The depoeits of a majority of the bnuk_e heve mcreased some, and there is moro disposi- tion to mect the demands of borrowerg. In the open market, also, thereis less paper offering. rates for money have declined from the high sigures obtsined 2 week or ten days ag0, and good commercial paper is now easily negotiated 5t 18 per cent per annum. * The last month has Leen & trying time for 'the banks, and, notwithstending the present appearance of ease, some of ihem are carying large amounts of estended paper, and find them- selves cramped for cash funds with which to ‘meet the demands of borrowers, who naturally expect more accommodation now that money npgemvto be easier. 3 xchange continues scarce, and sells between banks at 50¢ to 75¢ per $1,000 premium, Cu.rrencg continues to come ig-from the coun- 4ry in moderate volume, ehowing the progress of collections, but _the high price of exchange shows the probebility that currency will move Fastward and prevent any accumulation here. Boston papers represent that the check to business from the hor¥e disease has csused an 2ccumulation of business paper in the hands of the note-brokers, the banks being unsble to meet the increased demand for accommodation, caused by the interference with trade. The same is probably true to & consderable extent in New Vork, and other places where the horse disease has prevailed. 'As money had been stringent in all these places before the epizootic, it wonid be impossible to say what proportion of the present stringency is attributable to it. In Chicago _ we = caunot see that it bhas produced any increase of the stringency yet. This may ba due to the fact that money was already 8o stringent that the additional effect of the horse discase hasnot been noticed, though it seems more probable that so important an interruption of trade must vet make itself felt in the money market. Busi- Dess, in many lines of trade, Las been aimost suspended for » week in this city. Oxen have been substituted to so limited an extent as to be scarcely worth taking into the goneral ‘ac- count in the loss to trade, and while the busi- mness of a large part of the mercantile com- munity has been o interrupted, their liabilities have been maturing just as fast, thus making & m;rinns histus between their income and outgo of cash. —_——— REAL ESTATE. ¢ Thé following instruments were filed for record on Thursdsy, Nov. 8: CITY PROPERTY.

