[ MONEY AND COMMERGE. FINANCIAL WEDNTDAY EvENING, Dee, 20 Moro than half s million dollnra in curroucy— probably not much loss than &700,000—was sont to tho countyy yosterdny, and the amount to-day was nbout ne larwo. This, of course, goes to the hog dietricts, and the rosults aresoen inthe heavy rocelpts st thoStock-Yards, whoro there wote 76,- 000 hogs this morning. This numberis lnrgorthan tho packing-housos can bandlo, Thero ls likoly, in consoquenco of the over-supply, to boa mo- mentary deereaso in tho orders for currency, and in tho shipments of hoga to this point. Tho receipts of ewrrenoy from tho country are inconsiderable, and como only from tho whent glatricts, Tho clenrings wore §5,400,000 ; thoir groat vol- ume boing duo partly to tho oporations at the Btovk-Yards, and to the sattlomenta in pork aud provisions. The sottlomonts in grain, a8 wo ox+ plained yeaterday, wero distributod through tho Intter dnavs of November. Now York exchango was dull, and the quota- tion unchanged a¢ 756 to $1.00 discount hobwoen banks for 81,000 Applicatious for lonns aro numorous enough to keep tho fuuds of tho lmnks in moderately nelive omployment. Outaldo borrowers find nccomiodations restrictod, tho bouks profernng to keop their ro- gources for tho uso of thelr rogular oustomors. Tho general wholosalo businoss of tho city is good, and tho rctail business gliows some im- provomont, Ratos of discount axe 10 per cout o year to.regular customors, with conceasions of 1 ot 2 per cent to indopondent borrowers ; streot rates aro 8@18 por cent ; yeal cstate luana aro O @10 per cout. Dividends to tho amount of £1,099,640, inctud- ing luteress on publio and corporato obligatious, Lave beeu announced for payment in Boston in Decombor, Tiis docs not iucluda the full figuras, as mavy of tho companies have uot yet doclared, but it i worth rewack that in most of thgso aunounced thero 182 deerense, and iv nons of them an increnso, Of thoso whicl hiavo declared. the Jnckson de- crcases from 7 to 6 por _cent, Nushiua 0 to 5, and Stark 6 to 6 por cont, 'The Lowell Machine-Shop pays 4 per cent, ngainst 8 in May lozt, but this is tho usual divielon of payments. Tho Boston di- vides 8 per cont, Hamilton 4, Lancaster 10, and Lawrence 8 jrer cent, as befora, 'The ,\pplcl:m passes for tho st time eineo December, 1851, lia Nocthern Ttutlrond decreases from 4 to 33§ per cont, after prying 8 per cent for tho past nine years. Consiaering tho depression that bas heon the foatura of nimost all manutactures during the yoar, it 18 fair to expeot that tho fucts above are Teprescutative. Such a reduction of viofits 18 tho natural effect of tho unheaithy stimulus given to manufactures and industry of all kinds by tho destruction of war, tho inilation of the currency, and the delueivo bounties of a piotect~ ivo tariff, "This doud-point. is tho best moment for roforay, aud for legislation to sot st aight our currency and tho tandl, Low iittle thero wus in the cry at tho last soewion of Congresa that tho Weet and South wanted more curtency is ehown by tho report of Compirotlor Knox.
