Y77 aospax EvET, N The locs] money merket cpens thie et :s stringent as ever, 2nd this condition appears to ha\'egbecome chronic. This applies also to the | country tributary to Chicago. The country ‘benks generally scem to be Lard up, end it is to bé presumed the country merchants are ditto. There is considerable currency coming in from the conntry, but thers are zlso considerable amounts beirg sent out to be used in payment for hogs and cattle, : ad there i8 no accumula- tion of currency here, Thero is a large demand for New, York exchange, which shows that the indebtedness of Weatern merchants is being paid off as rapidly as collections can bo mado in the: country,: but it is evident that the farmers feel poor on account of the low prices of products and ths liquidation of indebtedness is difficuit. The falling off in the influx of foreign capitel in exchange for .reilroad bonds, which are not taken so readily in Europe, is undoubtedly ono of the causes of the present stringent effect. Contractors, me- gotistors, and other middle men in the West generally, who have assomed liabilities in the expectation of paying them off with the pro- ceeds of bonds sold in Europe, are in many cases unable to pay, and their default obliges their creditors to do the same thing. New York exchauge was fimat 75¢ per 81,000 remium for sales betweer banks to-day. fim price for exchange will keep the currency moving eastward. * . CUBBENCT INFLATION. Conversatiqu with business men in various epartments of trade in this city reveals the fact that mapy of them, and even some bankers, at~ tributethe prosent generel stringency of monoy foan insuflicient volume of currencr. This, however, only proves that & larze proportion, perhaps a majority, of our leading business men_ who Lave a thorough practical knowledge of the details of their specinitics in trade, and many even have a comprehensive knowledge of tho laws of supply and demand thet govern them, are ignorant of the principles govorning the more abstract questions of currency, and that their opinions in many cases given with em- pirical positivencss are to & great ex- tent erroneous. The most general and palpable . error eeems to be the opinion that &n increase in the volume of paper currency is i necessanly an increase in ihe volume of fioating | capitsl, or *money.”, lisny persons in respect<"{ S basiness standibe in tiis city, with whom we.bave. conversed on the sulject; seem to" ignore the fuct that fo have currency at all, we maust first have marketable wealth, fioating ox- changeable capital, to tura into currency, and that if we this sud had not a doliar of irredeomable paper money;, the exchange of this ‘marketoble wealth with othsr paris of the world would bring_the universal «urreucy of specie into_circulation here tothe fu#l.exient to which e bad any legitimate nccessity fcr currency of i An instance ‘which iiustrales the any A & i necessity of first having weaith to turn | into currency - before wWe can have _tho | currency, be found in tie may ~ory sentible view taken by the Compr-oller of the Correncyin his forthcoming repori in re- gard to the impracticability of the 325,000,000 re- distribution act by which $25,000,000 of National Bank circulation were to be taken from banks baving more than the arbitrary proportion as- corded to their States by law, and distributed among the banks in States that have less than that proportion. It is now nearly two and & half rs since the 54,000,000 of edditional National Tank cironlstion was shthorized, and yet many of the Southern and Western States heve not taken their allotted proportions, thus showing that it wes'not currency bub capilal that the; Iacked. On the other hand, many of the Eastern Btates where capital * is ~ comparatively sbundant, and rates of interest fow, are fimancielly eoble to sustain more currency then they havenow. They, nat- urally, resist the plan of taking away £25,000,000 of their circutation and holding it until the West und South shall accumulate the wealth to take it. The Eastorn States bave the cepital and might poseibly issue more carrency if it were not for the arbitrary legal limitation on the volume of National Bank circulation, Tf the legal limit of $354,000,000 to the Na- ‘tional Bank circuiution were removed, it would obsbly be found that the amount of currency Bt by, banks in tho Eastern Siates woali incrensa, because capital is_cheaper there, whilo it is not improbable thatthe amount iesued by banks in the Wesiern Siates would diminish, snd on the whole it is doubtful if the sggregate volume of bank notes wounld increass ruch, af least, if it did it would be very elowly from year to year. Those who fancy there is a necessity for more currency should bear in mind two important facts, viz: First, that no bank, community, or overnment, can heve currency_oscept a3 thes ve available capital to turn’ into it. Seco that in the National Bank system the Govern- ment is sll the time paying a prewmium to private citizens to turn their available capital into Na- tional Bark notes, and that this stimulus to the issus of paper money keeps sll the capital in- vested in bank notes that can poszibly Le used in the form of currency. It must be admitted - thaz if the National Banks k1 not the privilege of depositing 5 and 6 per cent bonds and gebting ot only the interest on these, but getting 30 and 90 per cent of the face of tho bonds returned fo them at once in the form of cur- rerey to Joan again, they would not issue so much circulation, The profit which the Nztion- 21 Banks meke on their circulating notes is 2 ‘bonus which the people pay to induce capitalists to crowd the avenues of eixvulation with paper money. If this bonus were no longer offered, or if it were diminished Ly obliging the banks to exchange their 5 and 6 per cent bonds for 4 and 42{ per cevts, the