THE CHICAGO DAILY SUNDAY. SEPTEMBLR 28, 1873 . RIBUN MONEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. BAtunpax Eventie, Bopt, 97, As tho banks and' tho poople progross in thia strugglo to ''restora confidenco,” they will oventually discover that thoy have boon sirug- Bling In tho dark agaiust n difflonity thoy have misundorstood, and called it by n wrong name. ‘Thore is much talk of loss of confldenco, and yot it is gonorally olaitned on all sidos that tho banka aro solvont and will bo ablo to pay all Ehelr dopositors, What s it thon in which poo- ple hayo lot confidonco? Unquestionably it is tho nvorsge moveantilo crodit represented by bank baiancoss ‘The dopositors beliove that tho banks will bo abundontly ablo to pay them off with somotbing sa good as thoy gavoe, viz.t ohiocks and morcantilo paper, but the doposttors want something bottor than thoygave, hionco the domand for cutrenoy. Instond of this being s struggle on tho part of the banks to-re-establish publie coufidence in themsolves, thoy aro, withont kuowivg it, strug- gling to lift the avernge morcantile’ crodit of the sountry to a par with tho credit of the Govarn- ment, . But the banks, laboring awsy to overcome ~hot they porsist in rogarding a8 only an tbnormal ecarcity of currency, have gono to work in Now York, Doston, Oinolnnati, aud other placos to supply the temporary dofiolency of our- ronoy by an issue of OClonring-House loan- cortifleatos. This belug only another kind of currenvy, based on the average mercantilo orodit which thoe banks aro trying to 1ift to a par with the Government credit, i in not at a)l surprising that in Now Yorlk those Cloaring-Houso loan- cortificates aro already at a discount of from 3to 4 por cont a8 compared with grooubacke. - Tho mora thoro is irsued of them, the more they will doprociate, becauso thoy sre good for nothing excopt to circulate among s little oliquo of banks in tho Cloaring-House, Tho rosult of their use will bo simply to circeulato round and round among theso fow banks until thoy winnow ovory dollar of greenbacks out of their vaults and tho banks will be in a much worse plight swhon thoy como to the final crash than if thoy had novor used tho loan-cortificatos. ho average morcantilo credit of the country 08 o basis of ciroulating ourrency of any kind would perbops never be so guod under any cir- oumstances as tho credit of the Government. But in the present caso it must Lo remoembered that tho morcantile crodit of tho country at large lms been much injured . by the recont collapse in spoculative schemes, It 18, however, also trua that credit has boen in- jured moro in gome parts of the country than others. It haa undoubtedly been damaged mere in Now Yorlk than in Chicago, and the loan-cor- tifieates of o Chicago OClesring-Houso Associa- tion might not deprociate 8o much as those of a Now York Assoclation, But, after all, the prineiple upon which the certificates are issued is wrong, and any issue of thom in any place can result in no permanent good. Currency will mever flow into tbe present bauks again excopt undor one of two conditions: Tho aveingo mercantile credit of the community ust bo raised to a lovel with Governniont oredit by a liquidation of the prosent indebtedness of the banks to thoir dopositors, or olze tho oredit of the Government must bo dopressed to a par with the prosont average mercantile credit of the country by tho issuo of & flood of groonbaoks, An unprecedentod circumstance in financial af- fairs hus occurred. There has boen an ab- normol expulsion of the curronoy from the ‘Danks. It has placed us in o position whore wo are obliged to elect which wo will do: whether we will liquidate aud bogin on & new basis of mercantile credit, or whether we shall demand & new ora of greon- buck inflation. If wo eleot to begin on anew basis of morcan- tile credit, there is also every reason why it should not aldo be on & specie basis of prices. Theroe is #ow a tido in our affairs which, if taken at its flood, will cortainly load un to the happy result of placing the . fOnanciel affsirs of this country on o firm basis of specle values, There is now such a flood of gold leaving Europa for the United States that it even throatons tho susponsion of tho Bank of England. If we remove the obstruc~ tion of the Legal-Tendor act,so that this gold will circulate a8 mouoy instead of being a mere com- modity as now, it will stay with us ; othorwiso it will flow back to Europe again juct us 5oon as tho foreign demand for our broadstuffs ceases, and the rato of foreign cxchango turns agninatus, ‘Tho grecnbacks aud National Bank notes can- not got out of the country. Greenbacks would still bo a legal tender for all debts contracted prior to tho xoposd of the act, aud also for taxes, Thoy would still eirculate as o depreciated cur~ roncy as compared to specie. But as thoy are simply the non-interest boaring bowds of the Government, and asthey would, somotime, neo™ essarily be funded into bonds