CHICAGO, December There has been an
active counter business at the banks most
OF the week, particularly the latter days,
owing to heavy settlements, which ran the
clcarings up to 81, 900 OOO for five days, and
will make them for the week upwards of
$50, 900, OO0. To-day's clearings were slS,-
10000.
The farmers are sending in large quanti-
ties Of hogs and cattle, and the drain from
the banks to the country is very large. The
general wholesale mercantile trade is
fairly active and the aggregate OF
business done will make n satisfactory
showing. The prospects Of mild winter
seem not to affect prices. which arc gen

everything else is at nearly top prices.

TRADE TOPICS.
REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS OF THE
PAST WEEK.
A Satisfactory Showing in ali Departments
Provisions Stronger and Prices Higher
The Iron Trade Still Booming-Gro-
ceries Firm-DY Goods Dull.
A FAIRLY PROSPEROUS SHOWING

The review of the business Of the cur
rent week, which We present below, is,
in most respects, satisfactory. The
grain trade of Chicago has fallen of
largely, the receipts being nearly mil
lion bushels less than last week, while
the shipments show corresponding de-
crease. AS lake navigation is practi-
cally closed, and grain will not bear
the present rate of freight charges, it is
likely that shipments will continue light
through the winter. In all other de-
partments-dry goods, clothing, boots
and shoes, groceries, provisionss, prices
are well maintained, and the volume
business fair. The iron trade, in all
branches, shows wonderful activity, and
the demand is largely beyond the ca
pacity of the mills and foundries.

COMING TO THE FRONT IN THE SPEAK
ERSHlP FIGHT.
Camefon's Combination to Defeat hiscoek-
Keifet the Coming han-What Does
the Bargain POrtend 2
GENERAL NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL,

Since the days of Henry Clay, who
was too proud of himself and his opin-
ions to listen to the advice of friends, 1t
has only been necessary To talk OF NOM
mating man for Office in order to make
him dumb as an oyster. The grotesque
solemnity and Owlish wisdom which
characterizes all the candidates. Tor
Speaker is but another evidence OF the
fact, that a preternatural silence ON
every que stiOn in which the public can
be possibly interested, Is deemed the
highest political wisdom. Of the 1our
prominent men vigorously pushing tor
the votes of one hundred and fOrty-siN
Republican members OF the House,
there is not one whose real opinions are
certainly known to his supporters. Mr.
Kasson il believed TO be ''unsound on
the tariff" but on this point there IS no
information. KeifPr's views are porta-
bic and elastic; he believes with the eau
Gus, and can wear any plume
in his cap that his party may
prescribe. As for Hiscock, he
was Liberal Republican; but suhse-
uuent To lST2."he has given no express
sion 10 views" of any sort likely to in-
pe,le grand rally of the party of princi-
pies. As for the other canuluateS, tney
are only dummies, and their views are
confined To a fat committee chairman
shin. There has been considerable
change in the status of the fight during
the past twenty-four hours: Senator
Cameron has returned from New York,
where he has been consulting with his
Stalwart friends, and the result is, that a
combination has been formed with kei-
| fer, of Ohio, by which the latter Il 10 re-
ceive the entire strength Of the StalWart
element of the party. What he gives
in return is still mystery; but aS Mr.;
/ Conkling and his friends once backed
| an Ohio man and failed to receive what
they deemed their just reward, it is sup
! posed that arrangements have been
/ made which will preclude any recur'
renee of such ingratitude. Ii they sue
cccd in electing keifer, the Democracy
/ should at least tender them a vote oI
thanks.
