6 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, MONEY AND COMMERCE # ' MONETARY. 3 E TacReDAY EVENING, May 8. Thero is still & sharp demand for money in this market, and wo wonld slightly amend .our zeport of yesterday by saying that, while s.good many loans in the open market are made on the besticollaterals at 10 per cent per annum, & great many are also made at 13 per cent. Banks are also buying good paper from ¢ outsiders ”. at12 per cent, and, in tome instances; even at 18 per cent per annum. The progress toward ease in the New York market is, however, having some effect Lo produce an easier fecling hera. The demand for New York exchange scems to have increased in tho last two days, and & good many more of the country banks sre ordering remittances of exchange than [ast week. BSales wore made between banks to-dsy at 230 per $1,000 discount {o par. : N A well-known London financier lately arrived here from that ciiy reports great dificulty in gegotiation of American railroad and other sim- ilar securities in the London market Money seems to be plenty enough there, but thera is a Ick of confdeneo, of which there was no indica- tlon & year ago. It is undoubtedly the case that the 'successive defaults in the payment of the stipulated interest on the bonds of various Western and Southern railroads has made & per~ manent unfavoreble impression as to the acter of nearly all American enterprises. It however, no more than reasoneble . that the fever of rail- building snd _the exportation of securities must culminate some time. The next thing to culminate is_the excessive impor- tation of foreign goods induced by the flush times that have been experienced 85 & result of the vast.disbursements of money in the West for the construction of tho roads. The recu- perativo ability of the Westis 6o great, and its roduction-is 8o vast; that it will not take ong put trade and finances on & sound_logitimata basie again ; but the activity of trade and en- torpriss vibrates continually between fover hest £nd the reaction from it, axd for the prosent the tendency is toward the intter, and will result in the collapes of many unwise projects.

Of late years, rates have tended downward so that the rate per ton per mile in 1872 is but little Tore than half the rate of 1868. The aacertained results are as follows: The report claims that these ‘fignres disprove the azsertion, o frequently made, that railrosd companies make extortionate rates for their own ‘benefit and against the public interest.

