6 14E CHICAGO DATLY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 187 MONEY AND CORMMERCE. MONETARY. WepNESDAT EVENTSG, Nov. 2. The local money market presente no material change from the condition of {ho last week Money coutinucs as stringent as ever. Bankers generaliy are looking forward to some improve; ment in affairs when the money begins {o come back that is being paid out for hogs and cattle, but the effect of this can scarcely be experienced before the middle of next month. For the present, there does not scem to be much money in the country ; the country banks are about as Dbardup as they ever get tobe, and, in many instances, are wanting to borrow of their city correspondents. Pcople still ask whatis the cause of the present stringency. In brief and comprehen- sive lerms it moy be stated again, as we bave stated it several times before, first, low prices for grain and other products; sccond, a cessation in the influx of foreign capital to build railroads in the West; third, exorbitant freights for carry- ing Western products to the Atlantic seaboard. This latter is, of course, one of the causes of low prices for products, an aggravation of the evil, though not the whole cause. New York exchunge continues £carce and firm at 50c per §1,000 premium for sales between ‘bank: 0N THE SUBJECT OF CURRENCY INFLATION ‘we wroie some days ago that it was a common error among business men to imagine that an inerease of currency was an incresse of capital, and said that: ‘Lo have currency ab all, we must first have marketable wealth, floating, ‘exchangeable capital to turn into currency.” To _ this proposition, 3 well-inown banker and currency-inflationist takes exception in one of the daily papers as followa : - mhis is3ustwhat we have in the shaps of corn, wheat, porlk, beef, wool and other products in-gresd abuu- dance, o cxchangs there we must bave currency. 31 tae fatter is scarce, the exchange is retarded ; if it 18 lenty if is quickened. = . ow, the currency-inflation-banker has ,just got the cart Leforo” the horse. It is the move- ment of these products that makes currency, in the form of checks and bills of exchanga, which grathe paper represeatalives of bauk credit, sod are o far more important pert of the total volume of currency than tho bank notes or greeubacks in circulation. If it be claimed that it requires first acertzin nmount of more per- snanent currency to 56t this process of currency- aking in motion, we reply, that, if there were o & dollar of paper money (greenbacks or Yank Dotes) in cizculation, the demand of con- sumers 10T the crops would cause bankers to turn part of their capital into the universal currency, specie, tnd send it into the country to set the crops i motion. But the currency- infiation-banker isarguing for an arbitrary and Tosced increase of the yolume oOf currency, 50 that if shall - be disyroportionate fo the legiti- mate work to be dons by it, and 80 that people into whose hands it comes shall haston to got xid of it, knowing thatit is supersbundant,” and that this superabundince is depreciating its value—for this is the 1el cxplanation Of ~the nominal rise’in prices p:odaced by an overissie of paper money. Procetding to argue on this basis for an increased isiuo of greenbacks, ho says : 1In early times in thisreglor Georgo Smith moved Smost tho entire product bf the Northwest by his credl. Is his credit any more potent for such pur- pose thix the credit of the Govanment ? : Now, iarg the currency-nilativn-banker in- jertantly discloses the unsoundness of bis oulviz: fdess George Smiti's banking opera~ ons in the Norawrest were successful because he geuers] e a X e Braier=] (Rublic did not at that time fully e ®=lof jiobut that they were eminently what are Ulf T 4! eatting” or & dangerons inflation of creuws. op gn ins: o ‘basis of security for his ontstanding ohg,fl“’nfl; 10 banker can deny. George Smitp oW there was no legitimato demand foy I8 currency, therefore Lie had to fores j¢ Zuto circulation by gending it to his ngexts in sll paris of. the count: to offer _it, really, &b .a dis- co\:u:tfy by iving " pominally & g%h?; e rico for.tho products of tho country. 2 ?-mk it, but gl:{ rid of it ss_fast as possible, hustling it around from hand to hand, Tor fear that Smith, who was thus obliged to be_a epecu- Jator in =1l 'sorts of products, should fail, and his notes become worthless. . Tho Governient could not do anything of thiskind, It bas no nse for, and could nos speculsfe in wheat, pork, beef, wool, and other products. The Goyern- ment is not a epeculator that it should strain its credit ap to ibe point where people will distrust (its notes and hustle them zround from hand %o hand for fear of their depre- ciation, and tius _ ‘‘quicken “the exchange of predusts.” Neitheris the Govern- ment a banker, that it may lend its credit to gpeculators 10 do this. In regerd to the present <olnme of paper money in_Girculation, we Te- peat, that the profit which _tlie National Banks make on their circuletion is a bonus offered by the Goverument to private capitalists to put as much of their capital into the form of paper cur- Tency as it is possible to Leep afloat without farther depreciation. This bonus is a stimulug that keeps the channels of circnlation crowded with paper money DOW. e 3 < The error of the currency-inflation-banker is, that be mistakes an expansion of credii for an increese of capital. & NOTICE TO IOWA BANES.

