6 MONEY AND COMERGE. FINANCIAL. Bckdat Bvrmwo, Oct. IS. The financial record of the week is a gratify* log one. Though Uio demand for money lias not exhausted the available resources of the banks, It Lm boon lair and steadily improving. Bank* erotro not eager to enlarge their loans unduly r.t this time. Packers will soon be in the market Cor accommodation, and this activity, with (he **Lor demands incident to the early winter, will caako money much closer in thirty or sixty days. Open lotus on the Board of Trade are almost entirely in cash property. This diminishes the usual employment of funds on 'Chance, ami leaves a amplus in the bauds of the Board of Trade banks. Money can be borrowed of these institutions by strong par* ties, with good securities, at rates ranging from G per cout on call upwards, With the mor oaotilo banks money is firmer ; outside loans are tegoUatod with less readiness, and at lees lib eral rates, end somo of these institutions hare refused first-class outside paper. To regular customers, the nominal rate of 10 pec coot la ■till charged. Money ou the street is firmer at MPodB per cent. , . The clearings of the week hare Indicated the activity of tbo banks and the better condition of gcooial bojiusas. They are : jjate. / C.'ttfrintjs, Tlalnnee*.

The balancs Is in favor of a real increase vi tbe clearings, aud of tbe legitimate ousutess cf the city, which is considered i»y m&n*or our tort bankers and business meu to be better thau before th# panic. „ . . • New York exchange is usually made in large Quantities at this season by the tshipinent of Jjroouca to the East, aud is cousa queully usually cheap. Us unprece dented comse this weci: has been upward, find it has risoa from 25a discount to COo premi um, and there is talk of shipping currency to the Bust to make exchange. No tucu step has yet been taken. The caueo of this high price of exchange is, of Course, understood to be the Bi;ht shipments of gram Etintward. Tho fi&me cause has been.at work in tho heavy remittances which have been made to New York in tbe last fortnight, by the Chic.igo bauke, ou behalf of thoir country correspondents, whoso customers, the country people, are paying thoir debts iu money, and uot with produce.

The debts of all the Stales and Territories of the Union, it ia estimated, do not much ex ceed 4399.090,091). A considerable amount of this eutn was incurred by tbs loyal States to equip troops to aid in the suppression of the Confederacy. OX this $399,090,990 the eleven Southern States owe ouo-half, or about $160,- 000,0091 And not a dollar of it ia war debt. Much cf it, Indeed, was created by fraud and B.undliag eince the war, but none for the sup port aua maintenance of Confederate troops. Ail that was long ago repudiated. STATU UKBT OP VIRGINIA. The debt of tho State of Virginia was contract ed for luternal improvements, the chief among them being tbo James Ilivor and Kanawha Canale. Interest oo it was paia down to tho end of tho Rebellion, hut it cannot any longer be raised. Tbo default is set down to these causes: Fast, tho destruction of a largo part or tho State's basis of credit by emancipation and tho YVar. Tbo annual deficit is about $939,- bCO, and the State now proposes to declare itself insolvent, ami to try to mako some arrange ment with ns creditors. This seems the o.ily thing that is practicable under the circumstan ces, and with tho eetilcd Government tlie State now cujova, and hoc vast resources, there can he I tll** that the creditors iu the cud will uct lose anything. •ENGLAND STOCKHOLDERS.

A car-load of barley which bad been inspected on the Central track a day or two ago as No. 3 was held out of store, and sold by sample to ono of the best judges of barley iu Cbicago at sl.lO. Tho selling prico of No. 8 in tbo Central was 89c. This ehowa that inspectors are cot infalli ble, especially iu barley, which is by far tbo moat diflicult of aU the cereals to judge correctly. Wheat In Chicago is fearfully low—for the farmer. It would not seem Tory bad to quote it at 83c, if that were the price on tho farm. Dut 88c hero means not more than 600 in Nebraska, and as low os 420 for No. 3 in Lincoln iu that Slate. The farmers there who are obliged to sell at that price to keep the Sheriff away Hud that the product of a 10-aore patch only re move? him a few inches farther from their doors. The heats, who profess to be working iu tho interest of the widow and orphan, will undoubt ; cdly take courage from this fact, even if they do not Hud auy satisfaction in it. And the wheat crop is almost tho sola dependence of the Ne braska f&rmors this year. The leading produce markets were moderately active to-day; with a firmer feeling lu grain, iu sympathy with a steadier tone East, which was a revival of confidence shaken by the small fail ures recently announced. The fear that they would ho followed by larger ones is now over; aud there Is a belter inclination to invest at tho reduced prices winch followed tue break Iu con fidence. The trading here was largely specula tive, however, the shipping movement being very slow, as 1b usual on Saturday. Iu tue dry-goods market there was only fair activity, few buyers being present, while the orders received through tho mails were less numerous than ou tho preceding days of the week. Prices remain steady and firm for most lines. The grocery market ruled quiet, with no important price-changes. Sugars display a lack of Hirougth, but other mauls articles aud moat side-goods are held with a lair degree of firm nest. There was a free movement iu butter and clieedo at well-maintained prices, though rather less fiimucss Is manifested among holders of the former* Activity and firrauoHH are fttlil features of the Ash raarsot. No further changes wore repot tod. Domestic dried fruits •i.Miiua dull, with prices unsettled, but in iuruigu ansumnouiH ilnwe is a (rea movement at rather firmer races. No quotable changes wore developed in the coal, wood, and ml markels. Tobauooa were fairly active, and wore held with great firmness, the remloucv being to hlghoi prices.

