6 T {E CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 381, 1872 MONEY ARD COMMERGE. M'ON ETARY. Moxpay EvesiNe, Dee. S0, In tho local moncy market, the week opeas with & reaction toward stringeney. Owing to the difficulty of gotting.cars to forward hogs, calile, | beef, and pork to tho East, shipments havo falien | off sinco tho cloging days of last weok. La woolk the supply of exchango on the market was | vory large, and tho prevailing rates wero T3¢ tc $1.00 per §1.000 discomnt. To-iey tho s is £0 scarce that the price hes suddenly whinged | around to 75¢ per $1,000 preminm. New Yori exchango is, for all practizal purpoges, ¢ e alent of moncy, and when shipments of products are not large enough to meet the demand for cx- change, banke:s lave to send their enrroncy to Neow York instead. The sudden falling off i shipments of products to the Last is, therefore, suflicient reason for the chango to a morn stringent money market to-day. It is mow being suggested by somo that tho general expectation of au abundant moncy ‘market after the first of Januzry is induciug 5o many to defer thoir epplications for loans until that time, that the demand, now held in abey- ance, and that will come upon the market ther, will be more than equal to tiic increaso of morzy released by the interest and dividsud disburse- | Beef, Lrls ments in ths firec half of Junuary, and that easy money warkei cau scurceiy Lo expecied -until the latter ead of the month. . ONZ NUNDRED PLR CENT PEI ANNUIL For abous half of the tine during tho last thres or four wecks money has ranged from 23 %0 125 per cant per annuni in New York. It i3 Slaimed by the Financial Chronicle end some otber papers that this extro stricgency is to a great exient artificial, sud that tho object in | producing it is two-fcld: The capitalists of course renp & golden harvest of profi, but it is alleged that many of the great pesistors avo advocates of currency intlation, and that ono object in the concert of action in making money stringeut is to_create the in: unthinking that thereis a de: v ume of the currency. It is altogethen that this is true to a considexable extenr, b eeems mot improlalle that, tide requiremencs Of the law, thé SUingeucy 18 mors | Jargely dua t s0n with the quy crves, sianes witl the si letter of the law, the Natiouzl Banks in the “ redemption cities” are roquired to Leve on hand at “all | times " to the extent of 25 per cent of cirenia- ' tion £nd deposits, it probably docs not ovear to | ¢ more then one-haif of the | s is praciically locked up in reserves and masgias in honds_deposited to i secure circaiation. Lot us takea Natiopal Bank | i 0,000 caital 23 an exemple ; such a bank would Lave at lesst £150,000 of circulation | if it was to be had. To get tisis 150,000 of cir- | culation it must buy United States bonds of the par valus of £155,000, bu: these cot o | premium of gay 15 percentin the market, g0 ; thatit requires an investmentof $159,000 in | bonds deposited in the Treasurs. Hera is £39,000 locked up over and above tho circulation | received from tiie Treasury. Iiwouldbe safe to eay that such 4 bank would Lave zt least 000 of deposits, aud against this and its ci tion it must keep 35 per cent reserve, in legal- | tender notes, atall limes on hand, amounting to ey 112,000, which, together with the $39,000 ! locked up in the Treasury, makes £151,000, or 75 | percemtof its capital. Itis true that the'prisi- | ego of Leeping one-half of the reserva.| on deposit with their redeeming agents is msde use of by the banks to male part of their reserve a littlo more available, but itis £alo to eay, that of the £450,000,000 capital stock of tho | 1,510 National Bsuks of tho United States, §80,000,000 is locked up in margin on bonds de- posited in the Treasury, and £175,000,000 more 18 locked up in the vaults of the banks and with | their redeeming agents.

Cone eidering the fact that the aggregato of Natioual Bank capital bas incrogsed about £50,000,000 in the Iast two vears, it is spparent thatnot less than 30,000,000 of such increase of capitalmust have been locked up in the vaults of the Treas- ry and of tha banks in that time, I We uot in this withdrawal o1 2ov,uuu,0uU Of Capiral rrom active circulation in tw. years one of the causes | of the growing stringency of money. ADVANCES ON BILLS OF LAD! In connection with this topic, which is now veing discussed by baukers and shippeis in this country, the following case, just decided in Scotland, will have some interest: On Fridsy the Lord Chancellor delivered judgment in the cause of Gilbert e, Guignon, which caime before him by way of appeal from the judgient of the Mas. terof the Rolis, The appellants were the West of England and South Wales Banking Company, and tbe respondents Meesrs, Forbes, Kuight & Co., carrying on the business of corn merchients at Glisgow and elsewhere, and tho Bsnk of British Columbia, In May, 1858, Messrs, Forbes consigne | to an extensive miller in’ Devopshire = carg> of California wheat, on the terms {Lst reimbursement was to be made by the purcheser by accepiances of (0 days' might against the bills of Liding, Whils the cargo was on the water, Mr. Kemp, the purchaser, raiced £5,625 178, 3d. from the West'of England Bank, pledg- ing the cargo as security. In their letter of advice to Mr, Kemp, Mesers, Forbes & Co, enclosed one of o of six bills'of lading, which Mr. Kemp deposited wi | @5.! thebank, When the vessel arrived from California Mr. Kemp w2a o bankrupt snd Messrs, Forbes & Co. seized the cargo, on clalmed £5,635 17s, 2. rgainst Alessrs.

