THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER % is7s. MONEY AKD COMRMERCE. MONETARY. WEDNESDAT EvENTSG, Kov. G, Tiocal trade and finances were extremely dull #gein to-day. The horse-distemper interferes 80 geriously with trade that the effect to dimin- ish checling end depositing at the banke was very marked. In scme of the banks it seemed like a holiday. The money market is still stringent. The most of the banks are carrying large amounts of extended paper, and find it difiicult to get their discount lines down toa proper proportion to deposits. Some of thoes that have succeeded in reducing lozus £o 28 to Love considerable money onhend, are holding on to it in anticipation of a demand from the pork packers, and ave, therefore, giviug but littlo additional aid to other departments of trade. In regard to the probable demands upon the bank ecapiial of this «ity to carry grain in store this winter, it may be said that the storage capacity of the city has been greatly increased since this time last year, and that there is also a much larger amount of Etorage room unoccupied now than then. There are still very large crops of wheat in Towa and Minnesota to come forward, and it is possible that the banks of this city will be called upon t0 carry 3,000,000 bushels more grain than last winter, but owing, to the auch lower prices now than then, the amount of money required will probably be but little great- er. It seems quilecertain that the mercantile community will be applicants for agood deal more benk aid this winter than during any pre- ious one. Dut the increased storage capacity of the city will aid the movembnt of grain in the country, as country grein-buyers will not be compelled to kold their grain in the conatry | warehouses to as great an extent as last winter. The emall amount of grain at tide-water will also favor a movement eastward, all winter, to the full capacity of the railroads. New York exchange was firm to-day at 25¢ to B0c per $1,000 premium for sales botween <banks, The re-election of the Administration has not made any perceptible difference in prices of gold, Jonds, or railroad stocks. THE DANGER TO THE BANK OF ENGLAND. A week or ten days ago we gave some of the particulars of the situation in the London Inoney market, which seemed to threaten a drain of epecie to Germany, and in view of which the Directors of tho Bank of England had raised their rate of discount from time to timo since Oct. 1, thereby preventing the negotiation of American securities, and exercising an influence on American enterprises and money markets generally. In the London Daily Netws of Oct. 24 we find = lengthy communication from a Lon- Qon banker, reviewing the whole situation, in which he corroborates our statements made a ~weel ago, and points out wherein the present defective system of the Bank of England per- mits danger of a finzncial panic every fall. ‘The correspondent of the News states the sitna- tion as follows: “In transferring from Franco o Germany the scores of millions sterting con- stituting the treaty ransom, the former country urchased in the Continental markets bills on England to the amount of some_millions ster- {ing, and handed them to the Derlin Govern- ment, who_remitted_them to their agents in London, with instructions ~ to collect the seversl sums as they ma- tured, and hold the praceeds on_deposit till requested to remit them to Berlin. Of the total amount of the funds thus accumulated in London on Prussian Government account thera is no certainty. Some monthsagoit might have been ten millions sterling; at this time it i€ probably less than fonr. It is the policy of tbe mew German Empire to set up a gold cur- Tency, and it is believed, on good grounds, that 80 far the Berlin Mint has actually coined about Sifteen millions sterling of the new pieces, and ‘holds them in it own custody until the quantity shall reach, it is said, twenty millions, when the issue of them to the public will com- mence. To meintain the flow of this coinege the Berlin functionaries supply themselves with gold as best they can— and_notably they direct from time to time Temittances of gold coin and bullion from the custodians in London of the cash deposits we have described. Everybody has known for the last nine months or more that the London money market has been largely sapplied with money belonging to Germany. The rates of discount have been lowered by the presence and employ- ment of that money, aud we bave reaped what- ever sdvantage bas thence crisen. But then comes the diiiculty. In the carly autumn of every year there is an effux from the ‘Bank of Ergland into the English counties, and into Scotland and Ireland, of gold and silver coin, and bank notes, to 8upply certain necessitics of the internal circulation arising out of the bharvest season of the year, ihe oc- currence of Michaelmas Term for paying rents, dues, interest, stipends, ctc. Thisantumn deman Zor coin and i notes is nowore a mnovelty, at least in modern times, than the feast of Mi- chaselmas itself. But every year it becomes Jar- ger, and naturally so as population, weslth, and habits of locomotion increase. This year the internal drain will be bardly less than £4,- 000,000. A fow