The Chicago Press of October 5th SAYS Z:

The bankers are making advances on produce.
but the margin required to be put up by the shin
pers is large, and in this matter they are moving
with great caution. One of our bankers said to US
todsy that he had plenty Of currency to buy all the
produce that might offer; but of course, on the
terms above referred to.
Gold dear There are no fixed rates for ordinary
currency. Ten per cent. premium are the lowest
figures, and ut these rates it only be obtained
ia small quantities of some of the brokers. Most
of them refuse to sell at any price, and all the re-
gular banks do the same. Some of the brokers
charging as high as from fifteen to twenty per
cent.
Exchange for collections rules to-day at en- per
cent. premium. This rate is enormous it is true.
but outsiders cannot obtain it even at these enor
mons rates.

he would shoot any one that would approach
him. There were sixty or seventy persons
leaving the house WHEN Mr.. Kerr arrived,
whom he summoned to accompany him to

GoynRNMgNT LANDS IN IowA.-The
statement that million and a half of
acres of government land in Iowa has been
ordered into market by the President is a
mistake. No government lands can as
YET be entered in Iowa. The law requires
that all public lands shall first be offered at
public sale, in pursuance Of aproclamation
to that effect By the President, to be pub
lished three months, in advance of such
sale. The sale of the Iowa lands does not
therefore commence until Monday, the 4th
