6 1 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1872. FONEY AND COMRMERCE. MCNETARY. Fripay EVENTNG, Dec. 20. The heavy roceipts and decline in the price of hogs up to yesterday, had induced packers fo 'make preparations for extonsive cperations, and the consequenca was n large demend om the banks for money to operate with, which made money considerably tighter to-day. Bat to-day, Toceipts of hogs havo falien off largely again, ‘and prices were up a little, which will doubtless defer operations on the scale anticipeted, and, together with the holiday interruption of busi- ness next week, indicates the probability thet a great deal of the money will lie in bank fora week or Lwo yet, and the money market will con- sequently relax again during the next few days. New York exchange was lower to-day, owing partly to a large supply of bills on the market, &nd partly to an increased demand for currency in the anticipated increase of pork-packing and gflyments for hoge. Sales were made between anks to-day at 5c to 60c per 1,000 disconnt. ¢ INCREASING NATIONAL BANK OIBCULATION, One of the resnlts of the recent interviews be- tween the Banking and Currency Committes and the Secretary of the Treasury is, that the latter indorses the recommendation of the Comptroller of the Currency to repeal that provision of the Iaw requiring the withdrawal of £25,000,000 of National Bank circulstion from banks in Siates that now have more than their allotted cmount, and the . distribution of the same among baaks in States now having loss than their apportionment of circulation. The Secretary also idorees tho Comptroller’s recom- mendation to increzss the volume of National Dank cirenlation st the rate of. §5,000,000 per =nnum for tho next fivo years, and to distribute this increese among batlks in States that have less tuan their spportionment. The first of these meesures will undoubtedly receive the support of the National Bauk influénce in Con- grass, and if the two measurcs are combined in ooe Dill, they will probably get considerable support’ from the advocatcs of fres bauking. But, if the latter of the two foregoing propasi- tions were increpced s0 a8 to admit of an i crease of National Bank circulaticn at the rate of $10,000,000 or £15,400,000 per sunum, and with- out tho restriction to five years, the two measures in onme bill would be more likely to combine the whole support of the pres- ent Natiopal Bank influence and of the advocates of free banking, and would bemors likely to pass than any other Currency bill that will be in- troduced. These two measures would not intro- duce ‘any new features in the National Bznk ourrency, but would simply allowit to continue in< creasing at nearly the rate it las done for the last two years under the 54,000,000 act. Itis Lrue, tho increaso of the National Bank circula-~ tion under the 354,000,000 act has been held in obecks to some extent by the corresponding re- tirement of 3 per cents, but to pothing like the estent popularly imagined, and tho ex- perienco “of tle pest two yeara shows that, wibout any such réstriction o8 proposed_by tho Comptroller, the average increass of Netional Bauk currency would be at the &verage rats of probably §15,000,000 per znpum for thres or Yor yeaTs, but would gradually diminish from year'to year. As neither the Secrefary or the Comptroller can give say good reason why the iacreese should be restricted by law to £5,000,~ 000 instead of $10,000,000, or 15,000,060, their infiuence should be exercised for messures waich,—whilo they sre ocly modideations of t:eir Own views on one point,—would undoub- cily seeuzo a larger support in Congress.

