MONETARY, TUERDAY Fvrvixa, April 14, "Trananctions over the bauk-countors wero brisk to-day. e demnna for money was botter than yonterdny, This domand i attributed in diffor- ont quarters to difforont causes, ns Lho kind of husiness and the clnes of customers vary, Iow- ovor small tho olass may bo, thoro are somo mor- chants borrowing monoy to earry paper whish has boon oxtended, In othor casos, and thoso tho majority, tho domaud is legitimato, and fndieativo of n lhealthy notivity in currout trade. As an insienco of the Int- tor domand, a large nwumber of dry Agoods and other jobbers aro horrowing to digcount their own bills hold by Esstorn doalors of whom thoy Linvo mado theirspring purchnscs, Mot of theso Dbills run for four months, ab 6] porcent, By discounting their pnper in tins city at tho ciirront ratos, whioh would bo b tho Fato of aliout ¢ per coit for four niouths, and Poying thoir bifls, thoy save about 1}& por cont. Thia is an item in these close days, and the deals ers who pursuo thls practico gain the additionnl advautago of strongthened oredit. o rale, thio banks report that notes duo were nover pnlll more promptly than now, Ratea of discount romnin nominally at 10 por cont, but thoe will bo shnded _for good onstom- ors, A Inrgo loan was placed by ono of tho banks to-dny at 8 per cont, on four manthe’ time. Low- or rates aro reporled nmong tho brokers, In- quiry falls to verify thostatement that lonus hnd Doen made on real eatato ot 8 por cont. The Cloariug-Louss statameut to-doy wad sbout 3,000,000 Exchango was firmor to-day at par. Buyers woro nob numorons. ‘[here isn disposition In somo quartors to hold back till navigation opons 3lion Jargor amounits of cxelaugo Wil bo offorod for salo. 3 A numbor of country banks aro still incrons- ing thoir balances with theiragonta hare, but the 1ovemont of currenoy to tho country hns also fn- croased. Tha remittauces of owrrancy to tha conntry aro large onongh to indleato a considor- able movement of grain and eattle to this city, Tho financlal situation to-dny of Chicago, and the reglon for which it s the head and front, is undoubtedly good,—ns good a8 tho interferenco of & Congross, that.could cntitle itsolf to public rospeat only by adjourn- Ing indefinitoly, will pormit it to bo. Its curront ovaryday busiiicss was novor bottor, the scason being covsidorod. It ought, in complinnca with tho laws of our growth, to be botter thau it ever s bofore, and it would bo 8o were it not for {ho causes meutioned above, For everyday com- moreial and manufacturing necda money flows cesily, But capitalista largo and small aro grow- ing vory conservativo. 1t is in their conduct that tho rosults of tho action of Congrees may ‘bo moet plainly folt. Business must go on, and thorg is n prosperous basis for it in tho usunl movement of eocioty., DBut investmonts &ro not for this weok or thenext. Theymust bo good indefinitely. Investors distrust almost everything, for thoy do not kuow how values may ‘ba chnuged by law, TAXATION OF DANK SITARES Tho decision of the United Btates Supromo Court malang the sharos of National Banks tox- eblo at the piaco where the bank is loeatoed, without reforouco to tho place of the owner's domicil, is ® surprise. Tho bitherto ac- cepted rule has been that tho silus of shiares in an incorporated company, (or purpogos of taxation, is ot Ltho residence of ‘tho sharchold- ‘et like other persounal property. ho full toxt of tho docision hins not boen published yot, and it will bo nocessary to wait for it befora tho pub- lic can understand how far it will cover the caso now in controversy, involving the taxation of 2upital stock of railroads in Ilinoig. Tho two cases aro not oxactly parallol, but they have snough points m common to make the present dcci!fiau an object matter of considerablo inter- st to tho lawyers who are couducting the rail- . rond cnges, Comptroller Knox has written tho following lotter to Gen.Garfield, in auswer to hisrequest for information as to tho effect upon tho resorves of tha National Banks of tho Benato Curroncy bill, wliich was paseed to-dny by tho ouso of Ropro- sontatives, aud noeds only tho Jresi- dent's signaturo to becomo Inw. This measure bos boen generally undor- styod to bo ono of inflation. It increases the le- gal-tonder ciroulation by 241,000,000 At tho sumo time, as will bo seen trom Comptrolior Knox's caleulations, it increases the resorves which the National Banks must keep in_ their vaulls by about tho samo figure. This result is rccomplished by tho claugo which forbids any of tho banks to kecp moro than onc-fomith of thoir roserves [n tho sLope of balances with their redeeming agencies, Ihtherto tha conntry banks havo uGon pormitied to Leop G0 por cont, and tho vauks in_other redompeion citics than Now York 50 por cent, of .their reserves as balances with shoir redeeming agents, By reducing theso bal- ances in all cases Lo 25 per _cont, tho bill recalls with tho left haud (he udditional circulation it igsues with ths right bond, O¥¥1CE OF Tiik COMITROLLYR OF THE CURNENCY, WaBIINGTON, Dy C., April 11, 1874, Stg: In sccordanc with your verbal request, I In- elosd herowlth stztements whowing the amount of Iegat-tender reseryes huld by Natloal anks on Feb, 28, April 23, June 19, Ecpt, 12, uud Deo, 20, 1873, aud alko the amonut (o b heid under tho Sonuto bill, now pending 1 the Houso of Represcntatives, fnereasing tho Nutioun!
