THE CHICAGO, DAILY , TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1874, MONEY AND COMMERCE.. MOXNETARY. Tcrspay EVESING, Jan. 18, The demand for money continues very activo, at the banks are accommodating ail their regu- Br customers at 10 per cent. ~ In the open mar- ket there is also a good supply of money at the wme price, and we learn of considerable sums seing seat in by country banks for investment = commercial paper. This shows that money is plenty iv the country. The active movement nd high prices of grain snd pork are making the Northwest feel rich; and, tnough the trade 'n manufactured goods of every kind is very small just at present, the cutlook for & good business during the next four or five months was scarcely ever better than now. This seems tobe the general feeling of the whole buainess community. New York exchange is still scarcs, and sells at 60c to 75¢ per £1,000 premium. The movement of currency from this city, both to the country and to New York, is quite active. . ANNUAL BANK ELECTIONS.

PREFERENCE CREDITORS OF AN INSOLVENT DEBTOD. ‘Bome recently published rulings of the Su- . preme Court of tho United S:azes nt its October ferm, eudeavor to define, as far 58 poesible, th extont to shich an insolvent _debtor tay permit his property to be takeu under o judgment and levy to satisfy one creditor 1 preference to otbers, though at the seme time he may know that he is insclvent, aud would be without de- fense ageinst the petition of any other creditor _foran owder in bankruptey.* The Court held * 28 follow: ¥ 1. Under s sound construction of Sections 35 and 39 of the Bunkrapt iaw something more than pussive- non-resisiance in an insolveut debtor’ is necessary to iovandate a judgment aud levy on his property when fhodett §s d0e und he ks no defense, 2. In such case there is 10 lcgal obligation cn the dettor to file a petition in_bankruptey to prevent the ** judgment and levy, and a failure %o dosois not suf- Jicient evidence of o0 intentto given preference to, the judgment creditor, or to defeat the operation of the Bankrupt law. 3. Though the judgment creditor in such a case may Xnow the insolvent condition of the debtor, his judg~ ment and levy upon his property are mot, therifore, Void, 2ad are 1o violation of the sct. = 4. A liex: thus ebtained by him will not be displaced by subsequent_proceedings in. bunkruptey, though cammesced within four months after levy of the exe- cution or rendition of the judgment, b, Veby slight circumstances, however, which tend ‘to show the cx.stence of an atlirmative desire on the . parv.of the baukrupt to give a preference or to de- Joat he operation of the act, may, by giving color to tke whole traneaction, render tLe liea void. 6. These xpecial cirruistances must be left to de-- " eide each case us it arises. LOCAL STOCK AND BOY Measra.

Tuzspat EVENING, Jan, 18, The following were the receipts and shipments of the leading articles of produce in Chicago during the past twenty-four hours, snd for the corresponding date one year ago: RFCEIPTS, BHIPXENTS. 1874, | 1873, | 1873, i Flour, brls. 17,180 4,900, 2,497 Wheaf, bu. 2c6,110| 19,670 s 36,310| 107,230, 1,151 49,2000 29,350 14149 1,540] 3,197} 214500 10,610 Grass seed, 103,994 Fuax sced, 1bs. : '.’0::5\1{1 Beef, brls. 37 Pork, brls. 151 Lard, bs | 76280 Tallow. 35,37 -Butter, lus. 56,00 Dreescd hoge, No. Live hoge, No. Cattle, No..

