BF MONETARY. Fomat EvENING, Dec. 13, The demend for money in the local market tontinues active, and is in excess of the supply 8t the command of tho banks. Merchants, how- ever, report tolerable success in collecting in the country, and the liquidation of indebtedrfess of country merchants to city merchants, and of the ‘West to the East, is -progressing satisfactorily. There is consMerable good paper in the open oarket yet at 134 per cent per month. . New York Exchange was weaker to-day, owing to the large supply on the market. Bales were made between banks st from par to 25c per £1,000 premiom. THE BECENT “ WINSLOW FAILURES." The Scandinavian .BSavings Bank, No. 17 Mil- waukee avenue, which failed from the eame cense that brought about the failureof the Scan- dinavian National Bank, had only £60,000 of de~ posits, but this sum belongs to 200 depositors who are much excited aboutit. The bank has pssets that will realize 40 per cent of the de- posits. The more-the affairs of the Scandina~ vian National Bank are investigated, the more it is apparent thet the concern is rotten, root and branch. It is now understood that' among the “bills discounted " by the bank are §70,000 of notes mede by two parties, one of whom is prominent in the present closing up of its af- fairs, and the other of whom is likely to be ap- pointed Receiver. These notes were made in & real estate transaction last spring, end have ome, two, three, jfour, five, r, seven, and eighl years 1o run. There is reason to believe that these notes were taken by the bank recently, or at least long rinca Winslow, the decamping President, left for Europe. Whatever censure Winslow may be entitled to, he should not be made the scape- goat for others who have manipulated the affairs Gf the bank £o a3 to use the money. of its deposi- tors for their private speculations. Notwith étanding the books of the Scandinavian National Dark showed it had §42,000 cash on the evening cf Dec, 9,.the date when the bank closed its doore, it 18 questionable whether it had any considerable sum of either money or availeble | - exckange on Dec. 10. If Comptroller Knox un- derstands, as he should, that the Bank Examiner is Interested in putting the best possible aspect cn his neglect to discover the rotten condition of the Scandinavian National Bank months 8g0, he will nleo understand that he- should not not be governed too much by the recommenda~ tions from that quarter touching the sppoint- ment of & Receiver. THE OIL MONOPOLY is one of the instances showing the characteris- tic financial tendencies of the times to concen- trate money and power. The movement to make a moropoly was begun by the refiners, who pro- posed to enrich themselves by bearing the mar- ket for crude oils and bulling” the market for re- fined. The principle on which this monopoly was started is precisely the samo as that of tho trades-unions, and the action of the ring of re- finers was the seme as that in trado strikes. The producers of oil, however, found that they were 0 be made one class of victims, and, in self- aefencs, they formed & ring of their own, the avowed purpose of which is to reduce the'pro-" duction ard increase the price of the crude arti- cle. They agreed to &nmp their wells only to a certain extent, and thus control the production, In order to have harmonious working, they were obliged to:pocl the carnings, and thus the whole oil-producing region has become, Pmfic&uy, the Pruperty of one consolidation. The producers’ “ring " hus had power enough to bresk up the refiners’ first *‘ring,” but has finally takeri somo of the refiners into its good graces, and mow rules the whole oil market for both crude and A refiner who is 8 member of the pres- ent monopoly, endeayors to excuso it in a letter 1o oo Eastern paper, by saying that thie object of the combination i “*simply fo obtein what is justly their due, &nd what, for over two years, they have been deprived of—viz.: & fair compen- sation for the capital employed, and the risk run in carrying on their business. A manufacturer who ~finds over stock on his stop producing . gular demands of trade ro- lieve him. Why should not a refiner, or o body of refiners, do the same with their goods? It i8 straight-forward, legitimate business. d when the refiners of the conntry took this step, - and called upon the producers fo stop nl;m.mpmg for thirty dsvs, to prevent forced sales below * cost price of tho surplas of both crude and re- fined, it was a measuro of prudence and not for extortion.” This argument geems pleusible enough, but it is just that used by every monopoly, The trouble is that strikers, frades-unions, and oth- er monopolies never know when they have got 4 what i8 justly their due,” but when they have the power they take good care to get enough. A cmtinnfion of manufacturers and producers who have a monopoly of any special erticle, like that of oil, however, do not sumply allow their own property to lie idle, but they prevent any one elso from going into the business who might be willing to do it for » smaller rofit.