[ 1872, | 187L Live hogs, No. e, No, Withdrawn from store yosterday for city con- sumption : 5,072 bu corn, and 1,701 ba rye. The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock : 118 cars wheat ; 108 cars corn ; 271¢ cars and 8,500 bu oats ; 1134 cars rye ; and 75 cars barley. Total (835 cars), 182,000 bu. The necessity for taking account of stocks of grain now in storein this city, which has been urged in these columns on several occasions, but particalarly for two days past, i8 painfully sp- parent. We are reported to have' had 3,618,642 ‘b of all kinds of grain in store on last Satur- day, worth, in the aggregate, about $1,650,000, ‘but there are grave reasons for thinke ing that these figures are wide of the trnth. -An instance was reported yesterday in which a gentleman who wanted fo make up & cergo of wheatin a certain house,in which a considerable quantity is reported on hand, went ronnd to some thi. different firms, and conld < find one that owned a bushel in that house, t.ough those firms included all who would " be likely to have grain there. * Tt is resly nécessary that some action should be taken that will enable Jxrcducn dealers to strike the balance-sheot, and see how the trada stands. The well-know;i cgi'ficulty u{;?hi:;:g grain paper, which is even ar i:‘l?:nfiy nndsgsgmd by those outside the'busi- ness, bes gome other foundation than mere gearcity of mone in . ¢l markets and it is -well that the true “eason ghould be known, that the remedy may bo soplied. 1fit wero oécsm egtt;ll:llli:hed_tha all the grain paper afloat in this cif grain St Siharo would be no_ great dificulty in ob- b taining the ususl percentage of advance there- upon, which, accor the above figures, would be scarcely a n and a half of dollars. Bat if it be feared that there is less grain in store than stated, or ‘thst there is paper out for more grain than i8 in - store, or both, the natural sensitiveness of capital causes it to take the alarm, and manifest an unwillingness to handle scarcely afford to do otherwise than to take that ground. We cannot too strongly urge the importance of undertaking the required canvass at once. Our bins are now more nearly empty than thoy will be at any time for several months to come, as our receipts-of grain, although light, are consid- erably in excess of the shipments. Perhaps it would astouid many of our grain-holders to find how little we have in. store; aud those people might be satisfied who were askmi to-dsy 1f there are actually 63,881 bu No. 2 spring, and 600,569 ‘bu corn in the Armonr Elevators, or 72,29'f bu No. 2 spring, 2nd 13,277 bu rejected do, in the Rock Island, as reported last Tuesdsy. It is 2180 a particularly opportune time, a8 it is ru~ mored that George Armour & Co, aroattempting to decide upon a date beyond which they will not accept any more of the Munn & Scott receipts; and while receipt-holders are sorting out the contents of their safes for those precious docu- ments, it would bo very easy to take acconnt of the rest-at the same time. "Letit be done, thera- fore, at once. While the National Banks are called on'for not lees than five statements in each vear, it surely cannot be & great hardship that the warehousemen should be required to make & statement once in & century; and, so far as we knuw[ they have never made one yet, since the *Declaration of Independence,” by which they sasumed the tight to do as they pleased, without qne?tion. And let it not be forgotten that & knowledge of the exact amount of outstanding receipts, each caso, is & sine qua non. To neglect this, and take accurate account of stocks in store, would be just a8 absurd as the statement of a £rm or company that their assets were so much, without a word as to their liabilities. What is wanted is to know how many bushels of each kind and grade of grain each “warchouse firm ig under obligations to deliver, and the discovoryof. the amounts on hand wherewith to mest those obligations will be_a comparatively easy task. If the Board of Trade can spare two wholo after- noons for the work of expelling one membor, and retaining two others, it can surely spare an hour-or two for an investigation that deeply concerns the integrity of the whole Board, aud the solvency of a large proportion of its mem- bers. Will' the Board continue to follow the exemple of those who, according to a Dauish rendering of the Scriptures, * strain at a gate, and swallow a sawmill 2 . THE MARKETS. The leading produce markets were moderately activo to-dny, and generally at yosterdsy's prices, the most marked change being in whest, which was firmer. Our receipts were light, an shipments do, while the disposition to Incur further shipping responsibilities was very lim- ited indeed, as scveral of our shippers have lost considersble money by their recent operations, ith the freight market 8o much against them. In the dry goods merket there were no new fea- tures worthy of note. Business was generally veported elack all aronnd, and from present ap- pearances it will continue so for some time. to come. There are few buy- ors here in person, the demand being meinly in the shape of mail-orders. Prices Tuled easy, save for standard cottons, and the heavier weollens. The ery trade Wwas. mod- crately active at yesterdsy's quotations, Our dealors are managing to fill orders, though not without delsys. The articles most frequontly inquired for were sugars; coffees, syrups, and epices. The butter market was quiet, and steady, Cheese remains firm and unchanged. No alteration was visible in the condition of the coal. market, prices ruling firm at $11.00 for " Lockawanna, and at $10.50@11.00 for Erie and Briar Hill. Hidea remain dull, and weak. The hsy markel was unchanged. The supply ‘was light, and prices were again quoted a ehade higher. No new features were developed in con- nection with the leather, oils, or wood markets. Business at thelnmbfl'{azds was quiet, on ac- count of the ecarcity of teams. Prices are un- changed. Lime, cement, &c., arein demand. Brick is dull 2pd weak at 311.00 perm ; the late- ness of the season and difficulty in making de- liveries being the reasons for the falling off in the demand. Other materials are without change. -Iron, tin, nails, &c., are in moderate request at previons prices. The market for wool shows & decided improvement, Eastern ad- vicesbeing very favorable. Prices are advancéd on fine grades, a8 the supply is said to_be very light,. Hops are unchanged; s fair local de- mand exists. Secds were in better request, with thé : market a shade firmer for timothy snd clover. Potatoes bring fair prices when deliv- eries nre guaranteed, but sales on track are slow and ab reduced prices. Poultry isin lib- eral supply and mfl{ active. Egga wera lower, the offerings being large. Apples continue to meet with favor, and prices rule strong for car Iots of choice winter. Other fruits quiet and unchanged. " Highwines were active at the inside quotation of the past iwo days, being in_good demand, owing to continued firmness in New York. lSnleu were reported of 450 brls at 893c per gal- on. TLike freights were quiet, and 134@2c lower. Carriers early reported the market as strong at yesterday's rates, but found that shippors were not snxious; znd towards noom, when they found that New York was generally lower, free- 1y offered the few vessels on haud at 1c decline. Even then shippers beld off for further conces- pions, claiming that there was no money in the operatiop, and that if there were, the chances of geiting grain through to New York by canal ‘era extremely problematical. A total of 8 char- ters was reported, including one last evening, which will carry out 70,000 bu wheat, 140,000 bu. corn, and 20,000 bu barley. Rates to Buffalo closed dull at 13@13}¢c on wheat, and 12@12}4c oncorn. Bates to other lake ports were nob mentioned. Through rates to New England, by steam and rail, were nominal at 37c¢ on corn. , “Provisions were very quiet, with no changs in prices, except a slight increace in firmness in ‘mess pork for December and January delivery, with perhaps a little moretenacity on the part of lard holders for delivery before the new year. The better demand for mests apparent_yester- day had either vanished, or was satisfied by tho small purchase then msade, about the only real demand being for green hams, though there was 2 good deal of talk sbont_options—the business ‘being rather tirade than trade. _We note that ‘mess pork Was ‘E‘i‘ strong in New York, being uoted ¢ scarce,” which means é)roblbly that the comfortable stocks there are being held off the market for higher prices at the hands of the Montreal syndicate. Our packers are not yet operating to any considerable extent, though the eather 18 now * cold o’ nights ”; hence live Liogs are weak, not being wanted. | Operstors are holding of, both from killing and buying meats, in fear of tho future of freightsto the seaboard, which some think will be very much higher than Tnow befors midwinter. The market closed at the following range of prices: Mess pork, old held -at £15.00; new pork, £14.00; do seller the week nominal at 913.30; do seller 15 deys nominal at $13.00; do seller Docember, $12.50@12.62%4'; do seller Jannary, $12.45@12.50; do seller February, nominal; do seller March, $12.50@12.62}5 ; do sellerApril, 812.60@12.75.

