B 6 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1873. e e e s MONEY AND COMMERCE., MONETARY. TUEsDAT EVENTNG, March 4, The sitmation in the local money market changes but little from day to day, though in 1he st two wecks the changs has been great. ‘The supply of loanable funds here has increased iargely, and bas encoursged the investment of capital in grain that would not have been possi- ‘le three wegka ago. This very fact, however, ‘has increased the demand for money, and both the banks and the private money lenders have a good many more applications than they can mccommodate. Tho increas- ing trade and tho larger scalo of oper- ations in 'this market afford occupation for all tho money that comes to this market. This winter's exporience showed that the busi- mess community of Chicago could squirm through ‘on a great deal less monoy, but they can use profitably o great deal more. Exchange is still in abundant supply, and tho rates are still heavily ‘against New York, sales ‘being made between bauks to-day at 75c per £1,000 discount. . The amount of currency going to .the country 3slight, and only & little in excoss of the volume coming in. * CHEAP-PREIGHT LEAGUES.” 1t in apparent that there is, throughont the West, a feeling of exasperation sgninst the rail- roads, and a prevailing disposition ‘to do some- thing to prevent their increase of power and its consolidation into & moro perfectly-organized monopoly. People begin at last to seo what has been 1ndicated in this column from time to time for & year or two past: that, nnless the govern- ment representing the people control the rail- roads, the time is not distant when the railroad -companies will b the government, end controland {ax the people as they see fit. It is an axiom in our democratic form of government that, in any contest between corporations and the people, the corporetions must, ineyitably succnmb in the end. This was, perhaps, strictly frue in the condition of society in the United States fifteen years ago, but tho, war introduced & mew eleinent: the ‘military apirit, the leading idea of which is dis- cipline, and the control of tho masses in accord- ance with the ideas of a few leaders whose will is Iaw. Railroad managoment is necessarily ‘military in its spirit, and requires tho same per- fact obedience of all connected with it. 10 close of the war left hundreds of thousands of ‘men gtill in the primeof life, who not only miss- ed the golden opportunities for making money during the war, but have never succeeded in the -other pursuits of life by their own unaided efforts since. The coalition between these two. classes would be natural, and_though thero is no marked evidenco of it yot, it is not impossible that in any goneral contlict of interests there might be one, and thatit wonld materially qualily any victory which the people would get over the railroads, oreven ‘prevent it altogether, if tho latter aro allowed to Cconsolidato their power & year or two longor. “The opposition_ to the consolidation of rail- rosd, miEury, and money power i8 a8 yeten- tirely unorganized, and we find _the first indica~ tions of an_ atrempt to organize it in Doslon‘ where Mr. Josish Quincy is endesvoring to get’ up what ho calls & “ National Anti-Monopoly . Cheap Freight League,” with branches or sub- Jeagues all over the country, and particularly in _ the'West. In tho formation of theso clubs_or leagues the following preliminary paper or dec- Iaration of purpose is to be signed : WeERELS, Various raflroad corporations, relying on the power of organization and command 'of capital, bave neglected to add to their facilitics ; havo unneces- earily increased the rates of transportation; have neg- lected the interest of the public; have tazed the peo- plo by an unsuthorized issue of ‘stock; and have, by Zree tickets and other means, endeavored to influence - legisation. e, the undersigned, believing that the rights of the community can be promoted by an_ organization that ‘wball have for its object to diffuse information; to ro- duce the prices of transportation; to insure ‘the in- crease of facilities; to enforce the just complaints of individuals; to bring to justice any who shall tamper with legislators; Agree, as soon 5a fifty names are signed to this pa) tosiient a meeting fo organize A *Cheap Frelght Teagaon Mr. Quincy {8 by no means in advance of pop- xular opinion in his_idess, and in fact only fol- lows the suggestion made in this column a month ago in regard to private companies ran- ning their own traina on all the. great trunk lines, by payment of s specified rate of toll per car, ‘per mile. He would haveone or more of the great thoroughfares between the East and the West—a double track; froight lino—control- ed either by the Btates or by the United States. He claims that ultimately tho United States, acting under the same authonty by which they constructed the Cumberland Road, must own the road-bed and the stations of freight roads on all the great lines, and, like the Erie Canal, throw them open, under regulations as Te I ar and moderate speed, to any per- mon who wishes to put either cars or locomotives upon them, paying as on the 0 and fixed tolls for their use. With a donble track ‘there wonld be, on such roads, under such regu- 1ations (supplemiented as they would be by the telegrap) e danger of collisions, and 88 the cars would not have to go upon sidings to wait for express trains, their speed would beabout as great and the hour of their arrival more certain than at present, and there would be an end of complaints of shortages or cxcessivo taris, as individuals and not eorporations would be re- sponsiblo. y It is natural this Chicago freight movement should find its Enstern nuclous in Boston, whosa merchants find that if they expect to compete at all with New York for the trade of the West, they must, in some way, upset the man:floly of New York in the control of the railroads. ~ To maintain her supremsacy in manufsctures, Mass- achusetts finds it 88 nocessary to have cheap {reights on bresdatuffa from the West, in order to have cheap bread for her factory operatives, 2 the farmers of - the West find the ssme thing mecossary in order to live by ' raising wheat and com, hogs and cattle. Thero is _now & strong miovement on foot in Massachusetts to have the State own and run the consolidated line- of roads from Boston throgh tho Hoossc tunnel to the western boun- dary of the State. M, Charles Francie Adams, who has advocated this_policy, bus recontly made o speach before the Railroad Committee of Messschusetts. The spocch embraces tho lead- ing argumenta iu bebalf of fho genoral policy, will be printed in pamphlot form and distributed Iargely, not only in Massachusetts, but in other Sistes, to ancourage the adoption of tho same policy. Thereis no.doubt that the movement will attract s largo degreo of popularity. Ono evidence of it is that men lika Hemry Ward Beecher, who feil in with, and always succeed in leading popular movements, hns startod out in the campaign against railroad monopolica. CURBRENCY INFLATION. The mostof men have no opinions of their ow, but take one from somebody else. who has acquired the reputation of a thinker. In this counection; we may mention that Prof. Amassa Walker, oneof the bost informed men o cur- rency and kindred subjocts in the country, after having recently spent considerable tima upon thefluor of the Houso, engaged in genoral con- Teruation vith membors upon the subjoct o cur- rency, is of tho opinion that no legitimate busi- nees interest of the country desires any farther inflation of currency. 'Thia is, in fact, the opin- ion of every thoughtfal and really well-iuformed man on this subject. But this ciass of men are not g0 blatant in the cxpression of their opin- ions por so persistent in their sdvocacy of them as the political demagogues who find it easier to coincide with the- popular Jeaning in the other direction.

