6 T HE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUN MONEY AND £GMMERCE. | By MCNETARY. R TEUrspaY ESifmid, Jon, 23, Tho local meney market contivues tight.

Thete hes nov been ample time for tho interest #né Gividend disbureements to bavo all the “ffect they will 1 tho direction of makingmoney r2asier. This result has been produced to some 2xtent in the Eastern mackets, but not to the Slegyes anticipated, and tho conclusion seems anavoidsble that tho situstion this year is differ- et from the usnal ono at this ee: of the causes cf thie differcncs is un: bly tno low pricas of Western produtts received Dy tho farme?s; and this in turn is caused by high freighte.

The railroad specd with which tho Tepeal of the Naticnal Bankimpt Lew has been put tarsugh tho ITouso takes everybody by surprise, s 2= well as eremies of the law, and el Irom both sides k protest against o summary acd off-hand a {u’ucccdix: , Which if repeatod in &:0 Senafo would seriously unsottlo all present businers relations boiween debors and creditors. Vo havo conversed carcfally, to-day, with half- 2-dozen of the most thoughiful end widely- known merckants and buukers of Chicago on thie sabject, aad find that, while tbeir opipions aro morg diverse than on almost any ofher ques- tion of financial legislation, they 210 uuanimous in aaying that the Jaw should not be repealed at oudy, if at ail. ~Tha the laiy is open tovery serjous objections, andis meds tho means of glaring &buses au dling, nono of them deny. But it is ad- miited by all that the summary and uaqualified repeal of the law would be & serious disaster to business. ‘The objections to thelaw aa it stands come from both dobiors and créditors, to each of which some of _its previsions undoubtedly work at injustico:. Tho clauso providmg for in- Voluntary benkruptoy puts it in the power of any unreasoneble sud: relentless creditor to throw any honest debtor, who may be temporarily om- britassed, into bankruptcy, &ud thus ruin lus bueiness. and reputation, simply because be has. been ‘unablo to pay. . some aote within fourtpen days mfter its ma- writy. On the other hand, creditors object to the clanse which provides for voluntary ankruptey, on the ground that ‘it enables dis- bonest men to hold over tho heads of their cred- itors the threst of going into voluntary bank- roptey with all its concomitants of peculations and procrastinations of assignees daring the two ieu's &Uo‘wed them for ths settlement of the ankrupt's estate. The provision for voluntary Lankruptcy is, therefors, notorions as a means of often compelling creditors in_self-defonco to compromiso on terms that aliow tho debtor to- escape with e very considerable czpital ¢ saved,” or more plainly, © plundered,” from his crodib- ors, There aro cases in Chicago of the same in- dividuals having goneinte voluntary bankruptoy eeveral times in the last eightesn months. In some of thesa cases it i believed that this policy has been contemplated long boefore ‘satfing into debt, and has. been deliberately sdopted s s ‘meas of ‘dofrauding creditors in case certain wild gambling epoculations turned out unfavora- bly. Tlie ‘motto. of this class is, * Hesds I win, tails you lose ¢ but on this point it is questiona- ble if anylsw, or any absence of law, would make tho matfer very much better ; this claes il ulwn?hmuge to swindle ¢reditors to some ‘extent. e general opinion seems to be, how- ever, that the present law prevents dishonest debtors from swindling creditors to as great an sxtent as they would do without it. The law as it atands makes it to the interest of thoinsolvent debtor to settle with all creditors at over 50 cents on the dollar. . If his assets are ehown to be less than 50 cents on the dollar of his debts, ho can do nothing . without the unsnimouns consent of two-thirds of his creditors, both in the number and in the amount of their debts. One serions. objection to the law is, that an honest debtor who may, on account of. some tomporary embarrassment, be threatened with bankraptcy proceedis by some un- mercifal - eroditors, canmot prefer any creditor - who Jmight be willing to advance him monay (on'security) to tide over his dificul- L\:flx or. even. topay off his other creditors. Under the %reuint law, 2 man once tninted with inaolvency by his inability to {\l! one note, is bound to go down ; the law prohibits his having any help, whichhe might get inthe ordinary way by giving security fof o loan. ‘From the points © given sbovo, it will be soen ‘toat there is 5o much to be sald on both sides thet the guestion of arepesl of the law is not one to decided in tho off-hand mannerin Yhich the bill has gone through the House. For our own part, wo must confess that, after bearing tho views of businoss men, we _aca con- vinced that in its present form the law does more harm than good, and that there should cer- teinly be some amendments which are plainly in- dicatod sbove. The Inw, howover, contains ome of the best provisions for both the collection of debts and the protection of debtors that wo ghall ever get, the objectionable clauzes shonld be eliminutod by careful legislation, but the law should not be enmmerily repealed, a3 seems pos- sible may be the case if the Senate acts as head- long a5 the House has done.

B THE MARKETE: Tho leading produce marlcts wero all firm to- oy, and tending upwards, with ihe single ex=ep- tion of whest, which was lower, but witiout dulness, The general inclination was to aciivi- ty, tud the indicalions arp that we would have an aotive legitimate trado if it were not for the transportation difiicalty. The peoplo East want our proiuce, and would buy it if thero were any reasonable Liope of getting hold of it, At pres- ent there are vast quantitios of provisions, and & considerable amount of grain; hero nw&ifing- shipment, end further purchsses would only ad to 1he pressure for care, Groceries wero moving on a liberal scale, at substentially yesterday’s prics, though staple goods generelly were being hold with increasod tirmness, Coffees are still tho subject of an ac- tivo speculative inquiry, and tho tendency of prices is atill unmistakably in an upward direc- tion.

New York was quoted but quiet. The general tendency of the wheat drcle in this city has been bearich rocently, chiefly owing to the expectation of heavy receipts; as‘ advices from the country state that the farmors have carried in :fio quantities of wheat to the atation, which ill be sent hers as soon as the cars can be ‘procured wherewith to move the grain.

Brain were all Tate, while some. that wers dua early in the momning ‘did not arrive until after- noon, hence the supply of stock on salo at the opening of trade was mesgre, and prices were generally firmer in consequence, though, aside from an advance of Gc in hogs, thers was no quotable change. The ““dummies” made their early trips, but before noon they were with- drawn, and operators at the yards were left to find their wsy home 25 best they eonld, The storm will, of course, cause a diminished sup- ply during the remaining days of the weok, and the impression seemed to prevail that higher prices would obtain. This will undoubtedly be 0 ca6 50 far 83 hogs are concerned, but values of cattle and sheep are not so lizely fo be affect- ed, as the in:um&;itm to traflic over tho rozds lesding euatwazd from hese will rosivict the de- | retail trad mand mainly to supplying tho wants of the city o, CATTLE—The fresh recoipts were estimated 2% 1,000 head, though should all the stock trains that were duo succoed in reaching the yarda the supply wonld considerably exceed this ostimate. There was a_good domand for butchers’ stuff, to supply local wants, but asido from this thers wwas very littlo, inquiry, the uacertainty of get- nn%x:m stock throngh to the East, if purchased, tending to curtail operations on the part of ship- pers.