There was alittle buying, in named elevators, for the purpose of filling out cargoes. We note that the pressurs for December diminished from 34c af the opening to about X0 near the -‘close, the dema.ng for next month being relatively less than heretofore. Seller December opened at $1.0514, andvanced to $1.06, declined to SL.043, im- proved to 21.05%, and closed at $1.053¢. Seller the month sold at $1.04%@1.05%, closing at $1.047%, and seller the yesr at about the same, Beller "January sold st $1.07.

Total, $4,000bu. _Corn was active and steady, averaging 3c higher than yesterday, though Liverpool was 34 per 480 1bs lower, and Now York was reported inactive and heavy. Liverpool was early ru- mored to bb 6d higher, but this was soon ascer- tained to be erronecns. The fact of light re- coipts brought out o _good’ demand from the shortinterest, while the shippora took hold more fresly in view of the reduction in freights. The fact is that our rocent low prices are at last telling on our receipts; and no wonder, for the farmers have found that they can make a8 much or more by hauling ties for the rail- | roads as by hauling their corn to the depot, to say nothing of tho'cost of raising the grain, and its wvnlue for feeding purposes on the farm. It mey be, too, that the prevalence of { the horse-disease has something to do with our diminished receipts. The conseguence must be higher prices, even if there should be 0 extra shipping demand ; and ospecially 8o if it shall be found that our stocks in store sre considerably smaller than has been reported.

The St. Louis Democrat sags : 1tis claimed by the adherents of high wheat ” that {he Enropean dcmand for brendstuffs of all kinds will o 80 great that prices must rule high, _Europe's mil- Tions want tho chespest bread they ‘can get. Peoplo who do not get a bit of meat oftener than oncs week, becase thoy aro 00 poor to purchase it, are not likely to consume much wheat flour at$9 to $10 per barrel, when they can get good, sweet cornmeal at o third of the money. The peoplo of Europe have learned that American maize, ground into meal, makes o palatable, hearty, wholesome, snd very cheap bread- stuff, and they are ordering it in vastly increased quan- tities, as the fact that on October 1 there were in store’ in London 99,088 quarters of corn, agamst 16,602 for the corresponding date of the previous year, abundently proves. England will undoubtedly take a large smount of wheat of us at certain prices, but ‘while present figurea prevail, she will buy her wheat of France, Russis, and Hungary, and her corn of America, 'To ship & large supply of wheat to England at preacnt figures, expecting that the market thero may advance, ha8 already been proven very poor policy, for no sooner do English operators find that 2n unususl number of cargoes of wheat ars afioat for British ports than they induce on advance in the Bank of England rate of interest, and by the time the car- goes arrive money is dear snd scarce, and wheat cor- respondingly depressed and sbundant, John Bull has played it upon bis American cousin in, precitely thin gusting feshion more than onco this eeason, a8 many su American shipper has learned to his cost, The following may properly be inferred : First, {hat we have more wheat in the country now than wo Dud at this time last year : second, that our corn crop is also much larger ; third, that Great Britain will buy grain of ue ad libitum,snd whestwhen the prico suits her; fourth, that wheat will be more or less firm- Iy hield in' this country throughout the winter; fifth, that corn will much more entér into home consump- tion 35 & breadstuff; and, sixth, that just upon the eve of the wheat harvest of 1873 it will saddenly be dis- covered that wheat is in excessive supply,and the attempt to rush it into market may cause s decline 1 much too low as the present priceis too high.