bearing some rato of interest, thero would be no reasoun for any great dopreciation, But the great demand for them to pay oft the pnormous mass of present indebtedness would keep them in active cireulation. At fivet glanco it might scom that this con- dition of things would make & necessity for tho Government to resumo specie payments, but thero is no reason that tbis should bo the case. 1f the Government should some time fund ite greonbacks, that would bo all tho resumption re- quired. THE LOCAYL, SITUATION. In applying the aboveremarks in rogard to the liquidation of tho deposits to the local situa- tion, wo do not wish to bo understood that alt tho banks should give logal mnotice that they will 8o into voluntary fiquidntion, and quit the banking buainess, Wa mean that thoy should sottlo up at onco, finally and completely, with every depositor who de- mands the sottloment of his account. If the bank caunot command ocurrency enongh to do this, it would be an ovidence that the depositors dld not rogard tho assets of the bank, and par- ticularly its bills recoivable, as boing based on sonnd oredit. Tho only way for a bank to do iu to pay on domand. Whon it Les got rid of all doposits, oxcept Buch as the depositor is per- Jectly willing should remain, the bonk will bo on a now bnals of credit. Whon such o condi- tion is reached by any bask in this city or else~ whero, curroncy will be doposited in 1t, and not beforo. VOLUNTATY LIQUIDATION, T Manufaoturers’ Nationsl and the Socond Nutiouel have dofinitely stated thoir intontion of going into voluntary liquidation, under the 42d soction of tho National Currouoy act. Wo bave no figures from tho Socond National that would give much inelght into its affairs, Yrom o th MANUPACTURERS' NATIONAL wo have tho following: Doposits, 800,600, Gr osd nusets, §1,600,000, 8s follows, viz.: Funds immediately available, including cash and ox- chavgo, §126,000 ; cash Itoms, €45,000 ; bills xo- colysbto, §1,180,000, Margin botween tha out- standing circulation and the market prico of the bonds deposited to eecure 1f, sbont 110,000, Other bonds and stocka considerod good, 73,500, THE TIIRD NATIONAL will, in all probability, resumo business again just 08 #oon as it can turn its assols into cagh toan oxtont that will give it a good supply of cur- roncy. Nobody doubis the ultimate solvency of the bauk. Tomporarily, the collectiona of the T'hird havo beon turned aver to the Commorclal Natlonal—T, 1I, Eames, Prosidont. THE COOK COUNTY NATIONAL will prabably rosuma bueinesy eacly next week, I'ho Unlon Nautional is undoterinined what to do yot, and no fiual decision will proably bo made tor o faw days yet, THE DECREASE OF DEPOAITE in tho Chioago bunks during tho past woek has been onormous. From actual figures, taken up to Inat ovening, we cstimato tho decronse of de- posits in tho banks of this oity dusiug the weok up to that time nt over eleven millfons of dollars. The grontor portion of thia has boon sont out in onrronoy to banka intho country. Tho nggro- gate of tho commerclal doposits in tho olty lias, thoroforo, boon diminished about 40 por cout in tho weok. K COMMERCIAL.

Tho action of tho Board of Trade yestorday had cut off option trading for tho prosent, oxcopt in sottle- mont, and the bosa fide sale of prop- orty to be dolivered during the early part of next month, and thus oxtinguished at one stroke o largo part of the trading- usually witnessed on 'Ohango. Tha recelpts wera largor than yostordny In grain, but not heavy, and holders were not in a hurry to sell, whilo there was no pressare on the markot to dispose of stocks in storo, a8 tho weak-shouldered onos had alroady sold out, or beon gold out, during tho eatlier doys of the panic, Honco tho londing cereals wore decidodly strong, in presonce ot nunicrous ordors to buy cash grain and pay the Gorrangy therelor, Thoro was plonly of money on tho Hoor for this purpose, principally for wheat, corn, ond barley, Dbut the holders thoroof oporated quite cautiously lest thoy showd induco o furthor ndvanco in oy bo anxious to buy. not, however, Erovonh s radical rise in whoat, which wns wanted ¥ Boveral parties at once, while they did succeod mholdln’g down other msrkots to pearly the figures of the day provious. Taking it all together the produce business of to-day ovnlosmd a_fecling which suflieiently provos that it is healthy, and can bo tied to; algo being on the mend. There really was uo necessity for a panioin Chicago, any way, Tho sudden collapso of ever s0 many sir-cnstles, tho disappearanco of » few caokes Who had super- vised the boiling of n big speculative pot, and ovon tholoss of all the clews to the sccrets of tho financial world, has not made our wheat and corn worth ono cout ]l:ar ton less than two weoks ngo, though it mny avo lowered tho solling prico by 1eason of scarcity of the circulating medlum, DBut tho millions of Europe are short of bread to-day for tho current harvest year, to 8 much qrantnr ex- tout than we aro short