(] THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1873, MONEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. WEDNEADAY EvENTXG, Sopt 17, Aftalra in tho locnl money market to-dny woro quiotor than yosterday, The demand from tho country for curroncy, though _utill large, wan toss than yestorday, Now York oxchango waa atill vory flat, owing 10 tho largo amonut on tho market, aud the do- wand for convorslons into ourronoy. Thero wora plonty of sollors ab 1.25 por 1,000 dis- tount, but fow buyers, and vory littlo was donoe. Monoy {8 growing s littlo closor, though nt tho banls the eupply ia smplo to all approvod borrowers at 10 por cont. Tho heavy docline in Northwostorn and Rocle Ieland stocks to-day shows that tho complica- tions In the crso of tho Caunda Southorn,— who#o stockholdors aro mitch the namo s in the two firat montionod roads,—have assumed & lous tavorablo aspect, The lntest aspocts of tho Envopean crops shows a probability for an fucroased domand for both whoat and ¢orn fyom this country to supply the doflcionoy of orops in Lngland, Franco, Uungary, and Maly, Itisa notablo fact thab cargoos of whont havo Iately boen shippod from Now York to Marsclles, and also ports in Xtaly, which have horetoforo always recoived any neccessary foroign aupply from tho Black Sea. Bub this is not ail, Tho Indian corn erop of both Hungary and Transylvania is ropottod to bo a faflure in nll parts of thoso Irovincos. T'his crop, though seldom of suflicient magnitude to furnish alarge oxportablo surplus, is relied on for home consumption, and to that oxtout—boing n chenper articlo than wheat—bocomos a substi- tute for it. Tho use of corn ay a substituta for wheat has increased largoly in Europe in tho post two yewrs, o8 is shown by tho groat increnso in the exports of corn from tho United Btates. The present situation, thero- fore, promises an incronsed foroign demand for corn a8 well as whent, In Now York also the stock of corn Iy small, and it 18 fonred there thot the pressure of wheat to matket will block tho movement of corn, aad thusleave Now York and Now England at tho closo of lake nayigation with & short supply of corn. In this situntion ond in view of tho Iusufliclont means of trans- portnsion for Western products, it bocomes n roblem ag to which sball hove tho preference or transportation, whont or corn. Just at pros- eut thoro is much loss inducetaont to ship corn thauwheat, though, from prosont apposrances, this difforance may net continua #o great during tho rest of the soason, . In connectiou with tho deficloney of trauspor- tation it is olaimad by many railrond mon that tho difficulty, as far as the railroads aro con- corned, is not o much tho lack of roads as it is tho lack of storage capncity in bath Naw York und Chicago, and also, to Homo oxtont, tho lack of abutter ystom of trausfersing frojghls in Chieago. OIPOSITION OF TRE NATIONAL DANK MONOIOLY TO . BPEOIE RESUMPTION, ‘Evidonco accumulates that some doclded movo will be mado in tha next Congrass for ' fres vavking." By this wo mean simply tho ro- moval of the monopoly clauso in tho Nautional Curroucy nct, which rostricts its volume to 854, 000,000, It i8 now reported that two mombora of the Hauking nud Curronoy Committoo of the Iast Congress,—ona of thom, C. L. Morriam, of New York,—havo avowed thojr intomiion to urge tho ropont of tho monopoly clauso in the next Congross, T'ho emorgoucy that will force this iseno upon Con- gross 18 tho requiremont. in the lnw of July, 1870, Lhat after tho 954,000,000 of National Bauk cir~ culation authorized by that act shall have been takon up, $25,000,000° moro cireulation shall bo taken from banks in the Eastern States and dis- tributed among banks in the West. The National Dauks that hold the prosent £354,000,000 of circulution are opposed to tho repeal of tho monopoly-clause, becsuso thoy aro apposed to specio rosumption. Thoy feur that the increaso in National Lank circula- tion will—as it should—he accompauied by n withdrawal of groonbacks in some ratio to the Incroaso of bwnl notos. This chauge in the proportion of greonbacks to bank notes ia tho tost certain mothod of getting back to spocio paymonts, and thiy is just what tho bauks do notwant, It is, thoreforo, e)robnblu that thero will bo an organized opposition from tho banks to tho ropeal. Tho Enstorn Nationai Banks, howover, find themaolves in o dilomma. By the law of July, 1870, they nro compolled to sur- rendor $96,000000 of