The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: 147 cars wheat; 64 cars cormr; 34 cars oats; 5 cars rye; 51 cars barley. Total, 301 cars, or 117,000 bu. To-morrow, being Thanksgiving Day, will be devoted to home and religious duties, and the Board of Trade rooms will be closed, to givo the members the opportunity to become acquainted with their families. The * National,” or new grain warchouse of Vincent, Nelson & Co., on Archer auenue, is now ready for business. Its capacity is 1,000,- 000 buj; it will receive grain from the Alton & St. Louis Railrond. The new elevator owned by the Hough brothers, at the castern end of Bridgeport, willbo open in a fow days; the proprictors will run the house “on itsownhook,” Yiaving nothing to do with any combination. The hearing of the case of Muun & Scott, be- fore the Board of Directors of the Board of Trade, on a motion to expel, commenced this afternoon. 'Ihe hearing may occupy the spara time of the Directors for several days to come. The leading produce markets were dull to-day, et moderato amount of business was trans- acted. The general tendency was to a lower range in prices, but no morked decline’ was noted, as holders were not free sellers. The re- ceipts of é}mduce are liberal, and the shipping movement by water is nearly over for this year. A few propellers may leave this port yet; but the mission of gailing vesgels iz now a ‘‘home mission,” and, like tho gamblers’ cards, they will Do stripped for the occasion, The warehouses now contain less grain than they will have at any other time during the coming winter, and most of them evp_taking account of stock. It isex- pected, thal thiv farward movement of grain by reil -will be unnsnan, active during the cold months thst 8t now s mear at hand. The meriet for groceries, tongh somewhat on- ctive than on tho Dracedig dsys of tho wwoek, was lackinig in auimation, abd with the ex~ ception of coffees, and ono or two otrer articles, the quoted prices were onlyindifferent sustain. ed. Dry goods continue active, with priees firm and buoyant. No chango was reported 1a tho ?u!fi:r nfifrket& The better qualities met with a easonably sctive inquiry, and were held with firmness, while low grades weremore or less neg- lected. = Cheese rerozing dull and easy. Coal was firmer. The hay market was poorly sup- plied, and prices were again a shado higher, not- withstanding the limited character of the de- mand. . Hides were falrly active and cr. Nothing new was noted in the markets for oils, tobacce, and wood. = Trade at the lumbor yards was rather quiet to~ day. ° Prices wero 'without material change. Bufldinfimatuinls wero_quiet and unchenged. 1ron end steel, the metals, nails, &c., were inthe average demand and steady. ~Cooperago was quiet and_unchanged; porlc barrels quoted at S1.45@1.50; lard tiereea nt $1.70@1.80. Wool was in moderae request, and firm, Stocks in the country are moving quite freely, snd the receipts here -are increasing. ~ Hops are in gome demand, with abundant offerings. Seeds were quiet; primo timothy quoted at £3.10@8.121¢ ; clover was_ quiet, at $5,00 for prime; fiax wes firmat $1.60. ~ Poiatoes are scarce and in demand. A fow lots were in, but nenrly oll frosted; peach-blows quotable at 60@65¢ on track. Thero was considereble in- quiry for choice turkeys and chickens, with light offerings ; common were in plentifal supply and rather quiet. Game was in good supply and de- moand. at previous prices. - Green fruits were in moderate rexucst at former quotations. Highwines wete mors active, and & shade firmer than yesterday, when sales were made at 88@88Y4¢, with only the outside reported. New York was quoted lower. Sales to-day wero re- ported of 150 brls at €3lfc; 130 brls at 88}¢c, and 150 bils at85c. The market closed frm af s8/@%8le. Take freights vwere oll but innctive. The cold snap mado ovners of eail vessels unwilling to gend them out, end very little steam room was offered. Ona pm;gzucr engaged to take a part cargo of wheat to Buffalo on terms not named. That was all, It is useless to attempt to quoto rates. Shipments by lake, if made at all, will in future be made on special terms. Provisions were moderately zetive, with a ten- dency to weskness, but with less decline in prices than might heve been oxpected, os the Teceipts of hoga were again large. and they wero quoted lower I consequence. Buyers held off &0 long, ponding the existenco of the packers’ combinetion, that thoy are now _obliged to fill many of their orders or let them slide, &nd this, probably, is whet prevents o further decline in Eroduct, which, the packers gay, lhas already een discounted further n tho prico of hogs would warrant, It is believed that the low quo- tations now ruling o English meats have drawn out large orders from Rurcps, but that the ‘Drolkers aro limited, and are acting very cautious- 1y, 50 a8 ot to influence the murket by an ap- parent anxicty to purchese. When quotations suit their instructions, they will probably make & big swoop, and give us to Teport some of the hepviest transactions that have ever been known in this market, Thinking this to bo the case, the holders of product ars not in a hurry, especially as many of {hem lave al- rendy #0ld considerebly abeed, and they think tho chances nre at least even for & stiffening in bog quotations when the winter supply and demand have gettled down to a steadyrelationto each other. It was whispered to-day that some orders have been withdrawn, end cent 10 Cinein- nati, 2less pork was dull af about 25c decline from yestorday's innide prices.