There was but little doing in produce circles to-dsy, oxcept in wheat, which was in demand. Other *han that, the inquiry was light all round, as for people cared to trade till after tae holi- dys avo over, without some specizl recson—and not many of those were presented. One moio day and we shall have ceen the last of the old vear, with its numerous corners that hev al- Teady passed mio history, ita warehouso swin- dles and freight extortions. Will the next show any improvement, or simply new phases of ras- cality, as bad s cldones? Our roccipts wero rather light to-day, except in corn; they will un- doubtedly increase in volume after the holidaya. Tho grocery trade continues inactive, with prices steady and unchanged. A fow mail orders wero placed, but aside from this the demsnd was in- coneiderable. Dry goods remain dall at about former rates, the market ruling firm for all etaplo and seasonable fabrics. In the butter snd cheese merket, no changas were Cereloped. For the former st s a faiy active demand ai full prices, but for the latier only a limite] inquiry existed. Conl was moro quiet, but otherwiso tho market was without visible change. Tho fish trale continues dull, with prices nominel. Dried fruits were moving to o fair extent at about former quotations, Tho hay maerket was weak, owing to & lack of ship- ping facilitics._ Wholesale dealors were refusing to pay over $16.00@17.00 for beater pressed, and £15.50@16.20 for locsa do. Hides and leather Temain firm, Oils were quoted dull, with no change in prices, save for carbon, which was offering a £5}@26c—a 1o decline, Paints, colors, tobaceo, and wood ruled quiet st former quotations. Lumber was quiet and unchanged, iick, limo, coment, &c., wero in light demand ot previons prices. Mlefals and tinners’ stock, iron and steel, nuils, &c,. wore quict and steady, Tin plate is quite firm. _Prices have advanced in New York, and there will probably be an advance hiere after’ Now Yoar's Day. Balt was in fair de- mand znd firm, Wool was quiet and unchanged, ‘There was a fair faguiry for tho higher gradss of Bt il P e large supply, Ilops were in moderate domand and fimn. With the oxception of a fair inquiry | for clover, ceds were quiet and unchanged; prime timothy is held at 33.25, and fair to good Eced ab $3.00@3.15; clover was steady ab £5.00 Thero was o fair local demand for poul- try this morning, and turkeys were a triflo firmer, the supply being rather light. Game was plenty, anc in moderato roquest; prices were irregular, quotsble at £3.75@34.00 for quail. Eggs wero firm at 28@30c for fresh. Green fruits wero in moderato request 2t former prices. Potatoes were in tho usnal demand and unchanged. Highwines wero more active, but weak, de- clining }4c from Saturday's selling price, and closing dull st the insido, though reported quict, with none offercd, in New York. Sales were re- ported of 150 brls &t 90c por gailon, and 100 brls a8 892 cc. Dresscd Logs wero quiet, but strong at the outside range of Saturday, being in rathor light sapply. Shippers were uot suxious, only one being on the market, but_holders gonerally re- ; served their offerings, in hope of obtaining The West of Englaud Bank thereun* | higher prices. Sales woro confined to 274 head at $4.40 per 100 Ibs, and at $1.35. Tho market 1 closed firm at $4.40. | ribs at Provisir- ~cre dull, and generally quoted easier, th _ ; tiere was scarcely encugh said or done fo cauavlish a list of quotations that, can bo deponded upon. Live hogs wore roported un- changed, with rather light recoipts, but opera- tors were gonorally inciined to regard thab Tact as simply an incident of holiday week, which is now nearly ovor, and to bs followed by & rush of supplies. - Coneequently buyers held off to seo what will be the upehot, especially as they can- not Lope to slip anything more during 1872, Hence thero was littia or no_demand, even for options, o3 partics having doliveries t6 mako on sellor January have tho whole of next month 2t their commaid to fll in ; whilo a fow partics who have nark coming to them wented to gell, 1 order to avoid the necessity of paying on Thura- day.

