WNothing shows tho large incrense of tho capital of tho city within tho last fow yeara moro atrik- Yugly thon tho fnot that our banks have within themsolves the money to move the crops, and gonorally to do the business of tho city and tho Northwest, It is within tho momory of all our - leading business mon that, during tho fall son- ‘#on of nctive shipmonts, our banks hiad to mako arrangoments ot the East for money to movo the oropa s bost thoy could. They aro now about froo from tho grasp of Eastorn sharpers, snd every sonson makos thom more independent of all outsido nssistanco, Shipmonts are largo, and the amounts. of ox- ohango making heavy; but tho demand to-day wes firm, Par to 25¢ por $1,000 woro tho figures botweon bankors, Iar to1-10 promium were tho xatos to oustomors. TATLWAY DEFOSITS, The now Constitution makos it obligatory on tha railways to koop their tranafor-books in this 8tate. Practically, this provislon is not complied with. Wo bave long ago contouded that thoy oughit also to keap thelr deposits in this olty,— cortainly thoso whose terminua is hero, Instond of this, tho funds aro trannmitted almost daily 1o Now York, where, iu too many casos, thoy aro usod by the officars’ of the companles for stacke ‘gambling oporations on Wall atroot. This fact, cortainly in rogord -fo somo of our roads, ‘s beon notorious for years, and some atrine gout laws ought to bo ounoted, if possible, to provent it. The roceipts of our roada for freight alono aro, during the activo business soason, $100,000 or more per day, aud this is at oncoe re- ‘mitted to Wall streot, "o remit for iron, rolliny stock, or su{lplius, intorost on bonds, otc., i, o ‘woursp, logitimnto; but, as ourrailways make their monoy in the West, it 3 thoir duty to keop it ‘horo till it is wanted for logitimnto purposes in Now York. Just now some of our roads aro glv- ing popor nt 80 and G0 days for curront olaims, ‘which undoubtedly could be roadily met in cash woro not somo Inria spoculations on foot for ‘which it is omployed, with doubtrul propristy, ot to uro a harsher torm. ‘The Now York Jourual of Commerce has the following.

Is tho old to bo mixed with the now, again, nnder our Stato In- spection, Our quotations of #1.05%¢ for whoat soller the yonr, on Saturday, was an error. The highost traconblo salo was at $1.05. Tho leading produco markets wors rather mora active to-day, with not muoh chango in the aver- ngo of prices, excapt an easlor feeling in corn and provisions. Tho roceipts exhibited s slight increaso, and tho shipping movement was far from boing aa activo 08 could have. beon wished under the circumstance of additional posting of Lot corn, Tho leading idon in all the markets ‘was tho noar approach of the end of this month, and the deliverics that aro mado possible, or imposeiblo by tho vanishingot July into August. Some liboral orders for domestio dry goods wore placed, but tho inquiry came principally in tho shapo of orders for small parcels_to supply tho current demands of the rotail trade, and tho onoral market was roportod dull. Prices, owever, woro woll sustalned all around, and for tho lending_stoplos woro firm. Grogerion woro moving with foir liborality at about Satur- day’s quotations. An ensior feeling in sugars is notod, but the genoral tono of the market scomod firm. Coffeen and rico were especially o, the tendenoy being to advance. Nothing now was developed in tho hay, hide, and leathor markots. Ohocso was firm and jn rathor bettor zoauost.” Bubtor wao qulet, and, it wo. oxcony choico yollow,—with which' the 'market is only indifforontly supplied,—tho feoling is loss firm. Thera was a good inquiry for fish at full former quotations, mackorol and whitefish ruling n triflo firmer, owing to light stocks. In the dried fruit markot thoro is atill somo oxcitement, and in blackborrles, currants, oitrons, chorries, and poachos, a further elight upward movomont i notod. Oils were guict, and carbon and linscod wore quoted off a little. No changes woro re- ported in paints, tobacco, and wool. At the lumber yarde o fair business was trong- acted for this month, tho local domandbeing principally for lumber suitable for building pur- posos. A firmer feoling is being daveloped in common lumber, The wholcsalo markot was nc- tiva at nbout the samo rangoof pricos, Tho Dardwaro trade was only fair, pricosruling stoady for nearly all matorinls, Tron and stool were Seby b Tho uoted, Tatas. Bullding matorials ‘woro without matorial change, The domand is fair and the supply amplo, particularly of brick. Tho demand for wool continucs fair, tho Inquiry boivg from consumors, Pricos rulo stoady. 'The common grades of broom-corn aro in good ro- uost, aud firm. Choico stock is nlmost out of tho markot. Soods wore again quiot, with tho oxcoption of timothy, whicli was falrly notivo for August, Clover was firm at 86,60@5.76. Groon fruita were abundaut, except borries, which woro searco and firmor, Apples, pears, and ponches woro 8 triflo lower. Poultry and oggs wore with- out new feature. Lake froights wore less active, and a shado easler, belng rather tame at tho iuside rates of Baturday, at 6@6Xc for corn, and 540 for wheat by sall to Buflalo, and 110 for corn’ to Kingatow or Oawogo. Through rates by lake and rail to Now Eugland points wero unchanged at 230 for corn via Buffalo, and 25¢ for do via Ogdons- burgh. A total of 7 chartors was roported, which will talo out 29,000 bu whoat, and 220,000 ‘bu corn, Highwines wors in demand and scarce. An early salo was mado of 100 brls at 920, but at tho close 930 was bid, with none offored ; this is an advance of 10 i gallon on the quotation o{ ;‘fltudly. Now York was reporled stronger at 9dc. Provislons woro more nctive, but in a specu- Intive way, in twning over trades. Moes pork was 200 por. brl lowor, with more doing at-tho docline, and some domand for tho more deferred options, whilo cash lots wore dull, but relatively firm, lard was in folr roquost' at the rocout raductions In quotations, —notwithstanding roported wenknors in Now York.