of curroncy. ‘I'hoy must bave something to eat, and can_onply obtain enough by purchasing overy bushel that wo ‘have to spare. Thero is, thereforo, no resson for alarm. A great deal of money hag slrondy arrivad hore to pey for our breadstufls, and » great deal more i on the way. Tho congaquence of this will be that instead of bolng whort of money, Chicago will Lave much moro this wintor than ber goneral averago, though its distribution to the lower olasses may have ro- ceived a checl, tho offects of which will not dis- appear for somo timo. Those who are ablo to udgo think that our coming packing senson will 0 moro activo, if anything, as a consequonco of the present stringenoy, and that tho grain trade of the fall and winter will bo unusually active, Ono immediato effoot of the stringenoy is tho regolve with many of our busincss mon to sond 1o more goods into tho country, unloss tho cash accompanios tho ordor, This will nocessarily restrict trade for a while, but the interruption can only bo of short duration, after which busi- ness will be renowed evon more actively for tho temporary check it has recoived. . The most disastrous consequence of the panic is, howover, tho threatencd suspension of worl by somo of our manufacturers, and the cutting down of force by some traders, for the resson that they find it difficult fo raise money enough to make prompt payments to thelr workmen, It is sincoroly to be hoped that these rumors aro large axnfgarntlnna of the faots. Certainly tho presaut situation doos not warrant any wide- spread dischargo of workers, as tho monoy now coming in for produce will mako the local mnr- kot much easior within a fow days, and, with & restoration of confidonco, money may be agnin abundant before the closo of the coming waufi(. There was scarcoly sny trading on Change this morning from 9 to 11 ‘o'clock, owing to the susponeion of option doals, and soms of tho mombors amused thomeelvos in varlous ways, which, though not disgracoful, were so much out of order, that thoy were callad to rights by tho Becrotary, and roquested to romember that they wero gentlomon. The rominder was enough; and the appearance of cash buyors at 11 o'olock, found employment for most of thom, cither in watching or trading. The dry goods irade was sgain reported slack, A fair number of ordors from interior aud local merohants were placed, but tho amounts called for wero gonorally smnfi, and the aggrogato dis- tribution wae the lightest for many days. In values thero wore no decided chauges, tho gen- eral market 1iaintaining the firm tono that bas charactorized §t for a mumborof woeks past, There wera no now fosturcs to note_in con- neotion with the grocery market.

An Artist who Frightenod the Great ! Master Out of Klis Witse From the Gazctta Musleale, Dauhanser, tho paiuter, was ou ardont admiror of Boothoven, whom he hiad met at many musi- cal gatheriugs in Vieuna. It .is undoubtedly truo thot Beethoven was rather brusque, and carefully avolded formiug sy now nequaknt- sncoship whatover, but Danhauser's frank and affablo maunners produced a vory favorable im- prossion on him. Aftor tho two had met acol~ lontally several timos, Dupbausor ‘thought he should liko to take a cast of Boothoven's fuco, 80 08 to progorve for postority o falthful pqr!mli of :tho groat mun, Ho mentioned bis wish on b first opportunity, but Boslhoven, under va- rioua protoxis, endoavored to avoid complinnco, confossing that o had not_tho slightost wish to see his featurc reproduced, and thet no was too impatient to eudure belug posed. Dou- hnusor, however, was not 80 oasily boaton, Ho nover censed vaunting the merit of » model ta- lion from Naturo, ndding that Boothoven owed it to pouterity to haud down to them his foatures. Danhauser pleaded his causo 5o warmly that at longth Boothoven ylelded, and 5 day was named for him to go (o the paintor’s hougo, At thnt timo, bouldes painting in oll, Danknusor dovoted & groat desl of timo to modoling, and inventiny patierns, for a manufnctory of furniture an Wood-carvings, left him by his futhor. * Josoph Dunbiauscr, & pupll of Potor Croft, was ‘born at Viouns, in 1805. His genre piclures nre very valuablo, Among the bokt known are *'The Oculist,” *The Opening of tho Will,” and the 1 Qonvent Bupper.” Muany of his historical pie- turos, nlso, are worthy of Hotico, especially the plcture which adorns tho gh alvar of the Catho- dral, Eylau, aud which roprosonts St. Btophon sud Abrohom ropudinting Agar, Danhanser died in the flowor of Lis ago, 1 1845, in bis fathor's hiopee, Vienua. His name has beon given to tho stroot ho inhabited. At last the day so impatiently expectod ar- rived; the day ou which Boothoven had promis- od to go to Dauhnusor’s, Tho great composor kopb Lis_word, and was most warimly wolcomed, Adter a short conversation, Danbausier prepared for work. Beothoven, aftor taking oft his cloak. aud oravat, was requestod to it down. Yo will not hurt my head, I supposo,” ob- servod the composor, somoewhat