MONETARY. ‘TrunenAv Evenma, Tab, 10, Tho nttempt of Sonatora Ferry, Morton, and Logan, yostorday, in tho Benate to dony that monoy ‘fs ‘abundant nowin tho ' Wost, bocause Impeounious individuale cannot borrow it with- oub .entiafactory socurity, will akleast show tho publio.what thoso clamorous inflationists monn whon thoy clnim that *there is not money enough.” Thoy mean that monoy should e so plonty that the ownors of it should lond it with- out soourity, In opposition to tho monoy artiola of Tur Omiorgo Trinunz, quoted by Senator Bohutz, yosterdny, Soaator Morton pro- ducod a lottor from a Missouri company of eome sort, which complains that, notwithstanding it has o capital of $200,000, it oan not borrow £5,000 at 10 por cont, -Bonator Morton must-cithor be ignoraut himsolf, or imagine that the Congrossmon who listoned to his argumonta are ignorant of tha ordinary rules of businosa ; othorwieo ho would sco that tho innbllity of tho Missourl Company to bLorrow -only shows tlint they liave no credit, and that their $200,000 of capital ia oithor fictitious, or Jockod up in somothing that is not erlablo in the markot, and, tltoreforo, is not good mecurity for the loan of money. Mr. Forry complainoed that it-was not fair -to judge of the gonoral business-interosts by the flusncinl reports of mnowspapers, and BAr. Morton anid that many of tho nows- paper arti cles (meaning undoubtedly the regular dafly financial reports) * were of a political naturo,” Tho “position” of Senators Ferry and Morton, thon, is that there can bo no honest statement of tho coudition of tho monoy markot oxcopt that made by thomsolves. This is, at lcaat, & vory weak position, and shows that thoy Judge ovory one olae by their own standard of in- tegrity. Messra, Forry, Morton, and Logan aro ovidently not'well onouch uqun'(ntud with busi- * noss affairs to Lknow that the monoy articlo and market repotts of a paper like Tur TRIBUNE aro rond daily by tho most intolligent part of tho business " community, by mon whoso trado oporations from - day to day aro to s great oxtent govornod by what thoy ro in theso reports. ‘Alessrs, Ferry, Morton and Logan will therofore sce that any inaceurasy or pervor- sion .in theso rn;l)nrtu would eall out prompt criticlsm and denial from much moro respoctablo authority on such'subjects than tho-three Son- atora havo ghown themaolves to be, Tho three Benntors have takon tho ridiculous position of donying & fact that is patont to everyono who doals in mouoy. Money-lenders are, a8 s rule, the lnst persons to acknowledgo that thoro is an sbundaut Bupply; on tho contrary, thoir tra- ditional polioy ia'to make the publio heliovo that monoy is gcaroe, in order to keop up the rates of intercat, But, in the prosont instance, tho evidences .of an unusually sbundant supply of monoy in tho Weat are too plain to admit of any denial by nioney-lenders,or even by Benators Forry and Miorton. * Thoro Lns nover boea a time whon the banks of this city recoived so many lettors from their country ‘bank correspondents offering money to bo loancd out on collateral security in thts clty. Only day boforo yesterday ono promi- nent Natioual Bank in this cit{ received by ovo mail no lese thon soven such offers from s many different country banks in ns many diffor- ont quarters of the country, Tho ecity banks, ‘howaver, havo not boen able to find such invest- monts for tho country banks, In faot many of the city banks hore wounld hinve boen glad to incréngo the lonus of their own funds at any time in the lest thirty days. Boing unablo. .to. ind, employment for their surplus funds through tho city banks, the country banka have, during the last month, resorted’to city stroot-brokers to make loans for them, a prac- tico which nover_obtained beforo in thin city, and, if Messrs, Forry, Morton and Logan arc still skoptical on this Bubject, we can cito thom o ono brokerago irm wlho have loaned money horae for over a dozon country bapks in the last month, & foature never before known in tho monoy market of thie city, Tho unusual supply of monoy in this market this winter hns, in " fact, been tlie onl, thing that made the gron‘ speculation in porl and provisions possible. Hadit not been 80, tho speculators never would hiave boen able to sccumulato and hold here tho $9,000,000 worth of those commoditics now in this market,—this boing just about doublo the usual quantity hold here at this senson of the year. Roferriug to tho sbundant supply of monoy in the country, Sonator Logan snys: ¢ Of course, thero is plenty of monoy to bo had on call at 8 ‘por cont. ‘© would inform tho Sonator, how- over, that monoy in not loaned in the country ‘‘oncall,” Dut, that thore is moro monoy of- fored in (he counlry wost of this city now for loan on mortgages of renl estate than can bo used, wo have the unwilling testimony of money-lenders from n dozen differ~ ont localitics fn tho country. Wa have reason to bolieve that tho eapiontSenator kuows mors about *'calls” at a cortain gamo of cards than ho du’R about “ufxll loans.” o cause of this abundance of money in the West is not, as Mr. Logan supposes, t{u oute pouring of tho $25,000,000 of the so-callod 841, 000,000 rosorve of greenbacks put out by tho Trensury, but the West is rich in money becauso it has sold immensa crops of pork and grain, The proceeds of theso ealea ara represonted by an_increase of deposits in tho country banks, nod, a8 tho country banks aro unable” to find satisfactory loans in” their own noighborhoods, and, o8 thoy do not deem it advisable to loan to partics liko Sonator Morton's Missouri company, whoso credit is 8o poor that they cannot give the lendor any asaurance that ho \vi{l gob his money back ot the timo promised, there js an accumu- lation of “losnablo funds,” or “bank credit,” which does not tind employment in tho country, and consoquently soeks it in tho oity, Mossrs, Ferry, Morton, and Logan will slso plenso noto the fact that this abundant supply of * money," or banlk erodit, is not contingent ur‘on the supply of greenbacks or bank-notes, which they scem to tmagine are tho solo ropresentatives of money. The largo supply of “lonnablo funds" now in the Wout is not made up.of greonbacks and Na- tional Bank notes, 18 tho threo Sonators supnoso, but ot least four-fiftha of it is cimply bank credit which can be turned into curroncy in the form of bank chocka at any instant by the owan- erd of the funds. As for the prosent supply of curreuoy in the West, tho upward tendsucy of tho prico of New York exchango at the prosont timo shows that there is more curroncy hore than I8 needed, and it is altogether probable that within tho next threo woeks this will compol a flow of currone from the West to New York Qity. W{thill & month thero will _probably "bo such & glut of currency In Now York City that the arguments of Mewars, Forry, Morton, and Logan for mora currenoy to make an increaso of money in tho markets will appear even more ridiculous than thoy do now, . _Tho thoory that an increase of Govornmont indobtedness In the form of greenbacks is-an 1n- croayo of money is an abaurd, but also a danger- ous, delusion, "Money is not almply s promise to pay value, bub it is valuo itself. Currency is of threo kinda: Firaf, tliat in which the value is intrinsic, an in coin; sccond, that which repre- souts the control of cortain marketable commod- itios—whont, corn, pork, ote,—which form the basie of crodit, aud ‘which oredit i turnod into currency in the form of bank checks ; third, bauk notos or Trorsury uotes, which aro prom- ises to pay, but do not represent the control of sny specific and particular cofus or commodities, * but are baged on tho gonoral credit of the issnors of the notes, In thocsso of the prowmissory notes of the Government, called greenbacks, thoy are based on sothing 'but the rovonuo, and tho revenuois the taxes raised from the peoplo. Tho greenbncks aro, thercforo, nothing buta promiro of the Govornment that the people shiall !‘m’_‘o themselvos #0 many dollars, “Their issuc 8 gimply anincroass of debt without any in- creago of valuo upon which to base the prom- ises, Tho lucreaso of greonbacks, thorofore, doos not, like the increase of coin, nor oven liko tho Incronso of bank cheoks, ropresent any fu- oroase of value or money, Tiis only o watering of the Government eredil, Dolitical domugogucs like Mossra, Forry, Marton, and Logan nre, to a great extont, xo- sponsible for tho fluctuations to which the mouey markots of (his country are subjoct, ‘I'hey hiavo blathored so much about the import. uuco of the supply of paper curronoy in the form of greeubacks, that the public mind hag become too intontly concentrated upon that ono form of currency, and this crented difticultios which have an imaginary foundation, but which produce tangible results, The alternating’ case or stringenoy of tho money market are ton proat oxtont caused by apprehonsions of what may happen.

