to 80 per day, board and lodging, there is 10
reason why The depot-house, that is not only
free Of rent, but has many other advantages,
should charge a higher rete. I'M pleased to be-
the good sense to make the change, and they
have assured me tlat thei7 business and profits
have materially improved.
We need more pleasure travel, moro lady pas
,sanSers; and this will only be accomplished
when those reforms have been assured. II the
landlord must have tho old war-prices. then ba
should be compelled TO take Of the farmer his
products at the old prices; then bushel
Of o. corn ~ would pay for meal Or
nve bushels Of corn to make the payment. Just
think Of it; d farmer swallowing the proceeds Of
five bushels Of corn at q meal, or 1--WE meals for
load. Can any sane man blame him Tor allow
ing his vito to sit out the long, weary hours in
the waiting-room, lunching On CRACKERS cnd
cheese, when bed and meal represents from
~ to 10 bushels OF corn? Nor ueod We ba sur
prised that, it Is Only On the most pressing oc-
casion that she leaye1 her comfortable hcme TO
to incur these discomforts Of travel
Thousands of persons would visit tho nre1t
cities, we're it not for this Same e.tortion. Tho
rich can afford to travel and stop at extensive
hotels; but this ia not tho case with the farm
an ordinary visit to the city, cost Tor hotel fare
sum almost equal to the railroad fare, and this
imposing item must be taken into the account,
The great number Of hotels building in tho new
Chicago may, in time, produce healthy COM
petition but, for the past ten years, there haa
been no increase in hotel-accomnoiation ade.
quite to the increased demand. the railroads
and business men are too largely interested in
this question to let it go by default.
It might be said tkat the farmer has no per-
ticular interest in all this, and that, Ike other
people. he must take his chances but such is
not the case, for the farmers have been taxed
largely, in almost all parts Of the West, to pay
interest on railroad bonds, and VIII be further
taxed to pny moro interest and more priuclpal !;
and he has right to demand Of the railroads
that, so far as possible, he eLau be protected
from extortion. and that tho conditions be favor
able to travel, for there is no class of men who
are more in need Of travel, in order to post them
in the ways and doings Of the world, than the
farmers. Few of us can visit the city at present
prices OF produce, aad, as have stated, not
so much On account Of railroad fare Us Of bad
fare and high prices charged By hcscl keepers.
There are few men who are qualified for hotel
keepers, simply On account Of the bad system
that now obtains; but the time must come when
We shall be able to get better accommodations
for less money. It is but few years since the
County Court regulated the rate Of hotel-charges,
and that must have grown out Of about the same
state OF things that now exists; and it is not
Improbable that We may not have to again appeal
to tie same power for protection. RURAL.

Review of the Money, Go1dz Bond.
Stock, and Produce Markets.

Review of the Money, Gold, Bond.
Stock, and Produce Markets.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YonR, Dec. 9.-Durlng the past week the
money market has had sudden and marked
change. During the early days, money WIS &C
cessib1e on call at the legal rate, but Inter it
become dcarer, and for some time ranged from
gold interest to 1882 per diem, and finally the OK
treme stringency set in, and call loans were
made at 4 to 5S per diem, or ok to 1868 per
cent per annum. These are the highest rates Of
interest current since the st1ingency carly in
October, when the Government sold $4,000, 900
Of gold and bought s5,000,000 Of bonds. Tho
month Of December has for many years past
brought financial disturbances, especially during
the closing days. Only small portion OF the
money sent West to move the grain crops has
yet returned, while the pork packers and cotton
factors ara still drawing currency from this
chiefly for an advance in the premium, and the
price has risen from 11253 to 113a9.
The stock market has been irregular during
the week, but has generally advanced, andcloses
strong and steady.
The bank statement is unfa7orable, and shows
that the banks have made net loss Of 81 ,28l,-
-675 in legal reserve The banks now hold
81, 1863, ,475 above the Is per cont required by
Law. The increase in loans represents the ln-
creased demand for money during the week,
and the decrease in legal-.cnders is the result
of the Treasury calling in money.
MONEY.
The money market to-day was active early in
the day at u per diena- Most OF the brokers
supplied themselves in the morning at hisrate;
in the afternoon the demand Was less active, and
the rates declined to 7 per cent gold. The dis
count market is very dull in consequence Of the
striugency for call loans. Rates somewhat nomi-
nal
GOLD AND EXCHANGE.
Foreign exchange was very dull the dearness
Of cash gold having effectually checked all bus
iness.. Gold Was weak in tho morning, and de-
c1ined to 1125G, but bccame strong and advanced
to 1875.
BONDS
Government bonds closed dull aud steady.
PRODCCE-
Flour closed dull, and rather weaker for low
and medium. Holders of wheat at the opening
were firm, owing to the limited stock, but the
unsatisfactory adyices from Liverpool checked
the export inquiry, and the market closes fiat
for spring, but firm for winter. Pork was more
active, and sales we're made OF 500 brls regular
at $500 for old mess, and s135o
for new. Jobbing lots sold at $l4:5 so
@15.00 for new. Cut meats are in some de-
mand, and decided change. Bacon weak,
with fair business,-long clear on the spot TO
7@c. Sales, Is boxes city long clear on spot at
TIC; 100 boxes long clear aud so bo1es short
clear for January, quoted ut 71lc. Lard easier.

Empty omnibuses, vacant dining md sleeping
rooms are OF little value; and the men who own
them had better have them filed II they wish to
make them available. If landlords who depend
on the farmers patronage wish to be made hap
py, they must reduce their charges, otherwise
fhey will continue sad, very sad.
Thoro is no doubt that al these railroad eat
ing-houses, and hotels generally, would largely
augment their profits if they would reduce their
charges one-thlrd to one-haf- Not one-fourth
of the people who travel take their meals at
these houses. The attempt ut monopoly at
these houses has been steru1y mot by the peo-
pie, and the result is, that they have been
Torsted, while tho traveller has: became dis
gusted with hotels, and only enters them as
stern necessity drives him to them; and it will
require some time to dispose OF the i'll feeling
that has been the consequence Of these at
tempted e1actions.
II landlords wish to banish the picnic baskets
from the trains, they must learn how to provide
good meals at . reasonable charge
One-half Of tho travel on the Eastern roads,
I am told, is what may be termed pleasure
travel; that is, people who have no ostensible
business, and visit their friends for pleasure;
while, on our Western roads, the larger part
may be called business travel. Many people
charge this difference to the higher rates of
fare, but think this is trno only in part, while
the most potent reason is found in the extortion
Of landlords.
In this connection, We may not hold the roads
blameiess, nor do VIC charge them with any sim
lister motive, but simply one Of oversight. Il
they would 80 draw their leases IS to insure good
meals at reasonable prices, the thing would soon
present more favorable condition. II the ten