Salt, 'br} Witbdrawn from store yesterday for city con- sumption: 7,90 bu wheat, 8,802 bu corn, 629 buonts, 763 bu rye, 460 bu barley. The following grain hes been inspected into store this morning, up to 10 o'clock : 364 czra wheat, 55 cars corn, 33 cars oats. 3 cars rye, 13 cars barley. Total, 463 cars, or 170,000 bu: The lcading produce markets were rather less _active to-day, and most of them wero easier ; the excitement of yesterday being a littls too much to be sustained, though there was no real weakness, The markets were relatively stesdy at a small decline, though = little more mnervous than ugnal. The advices from other points were encouraging to holders; "but the receipts of wheat weve large, and feara wero expressed that high prices will brng in produce at & grester rate than wanted. - Hence, many held aloof from buying, anticipating a decline. - o ' Our stocks of grain are increasing, but less rapidly than was soticipated, At the rate of growth noted ‘daring the past weok, we shall have less than 8,000,000 bu of all kinds hora at the opening of navigation, and we have some- times commenced the winter with pearly that amount.. The shipping movement eastward by Fail continues good 1 the case of wheat, and the presect showing will probablybe kept np through the rest of the winter. For other grain receipis aro not large enough to cause alarm, and the differences of -opiuion relative to short crops are being settied Dy the inexorable logic of events. Tue dry goods market now shows _eteady im- provement in its general features. Trada is re- \iving, and prices of most of the leading arti- cles again seem'to be on tho ascending scale. Thero was a liberal distribution of siaple gro- cories, aud also a fair smount of trading in side goods at generally frm, svd, in some inatances, at Liigher prices. Collees were advanced a Xc, io sympathy with New York, which advanced a 14c yesterdsy.- A New York exchange mays: “*The market for Brazils is again_higher, owing to decreasing stocks and light shipments from Rio. The preseot runge of prices is higher than ever before obtained 10’ this maiket, The de- mand, however, is not brisk, a1 buyers hold to a -#hand to month policy’ in buying, taking ouly gutticieut for immediate wants.” Bugars, sirups, spices, soaps, and starch were strong.’ Cloves, 233¢x156)4 ft, dated April 5,1873 ; consideration, $1,350, | aro searco and higher—oow held at 45@47c. A | market for seller 3¢c in peppar was slso establisbed. Teas con- tinue fairly active and are held with confidence, a8, stocks are light, and the importations bid {air to continue Jimited for some time to coma, The different grades of Japan teas wore marked up 5¢ per Ib. I the butter and cheese. markets there wag a liboral amount of trading at full former rates. Fish and dried fruits were mov- ing on a liberal scale, with prices tending higher. Conl, wood, and pig iron remain dull as previous- 1y quoted. There wad ouly s moderate inquiry for paints and colors, bat oils were 1n good ro- quest, and wore fumly hold at the guotations ; carbon st 143@15c; extrs lard at 80@33c; botled linseed ut $1.02, and turpeutine as 502, Thero wete no_new featares to note in re- gard to lumber. The demand is small and prices unchanged. Building materials remain quiet. The stock of common brick is small. and, should trade revive early, and there sre already indica- tions of its doing o0, an adrance is ancicipated. The demand for iron cuntinties to improve, and the market is quite firm. Metals and nails are 140 more nctive, and quotations, at least for tho former goods, aro maintained. Furs are coming forwatd quite freely, aud are readily bouzhs up by dealers af the current .prices. Wool is firm and in_ very light stock. No chango was noticed in Dbroom-corn or Lopa. Hay is dull and weak. Secds were rathor quict, but steady and firm, excepting Haugarian and millet, which were a shade easior. Cuoice chick- ens, turkeys, quail, aud grouse. were in good request and bigher, but other offerings of poul- try snd game were dull. - Highwines were in good demand, nnd again advanced e per gallon, in consequence of rela~ tive scarcity, there beiog mo material change reported from New York. The diderence in rices in the two cities is now only 3o, which oes not pay for shipment. Sales were reported of 200 brls at 97}ge, at which price the markot closed steady. Dressed hogs wero dull snd weak. Shippers wanted 80 few thattho usual discrimination in favor of heavy lots was almoat eutirely ig- nored, and tho market dragged at 86.00@6.10 for anything, exéept that. ono silo was mado of a choice lot at $6.20 per 100 Ibs. Receirts were less than yesterdsy, but not a faw were held over, in hopes of a botter market to-morrow. Sales were reported of 100 at 36.2) ; 850 at $6.10; 830 at €6.071¢ ; 90 at §6.05 ; 45¢ at $06.00. To- tal, 1,874 head. . ‘Provisions wers moderately active, but easier, in sympathy with dullness in tho grest bulk- of the hogs now on sale in this market. The feel- ing way, howevbr, widely different, on different classos of product. Mess pork was not in much domund, and fell off about 10c per brl; the reason being that a good mauy operators “are afraidof it. We havo now in”store not far short of 150.000 brls, if it were all counted up, and = good deal of this will be delivered on February options within three weeks from date, while no one knows what will'be dono with it after the speculators bave got lired of bandying it'sbout, as tucre are now Gomparatively few pooplo who' will eat pickled pork if they can get dry saltcd meats at the snmo prico. Lard was firm, under & good do- maud. Several of our leading operators have made a careful’ canvass of tho situation, and seem to bave concluded that the yield of the West will show a very largo falling off; some estimate that the shartage will be fally 100,600 tes. Hence they thunk lard will be good prop- erty, aud ere buying all that is offored, though not anxious to runprices up on themselves Ly sceming too eagor about it. Meats were dull and easier, buyers being few, and generslly ze- ducing thewr bids 3ge per I, in con- sequenco of anticipated largo offeriags of country _ product.