The following grein bas been inspected into store this morning, up to 10o'clock: 50 cars wheat ; 111 cars corn; 32 cars 0ais; 1lcar rye; 16 cars barley. Total, 216 care, or 89,600 bu. The dscease of Dayton Kingman, a member of #he Board of Trade, was announced on ’Change to-day, &nd appropriate resolutions adepted in tespect to his memory. The sale of ckoice of flour tables on'Change for the epsuing calendar year will be made on Tuesdsy morning next, commencing 2t 10 o'clock. = y Tt was thought probable to-day that the freight offer alluded to in this coluzra this morning. 528 not in good faith. While itis not impossi- Ble that Iake freights to Buffalo will rulo aslow 28 80 per bu on wheat, next May, there are very Yew who would be willing to guarautes it, 88 there will undoubtedly be a heavy freight pres- bure on tho opaning of navigation, and tha ves- | sel building of this winter will be 'a gain in our {reight facilitics only a8 it exceeds the losses of the past season. Tho leading produce markets were rather quiet to-day, except wheat. Dreadstufls were gener- eily firmer, the principal oxception heing corn the reason for tho greater strength was the fact of a emaller inspection of grain for to-morrow, due to the storm of last ovening, and the appre- hension that ke réceipts will be light for soma days to come from the ceme cause. Provisions woré dull Tho grocery market wes reported quiet, with no material variation in prices. A few country merchants were in attendance, but the deman camo principally in {le shaps of meil orders, which were mainly confined to sugars, coffees, teos, and fancy goods, for the holiday trade. The toue of the market was firm. Dry goods W6r6 more quiet than for rome timo past, but were none the less fiimly held. Tho_continued upward movement of the raw meterial imparta a buoyant tone to the murket for cotton fabrics, and prices areadyancing. Canned _goods wers quoted quiet, with pricea generally firm. Rasp- berries, tomatoes. and corn are becoming scarco, but otherwise stocks are considered amplo, Cheego remains dull anfl weal, Conl is firmer, with an advancing tendency in anthracite. No chengo was noted in fhe fish mar- kct, trado being lifcless, and prices nom- inal, Thero was less activity in the demand for foreign driod fruits, and prices are workin easier. Figs, currants, and prunes wero quoted “off,” In the hide market thero i& continued activity, and prices, notwithstanding the large Teceipts, keep well up. Hay was quiet and un- changed. Leather met with only o light de- mand, but prices were firm all around, while for French atock and some descriptions of domestic, tho tendency of prices is to advance. Oils wero quoted firm, with the excoption of Jard,—which was offering at s concession,—and carbon—in which a slight decline is noted. _Linseed ad- vanced Je. Lumber was quict and unchenged. Building materizls, iron and steel, nails and met- als were in light demand at previous prices. A firmer feeling is being developed in tin plate. Pork berrels are again lower, &ules having been mado at $1.40, and lard tierces sold: at S1.85. The wool niarket was quiet end steady. 'The firmnees in tho hop market continues. Prime Wastorn sre quotable at 35@40c, very dhoice ara held at d5c. There wes a fair demand for fars, with tho offerings moderate. Seeds wero quiot to-day, prices Leing about thossme as yesterdsy. Thore was a fair inquiry for poultry this morn- ing, choico turkeys selling at 12@I12}e; and chickens at §2.50@3,50. Game was in demand ab sbout yésterdsy's prices. Green fruits were in moderate request from the local trade. Iighwines wero dull end nominal 2t lc below tho diminished quotation of yesterday, New York was reported strong early in the neighbor- hocd of a dollar, but tho slrength there is gen- erally supposed to be only a comsequence of the holiday demand there, which will have sub- sided by the time that Western goods, would get thero ; but it is even whispered by some ihat the New York quotation is an artificiel one, gob up in the interest of the rectifiers who have goods to soll. It is certain that there were sellers at 90c on our Exchange floor to-dny, and some broliers who had orders to buy, Wit the extreme limit fired at 89c. The latest New York despatches quoted the market thers .dnll at 9734c, and our market closed weak ot S914@ 80c. “Sales wore reported of 100 brls iron-bound. at 50c per gallon. resaed hogs were dull, withoat quotable al- teration to note in_ prices, though buyers and scliera were apert in their views. A few transac- tions wore reported at £4.25@4.40 per 100 Ibs but ot tho close good average hogs would no command moto than 34.25@1.40. Sales were ro- ported of 33 head st 87 doat £4.30; 67 do &t $4.95; 166 do az 440, ' Total, 863 head. ions were dall, and the feeling was & 1, except on mess pork, though there was no material change in quotations. Live hogs were reported somewhet fivmer at the Stock Yards, but buyers of product scemed to think that tho lighter receipts to which thst firmer feeling was due, w8 only temporary, following the znow stormof last evening. Hence they wera not anxious to purchase, except at furtlior de- ciine, which holders ~wers not’ generally willing to accept. The grentest weaknesa was in Iard, which was very quiei, ard, in marked con- trast to the eetivity of yesicrday, it was quoted lower in Now York, hetice busers didnot regard it 23 such £0od property os twonty-four Lours previously. The © thing on the Board was green Lams, which are in steady demand for cur- 1i:g, os fast ag they can becut from the hog.