dismayod ab the - preparations Lo behold going on. Danhaugor, trauquilized lum, promising to bo quick, 80 o to abbroviato as much a8 possiblo suytling thore might bo disagreeabls in tho pro- coss, ‘Yo Boothovon's groat astonishment, tho ainter boguu by Emflng thin staips of paper on E!u oyobrows, aud by smearing with an olongi- nous liquid il parts of liis fuco whero there was ooy hair, Ho then asked tho composor to put s small tubo to his mouth, and to shut s eyes. Tho roader must know that, to take the cast of a faco, tho lntter is covered with tepid plaster in a liquid state. Thoe plaster soon gets cold, and forme & solid maas, which, whon romoved, containg tho exack lincnments of _ the countensnce. Tho cperation is excecdingly disagreenblo for those subjected to it, becauso the face is, go to speak, walled in, and tho pationt can breatho ouly through o ‘small pipe or tubo, Dosidos this, tho plastor, whon drylug, produces o very painful sonsation, to say nothing of the fact that it js no casy matier to remove tho cast, bocsuse overy hair adhoring to the plaster is productive of pain. Danhousor had purposcly “omitted oxpluning il this to the ‘composor, for foar tho latter should rofuse to undorgo the ordeai. Boothoyen bad, therefore, not the slightest suspicion of what was in storo for bim. if 'ter the firat fow passes of the brush omployed to lay on the plaster, he scomad alarmed, but when tho plastok, in drying, bogan swolling and irritating his chooks nud forehoad, ho was both Lorritled sud_greatly enraged. Ho bounded to his feot, with bis hair on ond, and, whilo endenvoring to got rid of tho Ilatter, ex- claimed t“ ?luu are an impostor, & ecoundrol, & mon- stor{" “ For Henvon's exko, Capclimeisier I stam- mered Dannhausor, confused and stupofied, But Beothoven, without allowing him to conclude the sontonco, vociforated futiously ¢ “ Blackguord—cannibal 1” “ Pormit me to—" snid Danhiausor. ¢ {oop off1” rourod Bocthoven. Flinging his chair away, and catching up his closk and bat, Lo rushod toward tho door. Danhauser man after him to offer his cxcuses. Dut Bootboyen, without deigning to hoar a word, ex- claimed: **Beoff you villumn, knave, nssassin. T'ako cure nover t0 como noar me, for I will strangle you!" Having uttored these words he went out, swoaring nnd stamping his feof, with his faco all plastored over with white, liko thut of the epce- tor in_*Don Jusn." The door was slammed violently to, and tho unfortunate painter, torri- fled and confusod could still hoar at o distanco tho maledictions and improcations which tho composer was burling ot Lis hoad. After that Beothoven would not bold tho slightost com- munication with Daubauser. Every time ho saw him, oven at a distance, ho flow into a passion, and nvoided bim a8 much as possiblo. It was not long, however, bofore Dauhauser 4id take o cast of thogroat composor's faco, aftor all, aud that, too, without exciting any outburst of rugo. Boothoven was dead. —— Wackupds Washing. From the Norvistowon Herald, A, Wackup, & married man of Bridgeport, quit worle early the ottior aftornoon, and went home to fix up for the purpose of sponding the evoning—or rather Lialf the night—with & num- ber of his frionds. He found bis wifo lying uj on the loun§o enjoying o sick hondncho, but hio couldn't find a clean shirt, Mrs. Wackup said his shirta woro washed, but not ironed, and eho was too ill to do it, and it was the girl's after- noon out, A shade of disappointment clouded his brow, and, rushing into the kitchon, ho slammed the door with much earncstness, and fortunately found an iron on the rango nico and hot. Thon ho dived into the baskot of damponed clothes, and found ono of his shirts at the bot- tom, just as ho expected. Ho neroml the garmont out on a table with- out flrst romoving the oilcloth cover, aud hur- rledly consulted his watch, Thon he couldn't find the fron-holder, and substituted his pooket- handkorchiof, and, after burping four of bis fingers and breaking ono of tho command~ monts, ho londed tho hot iron on his shirt- bosora, Ho thought tho garment bad a strango look, but supposed it would assume its propor shape whon ironod—and ho shoved the iron up and down like a jack-plane. Tho labor scomed 80 ensy that ho montally sald ho had a miud to follow tho businoss for & lving, Thon ho un- dertook to twn lis shirt, and just bocause it adhored to the 'S:lnzod table-cover, ho gaveita violont jork, ndding at lonst eix Inclios more to tho split in tho baol:, ‘Thon ho noticed for the fiist time that ho had set the hot iron on tho tail of tho garmont and scorched a holo in it as large as his hand, and in his bhasto to romove the smoothing-machine ho noglected to use the holder, and dropped the hot froud on Lis choico toe; and when Mrs. Waokup, who was stnrtled by the instonsity of his lavguage, enteroed tho ldtchon, holding head with both hands, she discovered her hus- band hoppiug about tho room ou ouo foot and clasping the other with both his hands.
