MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. MONETARY. Battrdat Eveemxg. Dec. 9. There is almost nothing to note m connection 'Viih the money market except the ontinuanco of the plethora of loacvseckinginvestment. Capitalists,however, seem timid about letting money out in long in vestments. and the great bulk of the money is of fered for short loans on collaterals or investment in bonds of one kind or another that can be reuuj -7y turned into cash again. If the practice were thoroughly established of buying and selling real estate, mortgages in this market as is to; sou:to ex *'nt now in New York, it would furnish occupa tion for a larger amount of the funds Ph'4" 5 capitalists, and they would seek that of in vestments instead of government bonds, wnu.li pav less interest. «i. A 1 The banks of this city now hold in 1 gate probably $5,000,000 or sc.ooo.wp more deposits than they did before tlic fire. At the same time their loans have diminished so much that three <»r four of the lending banks have cash on hand sind available exchange to the full amount of their d Exchange continues in good demand, and sold in-tween luniks today atpar.

But the receipts were light {only 40 calf) and promise to be so in the future, while there is a good demand from the interior for null in'* purposes. A pood deal of the ■wheat that ordinarily Lava come to Chicago is now going to other points. This is especially true of Peoria, which is now milling large quantities of Hour, much of it from wheat drawn from the northwestern territory hitherto tributary to Chicago. The fear of scarcity made TbcSs short interest nervous early, and they quickly rushed up tho market in options, cash wheat following suit, though but little wanted.

Coin was 3-4 c higher, and in active demandat the advance, principally in a speculative way. New York was quoted firmer, and Our receipts were less, but the great reason of tho improved tone was the fact that tho supply of corn to this city promises to be much less this winter than was expected, as a great deal is now being used for hog feeding, and Central and Southern Illinois are now shipping liberally: to Cairo. The latter port will rather interfere with xoledo than Chi cago, but had its influence on prices, neverthe less.

So far as tbe better grades of stock, suck as usually llnd their way into the hands of Eastern buyers, were concerned, the course of the market throughout the past week was all that could reasonably bo desired. Eastern advices have been uniformly favorable, prices being reported liitiltei' nil nround, the advance varying from 1-la 3-Tc. This favorable stale of things, in connection with the light receipts and the unsually lino duality of the stock marketed, stimulated the de mand, and imparted a firm, healthy tone to the market for all grades that couldfibo handled, to advantage by shippers. In the market for common descriptions there is no change to note for the belter, the demand continuing light v and prices remaining weak and unsettled. Nor is there a prospect of any decided improvement un til there is a diminished supply of poultry and game, or so long ns it can be bought for little more than one-half the prices demanded by the retail butchers for “steak.” There has been a very liberal attendance of Eastern buyers, whoso daily wants proved suflioient to absorb all suitable offerings, and prices have ruled firm and uniform at 54.25 a 4.50 lor medium to fair steers averaging from 1,100 to 1,250 lbs, and at $4.73a3.50 for good to reallv choice droves averaging from 1,240 to 1,400 lbs. ‘Some extra droves fetched high prices, $5.75 aC.OO being realized in a few instances, while a fancy “bunch” found a buyer at $7.00. This drove embraced 12 bead and averaged 1,714 lbs. They were fed by Sam Johnston at Lincoln, 111., and were sold by George Bentley Co. to Nelson Morris. Desirable stock steers have been in light supply, and though not in active demand, have appreciated in value to the extent of fully l-Bc, there being buyers at $3 00a3.30 for thrifty young steers, averaging 900 lbs and upward- The poorer sorts remain nomi nally unchanged at 52.37 l-2a2.C2 1-2. Only a few Texas cattle have arrived, and only a few were wanted. Prices remain without decided change, ranging at $2.23a3.00 through droves and at $3.23 a 4 lor com mon to good Northern wintered. To-dav there was little doing. The supply was light, and consisted mainly of “odds and ends” left over from the preceding days of the week, for which buyers were few. The fresh receipts were readily disposed or at yesterday’s prices. Among the offerings was a drove of 20 Durham steers, averaging about 1,800 lbs, and 5 averaging 1,700 lbs. The latter were sold at SC.C3. Tho market closed steady CLOSING PRICES.

The receipts of the past week have been the largest of the season, reaching 136,379, against 102,083 las iweek, 104,411 -week before last, anti 71,500 for the corresponding week last year. With u single exception, the receipts during the week just closed were the largest ever known hero, but such has been the character of the demand that the supply at no time seemed oppressive, and the prices current at the close of last week have been thoroughly sustained throughout. Both packers and shippers have been actively engaged, the former being stimulated by the healthy condition of the market for the product, and the latter by the increased demand and the higher prices pre valent at the East. The extreme range of prices was &3.70a4.35 —the inside figure for a car load of skippers,” and the outside for a lot of >epouset hops. The great bulk of the hogs, however, changed hands within the range of $3.93a4 10. There is no deterioration in quality; on the qon trarv. the hogs marketed during tho past week have been better than during last week or the preceding one, the larger portion averaging from 2COtQ 3.70 lbs. _ To-day there was a reasonably active demand, and tlmmarket ruled comparatively steady. To ward the close the feeling seemed scarcely so firm thought the reported sales would not indi cate anv quotable decline. Tho pens were pretty well cleared at $3.90a3.95 for common, light, coarse,uneven,-andmixed lots; at $4.00a4 05 for medium, and at $4.i0a4.20 for good to choice, with a few extra at $4.25. Among the transac tions were the following: SllEEP—Therc are no new features to mention in connection with the markets for this class of stock. The acmand continues light, being almost wholly confined to meeting the current wants of the local trade, so that tho receipts, meagre as they have been, proved adequate, and prices were no more than sustained at $3.25a3.50 for common thin lots; at f3.75a4.00 for medium, and at $4.25a4.75 for pood to choice. A few extra sold at a shade higher i»rices. Tho market closed steady. Chicago Daily Market. S.vtl'lidat Evening, Dee. 9. BUTTER—A fairly active demand still exists far fair to choice grades of butter, and the ttrm iipsa that has characterized the market for some Smc tiast is still prevalent. The supply of choice iiualilics. though Überal for the season, barely keens pace with tho demand, and holders are en abled to realize promptly, and at very full prices. pooS°tub andflrkin, liaise; common grades, 5a 13 nAnr;lNG—The demand for burlaps and pan* iiksssps frc“i e “«fi?isslS»a of the VSlc£“ot «fe main very firm, awing to the bipli P a6.00 per brl—the outside quotation for choice sweet. EGGS—The demand was small, and sales dragged at 2fia27e for fresh, and at 20a220 for pickled, he supply continues liberal. FRUITS—DRIED—Under a more liberal sup ply there was a slight softening in the prices of dried apples, but, with this single exception, the markei'was characterized by decided firm ness. Tho stocks of both foreign and domestic fruits are generally light, and it seems prob able that tho present high prices will continue.
