On firet- slass collaterals moneyis to be had at from 10 o012 per cent for 50 Cays, but for 60 and 90 3ays cannob bg had for less than 15 per cent. Local stocks ere still freely offered at coneider- able reductions on the prices of a few weeks ago, though there are fow enles, because few people have the ready money to invest. Some of the stocks of well-established and thoroughlz- wied institations like City Railweys, Union 3tock Yard, and some of tho National Bank stocks, are being offered at from 8 to 10 per. c_ent below what they are worth as interest paying investments. There are otbers, however, that investigation would ebow were not worth £0 per cent of the prices at which they are exinally €] = Thursday, Nov. 28, being a legal holiday by roclamation of the Governor of this State, all frvelitios maturing in bank on that day will be- come due and payable on Wednesday, the 27th. New York exchange was scarce and firm again, co-day, at about 50c per 1,000 premium for sales between banks. o e y The fact that the corner in Northwestern caused the failure of a bank in Cincinnati, may suggest to some, the inquiry as to whether the well-known speculative proclivities of Chicago men may not have been the means of losses here. On this point, we believe it sefe to eay that Chicago speculators have had very little interest in the Northwestern gamble. The corn, oats, and wheat corners of the last four months have left speculators hero a good deal demoralized. But, even if this had not been the case, the Northwestern operation ‘was understood here to be a very *‘ mixed deal,” asort of three-cornered fight; first, between the parties of bulls for the control of the stock, and secondly, between these on the one side and the bears on the other. Under these views few persons here would have gone in anyhow. We hear of no Chicago speculators who have lost anything except one, who has parted company with $20,000 of his money on * the short side. BELOW THEIR LEGAL NESERVES. The Boston Bullelin of the 22d says that since the fire some of the banks of that city are dis- counting and doing business generally utterly regardless of the 25 per ceut reserve required bylaw. These banks believe in what may bo termed the higher law of necessity, and they claim that the Comptrollerof the Currency coun- tenanced a similar conrse of action at the time of the Chicago fire. In this connection, how- ever, we would inform the Bulletinand the Boston bankers, that the Chicago banks did mot run below their 25 per cent Teserve, and as forany “countenance” which Comptroller Hulburd may have given to that or anytfling else, it should not establish a prece- dent to be followed. Comptroller Hulburd *¢ conntenancad " rather too many things during his term of office. -Among other things, he “countenanced” a carriage and horses from & Memphis banker, and it is not im- robable that _developments may yeb e meade with regard to certain Natiopal Banks that_will give evidence of more “ countenancing.” But as far as running below the legal 25 per cent reserve is concerned, the Jate Comptroller cannot be held responsiblo for the present disposition to disregard the legal re- quirement. Secretary Boutwell, however, did establish the precedent during the stringency in New York about seven weeks azo, by encourag- ing the banks of that city to_trench on their Tegerves with impunity. The New York Finan- cial Chronicle furnishes an elaborate analysis of the reports of the National Banks of the United States made Oct. 3, which shows that the 1,639 “country” banks, of whom only 15 per cent legal reserve is required by law, held an average of over 19 per cent, while the 230 banks in the Tedemption cities, of whom 25 per cent legal re- £erve 18 required, held an average of only about 24 per cent, and that out of this 230 banks in the Tedemption cities the 50 National Banks of New York City were nearly- $1,000,000 ehort : Liabilities to Per centof States and Ter- No.of beprotecied reserre to ritorics.

Nevertheless, they indicate the tendency of finances, and a comparison of the everage legal reserves of the banks on Oct. 3, 1872, as compared with the same on Oct. 2, 1871, in the table furnished by the Chronicle, shows the grester stringency of money this fall than last. 1t is probable, however, thatifa true statement of the condition of the National Banks st the pres- enttime could be hadit would showa much stecnbaer Qeficiency in their reserves than on ct. 3. CHECES AGAINST INSUEFICIENT BALANCES. Ina case recently decided by the Court of Common Pless ~ of Philadelphia, the Court roled that where & holder of a check offers to take s less sum than the fall amount of the check, it is the duty of the bankto peyait to him and indorse the amount paid on the check, We quote from the decision : “If sach a checkis an appropriation of the whole sum for which it call, if somuchi i8 in the Dhands of the banker, it is &n appropriation of any smaller sum which may be in Lis hands if there be wmot suflicien, to pay the smount of the check. Iu’ £uch a case, if the holder of the check is willing toreceive the smaller sum, s the bank is en- titled to refain the check &s evidence of pay- ment, and of the holder’s right to receive the morey, it should indorse tho amount of its pay- ment on the check, and issue totheholdera ceriificato of haviig received the check from ]::_E_lz ,and Dhaving paid so much cn sccount of it _ . THE TEA TRADE. The position of Chicago in the tea trade of the United States, coming ig the port of San Fran- cigco, is indicated byithe freight list of teas brought by the steamer Japan, which arrived at San Frencisco Nov. 16, from Yokchams and Hong Kong: For San Francisco, 6,620 pack- ages for Chicago, 2,870 packages ; St. Louis, 31 packages ; Bontreal and Toronto, 435 pack- eges; New York, 8,902 vackages; ~Bos- to the difference of views of buyers and sellera, Toformation gathered from native sources rep- Tesents the quentity of teas of any grade (but particularly of medium and _common grades) to come forward yet, s verylight. But itis in- timated that thesé reporis are ex!gsemted for the purpose of affecting the marketand, also that the Japaness have made & gort of speculative combination to keep prices high.

