will, of necessity, be obliged to take some energetic messures {0 Secure pro- tection from g&m pirates .who are growing wealthy upon the industry of honest men. ® CONNAY & MEALIFF. WHEAT IN CALIFORNIA. The San Francisco Commercial Herald says: ‘Wheat movements continue to be the all-absorbing topic of the day. It {5 the mainspring of all business; it furnishes full employment to our large fisot of ehips, - giving them rich returns for tho freighting thereof. 1tisthe main lubricator of the Central Pacific and other raflroads, It gives to our inland: steamers and coasting fleet all the businecss they.can do, at the same time enriches the former who produces the grain, snd sots in motion thousands of labor-saving machines, and gives employment to a vast army of laborers, teamsters, and others scattered up and down the const and u:.muggmut ourvalleys. It has been recently as-. serted by the Bulletin of this ciiy “ihat the wheat in the grain dstricts is now all housed.” This is & sad mistake; on the contrary, there afe many thousand tons of wheat and other grain yet oxposed in the San Joaquin and other valleys, Cords .of it piled up for ‘miles along the railroad track still , waiting for rail-cars to come snd convey it to a place of safety. This the Paclfic Railroad is now striving to accomplish with all possible despatch, refusing to convey any ‘honsed grain to tide-water until all that ia exposed is carried to a place of safety. It will take weels of hard ‘work to accomplish all that is required. It is only to be hoped that the rains may hold off for some time yet; otherwise, many thousand tons of wheat will in- evitably Do exposed to the clements. It is ex- pected that the seeding this year will bo larger than over before, owing to the success of the wheat erop. ‘The extension of the railronds nto the country. hitherto used exclusively for cattle, has had the effect of bringing a larger acreage info cultivation, and the failure of the cropsin Great Britain-promises Temunerative prices for another year' product. From the present outlook it would seem that Californias and Oregon aro destined to get tho raising of wheat almost altogether in their hands, A gresttract of the Eastern grain districts has been exhausted, and a great tract of fertilo Innd on the Pacific Slopo has never yet been touched by the plowshare, The reclamation now go- ing on in the fresh water tules along the Bacramento River promises to open up a tract of country equal, ‘perhaps, for grain purposesto the famous lands in the delta of the Nile, 'And ths irrigated lands in the San Joaquin Valley, which in s few years will dd immense- ly to the snnuai production of th Siate, sre practically inexhaustible. For it is o well-known foct that irri- gated Iands have produced crops for a century without being at all exhausted in their fertility, In New Mexico there are tracts of land that have been irrigated for over » hundred years, and are still producing as larga ope 0 whe first opened to cultivation, T theclder 1ands, guano and otler sorts of manure are necessary to preservo tho quality of the soil whero irrigation {8 not posaible, but in tho San Joaquin, by means of this water facility, from $5 to $6 is saved on the acre, and that with the unvarying certainty of s successful erop.

CATTLE—In comparison with the preceding two or three weeks, there are no important changes to note in fhe general features of the cattle market. The receipts have been moderate, but in the absence of anything like sctivity in the demand from any source, the sugply proved excessive, and prices ruled weak and unsettled from the opening to the close. The Eastern markets are still being largely suppli Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvanis, and prices there are 80 low that there is really no margin for shippers to work Tpon, end their i es duaring the past week do not aggregate 8,000 lith this class of boyers virtually out of the market, sellers have been bothered Dot little to dispose of native cattle, and light 83 was the supply of desirable nhip&:ing grades, values have suffered a further dopreciation. Texas cattle met with s fair inquiry from pack- ers, feeders, and local butchers, and although these fntei%'n cattle comprised the bulk of the week’s supply, they commanded, relatively, bet- ter prices than native stock, the pens l:eing kept well cleared at $2.00@3.00 for throng droves, and at £8.25@4.50 for good to choice’ Northern-wintered. The demand for stockers hes fallen off some, but quiry is still fair, and common to good the ing droves are salable st $2.60@4.00. Veal calves remain steady at sbout last week’s prices, or at l$-‘Siffl@5.75 for common coarse heavy to choice ight. - gTo-dny the market was without ehugemin any important particnlar. Buyers were , and their orders small, and trading was slow at abont former rates. Shippers took afew car-lrads, and o few bunches were taken by local hayers and feeders, but the total of sales did not reach 1,000 head, and the market closed dull and heavy.

Owing to light arrivala the market, up to Fridsy evening, ruled firm and advancing, prices creeping up fully 80@35c per 100 Ibs, or to 34.40@4.75. The advance was not sustained, however, the more liberal receipts of ;ieaterda.y and to-day cmmin? s sharp reaction. 'he demand was almost exclusively on_Eastern acconnt, the limited supply and themild weather preyalent preventing operations on the part of packers. Most of our packers are now ready for active business, am£ 28 goon 88 the weather will justify it, the work of packing wi begin in’ good -'earnest. Reports from the ‘hog-producing districts are to the effect that the number being fed is unusually large, and that the quality is generally above the average at this season of the year. Among deal- ers the Dginion seems to pretty %anemlly prevail that the hogs marketed during the first half of the packing season will command better prices than those sent in later; this belief being based on the supposition that the abundance &nd low rices of corn will induce feeders to hald their ogs to a later period than in former seesons. The extremo range of prices paid during the week was $4.15@4.85, though the bulk of the transfers were at $4.35@4.60. To-dsy the market was dilland lower. The large receipts made buyers cautious, and they took hold sparingly st 10c dechne from yester- day's prices, or at s reduction of 20@25¢ from Thursday’s rates. BSales were rar‘;:md at $4.20 @430 for common ; ab $4.35@4.40 for medium, and at $4.45@4.50 for §Bofl to choice, at which range the market closed weak. Wo append the following transactions : No. Av.

The demand, being confined principally to meeting the wants of city butchers, bazely equalled the angpldy, light 88 it was, and the low prices estab- lished last week have been only indifferently sustained. The offerings embraced very few choice mautton eheep, and, with two or three ex- coptions, $4.25 was the highest figure obtained. The arrivals consisted mainly of common to fair lots, for which the ruling prices were $3.25@3.75.
