¢ His CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 91, 1873 MONEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. ‘WEDNESDAY EVENTXNG, NoT. 20. The stringency of the local money market con- tinuea without any noticeable allevistion. Tho demand for accommodstion at the banks islarge, coming chiefly frem the mercantile departments of trade. The grain dealers, however, are not asking for much, {hus showing that they are operating moro on their own capital, and that thera is not much speculztion. v The deposits of tho banks of Chicago are esti- ated tobe from 12to 15 per cent lower thag they were at this time in 1871, whilo the leans are an average of 33 por cert higher than they were then. The banks are therefore expanded &0 or 50 per cent more than they were a year 8go. At this time last year, however, the deposits of the banks wero esperiencing an sbnormal increase from collections of insurance. At the same time the gemeral stoppage of business made 2 falling off in the losne. Bus sside from this, it is estimated that the banks are now expanded 25 or 80 per cent more than at any time previous to about Octe- ber 1. New York exchange continues ecarce end firm 2t from 50c to 75¢ per $1,000 premium, GOBBLING TP A RAILROAD. The reeent default of the Chicago & South- western Railroad Company to pasy the interest on the £5,000,000 of its bonds guaranteed by the Chicago & Rock Ieland Railroad Company, ex- cites 8 good deal of comment in finan- cial circles in New York, and also in Gormeny, whers the bonds are held, znd it is gencrally claimed that this oro event has done more to shake ihe confidence of European cepitalists in American gecurities gen- erally than snything else that has transpired for meerly a_year, not excopiing even the Boston fire. Itis alleged that the apprehension which this default occasioned induced ageneral distrust of all our eecuritics, and caused a decline in rices that extended even to United States onds. Coming =0 goon after the defanlt of the Rock- ford, Rock Island znd St. Lonie Company, who 2re just now compromising with their European Londholders by agreeing that the bonds shall represent one-half of their original face, and that the interest on this reduced indebl- edness shall be 4 per cent, instead of %, the defauit of the Southwestern might well create the impression, which it hns, that the road wag poor property, in a poor country, with 0 prospects of business, and, in short, a win- dle genorally. But Western men, who are ac- uainted with the country traversed by ths Southwestern, it termini at the important cities of Leavenworth and Atchison, and its exteasive rzilroad connections to New AMexico and Texas, know better than to suppose ihat the Sonth. western could not pay the interest on its bonds. As pear as it can be arrived at, the default on the interest on ‘tbe Dbonds s a precozceried arrangement on the part_ of the Rock - leland Company 1o order to depreciate the value of both the stock and bonds of the Southwestern, and cn- ablo the Rock Island *‘ring " to by them np at a henvy discount, and 80 gobble up the road. The Chicago & Southwestern Road, 270 miles long, from Waehington, Iow2, to Leavenworth, wss built with the five miliions of bonds whick +wero guaranteed by the Rock Isiend Company,— sold in Europe at 90c on the dollar,—and the propeeds of about one million dollars of sub- scriptions received from the variona towas and counties alongits line. The ‘' Atchison Branch” S0 miles lorg, from Czmeron to Atchison, was built with the proceeds of ore miilion of bonds jeexed by the Chicago & Southwestern Com- pany without any guarantee from the. Rock Ieland Company, this one million of konds being a first mortgage on the Atchinson Branch and 2 second mortgage on the main line. The entire cost of ihse road, therefore, was aboul $7,000,000, with a partial equipmant of rolling stock. The present capital stock is £9,000,000. Judging by the recent policy of the Rock Island cligue, who now coa- trol the Southwestern (Mr. Tracy being Presi- dent of the Southwestern 03 well as tho Rack I=land) it is their object to depress the value of the Southwestern bonds, 0 as to buy them up, foreclose the morizage, and get hold of the road at a cost of $8,000,000 or 4,000,000. The bonda of the Southwestern Company wers an sgree- ment to pay gold interest, bot the Rock Island arantes on thess bonds only specified currency interest, g discrepancy that Jooks as though the present de- feault was premeditated. But asido from this, jt is alleged thet the road hay been systematically mismsnaged, axd thet its earninga have becd purposely dimirished in order to give it the ap- pearance.of being a bad piece of property. An inetance of this alleged mismanagement is cited inthe refussal of the managers of tho road to ac- cept ths offer of tho Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Road—which is now finiehed to the crossing «of the Arkansas River—to take the cattle trafic of the latter road, which is very large, being in Aact a large proportion of all ‘the cattle from ‘Texss, which, until recenily, have been driven a8 far nporth =as Abilene, but nmow come via the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Feto Atchison. Mr. Joy has eincs <aken the cattle traflic of the A. T. & St. Feroad 2pd though he has to carry them 20 miles furth- «r over the Burlington & Miszonri Railroad, bas Probably got a protitable business ont of it. 1t i= alleged that if the Southwestern had tak- and other business that it has refused, it -on t] would now be more than able to pay the gold ia- terest onits bonds. The interest on_ the "$1,000,000 of bonds for the Atchison branch of ihe Southwestern falls due on December let. These bonds are not guaranteed by the Rock Island Company at all, 2nd the Rock Island ring who now control the Southwestern rosd counld, and possibly will, zake a default on this interest also as another step in their programme.