COMMERCIAL, TrEsDAY EVENING, Nov. 20, The following were the receipts and shipments of the leading articles of produce in this city during the past twenty-four hours, and for the corresponding date a year ago: ARIEAENTS. 1572, | 187 742 16,850 127,311 Flour, brls Tath, m Balt, brls Withdrawn from £tore, yesterday. for city con- sumption: 4,042 bu wheat; 4,086 bu corn; 8,739 bu oats; 1,942 bu rye; 8,006 bu barley. The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: 144 cars wheat ; 78 cars corn; 17 cars oats; 9 cars rye; 58 cars barley. Total 306 cars, or 122,000 bu. The grain in the warchouses of George Ar- mour & Co. has been weighed, and the results (given below) very nearly agree with the ““eatimates” made by that firm soon after they zssumed control of the houses, when surrendered by Munn & Scott, who will long be notorious for their cormer in ‘“Northwestern.” The other warehousemen will weigh over or measure their grain some time this month, and submit statements. 1Itis very unlikely that there will be any material discrepancy between the result- ing figures and the present statements. With this most, if not all of them, will submit state- ments of the amount of grain paper out against them, so that the public can see that the Munn & Bcott method of running a warehouse has no parallel in this city. The leading produce markets were generally dull to-day, and several were weak as n conse- quence of a decline in New York and full re- ceipts here. The ehipping movement was quiet, and it seems probable thet we are near the point ‘where the stocks of grain in this city will be at the minimum of this winter. If o, the sooner the warehousemen take sccount of stocks, the less of trouble will they meat with in the opera- tion. The goods trade was again reported sctive, The atiendance of buy- ers in person was mot large, but there wasa *‘rush” of orders, and the interiors of our leading wholesale houses presented an ani- mated scene. The feeling developed was one of pronounced firmness, and not_only were former quotations invariably sustained, but in bleached cottons, paper cambrics, and soma other lines of goods, 2 elight advance Wwas esteblished. Stocks sre tolerably full in all dopartments, snd tho wants of the interior trade are being promptly met. In the grocery market only a slight chango was noticezble. Nothing occurred to disturb tho quiet that has prevailed for a number of days past, and with _the exception of coffees, which are still held with some ehow of fimnees, the prevalent feeling was easy. There was a fair movement in good to choice grades of butter, at full former rates, while the poorer soris were ‘more or less neglected. Cheese remains dull and unchenged. Thero was o liberal demand for coal, both on local and interior accounts, and the market was strong at former quotations. No new features were noted in the fish market. Aside from _ supplying local wants there was little doing, Dbut light stocks induce a firm fecling. and dealers ere not urging sales_save at very full prices. Dried fruits were fairly active, with little orno variation in prices. The hay markot was strong &t the late advance, Arrivals were meagre, but ghout equelled the demand, which was mainly restricted to supplying the immediate wants of quoted quiet snd unchanged. The average amount of trading at the lumber yards was no- ted to-day, previous prices being sustained. The demand for lime, cement, brick, &c., hag been rather bLetter than last week. Common brick are quoted at $11.50@15.00, with many dealers holding firmly at $12.00. The surplus in the hands of manufacturers is large. Coop- erage was quiet and without essential change. Iron, tin, copper, &c., were in very fair de- mand for ihe ‘season at previous prices. Wool was moderatively active; the receipts are longer and the market is quite firm; wool is moving quite freelyin the country, yet theraare & good many farmers and dealers who are hold- ing their property in anticipation of a further advance. Hops are in moderate demand, prime ‘Wieconsin is quoted at 25@30c. Beeds were rather quiet to-day. Timothy was firmer, $3.10 being bid for good seed. Clover was quoted at §5.00. Potatoes are ecarce and firm at 60 @65¢c on irack. Poultry was in lib- eral supply =and choice Jois salable to the localtrade; but mostof the offerings were poor, and sold slowly, at reduced prices. Game was in large supply, and prices ruled weaker. Apples and other fruit were in tolerably fair demand at previous prices. ‘Highwines were qbniet an@® steady at the de- cline of yesterdey.- Sales were made of 200 brls at 831¢c per gallon. Lake froights were quiet and steady at yester~ dny's rates, 113(c being paid for corn by sail to Buffalo, with wheat to do nominal at 12%cc. Thero was & fair inquiry for vessels, bat fow of- fered. A total of threo charters was reported,” which will carry out 22,000°bu wheat, 50,000 bu corn, and 35,000 bu oats. Very few moro vessels will go out this season. Dressed hogs were quiet and steady. A lot of 40 head was reported gold on the street at 43c perlb, The weather is yet too warm to permit them to come forward freely. . Provisions wero active, and with little change in prices. Hogs wero reported in liberal supply at the stock yards, and lower, the expectation being that tho receipts of this week will be among the largest ever, reported, and ~ do more to put down - prices than any packers combination could possibly do. This made buyers of product hold off, early, for furthor concessions in prices ; but sellers resolutely adhered to ti:e reduced quota- tions of yesterday, and buyers at Iast took hold quite freely, except in pork, for which there was very little demand, and the only option salo re- ported was at o decline, Lard was especialiy active, thedrop of yesterday having brought out rpumerous orders. DMeats were in fair request, English middles moving more freely than heratofors, but were easier.

