THE CHICAGO DAILY TRiBui., ~ ey PIONEY ARD CORMMERCE. MONETARY. Moxpsx EVENING, Dec. % The month opens with a more favorable zspect 1n Jocal finances, in the fact that the large ship- ments of hogs, catile, and becf from hero Bast- ward have made o, perceptible incresse in the amount of New York Exchange on the market ~which has become large enough now to reduce the prico of eales between banks to par to-day, against T5c per £1,000 premiym 88 tho average rate last week. The increase of exchange ehows that the mar- Eetuble wealth of the country is being turned s20.s onc kind.of currency o circulating capital i is as available for the liquidation of indebt~ asspecio or greenbacks., If this ten- ey should continue for a week or two, the effect will undoubtedly bs to allevizie the ency here to some extent. On tho cther land, we have the testimony of 2 nuinber of bankers, to the effect thet the col~ Iection of 2 large class of miscellaneous obliga- tions falling due at the benks is becoming more uneatisfactory. Alarge proportion of this paper, thongh rot made directly for the purchaso of real cstate, i8_in one way or another connected with it and arises partly out of real estato trans- actions. A good many of our prominen{ resl estate speculators appear to have assumed obli- ations with a_perfect Tecklessness during the &ix months, aud, though they all have ample securify, begin to find themselves hard up for Teady money. The demand for currencyto send into the country in connection with ‘the movement of hogs and cattle is quite active, though the amount coming back is also increasing. ¥or the Ppresent, the movements in and out are about equal, but it now seems_probable that, with tho present tendency to market hogs and_cattle, the balance will soon be in favor of the city. Tn the telegraphic notice from Washington this moruing of that pari of the Comptroller's re- ort relating to tho condition of the Chicago aiional Banks immediately after the fire of Ociober, 1871, it was said:” “It was thought that Yiree were £0 seriously. cripgled that they would be unable to resume.” ‘The word fhree, itelicized above, was a mistakein the telegraphio ge, =nd, s will bo seen by the report ted In another Psrt of the paper, was in- tended to be * they.” TIE NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION. The Boston Adrerliser, in an_article on the subject of Con%res&innnl Committees, and their pover to cantrol legislation, ssys of tke National auks : These institutions arein annual receipt of $12,000,000 10 $14,000,000 of tho public money 25 clear profit, after a1l deductions,—that is, more tlian six times the sav- ing eifectcd by Mr. Boutveell's foreign negotistions, ‘We doubt the Adre ser's ability to connt up one-sixih of twelve millions as “ihe saving cffect of Mr. Bontwell's foreign negotiations;" but its estimate of the annual profic of the Na- tional Banks on their circulation is probably about correct. Being that the Government is paying & bonus of twelve millions to the Nation- al Banks to furnish paper money cireulation, is it not reasonable that the banks would put out the paper momey that comld pos- bly be used when they were get- so large & profit on it? This the case, how is it that the £54,000,000 of ditional National Bank circulation authorized in July, 1670, have not oven yet been issued, and that it is only within the past month that appli- ons have at last been made for nearly all of ? It will, of course, be answered that the S:ates to which much of it was apportioned had not the capital to take it before, and this onl proves that there was not, aad i8 not, any sac requirement for mora currency as Mr, Boatwell and ocser inflationists have claimed; if there waz, capitel wonld have been found to put ont thic currency, for the sake of the bonus, no mat- ter where was the nominal place of its issue. WHERE THE NONEY HAS GOX A correspondent, whose letter has been on table for several daye, writes us in regard to the general stringency ] revails in at least a msjority of the commercisl cities of the Unitod intes, 2 follows: “Iama regular reader of vour psper, and specially your monetary arti- Cies, but have been unable from my reading to form any saiisfactory theory as to where the movey bas_gone to, if it is ot in bank some- where. This perplexityis aggrasated by informa- tion that certein legal-tenders have been reissued. **When State banks failed, the money was do- d. Now that we have no