might find out.
The bills were taken tip seriatim, and the items
read by the Clerk.
Commissioner Stearns said he would not vote
for the bill of J. J. Spaulding for $661.43. It was
no per cent too high.
Commissioner Ashton thought the board would
have to pay the bills, and content themselves
with preventing them in future.
Commissioner Hitchcock did not sec why the

.should bind the board to pay for them.
Commissioner Ashton [inquired who had certi
fied for the bills.

where there ought to have been but one, who
■■came down at 10 o’clock in the morning and took
their seats, sitting down, with their feet on the
tables, smoking their cigars at the county’s ex
-I’tnse.
Commissioner Hitchcock moved that the report
be recommitted to the committee, with instruc
tions to inquire how many Bailiffs are needed,
nnd what would be a reasonable compensation.
Commissioner Harrison thought that if these
men were employed by properly authorized
X'artics. they could not refuse to pay them legally.
The Chair was Informed that their compensa
tion was fixed at $4 a day by the Board of SUUfcr
-visors.
Commissioner Pahiman said it was fixed by the
Legislature.
Commissioner Ashton contended that that law
-.no longer existed, having been abrogated by Uiq

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
MONETARY.
Tdesdat. Evening, Dec. 12.
In his annual report, the Secretary of the Treas
ury cans attention to the fact that the apprecia
tion in the value of the paperjmoncy of
emment since ISC9 has been ■due entirely to the
increased demand for it arising from its in
creased demand in the South and in the Western
Territories. This is undoubtedly true, but it
contains another truth which Mr. Boutwell
seems never to have been able to understand
viz., that whatever appreciates or depreciates
the value of the “paper money” of the govern
ment, appreciates or depreciates the interest
bearing debt of the government in exactly the
same ratio. The business interests of this coun
try have been oppressed with excessive taxation
during three years in order to furnish a surplus
revenue to the extent of over $200,000,000 with
which to buy up and pay off that much of the
public debt, uuderthe plea that by so doing the
creditor the government would be so much ap
preciaud tlfat the six per cent debt could be
funded at a Jowerratc of interest, This has been
the great argument adduced on every occasion
by the Secretary, and the supporters of the taxa
tion policy, viz.: that it would appreciate the
government credit, and enable the Secretary to
lund the debt at a lower rate of interest. Now
whatever has been the cause
of the appreciation of the currency
since 1869, it l-s apparent that it has affected the
interest-bearing debt in exactly the same ratio.
The average value, in gold, of the bonds pur
chased by the Treasury in 1869 was BC.IO on tne
dollar. During the same year the average price
oi gold was 1:12.50, at which price greenbacks
were worth 75 1-2 in gold, showing the difference
between the interest-nearing obligations and the
non-intcresl-bcaring obligations of the govern
ment to be 101-2 cents in gold. The present av
erage gold value of 5-208 is about 1011-4, and tho
present average gold value of greenbacks is 90.90,
showing tho qiflerence between the two to be
10 1-3 cents in gold. It is plain, therefore,
that the bonds and the paper money* have been
operated upon by the same cause. Secretary
Boutwell aomits that the appreciation of the
paper currency has been due wholly to the in
creased demaudforit in tho business of the coun
try.” This, then, is tho cauioofthe advance in
the value of bonds since 1809. The increased de
mand for currency has done all that has been
done toward the mueh-vauuted appreciation of
the government credit,” The $200,000,000 which
tho people have paid during three years past
for the purchase of bonds has affected noth
ing in that way. One-third of that sum
paid toward the redemption and retirement of
greenbacks would have brought ths entire paper
currency to a j*ar with gold, and would have
plated tho 5-20 bonds of tho United States so far
above par in gold that they would not pay more
than e per cent, on the investment in them, and
would have made it possible to put out new bonds
on longtime at about 41-2 per cent. This is the
great financial error of the administration, that
it has heretofore favored the maintenance of
heavy taxes for a purpose which it now iuadver
tcntlv admits can never be accomplished on tho
method it proposed. The way to fund
the c per cent debt, is to ap
ply the surplus funds of tho Treasury
to the appreciation of the paper money” of the
government to par with specie. The effect of
that would be to appreciate the market value of
the 5-20s so much that new 5 per cent, or even 4 1-2
per cent bonds, could be negotiated at par in
f act. There would be no necessity, then, to give
‘any Syndicate a bonus of 21-2 per cent In the
tvay of a duplication of interest for sis mouths,
as ‘Mr. Boutwell has done, to accomplish tho
negotiation of the $200,000,000 of new 5 percents
nominally at par.
—The San Francisco Bulletin of the 23th ult.,
comments at some length upon the condition of
California insurance companies involved in the
lire in this city, and says;
Complaint is made that someof tho Insurance com
panics involved in tho Chicago lire, are compounding
with their policv-holders. These complaints, we re
gret to say, are well-founded. But the companies most
