The continned etringency of the New York woney-market has created s feeling of distrust there in regard to the financial future, and the rommercial commanity of ‘that city aro sgitzted by rumors of commercial failures in the West xnd South. As fer a8 the Northwest is con- perned,we think there is no ground for theso rumors 2nd apprebengions. The States north of tho Ohio River and west of the lakes.are really In & prosperous condition, notwithstand- Ing the low price of corn. Thoy have just il marketed an immense hog-<rop ab tolerable prices, and are now marketing 3 laxge part ot last year's crop of wheat at fair prices. If. it were .mot for the low Jrice of corn and the extravagant cost of ita ‘ransportation to thé East, the Northwest would if tael rich. Tho effect of marketing the hog-crop 128 had a remarkable effect in brightening tho srospect hero. The eupply of money is increas- ng doy by day, 2nd the prospectof & good #§ ofing trade in the Northwest is improving teadily. Insome of tho Southern States tho »rospect is not quite 80 favorablo.

Among those aro: First—The ¢} 18t destruction of property in thia conntry by 1 -e, equal to eeveral hundred millions of dol- T8 in less than two years. Second—Tho cxten- on of our railway system and other works of *if ternal improvement. During 1872, 17,000 iles of mew railroad were constructed, prosenting n cost of $280,000,000. Third— i rotiring and cancellation of the S {fr cent certificates, Fourth—Tho *snow . # ockade, which interferes grestly with business sm tho interior, more especially with the i} svement of produco from farmers’ storehouses i railrosd stations, preventing the farmer from ying the storekeoper, and the storekoeper in wn from discharging his obligations to mer- ants in'the large cities. Fifth—The outfow currericy to the interior, an operation not only ‘usnal but almost unprecedented. Sixth—The 1§ go shipments of specie to Europe, the smount wheld bythe bagks' being emaller than for 3 corresponding period of any previons year - fivo years past. Seventh—The high froight rges of railways. Eighth—The hoarding of -Il al-tender notos in the Sonthern States.

The Chronicle calls up- Jomptroller Knox to_investigate the matter 2 see what he can do to compel the country g@' to keap their balancés in New York again, izhey used to do, and whero #hay exercisa 1 & benign influonce upun the stock-market i ¥ bt city, cnabling_che speculators of that to get the wse Of Wostorn money on security ailway stocks at fancy prices. The Chronicle aot, of course, put forth s im for this i of \Western money, but, in fact, this is the Fl‘a gomt of its argument. . The onl, i i o : zrgu~ the Chronicle makes in behalf of gbligg'l:g bauks to keep their reserves in Now York in- (fid of Chicogo, is that tho multi- [ ijion of - cenfres of redemption is, i it will “decentralize the banking 4 2m of tho country.” Wedo. not seo that { i would bo euch a” calamity as tho.

The exporience of tho past year and a half, during which our Railroad and Warchouse law has been in force, is far™ from satisfactory. ‘While the law contains some provisions which are undoubtedly beneficial in their tendency, it contains some that are impracticable, and others which are worae than useless. TThe provisions regulating the inspection of grain are of the last-named character. No one ‘who is conversant withthe workings of the Stato in inspection can deny that it has proven to griovous burden, and one that bears very unequally o the partios who operate in grain under if. they have raised no outcry it was because they knew that the law provided no ‘means of redress; their silence has been only the | calmness of despair. The following aro the principsl objections. to our inspection of grain by the State,-and they ..; filnlh Egm ns:;nni why lh&!y:lem should be » or at least made the subject of .man; -si~Tho danger that the parties appointed to carry ont tlis law will be Boees fe ‘political resons; and not with roference to efliciency ; and political appointments ' are more likely to prove disastrous in grain inspection than in most other departments of government, because a large ?lmpomon of the selling price of graded dependent upon the judgmont of the fi:gctor, ‘and he cannot judge correctly unless he be an expert. The great requitites of & Grain’ Inspector are an ability to detormine tha relative ‘value of a parcel of grain by examining unquestioned integrity ;- -ond- his-_abili can only be gauged by those who are themsclves familiar with the. handling snd grading of grain. - The,Governor of & State, 2a mclalannot be presnmed to bs capable of gaug-. ing the ability of & candidato’ for tho offico of in inspector ; and his sdvisors are generally 086 who urge appointments on other grounds. The sppointment of Grain Inspector should not rest with the Governor of the Stato or, if mado by bim, then only from among fhoso, whose ty a8 judges of grain shoald be cortified to by & number of respectsble men who are them- salves known to be qualified to judge. * ‘We may exemplify by reference to the well- known fact that our present Chief Inspector of- Grain, an eatimable man, is confessedly 80 much 4An act