such thingas s broken bank, so fer as its circulating notes are concerned, where is the money that did the busi- ness of tho past five years succossfully > We presume, of couree, that by the term ‘“money” our correspondent docs not meap merely that form of it in bank notes, Treasury notes, and coin. Thereis more of this afloat now than there was five years ago, and even one year zgo. Inour opmion the present siringency 15 more the result of a cessation ir the expan- sion of credit which has Leen in progress for five or gix years. Within eighieen months there hes been & large loss of property owned in this country : By the Chicago fire, by the the loes of the Arctic fleet, by the Boston e, and we may also add, by the over-production and consequent Jepreciation of the aggregate value of the corn crop of the West, by which the farmers have Jost s large part of their lzbor invested in itf. These circum- stences have to 2 considerable extent dimirished the basis of credit. Instead of borrowing to start new enterprises, men hate been obliged to Lorrow to keep'old ones from failing altogether, Consequently the increase.of new enterprices, vhich hes stimulated every department of trade for the last five or 6ix years, has received 3 check. But the most powerful influence to check nes enterprises has been the cessation, within a few months, of the inflax of foreign capital to build railroads in the West. A week ago we rinted Eome zpproximste estimates to show ¢hat, for the last seven years, the smount of capital received from Lurope for American rail~ road bonds has been doubling Tp every year since 1865 ; .that.the amount of railroad bonds marketed in Europe during that year must havo been {rom $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 ; that the amount marketed each year 6ince, hag been _ increasing . until ~ for the year 1571 alone it must have aggregated mnearly $100,000:000. Dt the payment of the French indemnity made England fear that she wasabout to lose hersupremecy in the finances of tho world. The Bank of England conscquently in- creased ité minimum rate of discount from 334 per cent on the first of October to 7 per cent in 2be middle of November, with the view of pre- venting the outgo of capital from London. Con- current with tiis, came tho default of several new Western railroads to_pay the interest on tizcir bonds beld in Earope, creating the impres- sion that many of the projected ones would be even more unprofitable ventures. The result of this has beon that & good many now railroads on which some money subscribed in this country has beea siresdy expended, have bLeen umable to mnegotiste more bonds, tleir enterprisas bave been brought to & stand-still, and the money already invested in half-completed_projects, is necessarily a bad investment for thet reason. We do not argue thet this tendency of events will increase, or that it will produce any more of o crisis than it hos already. Tho marketing of the hogs and catile of the West and the cotton of the South, togather with the probable_revival of confidenca, in Englend, mayset everything in motion again in 8 fow monthi; but such, at least, is the pres- ent situation, and t!;:ss aro tho caueen of Lflfin resent stringency. reply, therefore, 0 ery of our carrespondent, “ Whore s tho money gone " we would eay: Some of it has been destroyed, as_sbove mentioned; & good deal more of it is held temporarily out the mar- ket on account of a loss of confidence. g REAL ESTATE.

The reason seems to bo that a hiatus of thirty doys often allows the occasion to psss by, to vhich the change in the rule is intended to apply. The recommendation of the Directors that Munn & Scott be expelled from membership, will come up to-day befors the full Board of Trado for sction. The proceedings will com- mence at half-past 8 o’clock. THE MABEETS. The leading produce markets were dull to-day, at about the Same prices as on Saturday, except that wheat was a shade higher and provisions lower. There was very littlo disposition to buy, in any department, the generel fecling being that we shall have ;]enty of procuce to buy from before long, and that there is no need for hurry. Prices would seem to be low enough on most articles, but the experience of mm{ years shows that the markets are always sluggish during December, and stiffen up after the holi- days. This soar is probably 1o exception o the e. Tho receipts to-day were not lirgo, oxcept a3 compared with the