years ago it was less than £2,- 000,000. About” the nuddle of November the tide begins to turn, and by the end of the year early the whole of the sutumn swell in”the metallic and paper circulation has subsided.” . This being the situation the London banker shows, we think conclusively, that_the present &ystem of management of the Bank of England 35 not adequate £o its cxigencies, viz By an act of Parlinmeni, passed with the ‘best intentions and by very able men so longago as 1844, the Bank of England is divided into an izsue and benking dopartment, end the total | Lath: ‘bullion reserve 5:“ this moment twenty millions) held by the establithment a8 o whole is Appor- tioned twelve millions to the issne and eight millions to the banking depertment ; and it is the very essencoe of the sclemo that for every estra bank-note which goes into circulation an extra soversign shell pass from the banking . $o the issno division. In 184% the computation of the framers of the scheme wes that the issue zeserve would vary between five and soven mil- llicns sterling. At this moment it is nearly twelve millions, and for several years it has been Tarely less than ten. The pressure thus falls upon the banking division, and falls upon it with increasing severity every year, and for a reason very plain to any person who will observe, even casuelly, what is going on about him. Every London bank has an_account with the banking department of the Bank of England, mpon which it gives an order for Clearing-House scttlements, and with which it maintains such & credit balance s is_ necessary to fur- nish tho daily eupply of bank notes @ad gold coin. Tho London banker is quite &s desirous s his Provincial brother to keep his premises as clear 28 possible of large uantitics of gold and silver, and Lence it comes <0 pass that the £9,000,000 of treasure at this mo- ment in the banking department are the ulti- mate point—the sole ultimate reserve, first, of the London bankers ; second, through them’ of the Loudon merchents and Provineial bankers ; znd third, through these last, of the goneral trade of the country. In point of fact, it might e shown beyond dispute, thatif the London Dankers wera to withdraw their balances from the banking department, the residuo represent- ing the reserve against the deposits held by the department itself would be so small 25 to be ri- diculons. “Here,then, was the root of the present and of former similar evils. The ultimale cash reserte of the banling department is too small for the Junctions it has fo perform, and it becomes “snuller and smaller ceery year in the face of the growing wealth, populalion, irade, and enter- rise of the country. & 4 At the close of Angust last the banking re- gerve was barely £12,000.000. It was then Znown that severa! millions of German money vas in London end would be speedily taken away as bullion. It was also certain that the autumnal interest drawn would earry away £8,000,000 or £4,000,000as usual, andall this out of £12,000,000, the ¢ panic ?ninb *" of the banking reserve being £6,000,000." - = Tlo correspondent of the News claims thot the recent pressuro in tho London money market sras merely the latest instunco of the extremo aud growing danger to the industry end trade of Tho eountry of tho inadequacy of the cash re- serve of the banking deperizent to meet tho fiuctuations, internal and external, in the de- wand for gold and bullion—wholesome aud profitable in themselves, and inseparable from tlic advancing development of commerco and the soncentralion in Loncon of vhe financial business of both Lemispheres. ‘'he point of his criticisma iz to show that fho greet defect of the system fho Dauk_of England is, that it renders the bazking reserve o glaringly insuf- fieieut by cutling the bullion in two, and, in erleet, renders the holders of Lani-notes sceured Groditors at the expensc of the depositors. It tepders the Lank-note immaculate, and leaves, the cheque Lo tako tho cousequences of errors of S emost 2nd bud mausgementon the part of ot the banking department was, ‘its circnlation, in order to mse the ¢ correspondent's writing, 83§ o thgud the deposits 25 mflfmns‘ crations this would be centago of reserve; but osition of the Bank of o the dai million pounds, 2 Tn ordinury bankivg op considered an ample pex: the pecalizrity of the P! England is that it holds the reserves of all tho otmer bunks, large and small, in the country, end the correspondect claims that, if the balances of these banks alone were with- drawn, there would mot be a sixpence left as reserve for the remaining soventeen millions of deposits. We may &ee, then, how a heavy drain on the deposits of the London Joint Stock Banks, such as might be made at any time by the German Government, would soon oblige the Bank of England to either closo its doors on its depositors, or else suspend specie Enymenta on its ciret ullion fund in the issue department to pay them. Accord- ing to the correspondent of the News, the crisis bas probably been passed for this fall, but it can readily be seen what tremendous_possibilities of evil there are in & gystem of banking that is not comprehensive enough_for the new features de- veloped in finances during the last few years.

