iE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, MONEY AND COMRERCE. MONETARY. - 'WEDNESDAT EVENTXG, Nov. 15, In the local money market, matters continued quiet. The supply of loannble funds is small, and the market maybe called decidedly stringent Fet, though the demand is not pressing like it was & fow weelisago, and there is very little com- mercial paper in the openmarket. We hear of a few parties whose negotiations for large loans on mortgages have been broken off by the Boston fire, but it is believed that the interruption will be only temporary, as the 3 !qnn i agents here have merely suspended negotiationsin some cases, until they hear more explicitly from such of their principals as may be affected by the fire, The effects of the horse disease upon finances are guite perceptible. ~ Merchants in nearly all lines of trade have beenuneble to deliver goods, snd unable to collect, and have, consequently, been compelled to borrow of the banks. Had it zot been for this unfortunate interruption of zrade, money would have been much easier than at present, though the Jow prices of products in ihe country would malke collections slow, and have an unfavorable effect on trade generally; 1he wonder is, that the low prices for grain, the horse disease, and the Boston fire, have together had eo little bad effect. New York exchange was a little more abundant to-day, and sold between banks at 50c per $1,000 Premium. = The complete recovery from the panic ceused by the Boston fire is attested by the prices of Government bonds and railway stocks. The former aro fully up to the prices before the fire, and notwithstanding the inflated condition of railway etocks for the last month, even they are up again to sbout the prices of Saturday, Nov. 9. It is now believed thatmsay of the Boston insurance companies whoso capital was wiped out by the firawill subscribe new capital, pay their losses, and resume business. THE DOWLES FAILUEE. The failure of Bowles Bros. & Co. does not excite much eurprige, as it was known that they conducted their business ina loose manner. An instance of it was in the freedom with which they issued letters of credit toall respectably- connected Americans travelling in Europe. An American might call at their offices in London, Paris, and Geneva, and raceive a letter of credib 10 2 dozen Europesn banks, suthorizing him to draw on them atsightforany smount under 5,000 or £10,000. Innine cases out of ten Messrs. Bowles Brothers & Co., demanded no security of the recipient, of the letter of credit. All that was required of him was that when he drew apon Bowles Brothers, in any part of Europe, ho ehould give to their correspondent who cashed the draft, a check upon any bauker in the United States, where the drawer claimed to to lave credit. Messrs. Bowles con- tinned this system of bLusiness for several years, and, remarkable a3 it may seem, it was claimed for a long time that they met with no considerable losses. Whilo this was doubt- less very flattering to ihe national pride of ‘Americans travelling in Burope, it was a risk that no prudent banker would take, and it seems this was finally one of the main causes of their failure, Last week the Bowles Brothers applied to Drexel, Morgen & Co. to moke some errangement for protecting letters of credit then in their hands of travellers on the Continent. But Drexel, Morgan & Co. declined to assumo sny such Te.. sponeibility without eecurity, which the Bowleses ~wwere unable to give, and the negotiations failed. The New York agent of the Bowles Brothers £oy8 that every autumn they have experienced a pressure for money when Americans began to come homo after their sammer tours. This fall, they have failed to collect on a large amount of drafts drawn without suthority, by tourists, and, as the actusal capital of the Bowleses was small compzred to the extent and riske of their busi- ness, they failed. The event has more financial interest in view of the insecurity of doing busi- mess ‘“‘upon honor,” than it has in connection with the loss to the public which will not exceed £500,600, £nd mey possibly be much less. TO PREVENT TIE SALE OF STOLEN BONDS, the Legislature of the State of New York passed a lawin March, 1871, whereby the holders and owners of the bonds of any corporation of that State could render them non-negotiable. When- ever the bonds of corporations in the State of New York are offered for sale, purchasers should bear this legnl provision in mind, viz: SecxzoN 1, It shall be lawful for any person or ‘persons owning and holding any railroad mortgage ‘onds or cther corporate bonds (for which & registry ismot by law provided) heretotors iesued, or which may be hereafier issued, and_made payable in this State, and which are made pzyablo {0 Learer, to ren- der the same non-negotiable by the owner and holder indorsing upon the sume and subscribing s _stztement that eaid bond is the property of such owner, And thereupon the principil sum of morey mentioned in 2aid bond shall only be pavable to such owner or his legal representstivcs or assignees, Sec, 2. The bonds descriled and referred to n the £rst section of this act may be transferred by an in- dorsement in blank, giviog name and residence of sssignor, or they may be transferred by an indorse- Tment