to cstablish a uniform ssetem | at ono house_interpreting tho rules much moro stringontly than i domo by anotbher, in the ab- sonce of an expert supervision. And it is pasi- Blo that tho Toxt cj.pointes to the position of Chief Tospector will bo much less of en expert than the present incambent. Sccond—Thera is now, preetically, no sppeal from tho erroneous judgment of & subordiuate Tnspector, or hip Chic?. The oftice of tho Rail- rozd and Warehouse Commissioners is in Spring- ficld,—an_unreschsble distance in the case of grein, which the railroad officials will not (they soy fhey cannoi) permit to stay in the cars for twonty-four hours. oven it the Commissioners could bo reachod in time to'secure a rovezaal of judgment boforo tho identity of tho grain is lost Dy being placed in & Din along with other grain, .the Board of Com- missionors, appointed for political reasons, may not be experts sufliciont to decido the merits of tho caso appealed to them. Tho Sub-Iuspoctors now give bonds for the falthful performanco of Thelr dutios, bt there i no one who is ablo to do moro than complain thet tlcir bond is for- foit. There is no appealand no rodress, though & grain owner, or grain buyer, may lose hun- drads of dollacs overy businosa day of the year, by orror in judgment, or partiality on tho part of 2 Sub-Tnspector. Theinterests of all parties deal- ing in grain demaud that thero shall be & board, or committce, of efi)om. resident in this city, to whom all diffculties in inspoction can be immediately referred, and in whose sability to judge the grain-dealing community can _placo contidence. Such a Committao existod while the inspection was controlled by the Chicago Doard of Trado; and if the Stato must control the matter, it should at least appoint such a com- mittee, or buard, from among men nominated by respectablo denlérs in grain, who cortify to the sbility and Integrity of the candidates thoy rec- ommend. Third—Tho adopted standards for grading grain are inflexible, and cannot bo changod ex- Copt at s biennial session of tho Logislature; while the character of two successive crops is often 5o different 2s ‘to make & change in tho mles highly dosirsble. Under the pres- ent rogulations tho Inspectors hsve nob even {o\\'u to make a distinction between receipts from different crops. As an instance of the injury that may ensue from a want of power {0 chango ~ the rules to suit the circumstances of an orising case, wo may cite tho fact that the No. 2 barley of last yoar's crop was worth 14 to 15cents per bushel more than the No. 2 barley of the preceding (‘.ro]s), a8 gauged by the same rules of inspection. ut in the ab- sence of a right on the part of any one in Chi- cago to make a distinction botween.the two, the new crop was run into elevator with the old, and the receipts issued for the new barioy. sold at the samo price as those issued for tho old, for several weeks, till it was kmown that. the bins had been emptied of all the old No.:2. Here was a loss of 14 to 15 cents per bushel to the sellers of several hundred thousand bushels of new barley. Yet these gentlamen made no com- laint ; but only bocause they kmew tbat it wonld Be utterly uselees to protest against the loas. The interests of - the trade require that there oo e a eomamaitios, or bosrd, aa proviously reforred to; which shall have power, undor prop- er limitations, *to make changea in the rules for inspection, when necessary ; without waitiog for the assembling of a Lagislature, the mfljfln? of the membera of which may not understand the importance of the proposed chango, and its just- ners in relation to both the country'seller and the city ba;:m 5 Fourth—The State has no right, cither legal or 1moral, to supervise tho details of grain inspec- tion, ‘any mora than it has to pass special ennct- ments for tho conduct of the trade in groceries or hardware, or any-other description of goods, in which its’ citizens may chooso to deal. The legitimate fanotions of State government do not oxtend beyond the ensctment and enforcement of genorsl laws for the protection of the Tights of tho many sgainst & fow, or of the few egainst tho many, s the case may be. And this protection is best and_most directly at- tained by abolishing monopolies—recuring to evry citizen the same cqual right to handlo or trade in any particular commodity. If the Power of monopolizing in_grain warshousing be abolished, there is no more need for State legis- lation in the g of grain than in the gmflg of wool, or dry goods, or groceries. The busi- ness wonld talie care of itself, and might safaly be trusted to tho_judgment and discriminajion of the buyers and sellers of the commodity dealt in, subject only to the restraints of the commeon Iavw. The State has no more right to fix the compensation of the warchouseman than it hes to limit the percentage of profit which the wholosale grocer chall make on his coffecs, or the commission merchant for his services, or the owner of money for the use thereof. But the State does owe it to each citizen to protect him' in asserting his right to buy his coffees from A instead of from B, and to store his grain with C instead of with D, if he 80 prefer; .and the State owes this protection without cost to the individual citizen, and withont unnecessary delay. The free exercise of thess inalienable rights being guaranteed, the State shonld hsve nothing further to do with the ‘business ; uxcufit to sct ns_arbitrator whon appeated to by the partics conducting it, or by others who claim that their rights are infringed upon by those partios. 