COMMERCIAL. ‘WEDNESDAY EVENING, The following were the receipts and shipments of the leading sarticles of produce in this city during the past forty-cight hours; and for the corresponding date & year ago: BECEIPTS, 1871, SHIPMENTS, Withdrawn from store on Satarday for city .consumptio 8,521 bu wheat ; 4,754 bu corn; 13,506 bu oats ; 1,459 bu rye; 3,413 Lu barley. Tlie following grain has been inspected info store this morinng, up to 10 o'clock: 195}¢ cars wheat ; 75 cars and 1,000 bu corn; 25 cars and 5,000 bu oats; 6 cars and 200 bu rye; Gil§ cars barley. Total (369 cars), 146,000 bu. We suggest to those whom it may concern, that | the stocks of grain in this city are now solow that it would not be much trouble to go through the process of weighing, 50 as to ascertain how much we have in store. There are grave doubts afloat in roference thereto, especially in corr, of which we are reported to have had 1,568,587 bu on Saturday last, while there ure manymen on the floor of the Exchange who think that there could not be found 1,000,000 of 56 1bs to the bu, if it were all weighed up. It may be objected that it is not long eince tho State Inspector of Grain undertook the work of measuring the grain in the different varchouses of this city; but then thers aro grave rumors to the effect that some bins of corn in certain houses that bave recently been transferred, were full when measured, and cmpty soon afiar- wards, while other bins were being measured. It would seem scarcely possible that the measurers should be hoodwinlked into measuring the seme grain twice, and we do not believe it; but there Wwould be n6 harm in taking stock over again, aud it will probably be done. ~ It is understood to be the rule among warehousemen to take stock once a year; and they will not probably havo o better opportunity this year of doing it than now, ‘While on this topic we may note & marked dis- crepancy between the returned differences of stocks in store on last Saturday, and a week ago, a8 compared with tho roported receipts and ship- ments. In wheat the daily bulletins give: Ship- ped out last week, 676,129 bu; withdrawn for city consumption, 11,682 bu; aud received, 587, 700 bu. ‘This would give a decreaso of 100,0: bu, whereas the weekly statements of stocks in store show an increase of 20,795, Tota! t.is- crepancy, 120,846 bu. In barloy the receipts and shipments show a decrease of 163,970 bu, while the statement of stocks in store only shows o decreose of 11,921 bm Total discrepency in barley, 152,749 bu. Wo know that the daily statement of receipts aro only approximale, but they ought surely to be nearer the trath thau this; in barley the error is motless than five- eighths of the stated receipts for the Wweek. An instance of tho loose way in which these reports arve made occurred this morning ; one road re- ported 100,500 bu wheat received sinco Monday morning, which a comparison with the Tuspec- tor’s books showed was about ten times the amount actually received over thatroad. What are such figures good for ? THE MARKETS. The leading produce markets wero heavy to- day, though moderately active, and some of them steady. They sympathized with New Yorl, where buyers seem to have been oo busy ont | canvassing the election returns to have much time left for' trading. Hero the election and its _resulis = were talk- ed over, but only in an incidental kind of way ; by interjections. Many operators o praohd ot tho_ general wealess. They Dad expected that the settlement of tho great National issue, either way, ‘would result in more extensive trading, zs the people would krow what they had a right to oxpect from either regime, and would operate with more confidence Thus far the expectation has not been realized, The | steady. Dry goods met with o moderate demand receipts wero mot large, considering that the reporta covered the operations of two days ; and the shipments were more liberal than could have been expected, in vidw of the past soercity of vesscls. But tho shipping movement to-day was elow, there being an almost utter absence of canrving facilities by lako, while the railroads have all they can attend to, and aro not anxious sbout taking much more new .business just at present. Our stocks of grain aro not large, end it is hoped that they will be still farther reduced ~ beforo the winter sets in. The grocery trade was elightly more active than on the preceding deys of the week, though busi- ness is still reterded by the horse epidemic. Values underwent no important chango. Sugers are now in ample supply, and the market is working easier. Coffees wero steady at the de- cline noted early in the week. Syrups, teas, epices, and