iscvcrely criticised for tliis course aro not tho only
ones pursuing the same policy. Wo are Informed that
there are companies all through tho United States who
are offering to compromise their losses by paying 10.
10, 30, 40 and 50 per cent, and yet presume to contijmo
business the same as before. It is unnecessary to sav
that such a course does not meet the approval Of poll,
cy-hulders. and we should not be n »hev
sued, in a body, for their loss,
$1,997.40
Tho intimation ma<lo by thq bulletin, that any
other companies in the United States, than
those of California, are offering to compound
■with tlleir policy-holders, and at the same time
presuming to continue business, is a mistake.
There are some New Y'ork and Connecticut com
panies which have given up their entire assets,
which will pay only 25 to 30 cents on the dollar,
and yet will reorganize, and subscribe a new
capital to go on and do business under the old
charters, these charters being all that was left of
tho former companies* assets and franchises.
£til there is fib imports difference between the
case of these companies fiflu those of California,
The stock of these Eastern companies was
ail naid up. and tho stockholders were not
hound in law or uonor co pay another
cent. There was no individual-liability clause in
tiie insurance laws of New York or Connecticut,
and the companies of thase States liad never ad
vertised as the California companies did, that
their stock holders were liable and would not only
pay the unpaid stock, but double the amount of
their subscribed stock of necessary. The case of
theEC Eastern companies was different also from
that of the Republic of this city, which built up
its business in the same way that the California
companies did, viz., by advertising that its
stockholders would pay the remaining bo per cent
of their unpaid stock to the amount of $1,000,000
if necessary to pay losses. Whatever censure
the Eastern insurance companies may .have
merited—and we are inclined to believe they
have received much which they never merited at
all—it can not be charged to them, that they
ever represented to policy-holders that they were
liable for any more than the amount of stock
j'.aid in. It is the repudiation of these obligations
that places the companies in a dishonorable
light. The Republic stockholders, however, show
symptoms of paying up, and we hope, with the
Jlidlcfiu that the California companies will final
ly conclude to do the same. l\e clip from the
Jiullctin the following statement of the assess
ments levied by the Directors of the various com
panies on their stockholders, and the time when,
under the law, the stockholders will be delin
quent:
Company. Penhnrc. Amount. Delinquent
Fireman's Fund...TO per cent—£so,ooo..November 30
Occidental TO per cent— 103.000..December 4
Pacific 73percent.... 750,000..December 1
Union.? 45per cent.... 337,300..November*!?
The above assessments aggregate $1,502,500. If
not paid bv the 16th of December, tbe stock will
be sold by public auction. This rule applies to
all the companies, except the Occidental, which
allows delinquents until the 21st of December be
fore selling them out. Tho names of the stock
holders delinquent of the payment of their stock
are published before the stock is sold. The Bul
letin Buys: The stockholders of tho Union In
surance Company have been very prompt in the
payment of the assessments. There are 7,500
shares, and the aggregate amount of the assess
ment is $337,500. The delinquent list shows only
1,480 shares unpaid, amounting to $66,000.
The stockholders of the Pacific and Occidental
arc represented as embracing many of tho load
ing men of San Francisco, and it seems probable
they will in the aggregate do as well as the stock
holders of the Union.
The upward tendency of the rate of money In
New York shows that capital is being withdrawn,
either from natural orartiliclal causes. Last week
there was something of a drain in cur
rency to the South, hut as it
was not large, and as thoro has been
more coming to the West, it seems probable that
the tendency of tho money market toward strin
gency is due almost entirely to tho locking up of
greenbacks by a clique, whose object is to depress
railway stocks preparatory to a rise in tho hitter
partot January. It is believed that after the
interest and dividend payments next month, the
extreme abundance of money will cause a rise In
stocks, though temporarily they may go lower
than at present. An the Western roads, especial
ly, have been doing .well during the
past month. The October receipts of
the principal roads terminating
in Chicago were diminished about 20 to 23 per
cent below the average by the fire in this city,
but since that time, they have been increased
greatly above the average by tho transportation
of building materials and other causes.
The slight increase in tho demand for money
in the local market, noticed yesterday, continues,
though the bunks aro still unable to use tbeir sur
plus funds, and would be glad to increase their
discount lines very largely.

n i a 1 K shipments hare fallen off to
a very low point, and our stocks are increasing at
tne rate of nearly three-quarters of a million bu

see our elevators, like the cup of Erin’s misery,

winter season to take care of itself. It is prob
able, however, that grain shipments will be more
active before long. A great many grain orders
are now here, and remain unfilled simply because
of the limited features for shipment.