Tho fact of Tight recoipts and a further rise in wheat caused holders gencrally to ask an advance, ranging from 10¢ fo 25¢ per brl, but as there was no do- mand of consoquence, st any prico, tho market can soarcely be quoted highar ; and some dealors would willingly havo sold at Saturday's prices it requested o do o, Buckwheat flour was firm, rnd bran in good demand.

Tho leading cause was the failuroof & man who has operated rather extensively on the beareide, and sought o break the market on Saturday by heavy offerings, but found that it would not go down and that he had togoup. Tho anuouncement of his. failure caused o rush to cover on thie part of those who Lod bought for him againat eales elsewhero. en this demand had boen supplied thero was o lull and a glight decline, but it soon rallied, as recoipts here were small, and Now York was ro- ported stronger. The accounts from tho otber sido of the Atlantic were conflicting, somo quot- ing Liverpool dull, and stating that that cityand Loudon were both strony, That the demand was altogether speculativa may be inferred from the fact Lhat whilo the speculative grade was 1o higher, the other grades wero sctually lower than on Saturday. Seller January orunad at $1.22, advanced to 1.223, declived to £191%, rose to ©1.925, and closed at 1922, Seller February was active and steady at 2¢ above January.

Total, 77,000 bu. Corn was rather less active, and irregular, Larger receipts caused an easier fecling in corn to be delivered this winter, especially ou cash oand seller January, of which there wer Liberal offerings in proportion to the demand, and the market early declined about 8c. The summer options woro in fair demand, und strong at tho outnide quotations of Saturday, thers being & general impression that corn will be woith moro money when lake navigation is rosumed. Tho attendance of operators was less than usualin the first Lalf of the session, meny being attract- ed by tho excitement ir wheat, who usually operato almost entircly in corn. After the wheat had subgided there was more doing, and the marlket ruled stronger all round, with & good demand from the short interest. Seller January ranged at 303@31%c through the greater pary of the session, but closed firmer at 313{c. Seller the month, or cash No. 2, sold at 3054@3134¢ ; seller February at 813¢@32c; sellér May at 8635@837c; and scller Juua at 875@373; all closed with firm holders at tho outside.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET, Moxpay EVENING, Dec. 50, CATTLE—Received since Saturday, 1,209 head. The market opcned very quiet this morn- ing, buyers seeming loth to take hold. The diiienlty of obtaining cars, and the uncertainty of getting tho stock through to its destination, it shipped, tendeu to retard operations on the part of shippers, while the continued dalness of the retail ment trade prevented city butchers from operating, save on the most limited scale. To- ward noon, npon the receipt of moro fayorablo advices from the East, shippers took hold with some show of interest, and from 10 o’clock until the middle of the afterncon—by which time ell desirable grades had_ been disposed of— the market eshibited a fair dogree of activity. The quelity of the stock on salg was akove the average. There were few really choice droves, but the proportion of poor cows and serawny steers was noticeably small, and we find most of the sales to have boen mado within the range of £3.75@5.50. The bost droves were taken at 35.621@5.75. Home idea of the interruption to traffic resulting from the snow blockade may be gained from the fact that cattlo shipped from here on last Friday morning, 1aid over at Piitsburgh until to-day, when_the) were forwarded to their destination (New York by way of Philadelphia. ‘Che largest sale of the day was 138 Texans, averaging 1,033 Ibs, at $3.70; soid by R. Strabord & Co. A correspondent of the ZLive Stock Reporter writing from Wichita, Kansas, speaks of the Toxas caitle trade as follows : It may bosaid that with November tho shipping of Texan cattlo ceased for the season. In fact, as far ‘back o8 the middl of last month the yards at’ several points hzd been cloeed. There bas becn shipped from Wichita, during the season, 3,100 cars of cattle, con- taining an average of 22 head o the car, making a total of 81,400 head from this one point alone. Tho entira drive of lnst summer has been disposed of ; nothing 118 becn left unsold, nor has any, or at most, very fow head been put up to winter on the range or on prairie hay., The principal part of the cattle are being fed on corn, and many of them stall-fed in Tilinois, Missourd, Towa, snd Nebraska, It is worthy of mote that the Season just closed differs in almost every particular from provious eeasons. The cattle arc not only sil out of the hands of Texans, but they are whera they should be, in tho hands of Northern farmers snd feeders, Corn is abundant and chesp, znd our Texan steers only want plenty of it to make them 8 favorite clusa wiclt either packer or butcher. Texans are be- ginning to sec that throush thin catile cannot be sold in Chicago, or in Esstern markets; that they must g0 into tho hands cf farmers or feeders, snd that it takes twelva to eighteen montbs to put them into marketable condition, The market ciosed firm.