The warchouso question, and tho recent rev- elations concerning its capabilities for expan- £ton in the hands of euch mon as Munn & Scott, formed the subject of much comment on 'Change to-day. In fact, thero was moro resl discuesion wbout it then on any day for a long while past, hecanse the question was extensively raised—*Wkois to blame?” 3luan & Scozt could nct have been £0 far behird for several years without tho fact being known, in & gezeral way, to scveral peoplo. A firm ocecupy- ing o prominent position in the bu: nefis-‘-"orffl cannot hiang on to solvency by the skin of its teeth for feur yvears, without somo one noting tho precarious situation, and profiting by thas knowledge. It would be of great interest io the 1 corimunity to kaow who made mon- ey by keeping silent, and how much it profited them to eoy nothing about tho fact that the roputation of that house bada * falso bottom.” That thers arocuch men is morally certain; and it is nos improbabla that thay to be found to-dey emongz thoso who speakin terms of severes: condemnstion of the discov- 3,42bu corn ered fraud. Just 2sthe parasite that preys upoa a parasito is & more despizabls ani- mal than the intermediate pest, &0 are these sccond hand blood - suckers more to bo despised than tho men who do the original stealing. Yet they are protected by such a thick veil of eccrecy that it is doabtful if tho pablic finger of scorn will ever be pointed against them—much less will they ever euffer for the part they have played in the tragedy just terminated. Whatever disposition Munn & Scott matter, scovery of their conduct, and its uaiversa! reprotation, will be valueless if it do not resuit in at least two con- ditions. Oce is that the warehousemen of this city shall show that they deservo the paplic be made of the may be ccafidence, fair exhibit of ibeir tho otker is that ~ the a warchouse ehell be discredited, if it be known tka! ths pro- Erietors of that elevator gamsle in grain.

Teceipte, o to ehip ott grain withcut cancelling €0 much paper, there are a dozen different ways in which the werehouseman who *dezls” in grain can cheat the grain owners for his own Benefit. He can alvays take advantags of the difierence in quality of separate parcels of grain—ehippicg out the best, and reserving the poarest for the ordinary shipper; 2nd he can often operate on the knowledgo Le possesses regard to condition, especially in geasons of excitement about kot corn,” such as we have Lzd several fimes in the past. Bab even this & o emall argument compared with the cogent ono couched in the fact that our warckouse eystem of the past has done more than zll cther catses combized to drive eway the grain trado from this city. We reed not kere recapitulate facts which are fami- liar as household words in the mouthe of coun- iry dealers, and weil kuownto city operators. With the dicappearance of ~ Munn & Scott we have losl the ome concern that was confesgedly rotten. o now want to be eure that all the rest are sousd, and thel their buziness is conduiced in euch a way as shall make euspicion and complzint un- grounded in the future.

Tho probeble reason was that the shorts did most of their flling in yes- terday, and had got over their scare. At tho samo time, the few holdersof wheat, outside tho combination who control most of it, were very little disposed to part with their Sropcnj in view of the liberal shipments reported for yesterday, which have further decrcased our stocks to the estent of 115,000 bu, while some operatora aro disposed to think thot the stock of wheat hero on Saturday last is consderably less than the 582,257 bu which résult from allowing the defi- ciency reported by George Armonr & Co. It is Dot probable. however, that the satocks will be found to vary very much from those diminished figures; snd we shall know next Tuesdny, as Goorge Armour & Co. are now meesuring up, and some of the other ware- Thoasemon will 2180 know just where they stand.