The following grain has been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: 43 cars wheat ; 125 cars corn; 88,400 bu rejected do by .canal; 12 cars cats; 8,000 bu rejected do by canal; 2cars rye; 1 car barley. Total (183 cars), 114,000 ba. W. A. Croffut, Esq., editor of the Minneapolia Tribune, states that there are not far from 15,- 000,000 bu of wheat yet to come forward from Minnesota. We stated it at 12,000,000a few days 8go, which statement was contradicted by & cor- respondent signing .himself “Produce.” Mr. Croffut ongbt to know. There isa general expectation that ocean freights will rule véry high in June, but reason to believe that lake freights will be reasonablo, after all, though the outlook secmod otherwise at the opening of the season. At Elgin, on Tuesday last, the sales of buttor and cheese ware quite heavy, including 25,000 s of cream cheese to Wanzer Brothers and Davis Brothors, of Chicago, and 25,000 Ibs skim cheese to B. R. Stone. Tho traneactions in butter wero largo,. prices running from 96c - Thers was some mors scufling on 'Charge to- day between a couple of clerks. It fs now pro- posed to put up a gymnasium for the especisl use of ench as cannot refrain from the attempt to sct the cirons-clown. They ought to be kept off 'Change. The leding produce markets wers quist fo- day, eepecially 30 by contrast with sesterdsy, and'with no considerable changes in price ia those markets which most depend upon our execrablo weather. The shipping movement was again alow. The fact is, that operators sem at aloss whatto do, pending the time when Old Probabilities will make up his mind in regard to the westher of the summer and autumn. In the dry-goods market & fair amount of trading was done, and the prices current earlier in the weels wero pretty generally adhared to. At the late reduction in brown ami bleached cot- tons there is sn increased movement, and, at anent prices, holders are unequvocally firm. its are selling irregnlarly. The ry trade ‘was dull except, for the leading staples, in which fair ectivity was witnessed. Prices were un- changed. Coffees and sugars are very firm, while rice; soaps, candles, molasees; and othor articles in the list, weré only fairlyso. The canned-goods market was without new features, the demand continning moderate, with prices generally easy. Corn and 2-1b tomatoos are ex- ceptions, the Supply of theee being scant, nod prices oxceedingly firm. Cheesn iwas insctive and nominal. But a small amonnt of trading was dome in the coal market, and former rates were without. change. Fish were fairly active, nt firm prices. Dried fruits and nuts re- main quiet and easy. A slight reduction in blackbsrries and Brazil nuts is noted, with which exceptions there was no materizl variation from former quotations. The hay market was dall and lower for timotby, but fairly active and steady for prairie. The roceipts were liboral, and exceeded tho domand. Hides remain d and unsettled. = Green cured were frecly offorad at 10@11%¢c." Inthe oil merket business was moderatély active, and most descriptions were firm, the only notable exception being lard. Linseed advanced 3c, or to $1.00@1.05, Pig- iron, tobacco, and wood were quoted steady. The demand for lumber continues to improve, the movement being chiefly in the -common grades. At the yards prices for oiste, scantling, fencing, and lath are lower; shingles on track are also ensier. A fair business was transacted in Jumber afloat, and the market ruled firm. Metals and tinners’ stock, iron, and nails were in moderate demand. The market for common bar iron and nails is rather weak,-but withont quot- &blo change. There was no farther change in metals. Dnilding materials remain quiet and unchanged. Wool was in moderats request on ‘Western account. Ths better grades of broom- corn are fairly .active and firm. - Seeds were in modersie re%nub at about yesterdsy’s prices. Choice peschblow potatoes were in fair request, while common and mixed lots were dull. Oran- ges and lemons were higher; other fruits are without quotable change. Poultry was in fair supply and moderate’ local demand, chickens :?ufi u@ friflo oastor. Eggs woro active and firm Highssines were strong, and sdvanced another -¥c per gallon, though not roported materially higher in New York. Bales wero made of 60 brls a4 883¢c, and later of 150 brls at 89c. othor sale was mado of 50 brla at 9o ; was an onteldo transsction. The market closed with 890 bid. Tt is reported that all tho high- winen in Peoria aro held at 90c, and that stosks are gonerally light thronghout the West whilathe | yrofncupn is 00w being diminished. This brings speculative orders hers, and caused the strength 1n prices noted for two or three days past. ako freights wero dull and Ie Jower, at 730 for com and 8 for whost, by aail, to Buflal, and 18 and 14e for corn and ‘wheat, by sail, to Eingston. A total of 4 charters was reporied, which will carry out 380,000 bu wheat end 70,000 bu corn. There are not many vessels offering, but tho feeling ia dacid. weak, as ehippers hold off persietently, It is probablo that vessels conld have been obtain- od to-day to load with corn next week to Buffalo at Te. ugh freights, bylake and rail, are %nnterl at 45c pong00 Ibs to New York, and 50c to oston, * - Provisions wero dull. Mess pork wag the onl; thing dealt in, and declined 10@150 per brl, wit no démand st tho close. Lard and meats wero nominally unchanged. There is no shipping demand of consequence for product, and the speculative demand seems to have been eatis- fied, 'as the shortshave filled in, many operators think that present prices are scarcely safe for investment, eapecially on pork. The ar- Tangements for summer packing indicato that it will be carried on extensively-enough-to supply tho consumptive demaud _at_this snd at other points. The market closed at the follow- ing range of prices : Meas pork, cash or seller May, £17.10@17.15; do seller June, $17.30@ 1735; do seller July, 817.65@17.60; lard, cash oz 85@8.00; do soller June, $9.1214@ r July, $9.85@9.40; summer’ lard, $8.50; do without packages, $8.00.

Tlonr was more active, being about the only ‘markot that compared fayorably in this respect with the record of yesterday. There wore a fair number of mail orders on "hand, and the ship- ers took hold more liberally, other inquiries Eeing limited to the spring grades. ' The market was & shade firmer at quoted rates, though a considerable proportion of the transactions were again reported on private terms. Bran was firmer.

The recaipts continue small, and many operators think wo shall ot receive ely. from- the country till the "nexi crop is assured.