Flour was_more active, and ngain strong, in sympathy with a firmer fecling in New York. There was & good demand, both for local dealers and for shipment, and the supply was reported light, as the country millers havo recently been “ruuning emptyings,” owing to the difficulty of procuring horse transportation for grain to their mills and fidur from them. - Bran was.firm from the ssme cause—the offerings be- the demand. i"fi light in proportion to Sales were reported of 50 brls_white winter ex- tras at $8.60; 50 brls do_ab $7.50; 225 brls do on private terms ; 300 brls spring extras (Im- perial) at 5,25 ; 1,475 brls do on private terms ; 20 brls buckwheat at $8.00.

The following were quotations: $7.50@ 9.75 6.50@ .50 dlings, Wheat was less active, and more irregular than yostorday, averaging 1 Tle option for nest month's delivery wrs only a shade ecasier, the demand being feir ; whilo for January the fecling was relatively strongor, there boing more specufmve inquiry for that month than hereto- fore, a8 many operators wero changing over their deals, sclling Decomber and buying Jan- uary, 8o a8 to avoid trouble on next Monday, which is delivery-dey. Cash whent was weals, averaginglclower, owing to thestendy increasein recoipts, whichincreased the mumber of offerings, while tho colder weather caused the shippers to withdraw. The consequence of this was, that the preminm on cash wheat, which has averaged 1c for soveral days past, nearly vanished to-day; 38 thero was no desira to buy it for any other purpose than to fill December options, and for those the shorts generally preferred to settle di- rect, as that did not necessitate the use of &0 much moncy as tho buying of car lots, and thero mak- is nmot now much chance of _ ms ing money on _ storago Dby buying fresh receipts and _ delivering” regular. There was & fair inquiry for other grades than No. 2, for shipment by rzil. Seller December opened at $1.08}%, declined to $1.071, and im- proved to $1.09 at the close, the mariket taking o decided upward turn on_receipts of tho latest New York advices.

Totl, 106,000 bu. Corn was exceedingly dull, and everaged above 3¢c lower, the market being almost inac- tive daring the great part of the session. The shippers bought very sparingly of No 2, and thongh Pho receipts wor mot latgo, the demand for cash lots was so small that they declined to o slight discount as compared with the option for next mouth, instead of being at o premium, s for somo time past. As in the caso of wheat, thero was littlo bought except to fill options for Decembor, and it requirod much loss monoy to gettlo than to bandle car Iots.

"The Shoe and Leather Reporter ssya: ZLast week there was some anxiety maniferied among ehoe dealers to know how much and to what_extent stocks would be affecled by the Boston fire, and some ecemed to jump at the conzlusion that prices would ad- vance, Butsuch has not Leen the case. No advance ‘has taken place. Tho large commisaion and jobbing houses are eelling their goods at the samo rates a8 be- fore, and do not, t present, anticipate any rise. There have ieen o few more sales made than there would Lave been'had not tho stocks in Boston been “destroy- ed, but they are very iuconsiderable, and con- gist of smoll orders for specinl sizes to £l up sssortments. Somo fow merchants from ths South bavo called hera after Visiting Boston and purchased smail bills of goods; Dt 25 & rule there bas been no perceptible incrcase in Dusiness, A beforo stated, prices remain_urichanged for the present, though if the advance in leather is ‘maintained for any length of time the cost of produc- Tion will be increased, which will of courso increase {hs prico of manufactired goods next scason. But thio gencral impression prevails among the trado” that this il mot be the case. At oll events thero will be no contracts mado at prosent, and the result will Le that orders will be lato unless {lio leather market: becomes settled soon. Business generally ia quict, aud confined to the orders oOf carly buxcrs to te kmong munufac- fu__ up , meortments o, “Fave: been . fower s, e o -orders recelved, and there vill be barely enough work to keep il hands employed until the holideys, ard evon if ail are kept on, thiere will Lave to be short tine for part of the men. In common work the Lusiness is Btill more, ond, if 3 more active demand does not ariso £o0n, some of the men will have to be disclarged be- forp the holidays. ‘Tho auction busincss has received conziderable impuleo during tho week, and tho eales Iinve been larger than uaua), Some Lines of goods that nave never beicre been gent to {he auction room, have Deen on the catalogues the past week, and tho assort- ments were generally of a much superior_class than usual.

It has been one of the most prosperous on record to vessel owners, 21 rates on lumberhave edvanced to nearly double of what they have ever been before, and the ex- erience of this year has ;mved the present i iake fleet to be wholly inadequate to mest the increasing demand of the lumber trade. Ship- building 18 likely to receive a considerable stim- ulus in consequence, and already we hear of extensive arrangements, in this and other parts, for the construction of new vessels, whi il appear on the opening of navigation next spring. _Joists and _scantling brought S11.50 to $11.75.
