MONEY AND COMMERCE. MUONETARY.. Satumpar Evesmva, May 16, Business st the banks to-day displayed o Baturday sctivity, which was, on the wholo, not quito equal to the ummal briskness of tho last doy of the week. The dimination of operations may fairly be ascribed in part to the bad weather of the Iast two days, though undernenth this tem- porary cause lie the more permancnt ones to which we have so often called attention. The demand for money waslight. Thonominal rate of discount is 10 per cent. Ono_ quotation caunot be given to cover the rate of discount in all the banks. We havo no Bank of England to establih the rate, and there is often on the same day a variance of 2 or 8 per cont iu the ratos at which first-class Joans are negotiated in dif- ferent quarters of the city. Banks with s largo lino of country deposits and a corresponding sur- plus are glad to Joan money at 8 per cont, Other banks never doviate from 10 per cant. Now York exchange between banks was firm to-day at 50 cents premium per $1,000. Foreign exchanga is roported by Bkow-Peter- son, Isberg & Co. as follows: London, 488%5 to 49134 ; Paris, 5183 to 510 ; Hamburg, 96 to 97; Berlin, 72 to 723 ; Belgium, 5155 to 5L ; Holland, 41 to 41%¢; Swoden, 28; Norway, 11134; Denmark, 56 ; Fiuland (Rusain), 205 f " Cable {ransfers are: London, 4023 ; Paris, 0 Ono of iho eigns of the times is the reiterated dotermination of numbers of National Banks to withdraw from National banking and go into busincsa under State laws. No less than five cases of this kind in tho_interior of this State 2nd Indiana were roported to-day.

Alr. H. C. Ranney to-dsy submitted the draft of a new ruls, which will be acted upon by the Board of Trade on Mondsy. It providos that's motion to alter, extend, or repes! the rules, or any part thereof, shall not be entertained unless vroposed by at least ten-members ; shall be posted for ten doys, thon discussed at the an- nual or o special meeting, and voted on by bal- Iot one week ofter such meoting. The mensure will pags only if mot less than 200 votes are cast, a majority of which will bo_in its favor. This resolution is just what is wanted, or at least very ncar tho requirements of the case, The old “Roman way of making or unmaking laws by o plobiscitum might have answered very well in the days of the ftomnna, but is_scarcely the thing for "our Board of Trade. At prosent the loudest throats goperally cerry the vote, and generally those shout tho most lustily who least understand the question. e remember aremark mado by & gentlemsn when ho wes President of the Board about ton yoars ago, that “tho could aliweys manage to have the crowd vote inthe wav he wanted them to vote by ths exer- cise of a littla ingenuity in putting ths question.” And thoro is no doubt that some of his succes- sors have not seidom led the Board to vote the otbior way, in consequence of mervousness or shoer ignoranca in stating the terms of the prop~ osition to be voted on. Ve gave a_pleasant intimation s day or two 8g0 to the effect that it might not be fudiciona torisk an exposure of the value of tha daily statistics of our Bonrd of Trade, by counting tho pork now in store in this city. ‘A correspondent 1akes umbrago at the insinuation that there can be_aaything wrongy about those figures. He evidontly is not aware of tho extont to which guesswork is applied eometimes in the railroad offices to fill out tho blanks farnisked by the Bourd of Trade, or of the masterly way in which those figures are handled after they Teach ths offico of the Socretary. If he uudorstood the subject as a ood many mombers of the Board of Trade do, ho would look like the ghost in Hamlet,—* more in'sorrow than in anger.” It i3 understood tha: the managorsof the Northwestern Railroad will not take to the Northwestern Elevator such Jlinnesota wheat as s received in this city per the Galena Branch. As a consequence, the owners of that wheatcan- not obtaun as much for it by some 2i¢e per buas is realized for the very eamo qualify of wheat sent in over the lnes which travel slittle farther northward. The reasou is not aparent. THE MARKETS. The lending prodacs markets wero lass active to-day, and rather wenl; some being decidedly dull, though withont any marked decline. The weather was *bad” in the ordivary sense of the term; but, as it is intended to make the *grain sprout in the ground” tbe feeling was rather ben The shipping move- ‘ment was eluggish, a3 it often is on Saturday, and 8 great many operators agreed that it was a very aull day all round, with litle dispositiou ta forco prices either war. The demand for dry goods was