The Produce Markets Modetately Active— Hogs Steady—Provisions, Wheat, and Rye Eirmer, Corn Weak for Shipment, bot Firm on Folures. Movement of Prodace Last Week FINANCIAL, ‘The decrease In clearings in Chicago and in other e’ucn in the conntry exeltes s good deal of atten- tion, Ono point fw thls conucctlon 18 important, and yet has been eénbtirely overlooked. This iz the decreasc In the npamber of binks, Dot a few yesrs sgo this city had twenty-orfs National BDanks,—it now has bat eleven. If the number of banks were reduced to one, there wonld then, of conrse, be no clearings, for tbe clearinge are exchange between banks. Any decrease In the number of banks operateston proportionste extent to reduce the cleartogs. Men whose checks were exchanged by the different bunke with which they kept thelr accornts find themaelves dealing with the same bank, and thoir checka will not go Into the clearin; Tn this w the clearingn may decresse heavlly while the busi- nesn done by the buslness-men remains tho same. 'To the extent that the clearings are redaced In this ‘way a decreano in tho clesringe does not inaicate & decrese in business. Taking into consideration the point made abave, and the allowance for the fall In prices, it becomes evident that, conteary to the general Jmoresaton, ‘business In Chicago was better last woek than for the correaponding week of fast year, Tho apparent docreane in cloanings was about 4 per cent; bnt the decline in prices will averago 10 per cent: and the numbor of bauks has goue down from fourteon to eleven. ‘The loan market was poorly supplied with pood paper during the week. Rates were 7@10 per cent. New York cxchanzo was rold between ‘banks at GOQ 75 cents per $1,000 nremninm, The clearinys of the Chicayo banke far the week are reported as follows by Managor D, IL Hale: Cieornan, Dalaces. 3,1 205,319 200,13 ZAw7in 218,310 232,208 o 4435 Total..... 230,403 §1,758,12¢ Cormemaids W AN ShELES DBANK CLEARINGS, e Pitlic, Tn the following ll\llh cxchanges aro eolnnlmd at San Francisco for two weeks endlog March and atall the other cities for two weeks lmlln)l March 16, 1878, with exchanges for the corre- ponding periods last year: 1878, 1877, ® TILTCLORR ¢ 820,410,047 fotitr R ey T8, 60 36,629,354 {017 Total 1 ma.ml.lm 81, 170,804,800 Outatde New York. 314,418 1330, 4191 The decline st New York, Vu\v Orleans, and Loalsvlile, isdae entirely to transactions b first week of March, for galn appeared f the ond week.

T., March 18.—This greatst of the Tertitories In ares, nearcst to Chicago of all, connected with 1t and other Iake ports by great linos of raflrond, deserves increased at- tention now,, because it s the solo remaining agricoltural Territory. It nlone contalns vast and cuntinuous bodies of the most fertlle lands open to settlement without money and without price. Tum TniBuNa haa contalned articlcs re- cently from Minnesota papors showiog tho Iarge amount of Government and rallroad Tands taken In that Stato by scttlers during the past year, sud that this movement now goes on with In- creasiug volume. This haa been due mainly to the proved superlor chargeter of the hsrd spring wheat there produced, and the wonderful adap- tation of the soll for great crops of fta That 1a the special feature, though much of thls great region will ere long Lecome as much cele- brated for stock-growiog and dairy products. 1t 18 specially gratifying to Dakota to know that Minnesota will soon be full, Iowa hasal- ready disposed of all Government lands, and only a small part of the rallrond lands remalna, Thelr western botundary I8 the eastern ono for Dakota, and tho charactor of the lands for this great staple, bard wheat, Improves steadily westward and northwestward, That s tho int to be romembered, It will be recognized Fon few years, when the wheat crop of Dukota will equal or nurrm.u that of Miunesota. Kan- sag, Nchraskn, and Texas cannot rafso it, nor can_they surpass us {n cattle-raising or dalry rrodum though they have vaster herds such as hey are. Favorable opinfon fur Minnesota or Iowa Is pratse for Dakota, Though Mlnuemt- has long bad a bigh reputation as a wheat-pi ducing reglon, it [s fair to call attentiov to nm fact that it now has at once & better and a dif- ferent reputation in that respoet. What lias produced this change and revivall It ls not that grasshoppers are gone, as it fa belleved, permanently, nor because of any great change or {mprovément in this crop in the older- scttled parts fo tho southeast qu-rtcr of the 8tate. Tho chango 1s due to the opening of new lands in tho western parts of tho State, near Dakota. That has given the increase and improved quality, Not a littlo of it is duo also to the Dakota product, which goea to sweil the volwnte. To Bouthenatern Dakota and the Val- e of the led River of the North 4 due much the present Intcrest. Dalrymple's greac mwu: farm was In Dakota, nmngh it goes to swell the fame of Minnesota, [lere in Bouthern Dakotn were g‘mdmcd several million bushels of wheat of the highest quality, Probably the fineat spring wheat cver ralsed on this continent was the crop of Houthern Dakota for 1877, It {s purchased almnat nntlrcly by millcrs in I1- lnols and clacwhere, fly a few cents above the highost murkotp e for tho sake of etting It. Hundreds of carloads go to Stere ing and other points in your State. 1t7stho celebrated Pifo wheat,—not only the best varle- t{ of spring wheat known when In {ts proper fmate, but it has hero found a new naotivity and character, and to-lay surpasses overy other varicty or grade known. That fs wbn ‘Wu mean when we say * Dakota No. 1 hard.” The raflroads havo reached or passed onr Fastern border. Tho Northern Paciflc has pena. trated to Bismarck, 200 milles Into Dakota. The 8t. Yaul & Pucillc touches our border at Breckinridge, Mian,, and beyoad therp Is ono of tlie finest reglons In the Wey The Hastings & Dakota Is pushiug westward, a wil very s00n enter Central Dakota, near the south cnd of Big 8tone Lake. Alreaay sottlement s antlcl- pating its completion, and tLere Is_open one of the most attractivo parts of the Terrtory, It is = pleturceque region, with lakes, timber, fins streams, sod rich lunds. The ucxl rallroad {8 the Winona & 8t.

A brauch {s now building from the Bt, Paul & Bloux City IRallroad at Worthington, Minu., westward to Sloux Falls, Dak., and this taps a region of unsurpasaed fertllity and great natural beauty, having now a population” of superior character, xod ouerlnfi many Indutcmenll Tho Big8iouxisabright and rapld stream of good size, which rises near Lake Kampeskaand fows south- ward in Dakota from ten tothisty iniles from its castern boundary to the uorthwest corner of Tows, fromn whicii point it formsthe Loundary be- tweon that Btate and Dakota down to tha Mis- sour} River, near SBloux City, In.