F„ Pasdeloup.
Provisions were very active, the aggregate of
trading being much tho largest of the season,
thus far. Prices were variable. Last evening
the market was excited and higher. This morn
ing the receipts of hogs for the day were esti
tiiuatcd at 27,000 to 30,000, and the market for
produce weakened. Soon, however, a big de
mand set in, and prices at once rose to 6c per brl
on pork higher than last evening. The demand
was principally for pork, and was especially
strong on options for delivery after New Year's
Day, a great many orders being in from the
country, tho impression evidently being general
that pork has probably seen the lowest point for
some time to come. Of course, all depends upon
the way in which hogs come in. If tho receipts
arc voluminous as In the past, the effect can
s car ttly be other than a diminution in prices.
But many operators think the supply will slack

Flour was less .active, but firm at former
quotations. The shipping demand on Southern
account, was checked by the scarcity of offer
ings, the stocks of low grades being very light.

on track, and 10 tons at $16.50 delivered.
Wheat was quiet and tamo at an average de
cline of l-4e, the market ruling fully l-2c lower
than yesterday during the greater part of tho
session. Liverpool was rumored to be lower, and
New York was quoted inactive, while tho local
receipts were comparatively largo (106 cars). All
these things made holders weak and buyers few,
but tbe market ruled quite steady after the early
decline had been established; holders are gener
ally strongh enough to sustain an adverse condi
tion without forcing their property ca. the mar
ket. Tho demand was principally
speculative and for next month.
The inquiry for cash Lojs was
very limited, and chiefly confined to No. 2

Corn was active, at an average decline of 34c
on cash lots, owing to larger receipts, which
made that part of the market quite heavy, while
options for future delivery were relatively firm
at l-2c decline, though Liverpool and New York
were both reported dull. Early sales of No. 2
were made at 42c, but tho market soon declined
to 41 l-2c, and closed at 41 l-2a41 5-Bc. Seller Jan

The New York Froducc Exchange Circular has
the following:
The visible supply of grain, inclndingtbe stocks

placed at 1,118,203bu wheat; 1,033,212 bu corn;
623,075 bu oats; and 499,054 bu barley. The estl
suted amount frozen in the canals and river may

Another estimate of the stock of wheat in Mar
seilles makes the amount 878,338 quintals, equal
to 390,372 qrs. or 3,172,970 bu, antt the net imports
to November 15, which have been taken into con
sumption, arc, less the exports, 1,067,790 qrs, or
8,542,365 bu.
Tho flour trade in London continues good, im
ports small, stocks moderate, and each time
when some improvement has recently taken
place in wheat, the price of flour lias been found
more immediately and fully to participate in it,
than is the case in ordinary times. This is ono of
tho very solid features “in tho present position
of tho flour trade.”
There were on the 24th Nov. 1871, in transit for
the United Kingdom 392 cargoes of wheat and 69
cargoes of corn, against 480 cargoes of wheat and

Weekly Review' of the Chicago Daily
Market,
TUESDAY EVEEIONG, DCC. 12.
BUTTER—There Is little change In the condi
tion of tho butter market, as compared with last
week, and none deserving special mention. Tho
demand for good to choice grades continues
steadily fair, and with no increase in tl*o supply,
prices remain firm as previously quoted. The
movement in low grades is still slack, and tho
easy feeling that for some time past has prevailed
for such is still a feature ot tho market. Wo quote:
Choice dairy, 23c25c; fair to good tub and firkin.
14al8c; common grades, 9al3c.
BAGGING—AII cotton goods remain very firm,
although tho market at present is inactive. Bur
laps and gunnies are meeting with a fairly active
demand at full former rates. Wool sacks are
dull. Wo quote; Stark, 3Cc; Lewiston,
34c; Philadelphia, 35c; American, 31 l-2o; Min
nesota, 30c; burlaps, bags, 211-2a22c; gunnies, 17
a2Bc; .wool sacks, C7c.
BUILDING MATE RIALS —A s compared with
last week, increased activity is noted in the de
mand for building materials, and prices are again
very firm for everything in tho list. The supjdy
of Umo is still short, but otherwise the stocks uro
reported fair. Wo quote: Stucco. $2.75a3.00; New
York stucco, casting, $3.75a4.00; superfine do,
$4.00a4.25; cement,sl.7s; Kosendalo cement,S3.ooa

BEANS—The demand continues active,and not
withstanding an increased supply prices arc de
cidedly firmer, having advanced about 15c por bu
during the week. We now quote common at Sl."sa
2.00, and good to choice at 52.25a2.C5.
BROOM CORN—Is quiet but firm. Wo
quote: Old brush, $100.00al40.00; new do, 5130.00 a

CIIEE6E—Ihe cheese trade is verv quiet, as is
usually tho caso ai tins FoafOn ol the year, out
there is no abatement in tho firmness that has
characterized the market for several weeks past,
the limited supply on hand inducing a firm feel
ing on tho part of holders. Prune goods arc
scarce and command outsido quotations. Com
mon grades are plenty. We quote: New
York factory, 15a15 l-2o; Ohio factory, 13a14c;
Western do, 13a14c.
COAL—Trade is still active, and since tho date
of our last weekly review prices have farther

