Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-07-03

The bankers of Milwaukee, following the ex
ample of those of Chicago, threw out the Wis
consin money last Monday, and this so exaspe-
rated the people of that city, that they, in the
shape of mob, destroyed the banking houses
and contents, producing immense excitement,
which had not diminished at the last advices.
The city military were called out and fired on the
mob. Some of the bankers and their clerks
were rather severely handled. We think it is n
great mistake to suppose that bankers or brokers
are the cause of such trouble as this in Milwau-
kee, the trouble is in the banking system which
the people of that State, through their Repre-
sentatives, adopted, and by which they, in turn,
have been heeced to the tune of fifty per cent of
their hard earnings. 1t would seem that the peo-
pie do not consider that money dealers are more
exposed in such a state of things, vastly more
than the people, and they have great trouble and
anxiety in saving themselves from heavy losses.
in cases like this currency trouble in Wisconsin,
when the entire basis upon which the fabric is
erected, is crumbling out with fearful rapidlty.
The demand for provisions has been extremely
light, and the market was decidedly heavier all
articles being obtianable upon easy terms. Mess
pork sold to the extent of 600 brs at Sl3 so, and
200 hhds of bacon in lots, rates kept private, but
understood to bea shade below y, 612 and Z &c,
as it has been offered to some extent at these
rates. without buyers. Bulk meat has not been
bought at 334@534, and lard is offered at So
Size, but there is no demand. 1t should be stated,
however, that notwithstanding this depression,
there is not much of any article offering, and as
regards mess pork the best brands are held at
Sl4. Those who are able to hold are disposed to
do so, rather than sell at the present prices, an
ticipatng improvement.
Flour has ruled dull, and the demand limited,
but towards the close, owing to light supply,

superiine being held all the week at 81 25@4 30.
Extra at 81 50@4 60, and family at S4 700

rapid and steady decline in New York the last
three days, were it not for the light supply, would
have had a marked influence upon this market;
it is, however, the influence is very light Yes

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 $685.
and good to prime coffee I4@I414c, and choice
1416c The receipts of coffee have been large,
and the stock in the Eastern markets very heavy,
which is owing to the fact that cargoes intended
for New Orleans, now come to New York and
Philadelphia.
Were it not for the expected duty under this
large stock, and certainty of its being greatly
increased the next sixty days, prices would largely
decine but as it u.s. holders have great confidence,
and are firm at full prices, prime Rio being worth
14c in New York and Luguara l41sc. Sugar is
going into consumption quite freely, but Molasses
is very dull and heavy. There is, in fact a large
increase in coffee-this season compared with
either of the previous seasons.