payable to bearer or to the order of the pur- chaser (Raming him) subscrived by the zssignor, giv- ing name and placa of risidence. ' _THE ST. PAUL & PACIFIO. Messrs., Joy Cooke & Co. have published a sircular denying that there are, or have been, any pegotistions pending befween the Rock Jeland Company and the St. Paul & Pacific, and 2lso that there hes been any default of interest payments on thio St. Paul & Pacific bonds. They state, moreover, that the finences of the Sf. Paul & Pacific Company are wholly distinct from 1hose of the Northern Pacific, and, finally, that the remaining work on the St. Paul & Pacifie will be completed earlyin the Epring. RATLROAD CONSOLIDATION. A coneu)f:ndent of 5 Western paper_claims to have knowledge of & purpose to consolidata sev- cral new roads, 0 28 to mske one continuous line from Indignopolis, Ind., to Lincoln, Neb., Siz: Tho Indiacapolis, Bloomington & West- ern, with its extension to Keokuk Bridge, across the’ Mississippi River, the Missouri, Iows & Nebraska, under construction and nearly com- pleted, from Keokuk scross Towa to Nebraska ity, on the 3issouri River, tho Midland Pacific Railivay, completed from Nebraska City fo Lin- coln, the capitol of Nebraska, and under con- tract to be finished to a conneciton with the Urion Pacific leilroad, near Grand Island, not iar from Fort Kearney. — REAL ESTATE.

[ 48 34 Balg huls U 1,862 1,998 Withdrawn from store yestorday for city con- sumption; 3,797 bu oats ; 5,414 bu onts; 703 bu ye. Tho following grain has been inspected into store this morning up to 10 o'clock: 165 cars wheat ; 110 cers corn ; 33 cars oats; 13 cars ryo; 62 cars barley. Total, 833 cars, or 145,000 bu. It was anpounced on 'Change to-day thata Comnmittee, consisting of Messrs. Ray, Eershaw, McLeren, Shaw, and Dalding, will arrive here in o dayor two from the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce to confer in relation to limiting the hours of Western trading. They will meeta Committes from our Board of Trade, consistin; of Messrs. Bromard, C. Pope, Helmer, B.I. Murphy, and Cooley. 1t was remarked upon to-day as very singular that the Grain Registrar in this city should have yesterday issucd a bulletin of stocks in store in Chicago on Saturday evening last, in which he credited the four clovators of George Armour & Co. with 116,262 bu wheat, end 103,640 bu corn, more than was cleimed in the statement made by that firm, and posted at the same time. It could not be that the Registrar had not time to Teviso his own statement, as that of Armour & Co. was handed in to him at 5 o'clock on tho previous evening. It was also re- marked upon Was very siogular that this discrep- ency should hava grown up within the six wecks that have elapsed since the Chief Inspector of Grain took a measuring tour among tho eleva- tors. Those who thus wondered were evident- Iy under the impression the Registrar accepled the messures of the Inepector 23 " basis on which to reckon afresh; but it would seem that the Registrar Frefeu’ed to continue his calculations from the ast report made by Muon & Scotf, which was dated a fow dars before our Great Fire. We Lave heard of navigators who preferred tostick to the £ @ead reckoning” from ono end of a long voy- age to the other, and only took observations of the sun and stars for the purpose of proving that the sextant is a humbug; but we were not previously aware that the same policy was pressed on tho land whero all is sup- posed to be plain (not plane) eailing, We ara 1ree tosay that the Registrar would be in the right if hecould only bo sure thatbe started with & correct assumption in regard to the amounts of grain in store, when he cntered on tho duties of his office, but inasmuch =2s that point of departure was, itself, only a guess, the subsequent,_reckoning ought to bo corrocted whenever circumstances aiford the opportunity. While on this point, we may as wall intimate thet there aro parties on the floor of the Ex- change who claim to have an indiatinet recollec- tion of tho fact that the warehousemen are, or were,required to make oath to the correctness of their ststements, which were required to be made once o week. Of course, they are mistak~ en. It would bo the height of folly to suppose that perjury has ever been committed in making returns which have not baen made at all for so long & period that some _of the warchousemen &cem to have regarded was adead letter. Bub the awkward feet re- meins that there aro two sets of figures, which aro startlingly different; they cannot both ba right. Seeing this, the announcement of tho Pegistrar, that ho will investigato, with & view to ascertain the cause of the difference, 13 most welcome. But it would be more eatisfactory if he had told whether ho intends to find out the ?