MONETARY. SATURDAY BYENING, Oct, 4, Tho moat important featuro in Westorn fluauces wow, ls tho rato of Now York oxchange, Tho continuanes of & heavy discount fa, in the pras- Lent {ustanco, nnovidoueo of doubt in rogard to tho etnbility of the Now York Lauke, As farns wo 1 Chiengo aro concornad, it uoed give us 1o un- oasiness, In fuct, tho discount on Now York ex- <hange payablo in Now York Olearing-1louso cortifientes, which 18 woakoning New York by draining tho enrrency awny from thero, is at tho sowo timo utrongthoning Chieago by bringing the earroncey hore, Tho panic has left business in n disorganized conditlon. 'Tho reorganization of banking will not bo accomplished iu all placos at onco; it must havo somo ouo place to bogin, and that placo {8 wnquestionably Chica- Ro, for tho reason that we bave got horo what will command money when nothing olie will, viz : breadstufMs. Itis, thorcfore, rather to the advantago of Oblengo thnt tho Now York banks have placed themselves in o condition that drives tho currency away from there, and pormits it to concentrata hero. It looks now ng though wo should lave more curroucy in Chl- cago bofore tho closo of mnost woolk than wo know what to do with, Itis thought by some that, s soon 88 we get & plothora of currency Liora, it will begin to flow back to {he Now York banks. This would cortainly bo the case if it woro not for tho existence of tho JOAN CENTIFICATES in that city. Duttho fact that tho Now York banks aro practically deatituto of currency will operstc to provont anybody from do- positing curroncy with thom. Thoy can- not look for any accumulation of curroney from thatsource, Thele only courso I to secura a supply of currency ont of their own moaus, by the colloction of their bills re- ceivablo and tho salo of thoir securitios in tho markot for curreney, Tho fact that thoy have retired £1,000,000 of their certifleates shows womo slight progress in that diroction, but docs not by any meanw prove that thoy will bo able to rotiro ovor $20,000,000 moro In tho enmo way. I'he collection of their bills recolvable, and tho snlo of their securitics to ou extont sulliciont to retire tho remynining cortifieates, will necossitnto a1 immango contrnction of loans, and possibly o declino of pricos of stocks aud sccurities. In short, Now Yori only staved off the offects of tho panic to vome extent by the use of the losu- certificatos; but these effects will, noverthelesy, Lave to bo experionced whon tho certilleates nro 1¢eiired. 1N THE LOCAL MARKET tho condition of things continuos stoadily to im- prove. Doposits at tho savings banlks and tho commorcial banks are incronsing, and the banls are gotting stronger ovory day in the accumulu- tion of curroney. 'Tho country banks bavo near- 1y &ll censed to order currency, and the country torrespondents of #omeo of our city Lanks are Increasing their balancos, Thoro is no question but that thero is & great deal moro currency in tho country now than thore is any legitimate nso for in tho movement of the crops. The logiti- mato movement of curroucy to tho country for that purposo had just bogun to fall off, when the panic created a new demand for tho purposo of hoarding. This grent excess of curroncy in the conntry will bogin tocomo buck to the cily just 59 soou a8 the country holders of it ave con- vinced that there Is plenty of currency in tho Chicago bnuks. ‘The determination of the country bauks and thio country people, to hold on to tho currency until thoymie sure wo ora not distressed for want of it, makes country colloctions slow yat, but there has been considerablo improvomont in this rogpect in tho last fow days. Excbunge was taken by the bauks to-day of their regular customers at from 1 to 2 por cont discount for bills mado against shipments of grain and cattle. In mnoarly Wl instances, theso Dbills are for- warded to New Yok and sold for enrrency. Thero are no regular &nlos of pankera’ oxchange balween bauks yot, bocauss sxchange is really searco, One bank shipped surrency to Now York to-dny, with ordors to buy sertificates to pey Now York debts. The im- portant feutura in this transaction is, that, not- withstanding the eurroney gaes to Now Yorl, it Joo8 not go into tho New York bunks; their lonn certiticates keep it out, and will continue to d0 80 ovon when tho supply of curroney in New York City, outsido of tho banks, is much largor than it i8 now. . The scarcity of New York oxchauge in this market also indieates thut tha Western banks havo drawn all their balauces out of the Now York banks, "The supply of monoy in the open markot in this city lins increased largoly since tho middlo of the week, 'Lhe disposition of lenders, how- ever, is to ayoid mercantile puper, and to conflne themselves to lonus on undonbted collaterals like city railwny stocks, gas company stocks, ote., otc. On this cluss of collatorals, considorablo amounts havo beew loaned at lfl’fer cont per an- num, and more money is offored at tho samo rates, On less dosirable collatorals, higher rates are domanded, aud somo large lonns Liave boon mada in the Jast few days at from 1 to 2 por cent or month, 'Thore is &_manifost disposition on ho part of local eapitalists to invost in locul stocks, aud the inguiry for them is active, The panic has been the means of procipitating 8 grost DECLINE 1§ THE VALUE OF SILVER, ‘This decline'hind begun before the panio, in consequenco of the demonetization of silver coin 25 2 logal-tonder in Gormany, and also 28 o To- sult of the vastly jucreased production of silver in this country.
