THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1873 — [— MOKEY AND COMMERC MONETARY. TroespAY EVENING, March 0. There was an improved fecling in the local noney and commercial markets to-day, which is, perhaps, dus to the favorable change in the weather and the increasing prospects of, & good spring trode as much as to anything else. The call for a bank statement will also have s favor- able effect on the money markets gererally, as tho National Banks will nndoubtedly be disposed 10 increase their discount lines in greater pro- portion to their doposits. The call for a state- Tent has been expected for a week past, and the banks have been running stronger . than they “would do under other circumstances. Tho re- ports of the banks under the present sll, for Feb, 28, will, it is Dbelieved, thow very considerablo increaso in both the deposits and the Josns of the banks as rompared with their report for, Dec. 27: Thero hias been an actual secumulation of capital here in the last three months from the lcgitimate profits of business thatwill nndoubtedly exer- cise a beneficial influence on business this epring. The net profits of the pork packers of Chicagoin thut' timo aro estimated at mear €1,500,000 this winter. The lumbermen, gro- cerymen, and dry goods morchants have ‘also done & good business, and have collected with fair success in the country, during the last oionth, so that altogether - the aggregate nccll- mulation of profits of trade in 1872, and which bave been realized since ihe closc of that year, have made an important addition to the working capital of the city. i New York exchange is still in large supply,and there is still a heavy difference in Tates against New York and in favor of Chicago, the contin” uance of which during the last two montha would indicato the movement of capital this way. Bales were made between banks to-day at 75 cents per §1,000 discount, which bas been tho, 2ate for over a month, though holders wero less sirous to sell to-dny, and tho tendeucy is to Gigher prices. ¥ 2 An unsettled feeling still prevails to some ex- tent in the New York market, though there ap- pears to bemoro confidenco and more money tian & day or two sgo. .The Tr -ensury pro- gramme for March- proyidos for ‘tho sale of 5,000,000 of gold, being an increaso of £2/000,000 over the usual smount, this increoso beiug _ induced probably by tho endoavor on the part of tho Secretary to Caeck the rise in gold, which has now progressed until, from oo ayerage prico of from 112 to 1123 in the last half “of December, the averaga Current price from day to day 18 11536 to 115, an advance of nearly 3 per cent in the last two rmonths. This is contrary to the experience of §he same gesson of the last threo years, and in- dicates » different condition of financial affairs in this country. At the beginning of 1869 gold etood at 125, and graduslly settied down to 131 by the 6th of March. At the beginning of 1870 it etood at 120, and graduslly declinea to 112 by Morch 7. At the beginning of 1871 the prico was 111, and was the same on March 7. At tho beginning of - 1872 the price .was 100, and fluruated very little from. that time until tho last half of March, when it still stood at 109 0110, Tho difference, therefore, betwaen thoso ~vears and the present one is spparent. Tho’ Treasury programme provides for the purchase of only §3,000,000 of bonds this month, and if o more are bought the not result of the Lreas- ury operations for the month would bes contrac- tion of £8,000,000 of currency. -The Secretary, however, claims tho right fo issuo" any pacy of the whole of tho so-called reserve of & 000, so0 that it is_impoesible for any but_thoee who Liave confidential rolations with tho Treas- nry Department to forecast the supply ‘of cur- CALLED BONDS. Tency. | 'The first call for £10¢,000,000 of -5-20 bonds of 1552 having been rescinded, a8 was mentioned some . weeks ago, tho Secretary of the Treasury made on_March 1 the following call as o substi- tute forit,and the principal and acorued interest of the fol owinf ‘bonds will be paid and the in- terest cease on June 1: Coupon bonds known as the second snd third series, act-of Feb. 25, 1862, dated Ay 1, 1662, as follows: Coupon_bonds, second serles—$50, Nos. 10,776 to 708 $100, Nos. 25,936 o 66,646 $500, Nos, 1,180 to 0 71,259, ‘Third peries— '$100, Nos. 1 %0 4,752; $500, Nos. 1 . 1 t0 5,733, Total, $45,000,000, 450, Nos. 841't0 1,233 ; §1 % 10 5,300 3~ '$1,000, Nos, 13,141 t0 20,680 05, 4,103 10 6,402 815, ; $5,000, N A 200, Mok, 4,776 t0 7,090 3 total, $5,000,000.

A large part of the cutire’ex- port, of precious metals from San Francisco goes - o Chinn and Jepan. Every Pacific mail steam- . br takes gut from $100,000 to $200,000.

The following were tho roceipts aad shipments of the leading articles of producoin Chicego dur- ing tho past twenty-four hours, and for the cor- responding dato ono yoar ago : Withdrawn from storo yesterday for city con- sumption : 10,459 bu wheat; 3,076 bu corn; 1,176 bu oats; 184 bu rye ,836 bu barley. The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: 67 cars wheat; 218 cars corn; 83 cars oats; 4 cars ry0; 22 cars barley. Total, 344 cars, or 140,- 000 bu. " A sample of grain was exhibited on 'Chango to-day, which was delivered only from the 'Air Lino Blovator on a receipt for No. 2 in special bin ; the grain having been sold by sample at 821¢c per bu, when ordinary No. 2 was selling at about 79c. It was difficult o tell whetber the sample oxhibited onght to have been graded as rejected barley or no grade wheat; butit certainly should Tiave beon rated ns ono or the other, and not as No. 2 barley. The purchasor refused to take the stuff that was tendered him, and it was thrown® back on the hands of the seller, who for two weeks Etmzlma vainly sought for. redress. We do not know whether the fault lay with the In- spector or the warehousman ; but in either caso it 18 a heavy loss to tho original ownor of good. barley, who had it takon away from him, and o vilo mixture offered in its place. And right hero we may Rote on allegation ro- contly made in favor of our State inspoction system, that it Eivee to the_owner of grain tho right to gellit by sem le, if he is not satisfied with the inspection. How much of a right is conferred may be estimated from the fact that this identical car of barley was ordered to bo switched off, but the order was.withdrawn:on the notification that the identity of tho car-load of grain could be secured in that way only on the extra pavment of 8c por 100 bs for the ser— vice. We need scarcely 2dd that this concession 18 80 valuable that very fow will caro to avail themselves of it. The leading produce markets were generally strong to-day, and active, though' not quite’ so much o a8 yestorday. The foreign markets were quoted strong on the leading: staples, and New York was .corrospondingly firm, while ‘our receipts were not largo, and o milder wonther excited hopes of an enl{ opening of navigation, added to which a general thaw’ would materially reduce the volume of country deliveries. L Staple and faucy gracories were moving freely at about former rrices, thero being no guotablo, change in the value of auy article in the list. At the late decline, sugnrs are comparatively steedy, and the lower prices have sensibly stim- ulated the demand. Coffcos, syTups, toas, spices, and candles were quoted firmer. In the goods market thera was a fair dogreo of animi Hon, ordors from _local retailers, . 23, woll a8 from the iuterior trade, being numerous and ~ liberal. . In values _no clianges were reported, (ho market maintaining the firmness aud regularity that havo character- 1ced it for soveral weeks past.