most other articles in the list ruled only,” and prices were subjected to but slight fluctuations. Btandard cottons were guoted firm, while woollen goods ruled easy. Butter \as in botter request, without improvement in prices. Checso was firm, with an adyancing ten- dency. No new features were noted in the fish and dried fruit markets. The hay market was firmer, owing to tho marked falling off in re- ceipts, the arrivals of loose hay on wagons hav- ing almost entirely ccased. Wo note an ad- vance of 50c per ton. Hides remain inac- five and weak. Leather was in fair demand, at unchanged prices. In the oil market there was o moderate amount of trading, with only slight change in prices, 2 decline of 2c in linseed being tho only noticeable attraction, Canned goods are now meeting with an active demand, and prices aro genorally firmor, Toma- toes havo ndvanced to $1.90@2.00 for 2 Ib cans, and to $2.55@2.65 for 8 Ib. Trado at the lumber yards continues quiet, former prices being sus- toined. Building maferials wero quict and with- outchange; dealers aro crowded with orders, but cannot deliver any materials at present. The metals, nails, and iron are in reasonably fair de- mand, and prices continue uniform and without change. Hops were in some demand amon brewers for current necessities. Wool is quiet, excepting & small in- quiry ~ from manufacturers for particular grades. Prices nro unchanged. Seods wero quiet, and without quotable chango; prime fimflth%l\:'ns steady at $2.90 ; clover at £4.90@ 5.00. o strect markets were more snimated then for o few days past, and a fair business was_traneacted, considering the scarcity of means of delivering. Poultry and game were activo_and prices high. = Potatoes remmin quiot, few caring to buy on track. Green fruits in fair requost. A }fi)lea werein good shipping %slmlmd, car lots eelling at from $2.25@2.50° per Tl Highwines were active but unsettled, New York being reported firm at 95c, but inactive. Sales were reported of 100 brls at 90¢, which was 3¢c higher than on Mondsy ; but 300 brls were 80ld on privato terms, which probably meant 893gc. There were s2id to bo buyers of particu- lar brands at 90c, while others were slow at 8914c. Lako freights were quiet, but firmer, vessels being quoted scarce, though the asking rates of yesterday were not sustained. A totol of 7 charters was reported, which will carry out 170,000 bu wheat, 50,000 bu corn, and 20,000 bu barley. Buffalo rates wero 15¢ on corn, and 16 on wheat. The through rate to New England points was 33¢ on corn. Provisions were dull, but steady, end some operators quoted the market a shado firmer, in sympethy with an_advanco of about 5¢ per 100 1bs in the price of live hogs. But there were very fow buyers for any description of product, the most marked feature being a disinclination to sell pork for December delivery, tio impres- sion being that there will be so little new mede Dby the end of that month that tho market may possibly be cornered. For other montha therd weroe free sellers. Lard was dull, and meuts un- changed. It was stated to-day that the stock of old pork here is being carried on the account of nine_Moutreal men, and that thoy aro pre- pared to carry it over two or tluee years if necessary, as thoy are confident it i8 o good purchase. The market closed nominal at the following rango of prices: Mess pork, old held at £15.00; new pork, $14.00; do seller the weck offered at $13.50; do eeller 15 days offered at $15.00; do seller December, £12.50@ 12.55; do seller January, $12.40@12.50; do sclicr Febuary, nominal; do seller March, $12.50; do geller April, $12.60@12.75.

A large quentity conld, and would doubtless be sold if they could bo delivered to the milis below. The amount of logs left over will not, eside from tho store on hand for sawing in the mill booms, vary far_from 25,000,- 000, including both long and short stock: ~Tho year's business nowclosing has been, in the main, Batisfactory to both producers aud manufactur- ers. The price of logs has fluctuated slightly since the opening of tho boom or receipt of new logs. The highest prices obtzined early in the Beason were $14 for long logs rafted and fitted at Stillwater. Tho lowest price was. €8 for in- ferior loga, rafted and fitted. Tho aversge price will not vary far from $11.25 on the entire sales of the season, 4 There hasbeen a greater diserimination in prices than in eny previons vear, with & better demand for the best grades of short logs, high figures Leing paid for logs of an extrs qualiy ‘while common and refuse logs could not be eafi unless at extensively low fizures. — e MARINE INTELLIGENCE, PORT OF CH’CAGO.‘ ARRIVED.
