5 vOToE MUNEYKND COMMERCE. MONETARY. FnipAx EvryiNo, Oct, 31, Tt would be usolesa to attempt to smooth ovor tho fact that the falluro of Hoyt, Spraguo & Co.s of Now York, and tho concurront rumors in ro- gord to othor woll known morchiants thoro, have creatod a fooling of dopression horo, and un- doubtedly aleo overywhore olso in tho Unitod Statos,.~Tho falluro of large merchants in tho Eeat doos not imply tho probability of divecy losa to oithor businoss mon or baukors in tho West, bocauso, a8 a rulo, Wostern morchiants are debtors to thoso in tho Enst. dobtor to the Wost, except whon our produco is forwarded vory frooly and the procoads of the snla aro turnod ovor to tho Enstorn banks, who often thue bocomo tho doblors of Wostern banks to a vory largo oxtont. The racont bauk snd currency panio, Liowever, wiped out all in- dobtednoss of tho Esstorn banis to thoso in tho ‘Weat. Tho run for eurronoy obliged all the Wostorn banka to draw tholr bolauces out of tho Eaatern banks, Tho Wost Is at prosont largely debtor to tho Xast, while thoro aro almost no dobta due from the East to tho West. 'Thoro s, consequontly, loss dangor of direct loss to par- tles In tho Wost, from important fallures in tho Enst, than the:ewould bo it thoro had not alrendy ‘been a bank pante. But on the other hang, it is woll known that many important morcantile houges in the Wost are sustained by large firms Inthe East. In fact, somo of the most promi- wont mercantile housos in Wostorn citios lare practieally branobies of Enstorn housos, and the failuro of any ono of a dozon morcantile housca In Now York would inovitably oblige many Weost- orn housos to wind up, because it would doprive them of their acoustomed facilities for gotting goods on cradit. Novertholoss, the gront featuro that sustained tho Wost, and particularly Chieago, through the rocont curroncy panio, was that tho Wost deals in food products, aud thar, whatever hiappens, these will soll at somo price, and 8o bring monoy to the Woat, As farss the West is concorned, tho unfavorablo feature of tho prosont commer- cinl crisis is that tho dopression of the manufac- turing interosts deprives tho largost consumers of our food products of the means to buy, and the offoct of Eastern morcantile bo to deprosa tho pricos of West- ta, ro ia littlo to bo said about finaucial mat- tors In this market, bocauao thore is go little do- osits scem neithor to inoronss or de- 'Phie bauks aro discountin and somo of them are confining their foans al- most entirely to ¢ demand” on collaterals, The pork-packers arc in some instances making ar- Tapgomonts now for monoy thoy expect to want two or threo weoks henco, and as arulo thed find but little difiiculty in getting all thoy want. that thero is known Tho East is nover thus indiroct]; But, notwithatanding y 1 country that will bo force consoquence of the shor or ticipated that the paokors of less accommodation from tho banks this fall than usual, for sovernl rensons: packers made a Iarge amonnt of monoy last win- tor, and lave kopt it, The packors of this city aro, in the aggrogate, at loast $1,000,000 richor than thoy woro at this timo lnst yoar.

They aro uunderstood to have al- ready cavered a good deal moro ground (if only in o thin way) than they were asked to cover; and eince it is just as well to be hung for n sheep &8 & lamb, thoro would be no groat harm in ex- tonding tho inquiry a littlo furtbor than they are anpposod to Liave dono. The point to which we have spocial reforonce is this: Whether the average quality of the grain that passes ont of store for any given grade i oqual to tha aversge quality of the grain that is inspeoted in a8 belonging to that grade, It is well known that our standard of in inspec- tion is a high one, and is interproted rigorously by the Inspectors,—as it ought to be. Itis not 80 well known that our standard of out inspec- tion is ‘equally high; and, indoed, thore are ‘many peoplo who aro not at all satisfled that the two standards are equal, Itis woll known that parcels of No. 3 wheat are somotimos wont honce to tho East,which,on arrivingat their destination, are not oqual to the average quality of No. 2 as terproted by tho in Inzgaotvm, and there must bo some_reason for the differenco, If tho rooson be that tho shipper adulterates by mixingin an uncortain peroontage of wheat of & lower grado, tho fact ought to be known, so thot Enatern buyors may bo ablo to send their orders to parties who do not mix in that way, It it ariso from some other causo, either deterior~ ation in tho olovator or otherwise, it would bo well that the business public should bo informed thereof. The aphorism that “a knowledge of tho digense is half its curo,” is equally truo in grain-doctoring as in madication of the human ystom,—and our werohouse systen is but n human institution, in regord to which we' read # Humanum ost orrare, ot peccaro,” Y Cannot the Oommittee, or if not that Com- mittee, then Boms other being or body, **lighten our darkness " in regard to this mattor? ‘The very sevaro weather of tho past fow days hias causod 8o mavy dieastora on the lakes that soyeral marino inaurance compauics have de- un At port of week, squaled 2,000 American balss, with moro on the way.’ The consumption last yesr Was put at 00,000 balca by Emmet W provious_yoar—tlie d spring, cholera, and tompora Brewors held about 8,000 bales of 1872a at tho of of the soston, and the uausual stacka of beer sams timo oqualed 6,000 bales moro, 14,500 bales of 1673a in Wiaconsi, 40,000 in Now York, and 13,000 {0 15,000 In othor Btates, ahd wo huve sboul 80,000 bales, to nay nothiug of 8,000 bales of 1808s, 18608, and 18708 in Now York City and the country, Under no eircumstances con we need over 22,000 Amer- ican bales, which equal about 11 the Iatter running o and meats wore wonk, though no declino was roportod oxcept in hama.