0.00 per hrl—chiefly at 55.60.
EfiOß-lluvo boon dull throughout tho past
week, and under a liberal supply lower prices
have prevailed. There were free sellers to-day
at 2Ca2C l-2c for fresb, and at 19a22c for pickled.
FRUITS—DRIED—Nothing new was noted dur
ing the past week in the general features of tills
market. There is no perceptible falling off in the
demand, and a firm, healthy tone pervades the
market both for domestic and foreign varieties.
Tho stocks are now liberal and well assorted, and
all orders art; promptly filled. Tho following arc
the current rates: Dates, 91-2atol-2c; figs, drums,

FlSH—Business continues dull, without mater
rial change in values. Tho light supply imparts
a firmer tone to the market for lake fish, although
the demand is of the most limited character. Salt
water discriplions are in ample stock and on fair
orders slight concessions are being made,
though nominally prices arc tho same as
a week ago. we quote: No. 1 white

Chicago Dry Goods market.
While there is not that urgency iu the demand
for dry -foods that characterized the market dur
ing last month, the movement Is larger thau
could reasonably bo cxpectedptbo volume of busi
ness exhibiting a respectable increase on that of
former years at this season. The demand, though
at present chiefly in the shape of mail orders, is
quite general in Its character, and as the stocks,
both of domestic and imported goods, are liberal
arid well assorted, a very satisfactory business is
doing. In values there are no important changes
to note. While a quieter feeling prevails, there is
no material softening iu prices, the scarcity and
extreme high prices of materials —wool and cot

all staple fabrics. The following arc the prices

CATTLE—There was a quiet feeling m the
cattle market to-day, and without heins ouotahly
lower prices were weak and unsettled. This
weakening was duo to the less favorable tenor of
Eastern advices, Now York, Buffalo, and other
markets being reported dull and lower. The
receipts were moderate and of excellent quality,
there being fewer thin rough lots than usual,
while of choico and “fancy” beeves the propor
tion was unusually prominent, hut shippers
manifested little interest in the tralllc, and even
Iho best droves were slow sale at former
rates, while the less desirable offerings
were neglected at a slight concession. The aver
age quality was probably the best of any day of
the present season, comparatively few drovers
selling below $3.50, while the major portion
changed hands at prices ranging from s4.r»o up
ward to $3.07 l-2c. The extreme range was $2.50 a
7.oo—the inside for thin mixed lota, and the out
side fora hunch of “Christmas beeves.” The
notable sales of the day were 13 head, averaging
1.593 lbs. at $5.62 1-2, by Gregory, Strader Co.
10 head, averaging 1,675 lbs, at $6.37 l-2c; G7 head,
averaging 1,854 lbs, at $0.75, and 11 head,
averaging 2,205 lbs, at s7.oo—the last two
by Wood Brothers to Nelson Morris.
Slock steers wercinquired for and sold to a mod
erate extent at substantially last week's prices,
or at $2-C0a2.75 for common to medium lots aver
aging from 750 to 900 lbs,and at $3.00a3.50 for good
to prime droves of from 900 to 1,050 lbs average.
Veul calves were dull, and coarse heavy offerings
were almost unsalable at any price. Wo quote at
$3 50a5.60 for common coarse heavy to choice fat
li"ht calves. The market closed as it opened,
quiet and easy.

SHEEP—The market was without important
change. There was a fair demand and prices
ruled comparatively steady at $3.25a3.00 for com
mon thin lots ;$3,75a4.00 for medium; and at $4.25 a
4.75 for good to choice. Some extra wore closed

Herkimer Connty Dairy Market,
Little Falls, N. Y. t Dec. 10.—The market this
week has been rather dull, and a less quantity of
cheese offered than usual. Tho delivery of farm
dairies amounted to about 400 boxes, and were*
sold at prices ranging from Xoal2e. Tho bulk of
sales may be quoted at llal2.
Only a few factories were sold,’the low rates
offered inducing factorymen to bold their stocks
for tho present. Among tho sales wo note the
following, which will show tho general tone of
the market: Henderson Association, 13o; Fair
field Association, 13 42-lOOc'; J. D. Ives, 12c; South
Columbia, 12c. Several other factories were sold
at from 12 3-4al3c; but transactions on the whole
were light.
The delivery of butter ot the Little Falls mar
ket was light, with sales at from 25 to 280, accord
ing to quality. A few strictly fancy tubs brought
30c.
At the Utica market, this week, very little was
done in cheese. Buyers, however, we learn, have
been active in picking up random lots through
the country, where they could be had at 11 to 12c.
The weather this week has been cold, with light
flurries of snow, and sledding is now very passa-
