To the Editor Of The TrIuns-
Cu1cAGo, March S.-The t'scalpers" !" of Chi
cago were again arrested under the so-called
''Scalpers' law" yesterday afternoon, the rail-
road companies having broken out in q s*new
spot" as they do periodically on this subject
viz: traffic in railroad tickets. Now, il the
law, under cover OF which this hieh-handed out
rage is perperratcd, was constitutional aud
valid law, We would submit to its mandates
without murmur; but it is unjus. and uncon-
stitutiona, and we never will give up as long as
there is health In our bodies and dollars in our
pockets. There is q peculiar feature about
this peculiar law that tie public know
very little about: it is this: 1t demands that
the regular ticket-agents shall redeem any
tickets that arc offered for redemption at their
various offices at tariff rates. Now, this part Of
their own ouious law they refuse to comply
with, as it is as much against their interests as
for MS to sell tickets cheaper than they do
An old adagc says it is Door rule that won't
work both ways, and to verify the truth Of that
adage we have drawn out line Of policy that
will astonish, to say the least, the General
Passenger and Ticket Agents OF this city. 1t
is this. as we don't care to make secret OF it:
Tickets were offered at all the ticket-otIices for
redemption this moning, and. with one excep-
tion, the proposition was indignantly refused!
The exception noted did not want 10 lauguish
in Jail over Sunday,-for We intend to serve
warrants Tor their arrest to mau this after
noou. the warrants having already been sworn
out. Now, all we want in this little difficulty
is fair play and true showing. We have the
sympathy Of the public, they knowing full we'll
the character Of this persecution. Very respect
fully, MILFORD q MCKENZIE.

Western, which, under a strong purchasing
movement, advanced to 4SI against 451S res-

tuations, opening at 1059, declining to 104l%S,
selling up to 1o555, and closing at 104A- The
general list was comparatively Quiet, and
changes in prices were slight. In the early
dealings there was fractional advance which ia
afternoon was entirely lost, but towards the

There does not appear to be any panic among
buyers on account Of Secretary Sherman's init
nation that the price Of Der cents is to be
raised Quotations showed few changes. The
G. Of 1851 remained at 1861 the $40 OF 1867 at
102, the 5-2os Of 1868 at 1d2A; the 1o40s de-
c1ined e, to 1o1s<; the new 5s of 1851 were not
quoted; thea per cents continue at 100 to 1001<,
and the currency is at l20l. It is thought to
be Secretary Shcrman's intention to call all the
remaining $50 bonds in one call, II
MS recent circular threatening to raise
the price Of I per cents reyiyes tue
slackcniug demand for the latter. Danger Of
distress in the money market on account Of the
settlements OF April is believed to have been
removed By Secretary Shcrman's circular allow
ing the banks to make settlements in any called
bonds, and not IS heretofore in only maturcd
called bonds.
Gold is nominalIy quoted at $500 per S, 900
for large amounts, and l0314 for small lots, but
TIE quotation is nominal, rs there is no demand.
Chicago offerings of foreign exchange were
very light The Chicago quotation for sterling
.rain bills was advanced Il as was that for
sixty days. bankers bills. Sterling grain bills
we're 4s4, and French bills 52l14. The actual
Chicago rates for sterling werc 4S81 and 49,
1u~Sew York the actual rates were 4SGH and
1874. The postal rates for sterling were 4s7
ana 4o0 French bankers bills we're 516I and
57s2<.
Consols were 96 ZIG all day.
There has been moderate business in dis
counts. The demand for loans has been fair,
but not enough to keep discount lines up. The
tendency Of tic market has been towards the
accumulation OF 1oanablc surplus. Rates hare
BEEN 647 per cent on call, aud 1@10 per cent on
time. Currency receipts and shipments have
been light Country orders Tor New York cx~
change have increased, and the supply has been
well kept up By shipments. Clearinss have in-
dicatcd a steadily decreasing volume OF bust
ness. They are reported for the week as fol-
lows by Manager D. r Hale, Of the Chicago
Clearinghouse:
