MONEY AND COmMER
MONETARY.


SATURDAY EVENING, Dec. Il.
considerable increase in the stringency in
the local money market ia noticeable es COM
pared to this time last week. The main cause
Of this is the heavy pork-packing business now
being done, which may be estimated by the large
receipts OF hogs, which have been increasing for
some weeks up to yesterday. During the last
four weeks, the total receipts Of hogs in this
city have been 549, 900, excess Of say $50, 900
head over the receipts Of the sa1ne time last
year. The average price Of these has been pro-
badly s11 per head, at which they would come to
about 9G,000,000. During the same four weeks
the receipts OF cattle have been about
10000 head, which is say 5000 in e1-
cess Of the receipts for the same time
last year. The average price has probably not
been far from $40 per head, at which they would
come to 81, 600, 600. It appears, therefore, that
the banks Of the city have been called on to fnr-
nish nearly $4,000 900, to pay for hogs and cat
tie within the past four weeks, or nearly
81, 100000 more than they furnished during the
Same period OF last year. This vast outgo Of
funds has itself been sufficient to cause strin-
gency, though, as far az this is the cause, the
Htringency is 8 healthy one, and will be followed
by reflu1 Of the capital from the country in the
way Of increased collections Of merchants, which
for the immediate present are small and unEatis-
factory
The heavy shipments OF hogs, cattle, beef, and
po-k to the East are making large supply Of
New York bills, and this, together with the
payment for the hogs and cattle, has depressed
the price Of exchange to rs cents per 81 900 dis
count. At this price for exchange. bankers find
it convenient to fetch currency from New York,
which they are doing to SONG extent.

CATTLE-The changes in this market during
the week just closed have not been important.
In the character Of the demand, very little i'm
provement was noticeable, neither local nor out
side buyers taking hold with any show of inter-
est, and, while the supply WAS the ightest for
many weeks, it proved more than sufficient to
satisfy the requirements Of the trade. During
the first half Of the week, prices we're unsettled,
and in buyers favor, bu: later tho market frmed
up Gttle,-a result Of the meagre receipts.
The condition Of the market below has not
changed for tue better, which accounts for the
apathy Of ahippess; while the extreme dulness
OF the retail meat trade is the cause Of the ab-
sence OF anything like activity in the demand
from local butchers. Nor are stock steers in
more than fair request, nearly all the larger
feeders having supplied their wants earlier in
stock sseers ans ars fisiS GEO. hoTev a
this fact helps to sustain prices,
the market remaining comparatively STEADY at
S2.75@3.00 for common lots averaging from 700
to $50 lbs. and ct s.25@3.75 for medium to
primo droves, averaging from $50 to 1850 tbs.
than those Of last week, or the preceding one,
there being . very perceptible falling off in the
supply of poor cows and scrawny steers, and C.
corresponding increase in the offerings Of fair
to choice grades. Only . few Christmas beeves
arrived, and most Of them went through in first
hands, there being very little inquiry for such
here, and the prices offered were generally much
below the views Of holders. Texas and Chero-
kee cattle have comprised considerable portion
Of the weeks supply. For these the ruling rates
we're 52.25@2.75 for common to medium, and
S3o0@3. 80 for fair to good fat corn-fed. Veal
calves remain comparatively steady at $500
3.75 for thin coarse heavy, and at S4.5O@5:5o
for good to choice. Mich COWS haVe met with
some inquiry at $20.00@45.00 per head, accord
ing to quality.
To-day there VAS nothing doing. and prices
remain nominally the Same as on the previous
days Of the week..