ToEsDAY EVENING, March 4, The following wera the roceipts and shipments of the leading articles of produce in Chicago dur- ing tho past twenty-four hours, and forthe cor- responding date ono year 8go : " RECEIPTS, Withdrawn yesterdsy from store for city con- sumption: 6,372 bu wheat; 5,336 bu corn ; 1,470 bu oats; 2,033 bu rye ; 110 bu barley. The following grain has boen inspected into store this morniog, up to 10 o'clock: 109 cars wheat ; 120 cara corn ; 52 cars oate ; 8 cars rve; 28 cars barley. Total, 202 cars, or 116,000 bu. Thore was considernble discussion on ’Change to-day relative fo the announcemert of Hough Bros. & Co. that they have increased their rates of storsge on grain to the sume tariff as used at other elevators in the city. It has been freely charged that the Messrs. Hough have boen bought up or wheedled over by the other ware- housemen, but there is no reason for the suppo- sition. They simply found that their receipts were practically uncarrent on 'Chango, for the same reason that gold does not circulate in the presence of our paper currency. Holders of their receipts hold them at a premium of 1@134¢ per bu abeve receipts in other houses, on ac- count of the differenco in storage, and & large proportion of the grain they now have in store i3 being carried against June options, 80 that thero is no chance of its being shipped out at the opening of navigation tomake room for more. 'They say, too, that they might expect their house to bo kopt full of long-time grain through the summer, if they offered & preminm therefor. The argument is a strong one ; but as we hiave heretofore indicated, it is very doubtful if anything short of & chang of firm will avail to take the house from under the control of the Warehouse law, to which its proprietors Lisve vol- untarily submifted. Of course, & repeal of tho Isw, or of that section which limits storage charges, would end the difficulty. * There was less business doing on 'Change to- dsy than yesterday, and the lending grain mar- kets were generally’ lower, with & genoral dull feeling prevalent on the floor. This was princi- pally duo to the receipt of less on- couraging advices from other markets. Our- receipts were genorally rather light, and the increase of grain in store during the past week was less than the recent average ; but we hove so much grain on hand that 2 con- siderable proportion of it is nccessarily boing carried by relatively weak holders, who offer their property liberally on occasions of weak- ness, which, but for them, would b slight. Groceries, both staple and fancy, were moving freely, and, aside from sugars, which are still weak and unsottled, prices were uniformly firm. There were no quotable changes in valuas, thougl there is talk of an advance in coffees, and of & farther roduction in sugars. The dry goods market presented an active appearauce, and & firm, buoyant tono was provalent. Butter continues scarce, andthe recent ndvance was easi- Iy sustaiuad, 27@32 being freely paid ]fer choice dairy. ging was quior as previously quoted. In the checse markei~poly a moderatc{ ‘Blmmmt of trading was done, tho continued cold weather checking the movemont in thut staple. * Prices, however, were firm, as quoted. Coal met with & good inquiry st_substautially former rates. No changos were visible in thoe driod fruit and fish markets. Canned goods were quick and prices were unchanged, #sve for oysiers, which woro quoted lower. Hay, hides, leuther, pig iron, and fobacco were without, important change. There was & moderate amount of trading at the lumber yards,to-day, the inquiry being chictly for common building lumber. Shingles on track aro auctive and firm, at £8.25@3.50 for fair to choico brands. Building materials were quiet and unchanged. Metals, tinners’ stock, iron, and uails continne to meet with an improving demand, and the tone of the market for nearly all ariicles is one of firmness. There was no perceptible improve- ment in the wool trade; only a few small orders are being placed, and prices aro ruling woak and irregular. Hops were quict and stepdy at pro- vious prices. Heods were in moderate roquest at abont yesterdsy'a quotations. Poultry was in active request und firm. The receipts ore . very light._ Greon fruits wero quict and stoady. _Highwines were in good demand, and {@le higher, in aymlfamy with greater strengthi in New York. - Sales’ wero reported of 150 bris at 87c, and 100 brls at 85¢c per gallon, the market. closing at the outside. & P Lake freights were nominally unchanged at 13@13}4c for corn by sail to Bufialo; but quotz- tions varied, some saying that vessels.were of- ;Q'tfd at 18¢, and others averring that 13l§c was i Dressed hogs were in good demnand, and 25¢ per 100 T bighor, the Focont. doclino having brought ont several Eustern orders..

Tho market opened i ‘buyers holding oI in hopes of forcin concessions from sellers, but were unablo to Go 20, and took hold ‘more willingly towards the closo, after Cincin- nati had been quoted strong. _ As tatod yeater- day, the stocks of pork and lard aro_lightar than was generally anticipated, hence a fair dogree of. epecalative strength in those articles. The pack- ing of Cincinneti is reported at 626,305 hogs, with an averago gross weight of 305 1bg, and average yield of 45.67 Ibs lard.