Berger Spence, of Manchester, Eng., thus E cbn];gof tho chemical market, under date of ct. 23 During the past week there has been 3 mederate yet 1upon tho wholo a satisfactory trade trancacted in cheme icals, and quotations all round remain unchauged. Un- certainty regarding the future course of tho market still restricts contract business, but from the evident indifferenco of manufacturers to undertake engage- ments for delivery over next year on buyers' torms, it does not seem 8s if the prescut range of values wers likely torecedo to the oxtent anticipated. In the mean~ fime their xesources are, in many cases, {nsutficient to meet current consumption, and it is ot expected that the conditions of production will change 50 as to ena- ble them materially to yield the advantages of lower prices, There has been a considerable inquiry for caua- tic soda for forward delivery, bat the amout of business passing is not large. Soda ash has been selling more freely, at slightly firmer rates. In soda crystalsan improved tone is'again noticeable, but no adyance can bo quoted. The demand for nitrate of sods has ot been quite so_animated as during the provious week, but such salesas wero effected realized ina great measuro_the values then current. No_ improvement can yetbe noted in muriate of potash, Bleaching powder has becn quiet throughont, but salos have not been preseed, and quotations remain statiouary, A good trude continues to be done in sulphate of zmme- nia at foll prie In oxalic acid there has been a feir business doneat our quotations, Tartaric firm, XOW 13 TmIS ? An exchange says: ‘It is claimod by the St Paul Press that a wheat as well a8 a wood mo: opoly exists on some of the railronds leading i to that city, by which the price of grain there is arbitrarily kept under the standard in other places. On tho main ling of tlio St. Panl and acific Reilroad, says the Press, ara wheat-buy- ers for two distinct interests. One is the com- bination of Minneapolis millers, who roquire o large amount of grain for manufacture at the Falls, and the other represents Milwaules spec- ulators, whose purchases help to swoll the busi- ness of the Milwaukeo and St. Paul Railroad. Each of these parties is bound to confine itself ‘toits own territory, which has been st off ‘by mutualagreement, and not totrespassin any way upon the operations of its rival. Each bas sgrecd upon & meximum price to be paid for _wheat, and neither will receive, at any price, grain that has been purchased from tho farmer at a higher figure than they have get, Sothat when slocal buyer, in view of the greav dis- arity between the value of wheat in_ Milwau- ico, deducting the costof gotting it there, and the combinstion prico, enters into com- ctition with the ring for the produce of is region, and pays five or ten cents per bushel more than the fixed prico, he nt once finds him- sclf in the position of the wood buyer who has contravenod the rules of the railroad in regard tothe price of wood. He can do nothing with hie wheat. Neither party of buyers will take it off his hands, and he finds it impracticable;to ob- tain transportation facilitics for an indepéndent ‘shipment. -By this means, tho_buying price of wheat, on the St. Paul and Pacific Road is kept from fivo to ten cents below its actual value, and the farmers are robbed of this smount, in this yeor of low prices, for the benofit of the mem- ers of the corporation.” LATEST. * In the afternoon wheat was moderately active and stronger : No. 2 epring sold at S1.081{ cash, $1.08@1.08}4 seller the month and sellor December, the option. closing at 1.03.

CATTLE—TLe easy fecling noticeablo in the cattle market yesterday was oven more marked to-Gsy, the weakness doveloping into an actual decling. The cause of the present depression in the market is found in the too liberal receipts and the unfavorable reaction of prices in the Eastern markets—New York, Albany, and Buf- falo being quoted dull and lower. The arrivals for tho thiree days aggregate about 9,000 bead— anumber altogether too large to throw upon the market at this season of the year, when the cbeapor meats from tho packing houses and the shundance of poultry and game 8o largely diminishes the consumption of beef. e.aver- age reduction in prices was about 25¢ per 100 1bs, though in not a few insiances con- cessions of 35c, and even 50c, was granted. The quality of the offerings was mot as good 2 on yesterday or Monday, there being no extra and comperatively few that would profierly come under the head of choice, and we find the bulk of the day'sbusiness tohave been transact- od at prices renging downward from £5.25. The exireme rznge was $2.25@6.00, the inside for scallawags and the outside for 4 drove of choica smooth steers aversging 1,352 1bs, Shippers operated chiefly at $3.50@4.85 for common to extra Texans, and at $L.75@35.75 for common to choice natives. The demand for stock steers continues [air, a liberal number changing hands at 32.75@3.00 for common, and at $3.50@4.00 for medium to really good lots. Thoe wants of Jocal butchers wore mainly supplied at 32.50@ 4.U0, though in o few instances 34.25@4.75 was paid. Not far from 3,000 cattle remain in the yards unsold, and the market closed weuk with » downward look. QuoTaTIONS, Estra—Graded steers averaging 1,400 153 $6.40@6.60 and upwards.

Cousequeutly cou- sidorable nneasiness was early manifested amoug packers, and it soon bocame evident that their declarations, so confidently made on tho precediug days of tho week that they wonld pack no hogs at over £4.00, would prove no bar- Tier to operations whenever thesnpply might fall below the logitimate demauds. Defore midday this class of Luyers wore picking up the bLogs lively at $4.10@4.15, aud, in some instances, at $4.20.

Shingles, lath, and choice grades had liberal sales on city ae- count.

Tho whorzEs trade for 1872 is closing eonsiderably earlier this yesr than in provious_years.- Reports arrive here that voseels are leaving Oconto and Me- Tnominee without cargoes, as the rivers are “ice- bound," and it is impossible for them to get in.

The river is full of logsfor many miles back, and from 50,000,000 to £0,0/0,000 feot will be left in the booms untilnext sesson. It is expected that nearly 310,000,000 feet vill be raft- ed out of the stream this year, shoadl the river not freeze up very suddenly. The season for the manufacture of lumber aod salfhas closed. Most of the salt-works aud lumber-pills are shat up. A few mills on the river, and Dauy on the railroads, will run all the wiuter. FMARINE INTELLIGENCE. PORT OF CHICAGO. ARRIVED.... Schr W. TL.
