M0NEY And C0!AME ERCE,
MONET AIRY.

h.~URDAY EVENING, Jan. IL,
Money is easier in the local market than it was
\ week ago, but not go much go as there WAS rca-
eon to expect would be the case by this time,
ulen considerable portion OF the January in
terest and dividends have got into circulation.
The most marked effect of these disbursements
thus far Is some increase In the amount Of
money offered for loan on real estate.
But III tho commercial money market, one Of
the circumstances that is helping not little to
make money easier in New York is having the
reverse effect here, viz: the unusual flow of
currency from the Vest to the East. Nearly
every bank in Chicago has been shipping cur
1ency to New York during the past week; sew
eral Of those that hare done SO have not shipped
dollar of currency to New York for several
years, and one or two old established banks
that never renitted dollar Of currency to New
York before. have sent large amounta there
within the last three days. This is the effect OF
the blockade IN the movement OF hogs. cattle,
aad products to tho Atlantic scaboaru. # tho
transportation facilities had been sufficient to
more the property that was offered during the
last ten days, money would be easy here now.
This condition OF affairs is, of course, only tenn
posary. The eastward railroads will probably be
able to furnish greater accommodation before
long, but, until they do. the ease in money that
was expected to take place in this month will
not be experienced. The deposits of country
banks rith their correspondents here arc IN
creasing little, but this is not tho case
with city accounts. Merchants report col
2ections in the country unsatisfactory, and,
instead Of making collections to meet all their
Eastern obligations, many OF them nre still bor-
rowers Of their bankers. The advent, Of milder
weather will, however, facilitate the movement
Of stock and products in the country, aud; if tho
railroads can carry the freight, the West will re-
alize on what it las 10 SELL and money will be-
come easy.