To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune: Isoo in tho various publications of crop prospocts” that corn is genorally roportod as *“rather late, but doing woll ;" or, *‘corn com- ing ou, though backward,” and, o8 thoso are but comparative torms, I would like to know how it is compared with formor yoars. (Corn is our sfaplo, you know, and wo fool moat interostod in 3 i TFlour, brls,,.., Flour, eks, 280 ite., Oat mcal, fonds, at). 1 il give you the result of my observations, My busiiiess hs oalled mo to_various parts of Troguois and Ford Cowitios, snd I am proparod to oxproes an oplnion as compared with formor onrs. y.On the 1st of July, 1871, I rodo across Iroquols County, from west to onst, . Corn averaged. as Lighus'the foncos (somo higher, and buv little any- lower), and tho plaut very vigorous sad igalthy, and standivg vory ovon. “On tho 1st of July, 1873, I wont ovar iho samo routo and aw thousands of acros of old stnlks slonding. Moro than half of the corn would nat average more than from G to 8 irichos high, and vory littlo stood moro than 1 oot Ligh. On a fow farms (old farus olong tho sicorme) tho crop looked woll, and prospects good for an average crop; but the rulo is as abovo, - Sindo thon 1 huvo buen over & largo ‘part of both countica. Tho oarlier plauting has been i;rnl\'lng quite rapldly ; but farmoers say, ' tho uto corn don't soom to drove out twonty miles -and saw thousands of neros that was not moro than ono foot bigl, and I movor saw corn tassel out so short—a very Iargo por cont luuoflnf out at not ovor throe feot lugh—much evon lower, Corn will commenco to tassel (and the oar slarts soon after) at & certain season without roforenco to tho kimo of planting, to-wit : two iccos planted & month apart will not bo por- Fops raors than & wack difftronea fo Gommons ing to tosuol, and it noeds a hoarty, vigorous growth bofora that time in order to insure n good-sized ear, and thin stunted corn will yiold Vory short cars. 1’ hoar reports of frost lnst week, and uaw some leaves that looked whito and wilted, ns though it miq“ht bo the result of frost, but can't Bay. Itmay bo, o8 ono said to me, tho rosult of plowing when tho soil was in bad' (wot) condi- tion, and tho hot sun sinco. Some farmers think tho{lhuo 8 prospeot of an avorage crop, but I doubtit. I have seon movoral such seasons, and I know that attor such u sonking tho ground will not produce s good ylold; the corn will not fill on the cob. 3 Tightoon hundred aud sixty-throe was vory web oarly,—up to the last of April,—but May Wal & gonfi month for plowing. No rain at al in the month until the 27th. Thon wobad s hoavy rain; thon good growing weatlior, until the “big" frost in August, with occasional showors; but wo should have lad a kliort crop without {ho frost Aug, 30, 1 oxaminod my coru at that time and found woll-formed cobn—%uod longth—filled one-fourth to one-third of tho length from the butt, and gotting uito hard (boginning to dout) and that was all thero would have boen—for corn begins o form the kernol and fill tho whole length of tho cob at nearly the same time,” < Aug, 80, 1863, frost Lillod all vogetation (tkat was kiilablo). Sopt. 19, the ground froze half an inch deep. Oct. 22, four inches of suoW—-30th mora snow, and November and Decomber wore warm snd pleasant to Doc. 81. As “Rural” says, * Btirring onr soil when too wob locks up tho plant-food and no after culti- vation will got it all right.” Our goil will stand any amount of dry wenthor —if in tho right condition. X have scon thirty bushels of corn grown to tho acre without any rain tohelpit; but the corn was planted when uwarmuld was in fine condition, ‘Whon the soll is too wot at the time of plant- ing, it is absolutely nacossary to have vory fro- quont rains. .Tho effecta of o shower, as a farmor said yostorday, don't oom to last, My conclusion s this: With warm, growing woathor and very lru‘clmnne sliowors, the coru now tassoling may yiold one-half as much ds last year (I would give somothing to bo insured thirty bushels per acre on my farm, and tho cro) i now much bottor than the averago), but wit bad wesathor (unfavorable), the * averago nub- bin* will be vory small, I think thore Is much unessiness felt on sc- count of frost. Many pro&huuy another * Aus gust frost” liko that of '03; and wo havo had sovoral atrong remindors of such a thing, Our county papors report frost in localitics last weelt, aud our only hopo is in a very.late foll. If wo Lhiave good growing woathor, with froquont rain 'we may have afair formation of ears, but it will requiro all the “mouth of Qotober to fully ripon the crop, On tho other hand, if wo have woathor to ripen it early, it will cut short o very large nrteunt. Bo that the outlook is bad ‘at the ost. I think' wo shall have some ufioad corn, with & roasonably Into fall, but am fully persunded that tho oast Lialf of tho Stata will not produce half a8 much morchantable corn aa last year undor tho most favorablo ciroumstances, and thers is great dangor that it will bo vory much losu, I lhave hoard very mauy claim that tho pros- poct is fair hero, but they are not farmers, aud ure uot posted.