‘rimn.ry, or only the proximate causo, tho former, he will probably need to go back, at least, as far as 1838, and find out how much of other people’s property was eold to meet a 1088 of, #ay, three quartera of & million dollers, which made it necessary for Jesse Hoyt to como to the rescue. There is little doubt that the other warchouse- men of the ci:lv are cven more surprised than are the general public, at thie rovelations mada with regard to the condition of the glalta) Alunn & Beott elevators. say that they had no knowledge € of Lge mortgage to Jessie Hoyt, and no idea that there was such a tremendous shortage as Les recently been discovered. Neither did thoy know of the pressure that was exerted upon some grain receivers and sbippers who were supposed to know too much ; and who, for that Teason, did not dare to tell what they know, ox- cept by innuendo, and then only under pledge of secresy. THE MARKETS. Tho leading produce markets wero quiet to- day—generally dull, with an essior tendency in some departments, though no weakness, oxcept in provisions. Yesterdsy wzs a period of reac- tion from the depression of Monday, and to-day we had & leaning towards reaction the cther way, principally owing to the tightness of money—for the articlé is tight among produce dealers, hovw- ever itmay be outside. The receipts were mod- erate, and the shipping movemont rather slow, a8 there is little incitement to activity on the lake just now. The effects of iho Boston fire were not discuseed to any extent to-dsy, but it was generally understood thet operators were more cereful, in view of the expected grehter ecuniary stringency the coming winter. Fathe grocery markct there was only slight change to note, Bugars wero exceedingly fitm, owing to the 3¢c advance established yesterday in New York, and coffees slso were strong, in sympeathy with New York. For other goods in the list & great feeling provailed, and values werg generally steady. Dry goods were moving on o liberal sealo for the season, =and all staple fabrics were firmly held at former quotations. The tendency in the heavier woollens is rather to ad- vance, owing t6 the enhenced cost of the raw material consequent upon the wholesale destruc- tion of this staplo in the Boston fire. The cot- ton goods market, it is thought, will not be ma- terially influenced" by tho losses &t Boston. Only ‘s moderate demand existed for bute ter and cheeso, and, zlthough both of theso staples were easy, prices were without quateble change, tho former gelling ot 7@26e, and the latter 2t 13@16c. _Coal remains firm, 28 previously quoted. Tho fish trade ruled quict firm.” The supply of fat mackerel and white- fiahisrc%nrte\i light, but otherwise stocks are ample. Dried fruits remain quiet, with littlo variation in prices. Hay was dull and easy. Hides were inactive and weak. Inthe leather market thero was a fair emount of trading, and prices of domestic stock wers higher. Oils, tobmoccs, and wood remein without_important chango, The lumber trade was quiet and unchanged. Linte, cement, &c., were iu the usual demand, prices vemslning without visiblo chango rick is o shade frmer, deslers being better sble to make deliveries. Thers vas o fair inquiry for coopersge, to-day. Sales wero mede of pork burrels nf $1.50, and lard tierces a SL75. Hops wero in {air demand among brewers for immediate con- sumption. We continue to quote prime at 25@ 30c. Iron and steel, metals, ond tinners’ stock were without change; the demand was fair at former rates. Salt continues active and firm. Seeds were quict and quito firm ab $2.80@2.83 for prime _timothy; clover scarca and firm st $5.00@5.105 other meeds quiet and steady. The ‘wool market remains unsettled. Dealers are waiting to learn the effect the fire will Lave upon the market ; it is generally believed that prices must advence soon. Potatoes were quiet; sales on track are slow, aud dealers are unwilling to pay tho high rates asked for delivering. Poultry and game werein some demand at lower prices. Aj ples are in fair request for shipment. Other fmits in moderate demand at previous prices. Highwines were dull, but firm, in sympathy with New York ; seles being confined to” 50 brls at90c. There was very little offering at tlat price, most holders stating that they could af- ford to wait for a further advance. Lake freights were dull, and steady during the greater part of the session st yesterday's rates, at 9 for corn, and 10c for whent to Baffa- lo; but closed lower, at 83¢c and 93¢c. About 10 vesels were stripping _to-dey, Jrepating for the winter, and several others will follow suit this week. A total of G charters was roported, which will carry out 56,000 bu wheat, and 90,001 bu corn. Provisions were rather more active, except on pork, and weak. The largor receipts of hogs causing lower prices for thom in the sbsence of a packing demand, caused holders of products, and short sellers, to be less strong In their views, and enabled several brokors to fill orders, the limits on which did not permit them to operate previously. Mess pork was very dull, and 10@ 15¢ per brllower on the options talked about, while cash lots were quoted by holders as wunchanged; it is probable, however, that eales could not have been effected except at a reduction. Lard was active, bub 3¢e lower than our previous -quotations, though it was ru- mored that tho sale made yesterday on private terms was at to-duy's figures. Moats wero also eagier, though in some demand. The mar- Lot closed at the following range of prices: Mees_pork, old held at €15.00; new pork, $13.25@13.50; do eeller the month nomins abt £18.00; do eeller Docember, £12.3744@ 12.50; do seller January, 812.25@12.80; do selier February, nominal; do scller March, $12.30@ 12.374 5 'do seller April, $12.50@12.60.

