Financial and Commercial summa-
ry for the past Week.
There has been no new feature developed
in the money market since our last. The
amount of acceptable paper offering contin-
ues quite light and such is in demand by
our banking houses at 1O(912 per cent. per
annum. There is, in fact, little or no legit-
innate demand for money from our mer-
chants, and hence the extreme light offer
ings of first class business paper.
The numerous State and United States
loans now advertised for offer the most ad-
mirable opportunities for safe and profitable
investment, by which capitalists will be
able to realize from Z to 9 per cent. per an
mum, free from taxation; and no doubt that
a large amount of the idle capital now in
the hands of the community will be invest
ed in this way, as the bonds of.any of the
free States, or of the United States, consti-
tute as good security as any extant. Of
this there is, we presume, no doubt. Ex-
change is a shade easier, with a moderate
demand, but our quotations are about the
same as those given in -onr last, with the
exception that Baltimore is nominal We
would state that the inside quotations re-
fer only to the Valley Bank, and we would
also say that about the middle of the week,
rates for all ruled a shade higher than our
quotations, the selling rate being and the
buying prem The rates at the close were
as follows:
Buying. Selling

The changes in uncurrent paper money
will be found in our bank note table. The
bankers of Milwaukee, following the ex-
ample of Chicago, threw out the Wisconsin
money last Monday, and this SO exasperat-
ed the people of that city that they, in the
shape of a mob, destroyed the banking
houses and otherwise producing immense
excitement, and it had not diminished at the
last advices. The city military were called
out and fired on the mob. Some of the
ban kers and their clerks were rather severe
" handled. We think it is great mistake
to suppose that bankers or rather brokers
are the cause of such trouble as this in Mill
waukee as the trouble is in the banking
system which the people of that State,
through their Representatives, adopted, and
by which they in turn have been heeced to
the tune of fifty per cent of their hard
earnings. It would seem that money deal
ers are more exposed in such state of
things, vastly more than the people, and
that they have great trouble and anxiety in
saving themselves from heavy losses, IN
cases like this currency trouble in Wiscon-
sin, when the entire basis upon which the
fabric is erected, is crumbling out with fear
full rapidity. g
The demand for provisions has been ex-
tremely light, and the market was decided
" heavier, all articles being obtainable on
easier terms Mess pork sold to the extent
of 600 bbls. at $13 SO, and 200 hhds. ba-
con in lots, rates kept private but under
stood to be a shade below Al, 81, and 71c,
as It had been offered to some extent at
these rates without buyers. Bulk meat has
not been inquired for, and prices ruled NOM
inai it can be bought at 34@54c, and
lard is offered at 8084c, but there is no de-
mand 1t should be stated, however, that
notwithstanding this depression, there is
not much of any article offering, and as re-
Cards mess pork, the best brands are held at
SD. Those who are able to hold are dis
posed to do so, rather than sell at the pres
ent prices, anticipating an improvement
Flour has ruled dull, and the demand limit
ed, but towards the close, owing to light
supply, there was more inquiry. Prices
have not changed, superine being held all
the week at 81 1904 80. Extra at 81 so
0y4 so, and family at 81 70(0E %, the
latter for extra white wheat. The rapid
and steady decline in New York the last
Mree days, were 1t not for the light supply,
would have had marked influence upon
this markets as it is. however, the influence
is very light. Yesterday 81 1904 Is were
offered for good country superfine, but it
was held at 81 % Low grade superine,
in part made of re-ground middlings has
been sold at 81 Is. The imports and ex-
ports show further reduction of stock.
Wheat is dull and declined to $4,000 for
prime red, and 81 05@l 08for prime white.
Choice Kentucky white would bring 81 10
m1I3. About 3, 600 bushels Illinois spring
sold within the week at SOC.
Corn has not changed, and has been in
fair demand ct 2sc. Oats have been in
large supply and declined to 23c in bulk,
closing dull at this rate last evening. Rye
declined to 45@46c. Prime fall barley is
offered at SOC, without buyers.
Whisky advanced to BE, but again fell
back to I23c, closing rather heavy. There
has been fair export demand. Cheese re-
tails at o065c. The demand is chiefly To-
cal. Butter in good supply aud dull at
S610e for prime to choice. The lower
grades are not saleable.
Cotton yarns, cordage, &C., have advanc-
ed to &c per h., with an improved demand.
Hay has declined to 81 per tun, the best
timothy selling at 500. Some new has ar
rived by wagon, but meets with limited
demand at $6@7 per tun. This article is
lower now than for a long series of years,
and little more than pays the expense Of
bringing it to market
There has been good business done in
sugar and coffee, and prices rule very firm
and shade higher fair to good fair sugar
selling at 6@63c, and good to prime coffee
I4(d1I44c, and choice 141c. The receipts of
coffee have been large, and the stock in the
Eastern markets very heavy, which is ow-