3 ‘Now. it is very well known that the grading of grain in this city is on artificial process, insti- tuted for tho convenience of those who buy and soll it; and to facilitato the unlosding of rail- road cars, which could not be so rapidly accom- plished if the grain wore all sold by sample. It 15 really & nocessity of tho trade, but one with which the outsido world has little or nothing to do. The farmer solls his grain by sampl to tho couniry desler at the de’i?:’ who i8 often an agent or partor of a membet of our Doard of do ; or, if nob, he is invariably ropresonted in Chicago by some member of that body. Tho farmer i not, therefore, intercsted in the sub- jeot of grading, beyond the genoral fact that, if the country dealer is_cheated in tho city, ho cennot pay &0 good a prico to the farmer 8s Lo _otherwide woumld psy. Fach carload of grain, that awives in Chicago is made up of a dozen wagon-loads, perkias from oa many diferent, furmers, oach ought by samplo, andmized by the buori tho way and proportion which ho thinks will bo most to his own intoreat. Similarly, 2 largo propor- tion of our grain loses its identityof o when shipped out from this city, boing mixed by tho shipper to suit himeelf or his customers. Thus, meither the growor nor tho consumer have zny right to a special voice, or & epecial Teprosenta- ti6, in the business of grading grain in Chicago, and their noedless interforence by forced logis- Intion can only result in cmbarrassing the trade, and incressing the expouses of conducting it. Theso objections, and several others that ‘mightbe adduced, can only bamet by placing tho inspection of grain in this city where. it properly Delongs—in tho hands of the Board of Trade. 1t is truo that when conducted by that body before, the grain deslers were sometimes beaten with whips; bat, like Rehoboam, tho State has chos- tised them with scorpions. 'The Board of Trade certainly contains withinitsclf the the knowledge raquired to properly conduct tho inspection of fréin; and tho opposiag fntarcats aro £o noarly alanced in its membership, that tho inevitablo tecdency of men to go astray is sure to mectwith Add to this, that the a spoedy_corrective. Bo the right to conduct tho business, -which - tho State . hss mot. The right of the Board is not only that of abil- ity, but of ovnership. Not far from two-thirds of all the produce that is received here is the property of mombors of our Board of Trade, be- | fora it arrives in the city. Surely, they qught to bo allowed to eay what they will do with thkeir own. 3 TIE MARKETS.

Lard sold readily at tho outside quotations of Saturdsy, being fully b conts per 100 1bs above Friday's rango; and meats wore firmly held at 3o edvanco an tho outside quotations of last woek, with a fair order demand. Tho' strength oxlubited in this market for a few days past ia sharod by those of other leading points; all seem to bo sctu- ated by the feeling that prosent prices aro safe for buyers, as the currnt eupply of hogs is Tatch, smallior than bad bess oalopiated upon by packers and speculators. The freight lines are all in good running order, and disposed to take ont zlljthe pork products possible, whilo through gsighb—mhn to Europe have recently been ro- luced, all of which tends to strengthen prices. The New York Bullelin says: * It appears the production at Chicago is more this year, while tho receipta are leas than half those of last, and shipmonts 4,000,000 pounds more. Now, unless there is more to come in from otlier points than at this time Iast year, there is certainly a much lighter. stock in the United States than a year 8g0, of the new crop, for thero is s emaller stock here . of raw lard, though refined has Leen ac- cumulating from artificial causes for the past zonth. It is true, the oxcoss may etill be_held ‘backat interior points,but it must be remembered that much more than everbefore has been shipped from thoso points direct to Europe on through bills of Iading because of tho saving of X@bJc per 1b, while naturally much mors hus' beon consumed at home and oxported to other for- 6ign countries, as well aa to Enrope, thencrease of which haa been onormous. _ Notwithatanding this, as will be seen from our foreign letters, the ' European markets are mot overstocked. TThe result, therefore, o far, seoms to bear ont the posifion taken by us ewly in the season, and the whole market can acarcely bo* rogarded in any other than o very strong and healthy condition, with the prospective de-’ mand “fully equal to the supply, le:go as it is.” Tho market closedat the following range of prices: Mess pork, cash or sellor Februay, 813.05@13.10; do meller £13.10; do seller April, 813.40; do seller May, 13.60 @13.70; Eonms mess, 812,00@12.10; extra prime, 29.50@9.75.
