Tho Chicago produce markets may DO do
scrlbod as having been activo today, whom the
peculiar situation is takon into acoount, but
very irregular. Tho scarcity Of money,
and the imposHibility Of making OK
change on Now York through our banks,
put "a general quietus on the shipping movo-
ment, and made cash produce very weak, "a
there wcro plenty Of mon who woro forced to
realize, or thought they wore forced to do it. and
few who had tho roady money to buy with. This
caused much wider difference than heretofore
between cash prices and options for future do

somewhat in sympathy; but holders OF the

country. Tue businoaB Of the day WAS, however,

The PROPOSAL telographed horo yesterday, that
tho Board Of Trade should indorse certain
financial policy, was not acted upon the gen.
eral sentiment OF tho Directors boing adverse
thereto, it was not submitted to the Board,
The receiving Of produce, lilo its shipment,
was practically suspended at an carly hour this
to pay for produce delivered, AZ they could not
check for it on tho banks unleaB they had sutli-
cient balances OH hand, without new loans.
This VIA generally accedod to, and no ono aeem-
which most Of them believed would endure but
for day or two. A great many margins
were called carly, but tho majority Of t6eao
wero not responded to-. aud even differences

age bestowed upon tho apple-women in the hnll,
and on vendors of Rome other refreshments out

OF most encouraging character, and confidence
revived under tho receipt of those which camo
in towards the close, but it did not increase the
stock of cash on hand Mt the moment.
It WINS early reported that the milwaukee,
Chamber Of Commerce Ind suspended operations
for to-day aud tomorrow, and fow OF those
who had property coming in here which thoy
could not pay for on tho instant, wanted to ad-
journ our Board Of Trade alBo. But the general
sentiment was adverse to tho measure. It was
argued that, II fow mon found themselves
uuublo to do bt,siueBs that was no reaaon why
everybody else should be prohibited from tral-
ing.
In the absonce Of ability to obtnin looms on
commercial paper, to raise money Oh sight
drafts, or sell New York exchange, there wna
practical deadlock placed on CASH trading and
shipment, and some receivers Of grain from the
country laid over tho drafts on them till buBi-
noss Ia moro settled. But everything indicated
that this condition Of affairs will soon bo over.

may be that much time behind in the recovery
Dry goods continue to noet with an active de-
mand, aud are steady and firm. Stocks arc
again reported active and tho market firm, no.
ticcably so for sugars and coifeos. There was no
change in prices further than an advance Of 70
in Old Government Java Coffee Tons aro also
to advance prices, particularly for JaDang,
which have recently advanced at tho East.
Butter and choeBo met with the usual dou,and,
prices ruling steady for all good and choice
grades. Hides wore less active and q decline
took place in greon and part-c,ired, owing, priu-
cipally, to tho liberal offerings. The market for
fish exhibited firm tone, especially for ali sal-
water descriptions. The deuland is active, while
tho supply IL barely, aud for some kinds not,
adequate. Hay coal, and leather were without
cha,ige Oils wore active and very firm, par
ticularly carbon, linAcod, and sperm. Tobacco,
wood, paints, and pig-ron were steady.