somewhat loss activo than on tho earlier days of the weelk, the disagrecabie weather of yestorday and to-day causing » lassened inquiry from local rotailers. The day’s vales made a very fair ghowing, bow- ever, and jobbors scomed 11 good humor. Prices wero stendy, a8 proviously quoted. In the grocery markict there was only a moderate move- ‘ment, and values were not subjected to any very prondunced change. Former quotations were well sustained, with the single cxception of coffees. There was_mo perceptible sbatement in the demand for dried fruits, and, under depleted stocks tho cours® of priccs con- tinues in an upward dircction. The changes noted to-dsy were a farther advance of 50 in Iayer ruisins, and }c in Valencins. Fish were quiet and casy all around, but woro with- ont actual decline. Nothinz new was_ reported in connection with the leather, bagging, coal, pig-iron, and tobacco markots. Nomo of those articles aro meeting with anything moro than a moderate demand, sod the %mmu prices are only indifferently sustained. Oils wero generally firm, under & good demand. Prints were active st £10.50@11.00 for strictly pure. Tumber at the yards was rather quiet, but held steadily at recent figures. The appor grades aro firm and coarse stuff sella at 212.00@13.00. Tha wholesale market was fairly supplied and attended chiefly by local buyers, to whom a number of cargoes wero sold. = Prices wero shaded, for 8omo cargoes of not vory desirable lumber. Metals, iron, aud nails wero in mode- rate demand, the condition of tho markets be- ing about the same as for the past few days. Building materials wero quict, butit is thonght that trade will start up as soon as new brick can_be obtsined in any covsidersble quantity. Tt is probable aleo that prices will ralo lower. Thero was a larze order demand for hay this morning, and the market was very firm for all grades at a further advance. The receipts aro still very small. Hides wero dull and several descriptions lower. Dealeragenerally are pratty well stocked np, and are disposed to hold off, or buy sparingly until matters Enst sssume o more definiié aspect. Wool and hops remain quict. Timothy sced wes in fair Tequest, and firm, while other descriptions were quiet, 2nd millet and Hungarian weak under large offerings. Potntoes wers lower, nnder the increased offerings, which for the pust two days bave caused bayers to stand aloof ea long as they could conveniently, and sellers found 1t neceseary to-day to accopt lower figures in order to save demurragze. Green {fruits were in fair demand, snd most varieties 1°* | were firm, especially oranges aud lomons, The Tecoipts of strawberries were light, but it is thought that they will bo moro iiberal during the coming week.

TIE PORR PROSPECT. @. H, Cuseard & Co. writo as folfows in regard to tho situation: Last year the pork was bought and held out of the market, consumers not being able to get and use any during April and Aay, ora 1088 of two months’ con- sumpiion, by reason of the exorbitant demands of “thoring.” As against this, cash pork has been eold ot a reasonable price to every one wishing to ship it, even in times ol the greatest “ bull ” excitement, The congequence i3, our rapid reduction of stocks and the prospect of it continuance, and if wa send pork out in the same ratio for the next three months ds the past three months, we will have uo pork here. There is virtually no pork except in New York and Chice Last year on this date New Orleans had 22,000 against 6,000 this year. This is probably the largest pork consuming ceutre, and it is estimated by one of the largest and moet influential houses there that New Orleans and tho Mississippi Valles ‘will require 75,000 brls of porkat least np to Nov. 1 for their supplier, Lesides thix, pork ia being used in di tricts which have heretofore bought ncne. The sum- ‘mer bogs coming in, although up tolast year in quan- tits, are for the most part mere_shoats, wefghing from 100 to 170 Ibs., and only fit for Eastern butchers’ mar- kets. Corn steadily bolda its own, Dotwithstanding the most discouraging foreign reports. The hortness of the crop becoming more and more evident, and with the mioet favorable weather, our recelpts have been for the paet.week but a fraction of former seasons at this time, St. Louis 18 now buing park Bere, both cash. and fatures, for the Jegitimate wants of her trade, The crevasse in the Mississippi made, and §s making, large drafts on the already emall stockof New Orleans, and we think wo bave reason to congratulate ourselves on Total foir weels, ...63553 Shipments were 8 foliony To Taledo, pe car.
