& 6 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SUNDAY, AUGUST 24. {879---SIXTEEN PAGES © NANCE AND TRADE. Government Bonds and Foreign Exchange Dull. Chicago Financial Matters-~-The Pro- posed Mining Exchange--=Rail- road Stocks. The Produce Markets Active, and Generally Lower —Corn and Oats Weak—Wheat Closed Firm, Provisions Irregul'ar—Meats in Good De- tmand—Movement of Produce Dur- ing the Week. ; ‘The Government bond ‘market was very dull. Toquiry was limited, aud purchasers were main- ly investors of smail amounts. The price of 48 was lowered in Chicago to 100% bid and 10134 asked. In New York bonds were offered at 101g. The 6s of 1831 were down to 104 bid. It ia stated in New York that the extension of time for the payment of the sum due by the Syndicate to the Government was not asked for by the subscribing banks as a body, but by the First National, which, on a subscription of §128,000,000, still owes the Government 46,009,000. The New York Times gives the Tollowing table, which shows the condition of the subscribing banks in their relation to the Government in this matter: | , * 3 Balance due the eal t ry Subscribing banks, © Jan. 14, Aug, 16.

Continental Bank. 128,000.00) 46,000,009 All the New York banks but the Bank of Commerce and the First Nationai Bank, and ail the Boston banks, have paid what thev owe. The Zimes is informed by a banker that the ex- tension applies only to the First National Bank; bat whether it was grauted as 2 speciat favor on the part of Secretary. Sherman, or because the bank fonnd itself unable to. meet its engage- ments with the Govergment, is a secret known only to the contracting parties. All the sup- scribing banks in Boston have paid their sub- scriptions in full. The Treasury’ Department ereme disposed to require that the holders of eclied bonds shall present them more rapidly than they are now doimg. The cause of the reluctance un the part of the hold- ers of called bonds to present them_ ‘Just at this time is the general feeling thut the price of 4 per cent bonds has been forced ud toa point beyond their actual value, and. holders treiore defer. presenting weir called bonds until the 4 per cents shall decline to the price which prevailed prior to the recent negotiations of the Syndicate. A few days ago the 4 per cents bad declined to 3¢ per cent’ pre- mium, bat as soon as the extension of: time was granted the 4 per cents were forced up from 3¢ to 13s-pércent premmium. According to a semi- official statement from: Washington, there are at present ia the Treasury between $15,000,000 and $20,000,009 of 4 per cent bonds which the Syndicate has subscribed for, but not yet acta- aly taken ont, and uvon which interest has been collected. The average daily amount of called bouds presented for redemption thus far this month bas been about $1,000,000. If set- tlements on account of called bonds’ presented for redemption are made as rapidly vetween the present time and Oct. 1 as they have been dur, ing the vast three weeks of this month, the Syndicate will have no difficulty in fulfilling its contract. Otherwise there will be serious trou- ble. Foreign exchange was dull, with a light de- mand for bilis, and a small supply.. Posted rates for sterling were 4S2¢@iS41¢, Actual transactions in Chicago were at 4SLund 4831¢, and in New York were at 481@1813/, and 45334. Sterling grain’ pills. were 4731¢@478% and 481. French grain biils were 52334, and French bank- ers’ bills were 5936 and 5205. An additional $300,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of Engiand on Friday for shioment to this country. France has shipped $400,000 In. specie in the last four weeks, and a bigh French authority estimates the further remittances to be made by that country at $7,- 500,000.

A Chicaco Mining Exchange is under active cousideration by some persons here’ interested lo mining matters, The Chicago Afining Review Bax6: Among the gentlemen who bad been talked with concerning the establishment of the Boatd, and who yeented to regard the enterorise in its true Hight, were several prominent members of the Board of Trade. When all others made excuses or delayed ranking a final decision, these men, with keen busi- neas perceptions, saw at once the advantages of toe scheme, and promptly agreed to give it thelr hearty support. Daring the past week several sicetings have een beld-in private oficeson Wash- inston and LaSalle streets, and the situation fally aiecuaced. Several other gentlemen. eauaily prom- Inent, have joined in, and there’ i provubility chat the new Exchange will, at no dis- tani day, be organized onapermanent basis. Mr. James A. Hunt, Managing -Director of the Central Arizona Mining Company, at Sey- mour, Arizona, telegraphs to the office of. the Compary in Chicago that on Aug. 17 a ship- meutof bullionto the amount of $4,309 was. made by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express, and on Aug. 20 another of $2,400. .-The mill is running ullright.

The weakness in grain was chiefly due to the apprehension of larger receipts, with larger ar- tivals for the Cay. Thewearher was fine,—alike favorable to the growing corn and to the mar- keting of wheat and oats,—and a good many operators anticipated a more vigorous move- ment, while the situation was favorable to bigh- er freight rates all round. The markets weak- ened early under free offerings, and subsequent- ly the fear was justified by arise of 34c in lake freights, carriers being stiffened by the pros- pective change inrail rates with the opening of this week."
