Provislons fTigher—Whaat and Corn Strengthoned by the Storm--= Barley Weak, FINANCIAL. There was n break in Government houds. The fuancial disturbance at New Orleans, n place with which New York has close relations, rencted upon the money-market at the Intter place, ‘I'ho approaching bond scttlements have evidently a depressing Influence, notwithstamd- fng the soothlyg utterances of Sceretary Sher- man, Some of the Lanks have subscrihied for more 4-per-conts than they can scll. At the {imo of the heavy subscriptions for tho 4-per- cents it was known that the movement was Iargely speculative. The banks have used every cxpediont to scll the bonds they have sub- acribed for, 1In cascs, they have gone 80 far a8 to lend purchasers the money with which to buy. But they have wot been succcsstul. The foct that bonds have sold n the open market at Jower prices than those mado by the Government to the heaviest subscribers proves that the businces was overdone. Another cause of trouble §s that the money recelved from the sales by subscribers of d.per-cents, and uli- mately due the Government unless replaced by called bonds, has been Jent out by the deposit- ory banks. Whon the Government calls for n settlement theso loans must be ealled . But the real accret of the trouble npprehended ot New York {s that the banks havo taken more 4-per-cents than they can sell, The dificulty sbout which so much Is eald of getting called ‘Donds to make the scttlementswith is not really of much fmportance. At the present rango of prices, 1t would Do cheaper to pay outrlght for the 4-per-cents than pay for thewn with catled honds, the price of which Is always par and in. torest. The forelgn exchange mnrket was steady, with only moderate offerlngs of bills at Chicago. The importation of ealled bonds cannot contln- ue much longzr to be an element of mueh im- portance in the forelzn exchange market, and rates will soon fecl the effoct of this diminished demund for rewlttance. In Chleazo sterling graln bills were 4883¢ and French bills 5213 to 522, 'The actual Chlcaro rates for sterling were 486} and 4883, In New York the nctual rates were 45652450 und 45Y. The posted rotes for sterllnyg were 457 nnd 459%¢, French bankers’ bills were 5174¢ and 515, Tho suspenslon of the New Orleans banks, full detuils of whichwill be found In our news columus, had no effect on financlal circles in Caleago, vacept through the fudireet medim of its influencs upon prices on the Board of "Frade. I'he currency wovement was very lght, ono of the largest banks receiving no orders at all for currency shipment. The loan market remains dull. Rates wre 5 and 6 per cent on call, the former rate being exceptlonal, and 6 to 10 per cent on time. Dank clearings were §2,700,000. The Tnterest law now pending in the Ilinols Leuislaturs witl, In the opinion of somo of our lenaling hankers, overate to the serlous dlead- vantuze o the wenker cluss of horrowers, Rotes of interost, Jike rates of nsurance, vary, other things belng equal, with the risk. There 18 a.clusa of emal, business-men here whonow get accummaodatioy nt the banks at 10 per cent, If the bill fixing the rate of interest at 8 per eent becomes o law, the banks will discontinue their odvauces to theae borrowers, ‘The amount of husiuess done with them Is so small that it would not pay the bauks to break the Inw, and ees an example of bad cltlzenship to thelrown ulthnnte discomfliure, The 10pereent borrowers, turned awny from the banks, would have to o to thestreet-brokers, awd pay instend of 10 pur cent, not less than 12 0r 15 per cent. The usurer st churke extra for the risk he runs o vicluting tha law, ‘Iheso outslde money- lenders, buving usunlly the best of credit, cun get from the buuks nt the lowest prices, T@S per cent, the very money they lend the poor outstder at 12 to 15.
