p MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. I MONETARY, Thursday Evbkiko, Nov. 17. Money matters remain rather quiet in the local market. There has, however, been some increase ia the general volume of business sine a last week. The clearings this morning reached 91.300.000, which compares favorably with tin volume of business at thi« time last year. The banks are discounting sdtne small amounts of mercantile paper, bat the principal employment for their funds is in advances to pork packers and grain dealers. Exchange continues firm at from par to 50c per tl.ooo premium lor sales between banks. At the I. oimter bankers are takiug at 1-8 discount and -I M-lling at par to l-io premium. Tbi* Comptroller of the Carrcncv has directed the Bank Examiner to investigate* the character, «'f bills recfivs »le*’ of thr Chicago banks, with a I view what proportion will **e lost; the Examiner has consequently been calling upon tbe banks separately for that purpose during the last two days. We believe it is entirely too &oon. a yet for anyone to determine bow much ©aeh bank likely to lose on its loons made before the fire. JtThcre Is a large proportion of the paper falling within the next month or two, which the •.makers themselves cannot toll now whether they .twill be able to pay or not. In general terms ft —can only be said that the aggregate of the out standing loans of the banks are now 25 per cent less than thev were when the banks opened on the 17tb ol October. Of the paper that bus matured since that date, fully tlirec-fourths has been paid; of. the remaining fourth, alargo proportion has been renewed with new endorse ns anti the promise of payment at various periods, ranging from CO f days to six months. The amount or paper for i which the makers and endorsees innke no pro i vision whatever is very small, indeed; and, while I U i> true that some of the renewed paper may not be paid, it cannot be pronounced bad until I the fact is demonstrated by failure to pay ut the I i now period of maturity. 1 INSURANCE. Ibc total liabilities of the fifty, or more, sus- Ihxnded insurance companies are probably S4O, .000. or near that. This Is, of course, exclusive sSof losses sustained and being settled by com j-;\uies that have not suspended. The experience of Insurance men shows that the average of insur i mue policies does not exceed from $1,200 to $1,400 r uch. From this it appears that there are now be- tween 2o,ooo andSP.ouO persons In Chicago who are v ailing for a settlement with these suspended '4k after the reinsurance funds” of tl.; couipaoie*. to see how much of these shall rc xmin unclaimed by the holders of policies under wr.i-h no loss has been sustained, and secure the si] plication of all thus unclaimed to the liiulla ti-u of losm-s of the policy-holders. Theoretically, ail the above mentioned points are psirta of the duty of the Receiv er? hut the fact that very many of the mciver-appolnted thus far were officers of the defunct companies, has made the impres sion on the public mind that, in-dead of being I merely the acruts of the policy-holders, these re ceivers would si ill continue the same policy pursued by the companies before their i’-ine?s aas always been to browbeat and cross- qustion wery clu m int until he does not know i 7 whether h; Man ’8 on his header hi*heels. It i? appirent that, unless there is soum concert 33 action oi the part of the 20,000 or 30,000 policy ]i<>M«*rs in-he suspended companies, so that their interests nay be looked after by some committee m whom rley have there can never 5 a satisfictory settlemen7 of their claims. This «mun»ittcc miM, of course, be. not only men of known iitegrity, but business men who ;j c:*u talk understandiugly about stocks I of cds rs well as about legal points. Such a committee will have to devote their time to the l«i:-int-ss. ind no man who is worth having can at'nrd to take this responsibility without being 3 .lid liberally for it- The tii>t thing, therefore, t-rthepdicy-holderstodo, Is to appropriate a i li.nd, ir subscription or otherwise, to S l :iy somebody to take In hand the sacral investigation of the statements ru.'l atvoints of the suspended companies. Until h investigation is made on behalf of thepoliey h 'Mers, all offers of compromises made to them by persons representing suspended companies vliu h are not yet in the hands of Receivers ifdmuld be refused. There arc also a number of companies for which receivers have been appointed, but which rivi-ivmpiave as yet sent no one to Chicago to ad ju.-t hm>es. It is true, the law does not rcpiire t«s .-Ivors to send.adjuslers here for that purpose, I llt the tact that the minority of the Eastern i companies have done so. shows a lack of the de sire to settle on tae part of those receivers who have sent no one here yet to hear the claims of policy-holders. We print Imlow two letters which prove the übiagi; «hat there are always two versions to a etory. Without any further knowledge of the case related in the first letter than is given, wc hav.- only to say that the greatest dissatisfaction with the Insurance companies gencmllv, Is ex pressed by the claimants of small losses. They are ill-prepared to contend with th« Insurance men, And. in many instances, are entirely at their bieu-y. At the same time it must be said, in bo- half of tlie insurance adjusters, tlnit the numorous attempts a: fraud with which they are compelled t« deal. arc generally in claims forsmall amounts i*'of insumnceZ This fact has unquestionably led VP t'i-m to :u-t too much on the role that every ■|k claimant in that class is a would-be swindler: K* I*/ the Editor of The Chicago Tribune tin: Appreciating your readiness to aid, gty tiuuigh yuur columns, in defending the right, -.1. j:>'DUkting juhtire, and rebuking iniquity, we do- S’ A Kr»* to call attention to the swindle that is being prpetrated daily upon those who lost their :ure earthly possessions by our recent J niamitv. whoso only capital for beginning ■m in* battle of life anew is In the policies of Insur er? ;nc«- tluy hold against companies that are making ■X jnvat noise about “paying In full," “prompt pay f v in lit,” liberal adjustments,” Ac., as a means of fli« v. receipted in full, leaving S7OO rightfully orh'iiginglo Mrs to be used in paying the man who stole it from her, and proclaiming to the world the falsehood that they pay Ihrir tosses in full, besides leavinga nice salvage to the company of at least 15 per cent.

Other grades than No. 2 were in fair demand, but quieter, owing to the fact of light offerings.

The number of wells drilling is given at 461; the Courier gives the number at *7«, and the dally average produc tion at 16,741 barrels. The Council Bluffs Xottpareil says the crop for 1860, throughout the country was 3,000,000 hogs, in 1870 4,000,0tt0 of equal weight were marketed, and dealers after careful estimates, compute that the increase this year will bring it up to at least 5,000,000. In consequence, hogs now rate at $2.03 less on the hundred than they did last year, and a fujther decrease seems not improbable. This, however, depends upon the extent of the foreign demand.
