6 MONEY AND COMMERCE. TyrspAY ByrNiNG, Feb, 3. The groat aativity in local finances yestorday, in consequenco of tho sottlomonts in tho graln trade, is shown by the cloatings of the banks to- doy, to the largo amount of £6,700,000, an amount which wo bellove has nover boon ox- eéodod but onco, whon the clearings ronched an ngrrogato of $7,000,000, To-dny mattors hnve settlod down into o quiot condition ngaln, and tho demaud for monoy hns dooronsed, 'Ihese monthly sottloments aro, of courso, only n shift- Ing of tho lond of grain from one kot of holders to nnother, nnd, both boing in this market, it is also only nsbifting of the loans from ono local bauk to nnothor, The netivity, thoroforo, only donotea a chango in local ne- pounts, but none in tha supply of money in the market, Aloney is, however, bLecoming more abundant, not only in the local markot, but all over tho conniry. In Now York thoro is o plothora, and thore was nover 8o much money in tho country west of this cily ns now. Nemly two months ago wo sald that the loss of confidence In railroad stocks nnd socuritics would so diminish the unaual avenues for investment that monay would firsi sock commoditics, and finally, when thesn woro sold and exported, would scok cily roal cstate, Tho speculation in provisions, and the disposition to do the samo in grain, already sus- taing this view to some oxtout, nnd as monoy becomes more abundant it seems likely to sus- tain it completely, Now York Exchange i firm at 50e per $1,000 discount. A NEW MOVEMENT FOR REDEMPTIONS. Thoro is now a plethora of National Dank notes in Now Yorl, and tho banks of that cily, dosirous of hinving legal-tenders in thoir place, in order to keop up their reserves, have, it is &aid, sorted up somo five or six mitlions of thom with tho intention of presenting thom for ro- domption inlogal-tonders. 1t ig intimated that this now movement hus beon stimulated by tho agitation for froo bauking, and the hopo that Congress, eoging how cnsy it would Lo to_start redomptions in logal-tonders, and thus hold the increase of bank uotes in wholesomo check, would pass & law for freo banking, which would make n continuanco of tho redemptions nocessnry. In fact the expectation that Congress will pass n freo bauking law this gossion ix ovidontly gainiog ground. ‘I'lio mov ment in New York to sort up bank notes for ro- demption under the prosent disabilities, affords ground for tho presumption that 1t tho Banking and Cwrroney Committee’s 1'ree Bunkiug bill, ro- ported lnst Thuraday, should becoma o law, ity Picransod fucilitios for th redomption of No- tional Bank noteaab tho Sub-Lreasury in Now York (orat allthe Sub-Treasuries astho bilt ought to read) would make redemption opera- tive nt once, oven bofore thore hrd boon any considerable incrense of the bank nates in ci: culation. 'There can bo no doubt that if this should Dbo tho cmse it would b onco enuse an appreciation in the valuo of the wholo eurrency ; first, bocause there would bo an incronsed domund for groenbucks Irom the Danks to rodeem their notes, wherons now the only demand for grreonbacks is to lis inactive aud unused in tho resorves of tho banks, 'ho country banks now hiold only about 7 per cont of logal tender reservo against their cirenlation. “Thorotically, this is prosumod to ba enouglh to redeem nil the Nntional Bank notes that wonld bo presented. Lut, whonever the money mar- et was plethiorie, ns it is golting now, it would bo found that st least 7 or § per cont moro of greenbacks wero kept In transit to the pinces of redemption, Lhis would bo equivalent to a temporary contraction of £20,000,000 or 30,000,000 of "greonbacks, and wrould Lolp to overcomo the plethora of monoy, On the othier hand, whon trade wns active throughont tho country, and ntore curreucy wag uceessury, the redemptions of bank notes would ceuse, tho greeubacks, instead of beiug absorbed to the oxtent indicated m {ransit, would gro into genoral civeulution, aud tho cifect would be the snno a8 au incrouso of tho curroncy. As tho bank-note currency mereased under » freo banking law, the movement of baul: notes for redomption in logal-tenders would become largor cach year, Thus the ontire vol- umo of paper monoy would become “floxible,” At tho sumo time, the domaud for zroenbucks reeurring at ovory period of plothora n the monoy market, would make o permanent mereaso in theiv value, and, if the total amount of groeubacks was not incrensed, would grad- ually apprecinto thom Lo n point whore the banky would seo tho nocessity of prepaving for redemp- tions in specto instead of greenbacks. It is trua that this mero swapping of greenbroks for bank- notes conld novaer, of ilself, nppreciate tho cur- roney to par with gold, without oither a lnrgo contraction of tho vclumo of greonbacks, con- current with an incresso of bank-notes, or the uctunl redemption of the groenbacks in gold, but {ree banliug and the redemptions in gresn- backs which it would insugurate, wonld propare the way for oither tho funding of tho greenbacks or their redemption in coin. NEW PACIFIC STEAMSIIP LINES, Tho Pacifie Muil Stoumship Company having ceased their semi-monthly “servics from tho port of Sau Francisco to China and Jupan, the now luo of the Trany-Pacitic Company, owned iy Bogland, is to takoe ity place, and tho first slip, the Vasco Do Gama, is oxpectod to leave Bau Francigco within a fow days, Another now Tnglish line of Clyde-bnilt iron propallers, tho MeGregor, Tartnr, iogul, sud Cyphrenes, s also been put on the route between San Fran and Australia.

The spenkers wors gon- erally dissatintied with tho fact that they were obliged to buy and rell stoclk on tho Illinois side, Tho feed is drawn from IHinois, not from Mis- souri, aud the live stock used in St, Louis has to bo earried twico across the river, with scveral other griovances. T'he intoresting fact was stat~ ed that in 1865, the year in which our Union Stock-Yords was built, o similar mecting was Liold in St. Louig, and subseription books wern oponed. Tho result was that the maguificent sum of €5 was paid into the fund, This shows what St, Louis can do whon sho really triea, 'ho leading produco _markots wero quita ne- tive to-duy, und gonorally strong, the principal articlos of produce beltig in good demand. ‘T'ho roports from othor points wera slightly moro en- cournging to holders, buttho principul roason for tho utronf(ur feeling wes probably the fact that the people who sre aceustomed to operate found thut they hud moro money on hand, after soitlng tho Tebruary deals, than they expect- ed ; and so thoro was a wide-gpread desire to in- vest, The goneral firmness of our markets is o multer of surprise to somo wholsco tho stoady increaso in our stocks, but thoy ceom to forpot that theroe i mouey horo to curry the property, in full contidenco {hat it will all bo wanted whon tho opening of navigatiou peimits it to bomoved moro chenply thau now. A decline of Ge per 100 Iba in rail freights to tho senboard is nnnonnced, with an easior foel- g in ocean freights, This tended to an en- hancoment of prices hero by calling out u better shiipping domand. The dry goods market prosented no new fen- turog, Busincss was reported quite as good oy in former soavoun nt a corresponding poriod, and was fully up to goneral oxpectations.