Wheat was sctive and strong at an average advance of 134@13c per bu, under a better mand, which came mainly from the speculative element, and an advanco of 1d at Liverpool. The snow-storm of last evening, which admitted 1o be only of temporary hindrance to_rail travel sufliced to reduce tle rccoipts to-dey, and on {his very emali and melting foundetion the bulls gathered courage, and intimated to the already Tnumerous and nervous ehorts that hereafter the incomings of wheat will be of & meagre charac- ter. Added to this, eeveral prominent firms aro buying wheat with an_svowed purpose of holding the same, they claiming that thereis nos & great deal of this coreal in stock at this point, snd famrers do Dot seem ab all soxious to urge consignments forward, which ihey interpret to menngamt producers do nob think wheat is sell- ing for the money it ought to.- New York de- spatches were not generally favorable, owing ap- parentiy to tbe dilliculty in obtaining freight JToom in foreign-bound vessels, thong‘i} quota~ + ions were not materially different from those of westerdsy. _Sellor January was the favorite op- tivn, though 28 the present month draws to'a cla s seller February is coming more into favor. Sel ler January opened at £1.15; sold up to SL.16, and closed firm at SLISY@1.15%. Seller the month was quiet, _un- der comparatively emall ~ offerings, sclling at §1.143/@115%, snd closing at $1.15@ 1.153(. Sellor Februsry sold early at S1.173¢, and alosed with gzles at $1.173/@1.18. No. 1 was inacteve, and prices nominal ab S1.20@1.21.

Total, 98,200 bt s Corn was less active, ot nominally unchanged pricoe, There was not & large number of oper- &tors ca:the market, snd tho trade was almost entirely of 2 local nature. Owing to ino steadi- ness in values of this cereal the more plominent operators for futuro have withdrayn from the trade for tho present, the whoat deal offering supenor inducements—tiat is, the epeculators do not have fo wait = very loug time for the mar- ket to chauge either up or down. Uhe greai trouble just mow is that operators are afreid of tho market. Zhose who want to buy for future are loth to do so to any extent for delivery Sear b mazket will go down, and - those Who think the imarket is going low- are ofraid to gell . shord to er 4 rt any amount for fear they are mistaken ; in fact, operators heve not sufiicient faith in their own copvictions to operate to Auy extent, heaeo the quiet trado. Corn is not dear at 301c por bu; but, with the immense yiold of 1873 at our back, it is & question whether or not corn is cheap & the above figure. At any rate, thia uncertain question is proving detrimental to those who operate in corn, and is_keoping the trade very quiet. Seller the month, or cash No. 2, sold ot 303(@303%c, and .closed dull but rather firm. Seller Jeanuary sold to a moderato extent only 8t 3056@808¢¢, end at tho close tho outside figuré was bid.

Chemical and Metal Report of Nov. 25 Eays : ; Cuexrrcars—Tho smount of business trapsscted in tho chemical mavket since last Mouday has been fully up tothe average of the past two or three weeks, Copsamers have ekown u greater dispoeition to cover their requirements for next year, but the frmuness with which producers hold quotations still causes con- tracts to be less extensive than they would otherwite be. Parchases can be made from eeccnd hands af slightly under current prices, but such sales a8 have thus been effected are not supported by an equivalont concession on the part of manufacturers, and are pure- ly speculative. The American trade Lgs Lecn somoe what lighter during the present weck— ndvices from New. York sre, however, now less unfavorable than hitherto, Caustic soda been offering more freely, but several weak parcels having been cleared off, the marlket rules firm at about our quotations. Soda ash without mia- terial change, Soda crystals rather quiet, but no fur- ther reduction in price can be noted. Bicarbonate of- fering bs lower. There has been an finproved busi- Dess done in bleaching powder, for good brands of which better pricea can now be obtained, The sales transacted in nitrate ‘of sods may be exid to bave es- {ablished the Iate advance, I murfate of potach there ‘has boen rather more doing, but the demand is still insulicient to mect the supply. Prussiate of Potash rather firmer. In consequence of presead sales in sul- phate of ammonin price hag declined 108 per fon. There has been a considerable Lusiness done in Green Sulphate of copper steady at Copperas at fall rates, Iato prices. ; METALS—Tho unsetiled stato of the money market, - and the spproaching end of the yes, have hiad tho of fect of depressing the valines of metals goucrally; tho ‘prevalent fecling, however, Lill remains, that with tho advent of the Nt Year we sholl hawo & return to high- or rates, coupled with 8 renowed activity in- the de- mand. ' The indieposition to operate in Scotch pigiron Sarrants appear to bave become chronic, and “uo Dusiness ” i now elmost daily reporiod.