shipments, Tho sea- son of mavigation is uow closed, and henceforth ol shipments will ba by rail. Dry goods dealers reported fair sclivity in the deimand for staple and fancy articles, and firmness prevailed in all departments of the market. Some_brands of bleached and brown cottons were advanced a trifle, but prices were generallysteady. The fish and dried fruit markets were without decided change, either in tone or in values, trade ruling quiet at former quotations. Hay continues scarce, and is_still advencing, Hides were firm, nnder & good local and Eastern demand, at the advance noted last week. Dealers in leather report continucd ac- tivity in the demend, and prices remain firm_all around. Oils, paints, tobacco, and wood rmled quiet as previously quoted. The butter market exhibited a rather better tone. Slightly inereesed inquiry was reposted, Dboth on local and shipping accounts. and prices were more generally sustained. Cloice dairy continues scarce and finds ready buers at 24@ 98¢, Bagging was_inactive at 3514¢ for Stark; 25¢ for Ludlow, and at 34c for Lewiston, Inthe market for groceries thero were no new develop- ‘ments deserving of mention. The weak feeling in sugars noticeable for some time past is sti prevalent, and quotations were again lowered an e on all descriptions escept cut loaf and “hards,” which, being kearco, remain firm. Holasses and the poorer qualities of syrups are easy, but choico and fancy remain firm at the quotations. Coffees were in good request at full former rates. _Stocks are light and Rios aro tending higher. Rice, £0ap8, and spices Temain quiet. The usual wmount of -trading in lumber was transacted to-day, prices remaining without es- sential change. Building materials were in lighs demand at former prices. Cooperage wzs in moderate_request. We quote pork barrels ab $1.50@1.55; lard tierces at $L75@1.85. Iron and steel wero rather quiet. We continue to quoto at 5 3-10 rates, althongh prices are _being Metals and tinners’ stock were _in moderate Tequest. Tin plate has de- clined $1.00 all around, and pig tin Sc, caused Dy a decline in New York, Balt was fairly active and firm. Iron was in moderaste demand gt previous quotations. Hopa were in fair demand and firmer ; piime Wisconsin now quoted at 8dc. “Saeds waro qulet; prime timo- thy quotable at £3.10@3.15,with few lots offered; denlers aro holding it off the market for higher prices, £3.25 being asked for prime seed. Clover as quotable at_$5.00@5.02}4 for prime seed; flax at SL60. Dolatoes were in domand, and firm =6 G5@70¢ in car lois ; great caro should be taken in shipping to prevent, freczing, Poultry was rather quiet; the Teceipts of choice were Tight, and common stock sold at irreguler prices, Gamé was quiet and unsteady, with liberal offer- ings. Green fruits were in moderate local de- and at provious prices. Highwines were active and steady at Satur- day's quotetions, with a beiter demand, though there Was no change in the tone of New York advices. Sales were reporied of 500 bris at 85c per gallon. ¥ 3 Dressed hogs were lifeless, thers being none offered on 'Cbange. Strect quotatious are un- derstood to be about £4.75 per 100 1bs for choice lots. Provisions were dull and weak all round. The large receipts of hogs, and the consequent weak- ness at the Stock Yards, caused buyers to .ld off for lower prices, which holders wero very 10t to concede. Hence little was done; bub the sales made ehowed a decline of 15@25e per brl on pork, ¢c per ib ou lard, aud a corresponding reduction in meats. The factaecnied to be little relished by the paciers. Tiey Lave held off ag much as possible in hopesof bottoming prices of hogs so that they can start fair, but find that the intense compeiition of other places has pub down the prices”of product to 2 point whero Chicago packers must cither sell without a gmficorhnld their stuff, or still further beat own the prics of hogs, which 2re said to be higher here ihan at other points. Bo far the season is cerfainly the least gatisfactory of any that has Dbeen experienced In several yesrs past, s shown in the foch that we sre behind in our ncking, though the hog crop is larger than ever efore. The market closed at the following range . of prices: Mess pork—Old st $13.00, new pork, cash or seller the month at 12.00; @12.35 ; ' do_seller Jonuary, S1L90@12.00 ; do geller TFebruary, $I%.00@1215; do geller March, $12.25; do seller April, S§12.95@12.37% ; prime mess, $11.25@11.50.