The log cut last winter was much smaller on all the streams than the previous winter. While it was first expected that there would be ample water to bring out all thelogs on the Tittabawassee acd tributaries in particular, the freshot, which was sufficient if it waa of s0 short duration that the water went down befors the logs could be handled, and left them in & worse shape than the previous year. On ome or twostreamsnot a log ‘came up. The Chip- powa saltis cited a3 an instance. All the logs aro hung up in this stream, the firt timo in ivo years. Logs on Bad River are in bad shape, and, while they had a regular flood in the Cass, and a Iarge proportion of the logs will come out of this stream, much difficnlty will be had with the rear, a8 the freshet has left logs scattered around the country, outside tho river banks, for miles and miles. " 'At prosent no safe calculations can bo mmade 88 to tho log crop. ‘the Tittabzwasss boom will have all It ean do, but, worked to its full capacity, we doubt whether it will rn out more logs than last season. The Cass River will fall under last year, and the Bad River will do but little if any better. CALIFORNIA PRODTOE.

GRAIN INSPECTION. The following correspondenca explains itself, and will be found of groat interest to the grain trado:: % SraovormLy, May 2, 1873, GrxTLEMEN: T80e by the Chicago papers a stafe- ment that the Graln Tnspectors of that city have been, and are now, di ting against grain sbipped by the canal and river to Chicago, which statement, if not contradicted or explained, tly injure the State, -and destroy the usefulness of the canal 4 4 competing line of communication. I cannot think that any such action is designed or intended by you, or by Mr, Husper, the Grain Inpactor of Chicsgo, "and that if corn or other grain shipped by the was passed ot 2 lowgrads, or as rejected, th been some good reasons for it. Havinga groat interest in the canal and river improvement, and also belleving, a8 I do, that, if not discriminated againat, it will be ono of the most efTectivo measures in proventing unjust discrimination and extortion by the 3d companies, T look with alarm upon any action. that will tend in the lesst to dostroy its usefulness as a competing line of communication, snd I should be glad to receive such explanation from you as will place tho matter 7ght befors the people, Very respecirully yours, DLIUS B, Sraxm, TotheHon, I D.

Starr : Sn : Your letter, under date 2d inat,, to the Honor- able Board of Raflroad and Warehouse Gommissioners, concerning the inspection of canal has been re- ferred to me for conslderation, The Graln Inspoction Department of Chicago haa Dot been, noris it now, iting sgainst canal My earnest en- doavor i8 to correctly underatand tho inspection laws, and to so administer them as will render as equal anc exact justice to the shipper, the carrier, and to the Lest intercsts of tho trade of this city, &nd to the produc- ing nations at largs, as posaible, N o Inspection Iaw sass Ao, 2 corn ‘shadl be dry, and that all damp corn shall be graded rejccted. Now 1 ossert, without any tear of successful jcontradiction, that every boat-load of canal corn that has becu graded rejocted was 80 graded in conscquenco of betug danp, dirty, or mixed by putting such 63 would bo grader rejected with siich as would be graded No. 2, in order 10 ralse tho grade of the mixture. Now it most be re- ‘member 2d that the law requires that all grain shall be inspocted fn accordance with the lowest quality found in any lot of grain, and here is where a wrong impres- sion may be obtained, in the following munner: A boat-lcad of corn amounts to from 5,000 1o 6,000 bush- els, which is equal to about 15 car-loads, According to the law, if thero should not bo more than one car-load of equal to rejected in the boat, and the balance &hauld be equal to No. 2, all rajected. Bat if the same lot of grain were rive in 16 different cars it might be that one or two or thres cars would contain all the Tojected quality, which ‘would leave tho balance of the csrs equal to No, 2. The producers and_shippers should retaomber that tho yeara 1871 and 1872 wers very dry Seasons, and in consequence there waa very liitlo damp corn, while tho wll:%nm there was an unusual quantity of smow, and the present spring thero has been a great deal of rain, Now I am freo to admit that if all the canal corn that has orrived this spring had been dry, it would, with perhaps'slight exceptions, have been graded No. 2, In every instance where consigners or owners of canal corn have been dissatisfied with tae first regular inspection, I have in every such instance reinspectod 1t with the greatest care. I am comp! strictly with the law governing In- spectors, and have no discretionary power, bat fter the 1st of July, when the new law goca nto effect, the Board of Commissioners will have power to alter or amend the grading :fl;m by xivig's g’unfltzn:ln no- tico.