Fhe following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock : 169 cara wheat ; 181 cars corn; 29 "cars oats; 4 cars 1ye; 42 cars barloy. Total, 874 cars, orl44- 000 bu. The transnction in barley, which was exposed Jin our columns this morning, was the occasion of considerable sensation to-day, and two or three gentlemen who knew of the affair, but were interested in not saying anything about it, admitted that onr report was substantially cor-' rect. It seems that the transposition originated in what might be regarded by the person bene- fitted a8 a happy accident. He owns s mill for cleaning grain, and was ongaged, a few weeks 8go, in cleaning No. 3 barley, taken from Ar- mour, Dole & Co.'s Louses, which was then run into the North Side hLouse, and inspected a3 No. 2. One of the car-loads of No. 8 was switched round to the second elevator, by mis- takd, without being unloaded at the cleening mill, and Ar. X. was agreeably surprised to find thal it was inspected in ns No. 2. Acting on the hint, ke extended his- purchases of Armour, Dole & Co.’s receipts for No. 3, and procured all the cars that were available on ihe Northwestern Road to transfer it to the other house, where it was received without feult-finding in & single case 88 good, honest No. 2. This is the story as told on 'Change to-dey, and we may edd, in jus- tica to the ChiefInspector, Mlr. Tompking, thathe has been for 2 long time past confined to his bed with a broken leg, eo that he is not personally responsible for the cheat, unless it be shown thet his system permitted such practices during his active supervision of the department. It mey be asked why the railroad officials per- mitted it, and if they "connived at it. We are able to state that soon after tho present Supes- intendent took charge of the Northwestern Road ho issued orders that cars should not be supplied fo the cleaning mills to be used for tho purposo of running their doctored grain “into -the elevators. But & vigorous protest was made, backed by a late President of the Board of Trade, to the effect that the regulation killed off tho domend for the lower grades of grain, and permission was given to supply cars to the cleaners when there was a lus of cars on hand. Of course the officers of the road did not know thai their cars wero being used. as stated in our col- umns this morning ; and the' thing hes been stopped in short order, now that the truth has como out. But the matter ought not to be allowed to rest there. Somebody bas made sbout 81,500 out of the transaction, after paying storage and hauling charges; enough o enable them at loast to pro- sent 8 new hat to each of soveral parties, if they were minded to follow the precedent estalb- lished some £wo years ago. ether there wero any presents made or not, somebody has been defrauded of money. If the grain that wes thus changed was realty No. 2, then the parties who chipped it to_this city received 8¢ per bu less than they ought to have_received for it; whilo, If 1t was really No. 8, then the buyers of the grain after the second clevation paid So per bu more for it than they ought to have paid. There i 1o getting around this fact, and it onght to be attended to forthwith; first, beczuse rascality —ought to be expose and secondly, because the whole grain trado of the city m]j be in bad odor unless they repudiate the transaction. And while the matter is up for consideration it may not be amiss to ventilato the whole matter of these cleaning mills, and know just what facilities these proprietora have for changing grades. It maybe found that they are sl rights but thero bas been 8o much of complaint about them, every now and then, that it is at least worth while to lmow whether there are good grounds for complaint or not. A correspondent desires us to say, in connec- tion with the Munn & Scott swindle, that ‘the prettiest village in Central New York is Cazeno- vis.” Not a doubt of it; but we do not see the connection. THE MAREETS. The leading produce markets were a little more active to-day, and breadstuffs were generally a shade higher, somo being quite sirong. The shipping movement by rail is more active, snd the rccelfi: are rather small for the season, ex- cept in wheat. A fair business was doing in the B¢ market, with little or no variation in prices,, Coffee$ wero stmnger, owing to & fur- ther'advance in New York, but quotations were not altered. Bugars remain , as_do also ByIup, Tice, spices, and most other goods in the list. Soaps were, if anything, a shade firmer, owing to the declino in grease. The demand for staple and fancy. dry goods continues eatisfac- torily active, and firmness still prevails in all de- Eu"m. ents of the market. Some brands of leached and brown cottons were advanced a trifle, No change was noticeable in the butter market, the demend continuing fair, and prices ruling steady and firm. Cheese remains dull and essy at 12@133¢c for Western, end ot 14@ 15c for New York factory. Coal wasin good ro- quest at £12.00@13.00 for Lackawanna; at $10.50@11.50 for Erie, and at £7.00@7.50 for Wilmington. In the dried fruit market thers was considerable ectivity, especially in those lines of goods suiteble for tho holiday trado. Prices were without quotable change. Fish were quiet as proviously quoted. Hay, hides, and leather remain firm af former prices. The oil trade continues quiet, with prices gencrally steady. Linseed