THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDN SDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1873 FACNEY AND COMRMERCE, " MONLTARY. TumspAY 1 * Notwithotanding the incroase in the supply of oanable funds, tha Incronsa in tho domand ls in gronter proportion. Tho demand from specala- tors {u grain has boon 1ot by the banka so freoly that monoy appouts to bo gotting tightor, and o largor proportiou of applicants ot bank moot with rofusals, "Tho liboral shipments of pro- ducts Eastwoard furnish o constant supply of cbiango, which s the samoe thing as monoy. ‘Westorn morchants have now pald off tho great bulk of tholr' indebtedness croated in tho fall. The demand for Enstorn exchango bes thorofors fallen off yory largely, and tho proceods of the #nlo of tho crops are ncoumulating in tho West, $ut as montionod abovo, the funds are bolug abs gorbod in speculation in grain. _+ At tho olose of last weok the country demond for currenocy decrensed considorably, bub with tho oponing of this weok it incronsed again, and | tho amount of curroncy going into tho country now oxcltos gonoral romnrk among bankors. Tho volume qf curronoy going into tho country 0w s in fack ns largo asat any time during tho past yonr. The woudor is, whiat has becomo of the unusual amount sont out during the last fow months. Very littlo of It has como baclk, and tho most of it must bo in oirculation in the country wost of hero, though a considerable portion hag perhaps boen drawn off into Toxas and tho now Territorics in the southwest, Exchnugo sold belween banks to-day at 81 por 1,000 dizcount. In tho Eastern monoy markets there appears to bo no rdluxation intho stringency. In Now York, the daily rato for monoy to carry atoocks rapgos from 16 to 20 por cont pet annum, and in Boston money is scarco and rates of interost on all clngees of loans arc highor than o woek ago: G DANK DBILLS IN TIE LEGISLATURE. Two bills wero introducod in tho Legialatura yesterday for the’ govornmont and fnspection of barke operating under Btate chartors. Onein- troduced by Somator Castlo applien only to eavings banks, and contains many good provis- ions, some of which aro greatly needed now: It provides that tho deposits of no savings bank sbail excoed ten times tho amount of its paid up eapital, ‘This should be altored to provido thnt cspilnl should in all cpsos Dbo cqual to at least dno-fifth of tho total deposits, Savings banks with capital stock aro conducted a3 much for tho benoflt of stockholdors as com~ morcigl banks, and it is an erroncous motion that thoy can bo conducted with safoty on n smallor porcontago of capital than commorcial banks, Scnator Castle's bill also provides for published roports_of the banks and ezsmina- tions bya Bauk Examiner appointed by tue Auditor of Stato; also rg;]\l'lrou one-third of tho capital to bo invested in United States bonds or- ‘bouds of tho State. On the whole, the bill entors too much into tho detnils of managomont and investments and yot omits somo of tho most im- portans points * in this ‘connection; for instance, there is mno provision for showing whethor tho real estato on which tho bapk loans tho mouey of its depositors is worth more in the market than the amount of tho ortgages or not. Chis is an important point, and if any Savings Bank Iaw i adopted by tha. Legislature, it should prescribe somo gro ortion ‘batween tha logus.on real estate and tho as- gessed value of the real estate. - 'he bill introduced by Senator Starne (which wo print bolow) {s mora briof and more compra- henslve, iu tho respect that it provides for tho ovornment of both commorcial and Eavings glmka organized undor Btate lawe. Tho samo defcloncios existis rogard to proportian of capis tal to doposits,-and in regard to tho valud of real estate in proportion to the loans on morigage Josus oun it, that are found in Senator Cas~ tle's bill. Tho whole forco of Sonator Starng's bill, howavar, s diracted to the securing of pub- lished reports aud oxaminations by a Bank Ex- aminor appointed by thoe Stato, This is, in fact, the most important point in connogction with the regulation of oithor commorcial or savings Uanka.. 1f some law will sccure tho publication four oy five times a year of true statoments of tho condition of ercli of the banks, tho criticism of tho business public will bo a bottor nnfo;a—?nrd against banks gotting into an insound condition thian can be provided by any logal restrictions in rogard to Invostmonts.” Tlioro”aro thousands of ‘businoss men who aro more competent to docide at' onco whother & bank is in o sound condition than any of tho law-mskors, end tho béat thing thoMaw-makers can dois to dovisa some plan which shall sectire & complete {:ublia oxhibit of the real condition of overy ank at least four or five times a yoar.