Famay Evestya, Nov. 8. Theraceipts of live stock during the week up to this evening, were as follows : Shipments were as follows: v 3,187 A despatch was received at the yards to-day snnouncing the death, at his home in New Haven, Conn., of Major Wm. Smith. Major Smith has, for many years, been intimately Jdentified with the live stock trade of the North- weat. Ho found his way to this market béfore :ny of the El:stom cr!:;ilm;dh;ll:es l;ad hc%iahes for ing live stock, and his early purchases were nfipped. by bost.” From that period until about & fortnight sgo, Whem, -in consequence . - of faling . health, he bade his - friends farewell, and _took his departure from the city, expecting never to return, he has, with varying success, been steadi- 1y engaéed in the purchase and sale of live stock. He was o man of sterling integrity, and great goodness of heart, and the announcement of his death will bring sorrow to his hundreds of friends engaged in the trade hers and thronghout the West; where he was perhaps more widely known -than any other live stock dealer in the country. ‘At the time of his death he was about 73 years of age. CATTLE—If there was any change in the con- dition of the catile market, the change was not in favor ofellers. Buyers were few and ch&ir o wants were limited, and, notwithstandin; anxiety of hollora to realize, and their. wi ness to t almost every conceasion that buy- ers had the hardihood to ask to accomplish this _result, they were .only enabled to dispose of ‘abotit 1,500 head. ~Of this number some 800 fell- into the hands of shippers, while the remainder ‘was chieflgividefl between city butchers and feeders. e range of prices paid was $2.50@ 5.37, -with most of the transfers $8.00@8.873.. Advices from the East continue discouragitig, the supply exceeding the demand 2t nearly all points, while prices are uniformly weak and unsetiled; hence shippers prefer to remsin idle for the" present, and the’ re- <ceipts of desirable shipping grades, light as they are, prove in excess of all demands. The cattle” “packing ‘season 'is nowW ually over, and in . the foture owmers of g 208 % ot o ol o shippers and "1ocal butchers for the . e Teeders being light e market for working oxen was largely overstocked, and _prices were sensi- bly lower.

Most of the dsy’s business was transscted wit! in the range of $£4.25@4.40 for common to prime, smooth, even lots. The market closed comparatively stesdy st 34.20@%.25for common ; at $4.30@4.85 for medium, and at £4.40@4.45 for good to choice.

A. Thompson, Dnited States Consul at Goderich, Canada, to the Detroit Post: *Inthe Post of Wednesday, Oct. 30, under the heading of ¢Goderich Harbor,’ it ig said: *A report is cor- rent that the harbor of refage at Goderich is & myth, and instead of the money needed for its improvement being judiciously expended, that that the place is &aainivel unsafe for vessels to 50 to in bad weather. ' W give the raport for what it is worth.” T desire to correct the imprer3ion sought to be conveyed in the above report by stating that erich Harbor is much improved by the ef- forta of the C: ian Government to make it & harbor of refage. It is much essier of- sccesa than formerly, and perfectly eafe in any storm for vessels drawing 14 feet of water. The chan- el between the old piers, opsning to thie south- west, is now closed. The new piers nearly due east and west, and the channel, which is now open, is 50 feet wider than the old one. A roduces more swell in the harbor than formerly, and causes vessels moored at the dock to pound a little, bt the ‘bay is capacious, and vesiels &t anchor are per- fectly safe.” ? I The Longest Bridge in the World, The River Tay, in Scotland, is to be spaaned by & bridge-that will be the longest in the world. The Victoris bridge, at Montresl, which has heretofore been the longest, is 9,194 feet ; tiat now being constructed over tho Tay will be 10,821, a difference in its favor of 1,127 feet. It lacks 'but_eighty yards of being two milés in length. The work is to be finished in thres years from May, 1871. Thegreatest haight of the structure will be eighty-eight feet abova high-water mark. There are to ce eighty-nino spans, fourteen of which will be 200 fect wide. e piers are to be of cast-iron, cylindrical in form, filled in with brick.” The piers will reqaire 2,600 tons of cast-iran, whilsthe superstructure, swhich will be of malleable iron, will use up 3,000 tons. The contract for the whole bridge was taken by Mr. De Bargne, at £217,000, sbout $1,085,000 gold. MEDICAL CARDS. DR.C. BIGELOW CONFIDENTIAL PHYSICIAN, Xo. 44 SOUTH STATE-ST., CHICAGO.