There was some shipping inquiry for low grades, princifinlly on_Canadian accowt; bus the general market wasdull, owing to the difficulty experienced in making deliv- eries, 2s the horses have not {ut got to work, Receivers have asked, several days ago, that £hipmonts to this city shall bo suspended, as near as may be, till tho horse epidemic is over; 2nd hence they do not anticipate eny pressuro to eell till the embargo on _travel is re- moved. Bran was plenty, and again lowr, Sales were reported of 100 brls white winters at £9.00 ; 50 brls do at €8.50 ; 50 brls do_at $7.50; 100 brls do at $7.00; 100 brls do at 26.75; 250 Drls on private torms ; 100 brls spring oxtras at £6.25 ; 100 brls do at 85.75 ; 50 brls do at 85.50; *450 brls on private terms ; 200 brls rye on Er vate terms ; 10 brls buckwheat at £6.75 ; 50 bils do at $6.50 ; 25 brls do (Early Rtiser) at S6.50.

The sYacumiva markeg was very steady, but consistod largely of chang- ing over from'this monthto next, at about Ic differenco ; tho premium measuring the anxiety that existed to avoid carrying for this month. We note additional deliveries to-day of wheat onthe option of seller tho vear. The disposition is growing to avoid holding ; not &o much thata decline is feared, a8 because it is difii- cult to command the use of money. TEo ship- ping interest purchased a litls moro frocly to-day, of all grades, but their inquiries were gonerally for receipts in certain bhouses, in which thiey already owned part cargoes. “The prospects aro thought to bo good for shipping tho better grades, s sound wheat is largely wanted in Turope,—they Lave onough of tho inforior qualities on hand already. _Seller De- cember opened at S1.04, advanced to S1.083¢, do- clined to $1.03%¢, and closed at £1.0337.

Total, 113,600 bu. Corn was moderately active, but very irreg- gular, at an everage advance of e, though quoted easier in New York. The demand was principally for this month, and the option was strong. 'This was generally ascribed to a de- sire_on the part of the November sliorts to fill ; but it looked as if some parties wero “ going long,” busing up all the cash corn there 38 in the market, thinking it willbo good property, as our stocks aro much smaller than has beon thought, and there would seem fo be but little more old corn to come in. Corn for next mouth's delivery was weak, apparently becauso itis tho improssion - that most of tlio new corn will then be dry enough to grade as No. 2, and oporators expect enough of it, as soon as it is found to Lo enough to pass muster. A fair proportion of tho current receipts aro new, but inspect as re- jected. Seller the month opened at 32¢c, ad- vanced ¥e, declined to 8137c, improved to '32c, &nd closed at 318{@32.