volums of paper money in circulation would certeinly diminish, The fact is that, inetesd of there being & necessity for more currency, the aggregzate volume of cur- rency is inflated now by means oi this bonus, If it were not 80, the specie thet is continually crowded out of the country by the fixed volume of paper money, which caninob be rodnced with- ont legislation, would stay with ‘us and become past of our ciréulating medium. DRAINS OF SPLCIE. Some days ago we referred in this column of Tre TRIBUNE to the groundless fears expresged by Mr. Boutwell insome of hiz electioneering eeches, and also by the New York Financial “hronicle and some ofher paper, sabout the dan- ger of drains of specie from tho United States in case Of specie Tesumption. Ve claimed that Europe could not draw from us anything but what was her o1 2ud that if she did drain us of specie it would only prove that wo had no right to have it, and were irying to keep what +we had no business to have, The Eng] com- mercial - community ers just now ex- periencing _some ~_ trepidaiion in view of & lic drain of specie from that country, but the Tondon Zimes of ®ov: 7, in_reviewing the situation, takes sub- stantially the same view of the case there now fhat we have, of o possible similar situation here after we have resumed specie payment. The Times say6: “The stato of our trade ehould be the only real question to concern us, and, if we can be satisfied that all is sound in that respecs, tho financial operations to be adjusted between other countries cannot aflect us, except profit- sbly, since, if sccommedations be sought from ms, it simply furnishes opportunitics for the tetporary employment of all available capital, sith perfoct safety, and on unusually good terms. The Drited States, Russie, France, and Austria have all forced paper currencies, and in Germa- ny and Hollatd silver only can be had. By no nation can lake Kffd Jrom us unless we owe it iy them or agree to lead it to them, 2nd in the latter casp all we have to do is to Jook to our own con- venience and to charge a8 much as we think de- | girable. For the present, it is believed the bank ‘accounts are still singulerly steady, and the rate of 6 per cent can be mainidined ithout check- ing businese. - Whether we _shall havo to raize our terms must depend on the exigencies of our seighbors, and 2ls0 on the extent to which they ey be willirig to permit a depreciation of their yarions cuirencies.” > STEAX ON THE ERIE CANAL. Some weels ago, in connection with the en- dcavor to construct a boat propelled by steam osrer and adapted to navigation of the Lrie ansl, e mentioned the steamer Willism Bax- ter s likely to be a success. This boat has just accomphsiied her return tip from New York to Daffalo, making foar miles ex hour. Those in- terested in the Baxter ars now confident of suc- cess in her speed, economy of fuel, and prac- ticability. Independent of tho State’s reward, & compar has been organized for the purpose of sbuilaing boats for a new transportation Jine, and #o introduce steam sppointments into the or apry boats that have been built, 2nd are build- fing, discarding wholly the questicn of monopoly. (OCMONETIZING SILVER AND A DECLINE IN 11§ VALUE. ‘The rabstitutior of 3 gold coinege for a silver one in Germany, end i2s probabiiity ihat the \s2me policy will be edapted by Holland, malkes \the prospect that the prico of silver sa compered <with gold will decline, end that depriving silver “n o coneiderable oxtent of its character as & cit« 7 1. 104.65 per Dutch £, and hasnot raised the prico culating medium may serionsly affect the money markets of Europe.” It is now understood that ‘the process of making this chenge has loclked up £65.000,000 of goldin Germany. The Bank of Holland also has decided to buy nomore silverat any price. It has hitherto bought silver at for years. A belief is entertained in Europo that Holland intends also to adoptugo}d.cnr- rency ; in which cose, says the London Z%mes, “ve may have to expoct ywithdzawals of gold oa Dutch account.” ~The decision of ~ the Baok of Holland has created great flat- Tess in the London market for silver, end it has fallen to 59%¢ per ounce—a quotation nob reviously touched for years. ‘The London Economist of Nov. 9says: The German Gov- ernment issues its now gold very slowly, and on- 1y in such quantities as bankers and other por- sons who keep stores of the precious metals are Tikely to take readily, zad likely, also, to rotain for 4 considerable time. Before long, according to the announced policy of tho Imperial Gov: ernnient, it will supersede silver, stcad of there belng various silver etandards, as till late- Iy, in ihe geveral States thmufihout Germany, there will be one Imperial gold standard. In consequence, 1o one likes to keep much silver 5 every individual, and still more every banlk, tries {o “pesson” thatmetal; every one sces that silver will soon be demonctized ; thet every one who holds a large stock of it when it is de- monetized'will be & heavy loser, The Economist predicts that this change from asilver toa $old coinage in Germany and Hol- land will meke money stringent in London “Thero will be, for a long time, & constant efilux of the metal, which is of principal use to us, and a constant influx of the metal, which is of Ittle use to us comparatively, and therefore there will bea constant ceuse always to prevent cheap money, ang elways tending to produce dear money, for alerp time to come.” ~ The London Times, also, of Norv. 9, takes 2 similar view of the case, an referring to the movement of gold to Germany in payment of the French indewnity, says : * At last the movement seems to have produced a general effect on the prices of all descriptions'of securities, and the.various markets have closed at o decline, to which there seems to be scarcely an exception.” .