The totel number of hogs reported slaugh- tered this scason to dato af Cincinnati is 146,000, The stock of pork in New York is 7,746 brls 2gainst 36.070 a year ago. Tho following shows the way in which the prospect in provisions may be rogarded from s packer'’s stand-point. H. Milward & Co. szy: The arrivals of live hogs this week have becn the largest our market has ever seen in a corresponding spaco of time, stimulated,no doubt, by the high prices current at the close of last week. Thore- Bources of the. country have been plainly oxhibited, and therocan be but Jittle doubt in” the minds of the packers {hat the farmers are preparcd and able fo mwamp us with hogs, should present prices bo_main- tained. The action of the packers seems inexplicable, taking into consideration tho present slate of our market, 23 compared with 2l the competing packing points,” Cincinnati is buying her hogs at $5.75@4.00, gross, for the best, *Louisville at about the same, St. Lonis a13.60@3.80, Kansas City at $3.60@3. 80 far Esstas Iudianapolis, they are purchiasi @8.80, and ut Delphi, Ind., at $3.50@3.75, whilo hero o senseless booby has, within tho past few days, forced up prices to $4.00@4.30 gross, The furmers, ag usual, getall the possible profit, and our packers must rest content to seoall tho orders sent to other markets, be- cause they can afford to sell cheaper than wo can. Here the high prices we are paying for Logs, both for shipping and packing, must largely increase our re- ceipts, but there is o’ reason why our packers shonld impoverish themselves o benefit the furmers, Tho stock of hogs in the country will be marketed some- time, and it makes but littlo differenco to the trado whether they come forward early o late. The extent has boen pretty generally ascertained, and it is well known that, without foreign assistance, \hich can only De secured fiberally at very low prices, we cannot pos- sibly use up our surplus packing. The crop can bo Lrought outand packed just 0 well at $3,50 as at 4,50 gross, Even the lowest figure will give tho farmers three times as much for their corn a8 they can make for it in any other way ; £0 they will furnish it to their Tiogs with no niggard hand. Itis the beight of folly in the packers to risk impoverishing themselves for tho benefit of the farmers, The more n?enflm prospect is thus discussed by Kercheval & Son, of St. Louis, in a sentence 80long that “it might a3 well be for life and have done with ii:" As has been for somo time foreshadowed, the largest ‘business has been in the cxtremo West and East,—the former for spring and summer use, and tho latter for Tocal supply,—whle in the interior here i less doing, which will become more apparent 3s the sesson draws on, unless the interior and central packers should bid up above Western prices sufliciently to compensate drovers for the additional cost of o mor expensive do- livery, ns do thoso of the East, which is hardly to be expetted, as by ihe generally accepted *standard” cures a uniformity of prices, subject only to tho varia- tions of freights 02 products from their places of cure to thoso of comsumption and oxport, Laa been quielly ‘brought _about, g as s thia oos " not exceed 10812 per 100 s to either Eastern or Southern points, which are the great marts for cured provisions, 1ho presumption 1 that packing will continue to fall off in thenterior and increase in o corresponding degree ot the West, if those occupying that position fally appreciate their vantage ground, and are willing to mcet producers in a fair ond liberal epirit—to pay them the comparativo worth of hogs, a8 packers at Kansas City and other Western points have done to herdsmen from tho Plaing and Texas, in the disposition of thetr cattle, by which the packing of beef is passing {rom the interior to the Weat, and thereby building up a great homo trade for Western farmers, not moro to the general adyantage of the country than their personal satisfaction in effecting gales of their property without the delsy and deprecism ton consequent upon & long railroad trip, Flonr was rather less aciive, thongh in good domand, the offerings being light. Hence. holders were firm, though the market was uoted dull in New York. Stocks are small, and the country millers are sending but little f ward, as their operations have been seriously torfored with by the e&uuufic. Shippors took hold in o moderate way. Buckwhent flour was easier, and bran lower, the latter being in bottor supply, Seles were roported of 100 bris white winter ex- tras at $8.50 5 125 brls do_on private terms : 100 brls Bg;’mg oxtras at £6.75; 300 brls do at £6.25; 225 brls do at $6.00 ; 400 brla do_at £5.9: 00 brls do at $5.85 ; 100 brls do at £5.80; 175 brls do et 35.75; 400 brisdo on private ferms; 40 brls superfines at $3.75 ; 30 bris_do at £3.50; 100 bris do at $3.00 ; 25 brls buckwheat flour at $8.00; 10brls do =t 27.75. Total, 2,230 brls. Aleo 20 tons bran at 213.00 on track ; 150 brls corn meal on private terms ; 10 tons middlings 2t $14.00 on track. ‘Wheat averaged about /¢ higher than on Saturdey, being reported firmer in New York ; but was tame, and weal, there being very littlo demand, sscopt fora fow car lota of tho lower grades for shipment, with & considerable dis- crimination against North Side houses, owing to tho greater ditiiculty of loading carqthero. Tho apeculative domand was light, but holders were not pa.rucn!n;k anxious fo éell, professing to anticipate small reccipts through the remainder of this month. The deliveries of wheat this morning, on the option of seller December, were light, and_hence there was no wheat of ¢onso- quence offered to-day, beyond the current re- ceipts. Seller January was the principal option dealt in; it opened st S1.11Y, advanced to $1.113{, and declined 10 $1.102¢ at the close. Sellor the month sold t $1.099/@1.103, closing at the inside. No. 2 spring i steady at $1.09%@1.10 till near tho close, when it declined to $1.09%. No. 1 spring was SL19@L10; ;No. 3 do at 99c31.01; and rejected 8t 83@92ge according to locatiom.