was firm, at the late advance. Lumber was in fair demand, prices rulin steady. Trick, lime, cement, ete.. wara in moc crate request, at former quofations, Cooperage woa in “fair demand, and prices steady. The metals, nails, etc., continne in fair demand for the season ; quotations ere without change. Salt was active and firm. Wool in moderate requost. Stocks are increasing somewhat. Former pricos are continued. The choico grades of broom- corn aro in demand and firm, the supply of such being exceedingly light. Other gnu‘{:'.s a0 very plenty end dull. - Hops continuo in fair request and firm. Prices are irregular, dealers esking from 85@4dc_for primo Western. Timothy sced was in fair demand to-day; prime sold &b £3.25, and fair to good seed at $2.90@3.20; clover was firm at $4.50@5.10 for fair to choica seed. Dlammoth quolable at £5.50@5.60. Po- tatoes wero scarce and salable at 70@75¢c on track. Pouliry was quiet, except very choice offerings, which met with a fair sele.. Large well-dressed chickens sold at $3.25@3.50, and choico turkeys at 12@12}¢c. Eggs were a 1 Lade firmer, strictly fresh quoted at 27@29c. Ctmo was in fair demand and firm at $L50@4.75 for prairio chickens. Venison was very plenty and dull. Apples continuo in demand among tho local dealers. Otlier fruit was in moderate request, at previous prices. Highwines were moro active, and steady at tho advance geined yesterday, being in rather limited supply. Sales wero reported of 800 bils at 8%¢c. The markel cloged firm. Dressed hogs were in better demand, and & shodo firmer.® Good shipping lots wero in good Togquest, and sold freely at $1.87J¢@4.50 per 100 1bs; while coarse lots gold at £4.25@4.30. Sales were reported of 1653 head at £4.55; 92 head at £4.50; 178 head ot $4.45; 50 head at £4.40; 231 head at 4.873¢; S0 heed at ©4.30; 80 head at $4.95. Totel, 809, including some that were held over from yesterday. Provisions wore moderately active, but again a shado easier. The markef opened zpparently strong, with a good inquiry all round, and hold- ers generally g full prices; but Intor the tone weakened, as tho receipts of hogs threat- ened to be go large as to produce a decline at the Stock Yarks. Then buyers of product lowered iheir figures, and owners wera & little more anx- ious to trade, so that the market closed weal. Mess pork declined about 10c per brl on cash lots, aud azd 5o per 100 1ba for caah from tho quotations of last evening. Meats were easier, except hams, which continue in ureent demand, Ppork, cash or seller the month, -at Si1.40@ 1L.50; do seller Jonuary, 811503 do geller February, $11.623¢@11.75; do selior March, S11.8754@12.00; do sellor April, $12.00@12.15; primo ‘mees, $10.75@11.00.

Flour was less active 2t -unchanged prices, there being but a very light demand either for ulnfiment or on local account. For this reason Lolders were not able to take ddvantage of the strength in wheat, to force an advance in prices, and it was probably the fear that they would do this that mado buyors hold off under thoe ides that the wheaten bulgo is only a temporary one. Bran and buckwheat flour were quoted firm. Sales wore reported of 100 Lrls white winter extras (St. Louis Best) at $10.00; 100 brls on private terms ; 100 bils spring extras (Minn.) b $6.873¢ ; 600 brls do on private terms; 100 brisyo (fing William) at $4.25; 100 brls buclwheat st $6,00 ; 40 brls do (Jackman's) at $8.00; 25 bris cornmenl (Smith's) at $2.25. Total, 1,165 brls. Also, 10 tons bran at $12.00, on track. Wheat was more active, and strong, advancing 13(c on the quotations of yesterdsy, though the everege advanco was only ¥fc. The market was firm, and rather steady early, but strong local movement in options_devoloped itself towards noon, which became buoyancy when the latest Liverpool advices indicated a_little moro firm- nees thero, The New York telegams gave no encouragement to the bull eloment, but thoy oporated freely, and a considersble quantity of wheat changed hands st tho edvance, in addition to the option trading, much of which will ba squered off by “sottlemont.” There wos a fair shipping demand, but_chiefly for tbo lower grades, No. 3 being most inquired for. Thers is little doubt that tho demand from inierior points in the United States will take abont 2l the wheat wo can gend forward by rail thia winter, but the prices obteined for it will largely depend upon the quotations in Liverpool, even though wo may not send so much of our surplus thera as some people count on. We note that wheat from the erop of 1872 is now arriving in Liverpool at the rato of about one cargo per day, ond will probably roll in at that rate for & long while to come. _Seller January, which was the principal option dealt in, cpened at S1.123¢, advenced to §1.1237, declined to £1.123¢, rose to S113, fell of e, advenced to SL.14%, and closed st ‘3114, Seller the month sold b SLUIK@112%, closing at $1.19%¢.

Thero was not much de- mand for shipment, for rcesops already ex- Isined in our columns this weck, and cask lots geed, though receipts wero relatively light. Ba tho option domand was good, and caeh corn appreciated in sympathy, if not much wanted. A great many operators profess to believo that our receipts this week will ba very light, unless prices advance, nnd the outlock is theroforo considered to bo & fair one for investors, which is bringing out & better inquiry for the summer options.