The various statements of crop condittons and market prospects, hitherto published in pieces, are thus summarized by the - American Trade Journal : The crops of the United States are admittedly largo in yield this year, particularly in wheat and corn, and California has grown more wheat than in any previous year. In Europe the returns are not so satisfactory; France has produced an abundance of breadstufls, alsg Spain, but Germany shows a deficiency, and the United Kingdom is far short of the average, 'Central Europe and Russis have a fair yield, but the aggregate of sll Europo will short about one hundred millions of bushels in cereals, Tho wheat crop of England is estimated to be 20 per cent less than the usual yield, and the consequent requirements of the Kingdom will probably be 80,000,000 bushels. To the United States, therefore, will be afforded a favorable ‘marlket for its large surplus, 2nd probably better prices fhan now exist. “The deficfency of tho root crop ln Europe, 33 per cent, will, it is presumed, also_causea liberal consumption of corn, which, commanding but half tho prico of wheat, must becomo & substitute to so large on cxtent as to causo its mnearer approximation in value to tho higher cereal. AIr, Eains Jackson, the Britich Statistician,hag estimatod tho sources of supplics to Logland tnus: _ From Califor- nia, 1,250,000 quarters ; the Atlantio States, 2,250,000 quarters ; Ruseis, 1,000,000 ; Germany, 2,000,000 quar~ ters, The Black and Mediterrean Sea countries, 1,600, 200 duartors, and Canads, 1,500,000 quarters, nd the sbove cetimato aesumes the Teceipt of 13,000,000 sgainst {he 16,000,000 quarters which were actually consumed . in the previous year, 4VGI0E ¥ROM THE CoUNTRY. HLAND, Troguols Co., Nov. 17 To the Editer of Tha Ciicags Tty 0" 1 173 Desn S : I noticed in your paper somo time Bmce an article in regard o freight charges, I wish to say corn cannot be produced for gflc per bushel in any part of this State. The best of farms_will not gredued sufficient to support a large family. 'This state of affairs cannof be en- dured long, nor will not. When the law ceases to be a protection to citizens they must protect themselyes,—as in_ the case of rail roads in this State when a law was passed regulating passenger rates and aleo freight, instead of obeying the law, the charges were immediately advanced, by order of the officers. I spesk advisedly when I say railroads must reduce their charges, or cease to run in less than one year. Money may rule over legislators, but the thohsands who have slaved for years only to lose all by the robbery of moneyed monopolies cannot be so cheaply bought. I admire your paper for the course it has taken, and, if pursued in the future, will resp o good harvest in.the end. Yours, respectfully, 8. O. RoBER1s. BAN FRANCISCO. o The exports of San Francisco are incrensing in vast proportions, especially in California wines and wheat. The shipments of wheat amount to 8,000,000 centals (5,000,000 bushels), more then three times as much as was shipper in 1871 during the same months. The amount of flour is about the same,—198,298 brls,—of which Ching alone has taken 83,000 brls. The shipments of barley have ealso great- ly increased, bein, 233,333 bu against 16,666 bu in1871, The entire value of ex- ports for 1872 is $15,242,738, agninst 910,547,503 for 1871, China and Japan taking nearly $2,000,- 600 of this amount. Among the recent exports are: Flour, brls, 195,2093 wheat, 100 Ib sacks, 2,957,179; barley, 100 Ib sacks, 140,482; oats, 100 1b sncks, 9,365; hides, No. 72, 399 wool, 1bs, 1,991,058 ; quicksilver, flasks, 9,383; wine, gal- lons, 411,018 ; wine, cases, 7.018. THE HOG CROP. The Quiney (T1l.) Whig enys: The reports from all over the country go to show that the increaso of hogs over last year will bo about ono million—the number packed in' the United States in 1871 being estimsted at six millions—while the Tecords of the Board of Equalization show an increase in Adams County of 12,042 and in the State of eight hundred thousand. 'The area for corn-growing is, of course, extending rapidly westward, but at the same time Illinois yields o much larger crop than for many years previous, consequently the sctual num- ber of hogs will not only be Increased, but ihieir weight also will be much groater, It ia said that corn i 60 abundant in this Blate and Towa that hogs six months old lcst spring will bo fattenod 60 as to weigh 300 or 350 pounds, and afford a disproportionate yield of lard ; with the increase of lard, its price will necessarily go down. As it is better to understand and accept the “situz~ tion " ot once, wo may here state that this enormous increase in the hog product is bound to make tho price of hogs considerably less than lst year, particularly as there is little prospect for g0 great & foreign demand as during the Franco-Prussian war, Lagt year the price averaged 4 cents and thoso who held their product for galo on orders throughout the country lost money. If it is cxpected to cut oga this year as o money making business, wo do not believe the price should range over 3 cents, or at the highest 3) in this section. We understind that St. Louis houses are making small contracts at 4 cents to_be de- livered this montl, though tho St. Louis papers think 83¢ will be tue ruling rates.