Flour was very quict, and steady, at former prices. Dealers woro génerally asking highor fiSures, especially on Minnesotas, which were scarce, and claimed that all brands were in scent supply. Buyers were slow to take hold, in view of heaviness reported in New York ; hence but little was done. Buckwheat was carce and wanted; bran firm, and in good demand. Sales were reported of 150 brlsspring extras, at £6.00; 800 brls doat $5.90; 800 brls. do on pri- vate terms; 100 brls rye flour on private terms; 50 brls buckwheat at $8.00; 50 brls do at 7.50.

New York was lower, with larger_receipts thore and in Liver- pool, and our receipts look 8 if they are going to average 50,000 bu per day; which is, perinpu, ‘more than our market can bear with a light ship- ping movement and a tight money market. But the knowledge of the fact that our stocks are Tery light at present, and that even those receipta could be handled through next month by a strong party who might take a fancy to corner the market, was suflicient to preventa more decided drop. The fact is, that the greatma- jority of oporators are undecided how to steer between the Scylls and Charybdis above noted, and aro, therefore, disposed to Lie back on their oars and do nothing. The car lot assemblage was particularly dull to-dsy, as it requires ready money to operate there, and of that material there is a plentiful lack just now, very many having been badly skinned in some one of the numerous corners in produce during the past year.

Of these bonts the largest have each a carrying capacity for 225 tons of assorted cargo, o 2,000 barrels of flour, or 9,000 bushels of grain, The smaller boats have a carrying capacity of 125 tons, in proportion a8 indicated above, The average cost for the construc- tion of the boats used is, for the larger, $5,000, and for the smaller, about $2,000, The sverage monthly cost of running, inclucing tolls and towing, is about $800 per bosty wf.\xi;h,] it %l bo seen, fuvolvea & vory large capital for simply the running’ expenses of s season. The men nearly all compluin of the ‘manner in which tho canals have been managed by the Stato suthorities, 2nd express the hope, earnestly, that the next Legis lature will inaugurate o reform. Thoy charge the great falling off in the canal trade upon the failuro to keepthe canals in proper order, znd the Deavy tolls, by which, they declare, & vast business which now’secks railway and _other convesances, has Been driven away, They are anxious that the West " should be induced to return to the canals with all its former work, and they insist upon it that a proper sys- tem of repairs and charges would securo a Teturn and large additional profit to the State. Soon after the gpening of the Legislsturo attention will| be called to o canal question and many reforms asked, by tho adoption of which o large increzse of trade will, it is supposed, be the result. .

CATTLE—The condition of the cattle market, not only here but thronghout the country, is at the present time most unsatisfactory. From New York reports are to the effect that trade is lifeless with prices from lgc to lc lower than Inst week, while advices from Albany, Buffalo, and other points east are scarcely less discourag- ing. The reduction here, as compared with lnst week, is fully a 3{c and if the temper of buyers 23 manifested to-day msy be taken as s guide, & {for before the close of the current week. Dur- ing the forenoon there was little or mothln doing, the aggregate of sales falling below 300 * head. " Eh)gpers are sustaining heavy losses on. the cattle forwarded East last week, and they entered the yards this morning with the evident determination of buying, if af at decidedly lower prices. . On the other han holders, in view of the light receipts, were at the opening, firm in their demands, and a5 & re- “sult the volume of business transacted during the forenoon was inconsiderable. Subsequently & more compromising spirit was manifested, sellers giving way to the extent of 25 per 100 Ibg, but even this concession failed to impart any life to trade, and the market closed 2s it opened, dull, wesk, and unsettled. So far as oice and extra beeves are conc .ed the mar- ket is entirely nominal, as too few of these de- seriptions have been offered within the past two or days to establish reliable quotations. There was some inquiry for such, and judging by the prices paid for other grades, it i8 fair to presume that & few hundred heed of the right gort would have found purchasers at onr quotations. There were a number of good droves among the offerings, but with two or three exceptions nothing fotched over $5.00, while most of the iransfers were at the low range of $2.75@4.25. Some of the best lots were reloaded and forwarded Esst on owner's account. Butchers and feeders operated ina small way; the former at £3.00@4.25, and the Intterat $2.75@4.00. The market closed flat. @ QUOTATIONS.

And not without avail, for holders had be-, . come thoroughly demoralized by the overwhelm- ing supply, and seemed willing to accept almost any price that buyers miglt offer. Opening sales were reported at $3.95@4.25 for com- mon coarse heavy to extra light, but be- fore the close the same grades went beggirg 8t ©8.80@4.10—indicating & deprecistion of fully 85c since Saturday.
