4 U DAILLY KIBUNE: YKIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1874. MONEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. WEDNESDAY EvENiNg, Dee. 31 ‘Tho money market continues rather tight. bat i is generally regarded as only & temporary condition. A large majority of the annual settle- ments lave already been eithzr made or pro- vided for ; though, perbaps, a good mauy have besn deferred untii after the 4th of Japuars. The first unbroken business weck of the year begics on the 5tlt, and, as it is koown that 3 good many settlements have been deferied until them, it is ot improbmblo that for & week or two after that the deraznd for money will be as active 28 now. The interest aud dividend disbursements will not bave much edect to increxss tie supply of money in the market unul after the middle of the month. & New York exchange was in demand sgain to- day st Lo per $1,000 prewmimw, und several of 1hia banks were silipong currency to New York.

Tuvzspsx EVENING, Jan, 1. New Year's Dey was observed as an entire boliday in commercial circles. Nothing was sven heard, except one offor to sell whest st the slosing price of last evening,—S1.18% ecller January.—but thore was no disposition to trade. We publish the following gummary of WEDNESDAY'S MARRETS The receipta of wheat at i Aug. 20 to date, are 15,970,000 bu, sgaiust 9,190,000 pu for the eame time in 1872. The difference is £,780,000 bu. or an increase of nearly 74 per cent on the rece:pts of the new crop. Dry gocds sold to & fair ageregate 2t substan- tially former prices. While there is no appear- ance of weakness in any department of the mar- ket, thero is special firmnexs in sheetings, shirt- ings, prints, ticke, stripes, and depims, xs’ the demannd is chicfly centered in these, whilo tho eupply both T mapufacturers’ and. dietributors’ hands is jght. There wae only 2 moderate amount of rading in the grocery market, sad values were 10t sutjected to auy decided change. Prices of nost art cles enumerated in our list were un- Jquisocally firm, while in some lines the tenden- i is to advance. Butter was in fair request at 21l pricos, and checse also was moderately ac- ivoand fum. Inthe dried-fruit matket there sereno new features. Apples, peaches, bluck- serries, prunos. =ud currants ara moviag freely | \t strong pricea, while reisins, citron, lemon- soel, and other 'holiday fruits were neglected ind weak. Fish romain steady. No mew features were noted in the leatbier, pig-iron, toal, paiut, and oil markets. The demand for lumber is 8:ill of a limited character, and prices aro tolerably steads, and for some deecriptions, which aro scirce, may be quoted strong. Buildms mater:als are also quiet and pominal. The improved toae of the won market, previously noted, continues, aud both jobbers and ma.ufactuters saticipsto au early Tevival of trade. It is bslieved that tho down- sward tendency of the marlket is now acrosted, at lesst there is lcss disposition to sbade pricer, and some prospect of an advanco {8 manifest. Tinners' stock and metals were quiet. but most— Iy quotable firm, and an advancein tin-plate will probably cecur esrly in_tho year sbould the re- covt sdvance in New - York be sus- tained.

Tim- othy seed was more ective aud firm, at $2.0@ .00, Other seeds were quiet. Doultry and me wero 1n large supply and wealk, except voa- Jeon, which was bLigher, and cloico poultry brought yesterday's prices. Highwines were agsin inactive at the quota- tion ‘of thio past two days, and wera reporied to bo firm thereat. though New Yurk was easier. Sales wero 250 bris af 93c per gallon. Slocks are light. Dressed bogs were in active demand by ship- pers, aud soother advance of 15@25¢ was effect- ed, though buyers held off till late in the session. The best bid at noon was £6.10 per 100 1bs; ‘tho first salo wes at §6.25, and the market closed at §6.40. Sales woro teportad of 110 head (choico heht) st $6.50 ; 420 at $6.40; IGL at $06.25.

Mess pork and lard ruled a shade easier, and weakened Juring tho session, though with & good demund, \hio roason being that some operaiors were ap- prebensive of a beavy maiket on Friday and Sat- Erday, when the Janua:v delivories are mada. There was no change in the prico of live hogs to tause the easier tone. Iudecd, tho roceipts were email enough to induce greater strength in eats, which were generally hid higher—cspe- cially greenlots.

THE LEADTYG NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTHWEST. 'IIE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, TIERCHANT, BANKER, - PROFESSIONAL HAR, | . AND THE FIRESIDZ. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming yesr promisos to be tho most eventful in & political sense that we have seen since the close of tho war. The questions waich have engrossed and divided the public mind during tho pest twenty years are repidly passing eway, and we find growing up in different parts of tho country a party called by vari- ous names—in Celifornia the Inde- pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having & com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers one of the chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large. share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party orgamiza- tions are esscntially corrupt and freudnlent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they bave become mere business enter- prises, making a show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligato and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthfol reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in vogue is & cunning device to rob the many for the bencfit of the fow, and that its effect is to ceuse farm pro- ducts to exchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 3d. That railroads cannot exact more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actually invested in them, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and freudulent bonds, the Stete moy rightfully interfere for the protection of the peoplo; thatunjust discriminetions between different Jocalitics are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to railway, stoamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant sbuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, spoculation, and financial disaster- The general cheracter of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well ostablished to need recapitulation. It is always independent and fear- less in tho expression of its views. TIn its news department it is seccond to no peper in the United States. The Weekly Edition contains & care- {ully prepared summary of the news of the weck, brought down to the hour of going to press. Iiterary, political, financial, so- cial, and eagricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading features of the Weekly Edition, and ro pains will be gpared to increase its attractivencss in these depart- ments. Its mearket reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers require for the intelligent transsction of busi- ness, both as sellers and buyers. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is & large eight-page sheet, of tho same sizo as tho Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely- printed mettor, and, as & family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. v TEE TRIBUNE will be furnished during tho ersuing year at the.fol- lowing rates, payable in advanco: WELKLY TRIBUNE.