Thero wns moro activ- ty in coffoos, and the downward courso in prices seems to bo chocked, Bugars wera also hold with more confldenco. Birups and molasses wore moving freoly at stcady rates. The butter aud choess markets woro without change in any important particular, former quotations being fully sustained, Canned gooda sold to a liberal nggrogato, and for fruits and borries the genoral tondonoy of prices was to advance, Corn, to- matoes, and oysters wore t“mmd onsy, Fruits wore in good requost at unchianged prices, 'Iho fish trade wns active, and somo descriptious woro firmor, though aside from whitofish, Which advanced 20¢ por brl, there were no quotablo changes. Thero was 6 good demand for oils at flrm rates, Coal, pig-iron, paints, tobacco, and leathor were unchangod, The domand for lumbor continues notive for tho soason, and the market rulos firm, especinlly for common grades. Shingles in cars are also firm, under an activoe inrhuhy. Motala and nails wora in request andstenady, the latter being firm, A fair tradoe in iron was roportod at previous rates, slthough for large lois pricos woro shadod, TFurs wero enlable to donlors at un- changed pricos.

Tho rccoipts of hides continue small, and in consequoncs prices were o triflo stronger, though tho Lisatorn markets ars still dopressad, owing to thie heavy oxports to this country from South Amorica, and doalors here are generally oporating with coution. Greon fruits “wero in fair requost at unchanged prices, apples excopt- ed, they beiug easior, owing to lnrger receipts. Secds woro again in good domand, especinily tim- othy, which was o trifloe highor. Totatoes wero golling readily on arrival at yestorday's prices. The- poultry market was again dull, and prices favored buyors. Highwinos were quict at tho decltne noted yos- torday, eales being made of 150 bris ab 05c per gallon, New York way quoted 1o lower, at §1.003¢, and Cinclunati was also woak, but it 18 ‘probable that our market declined yesterday rom the same causes that operatod elsowhere to-dny. Our market closed nominally steady at 95¢.

Provisions were dull and rathor wenk, Ordors woro fow, 8o that tho trade was left almost en- tirely in the hands of {hospeculators, and, as tho sollers gonorally wanted highor fizures than tho buyors wero willing to pay, trade lagged, and tho trananctions, in the lggrefimtu, wore smallor than on any day for some Wocks past. Ments wore weaker than pork and lard, wheroas thoy Lizve formerly been held with mora confidonce. But it is Anid that the mild wintor has been datri- montal to curing, and that thoroe is more or less atuff that noods special care to insurq sweotnoss, and ths fact made buyers cautious,” Moreover, specinl weights wero cuorally sought, go that tnere was really littla inquiry for “regular” lots, and, though holdors offerod thelrproporty at formerineide prices, buyers hold aloof, and could not be induced to take hold be« youd n limited amount. Pork and lard, at the present, aro almost ontirely neglected by ship- pors, owing lurgduly to the absence of orders at lie prices nsked, and the mpceulators ave bat- tling for supremnoy.