their present circulation to = now bauks in tho ‘Weat, tho only nlternative being an increaso of the aggregato bauk circulation over tho 2351,- 000,000 alrcady nuthorized. To meat this omer- gouey and at the mame {ime to proserve thoir monopoly of bank circulation so as to prevent suy progress toward specie resumption, the Eastorn National Banks favor, and have got tho Comptroller of she Currency torecommend, that Congress shall authorize an increaso of §35,000,- 000 of Nutional Bank circulation to new banks in the West aud South. The general argumont urgod sgaiuss the ropeal of the monopoly clauso is tho foar of inflation from excossive issuos of the bauks. — Wo bave, however, shown ovor and over again that puch foars aio groundless and ridiculous. ‘Tho more the banks increass thoir circulation, the moro they incrense tho propor- tion of bank notes to greenbacks, aud, consc- gquently, diminieh the mesns of noménal rodemp- tions of baok notes in greonbacks. The logical result of this process would bo to make it noc- eesary for tho bunka toeithor retire their circula- sion or provide the means of actual redemption in specio,” No matter which they do, thore is no dangor of tho inflation of the bank-note circula- tion. It is an ecstablivhed fact in finances that s bank-note circulation, socured by deposit of bonds and convertible on de- wand into spocte, caanot bo inflated, The Issuing banks that rodeem their circulation oun domand will find it impossible to put out moro notes than are roquired in tho business of the country; tho surplus will immediately flow baclk to ike bank for redemption. The increase of National Bank circulation in proporfion to groon- backa i a stop toward this condition, If, in- Btead of $3064,000,000 of Nutional Bank circula- tion and ©350,000,000 of groonbacks, 83 now, there were 600,000,000 of Nationnl Bank noteu und $210,000,000, or ovon $250,000,000, of groen- backs, the groat bulk of the laitor wonld be held 0 resorves by Lho bauks against their clreulation and deposits, I'hoy would be 5o sicarce a4 tocom- mandaslight premiumover bank-notos;this would start o sysiem of redomption of National Bank notes. - If, then, 25 per cont of tho customs du- Lios woro recoivablo in grocnbacks at par with gold, this would Lo thoir valuo in tho market. This would be specie resumption brought about by o uatural and gradual process without any shock to business, or auy approvisble shrinknge of values, which soems to ba tho great bug-boar in connection with a roturn to a bpocie basis. Who first stop in this process is, howover, to ramovo the rostriction on the aggrogato volumo of bank circulation. Let the country have just as much currency me it can uso, just as much as there is capital to take and secure by the doposit of bonds under the oxisting rogula- tiona of the National Curronoy act. Flhis would effectually close the mouths of thoso who aro infatuated with the notion that an incroase of owrency is an increase of loanable capital. The next step is to provide that this unlimitod supply of currency shall bp of a sound charac- tor, by gradually withdiawing 1ho moans of fic- titious redowptions in groonbacks that are not worth par, Tho proposals made by Tressurer Bpinnor «and othors to set a day for’ resumption by tho Gavernmont are ill-considered, and any suoh oxperimant would insvitably produce o erisis at tho specified timo unlosa tho prico of gold had already sunk permanently to par. 1f groon- bucks and gold had already como pormanontly to a par tho epecification of & day after that would bo superiluous, THE FOLLY OF PROCRABTINATION in tho rosumption of specio paymeuts is shown by tho following table of the fluctuations of tha prico of gold smco 1865, By thiy it will be meen that tho shrinkage of nominal values which would bo tho result of gold declining to par from the present prico hiavo beon many times excceded in the varions fluctuations in tho past, 'Thesa fluctuations will coutinne as long as there {8 no moye towards ro- sumption. Whilo on tho other hand, with a raperly inangurated &)lnn of raturning to upocie ny throwing the burdon of it on tho Natlonal Yanks, as shown above, tho difference bolwoen groonbacks nnd gold would disappoar ko grad- ually that there would be no perceptible shoclc {o businoss, "I'he highost and lowost quotations far gold in Wall Btraot vinco 18G5 are thus givan in @ tablo in tho Now Yorlk Bullelin ¢ Diference Ter cent, rai'igd Tiixo 20, Fall 9k Bay.
