While the money merkets inthe Eest.have besn growing easier, the Chicago market for . .commercisl accommodation bas, if snything. been growing tighter, or, rather, the necessitier of Chicago merchants have become more press- ing. This is nothing. more than might be ex- pected as the effect of the interruption to trade during thelast few" weeks from the” jLclement, etormy weather, which has not only prevented the marketing of products, but®has prevented country merchaats from coming* to the city, and aleo made s Iarge faliing offin the retail trade of ihe city. The embargo on transportation to the - “Edst'also becomes more and moré oppressive, nd * " prevents dealers from ebipping and realizing. on what: they have bought, which, of course, hasa serious - effect to absorb ~the funds of “baaks in products held here. - Curiouely enough there ix more money offered for long loans on real estate | iban- there was a few weeks ago, and, as thers s a good deal of capital waiting for sach invést- - “nent; it is offered for demand and short time losns ongilt-edged collaterals st 10 to 12 per <cent per annum. But the difficnlty in the “ money market isto sell business paper inthe * open market, or ‘get it discounted 2t the banke. Tha entire . mercantile department of trade bas bed & very unfavorable month, and it will take -&t ledst two'or three weeks of active trade in the #ala of dry goods, boots and shoes, hats, groce- ries, eic., etc,, befora the merchants will ba able *to catch up with the indebtedness that has .' metured while thev have had but little trade. - New_York exchange was quotable at 76c to ~ 80 per 1,000 discount to-day. U. 8. BONDS AND THE SYNDICATE. Tho following wete the comparaiivo prices of goid and U. 8. bonds on Jan. 13 { and Jan. 27 Jan.13. - Jan. 27, New se. 15 The foregoing £hows that the acvance in the carreuty price of United Stafes bonds during the Jaat two weeks has been mainly due to the | edvance in the price of gold, though in the case of the 1351s and the currency 6s the advance has _ been &€ and 5 of one per cent more than iu the rice of gold. It will be seen, however, that enew5 percents. which were quotedon Jan, 13 2011087, equel to 93% in gold, are now quoted &t | 115 in_ currency or equalto Dearly 101 in gold. : This rise, i* ia understood, is artificial, and is the “yesult of the manipulatious of thoSyndicate, who rind 1t best to put up the price of the new 5 per cents now on tlhe market in order to makea *«snarket for the $300,000,000 more to come out in their new scheme. Our 10-10s, with accrued: in- | * teresteince Sept. 1, 1872,are nowquoted at 11554 incurrency, or equal to 1013 in gold, but de- | ““ducting “the 23y of gold interest accrued. it Jeaves the price of -the- bond 933, or2i{ less than the presont artificial prics of the new 5 per . cents. People who.buy bonds will be pretty ; gure to figure this out before thoy give near- | 1y 3 per cen: more for the new 5s than for the i 10-403 which bear the'same iuterest, “and ara in-| every respect as good & bond, except that the in- | . terest -ia payable semi-annually. instead ' of quarterly, 3 on the new bonds. But whateyer ‘ may ‘be the ides of the Syndicate in advancing . the price of the new bonds temporarily ncw, it is " protty well uuderstood tbat they. do not ‘expect - to make their- profit by selling them at the present premium, but- out of the use of ‘Government mioncy. There are mow 200,000,000 of the new 5 per cents out. Of . these, $133,000,000wers marketed by the former Byndicate, nominally at about 9334, but really at 9334, as faras the Government was concerned, as the profit of the Syadicate on the: £133,000,000 was near 82,000,000, Congress having - failed to - prohibit the Secretary from repeating the experi- mont, it can’safely be ‘sssumed that the neiv ‘Byndicate will: make at loast £5,000,000° ont of their new job, and that the bonds will not net - the'Government any more than the others, aay 93 10 99 in gold. J v ©, REPEALING THE BANERUPT LAW. - Last week the views.in all the Washington “telegrams and letters were that the Benate . would not_follow the.action of the Honse in repealing the whole of the Baukrupt law, but tbat a8 far as conld be ascertained the eenti- ment of the Seuate was in favor of a repeal of the involuntary bankruptcy clanse, Later. ad- ~vices, however, seem to indicate & change of sentiment in the Senate,” and, since partial re. _pesal of the franking privilege, they seem. die- ged to make a clean um_aefi of the Bankrupt fl’w also. The franking privilege has, of cou:ss, no legitimate connection with the Bank- ropt Iaw, but the thoughtless action of the Bepate in this matter, which s likely to lead to soms ridioulous complications in postal matters, sesms to warrant the assump- Yon-that the Senate may act as heedlessly “this matter as in regard to .the fraaking privi- lege, In fact, ouses of Congrees seem & ood_deal demoralized since the Credit Mobilier “developments. Tne financial measures . that have been introduced in the present Congress show- that the- most prominent men inboth Houées have learned nothing since last winter, 2nd that, on tho whole, this Congress is con- trolled more by cliques; and: is divposed to act mmore bastily than the last.

In consequence of this soveral recent purchases | tor shipment havg been thrown up. Theére was rather mora_inquiry for staple and fancy groceries than on the closing dsys of last week, and the general market again exhibited a Srmtone. The only weakness evinced was in Taw sugars, in which & ic decline is noted. Coffees aud rice wero strong, with something of a0 upward teadency. Sode and saleratus huve advanced. Soaps, epices, candles, and teas were also quoted tirm. Dry goods continuedull.

And just there is the rub. Transportation canuot be obtained, and some parties who have bonght heretofore, are asking to be allowed to throw up the contracts, as they despair of boing able to take the product away.