Options in put k wore easier, the rear being 10c lower than the reduced price of last evening, but were froolv taken at the decline. Lard for future was 5o per 100 lbs lower, with more activity. Old lard Is practically out of the maikot, with aevoral unsettled contract.* for this month,which will probably bavo to be settled at fancy prices. Meals were quiet and unchanged. There is very JUtlo old product of any kind here, the stocks being well cleaned up, but there Is plenty of new stuff on hand, and fair shipment* of It have been made during (lie past week. Tito receipts of hogs continue fair, though less numerous than early in tho week when the market broke under the weight of offerings. The general impression is that hogs will be marketed quite ns faut as wanted, the high price of product lending to reduce the Eu ropean demand, ami as many hoge will uot be wanted as last year, unless prices should recode to a noi»»t where English buyers will taka bold rooro freely thau now.

The following extiaots ate taken from th* Lumberman's daze/te: In the Western Stale*, the determination to largely reduce the production seems to bo of un mistakable UimucHs, and the operations already laid out arc in accordance with such a policy. In Michigan, there is mote doubt about the ex tent of tbe cut, perhaps, than further west. There are some peculiar features about the con dition of tho lumbermen of that Stale, among which may bo momtouoi the damages to stand ing Umber by fire. Now. although there are lumbermen who prefer to leave theirhorned tim ber to its rote lather than spoil next year's mar ket by making an ovor-atooic, it is unquestion ably true Umt this fire damage will augment the cat considerably. In Ponosylvauia too move ment for reduction appears to bo well organized, and likely to be effective. In Canada tho lum bermen promise to reduce-the cut largely, and the limber dealers give tho same assurance. In the Michigan districts, whor* the prospects are least positive, the coming season *ill hud a very small—almost au insignificant—stock of old logs to bogia upon. Where iu former years thore have been old logs by the hundred million, thore are now back only com paratively email amount!, white many siicams are Absolutely stripped of ail old stock. Operations the coming winter in*y therefore bo largely iuc.cased over last winters, aud still the aggregate stock fall Khoit of previous years by many millions. The present season has boon a general foleaning-up time for almost all the Michigan lumber streams, tho very light cut t>f last winter aud the favorable running uoa-ioo affording a most favorable opportunity fordoing tbis. Few things are more certain than that the market will be supplied with ail the lumber which, from present appearances, it will need.

The arrivals during the first half of the week were largo, but, anticipating a diminished supply as iho Week advanced, holders entertained firm views, and prices were pretty well sustained. Under the unexpectedly heavy receipts of Thursday and Friday, however, the market broke down a hiWic, and closes dull and depressed at the reduction, Wulle our supply has been the largest of any week of the season, there were not enough lira sud secoudlclass beeves to satisfy tbe wants of Kew York, Albany, and Uostou, uud the quality of the cattle scut to those points was of an unusually low average. Of the 2J.U00 cattle oiVercd for sale only uu insignificant number were good enough to com* maud a higher figure tbau 14,75, waile by far the larger part of the week’s hunlmwa wus accomplished at the low range of 53.3359.7 ft. Htock cattle were In good de mand, and Chicago butchers bought mors liberally than uamd, but tha combined demand from times sources did not prove smtldcnt to absorb ime-half the coiiunou stuck rojoived from day to day, uml at the close tbe auoumulallona amount to some 7,000 head. Calves have been in light supply, aud sold at very full rates, or at fJ.si'(?3.7fi lor poor to choice. To-day the market was devmd u( aulnuvUtm, and the few sales re ported Indicated very irregular prices. The receipts were unusually large for utu cloeiug day, amounting to 1,700, whereon Saturday's receipts seldom exceed l,uod. More common biuff now lies in the yards thau will aaftlcs to meet legitimate demands for a week to come, aud itwold the Mielute during tbtaaat tor days ptm liberal It la fliillcull to noo totr a further depredation iu values can bo averted. At the recent meeting of tha railroad ofllclnla at llio Padllo Hold iu thia city, awno change* iu livestock freights were determined upon, but what Umiso clungon wera ban not yet transpired.

That considerable confidence Is felt in the Immediate future of prices la pretty clearly demonstrated by the fact that, under an average dully supply of lß,ouo hogs, the ■ggrcfl'.to decline for the week scarcely exceedslUASlo per loti lbs. The great bulk of the 00,030 Uoga have been ditponed of tbrougb the usual channels,—that is, to shippers and city butchers,—the purchases of the few packers who have been killing from time to time throughout the summer and fall months not having been very materially Increased' Most of tho packing, houses have now teen put in order for tho Reason’s work, and, as soon as tho weather will permit, it is probable that packers will begin operations' Early In the week the quality of (ha hogs was much above the recent average, but tha arrivals of tho post two or thru dayo have been less aalisfartory.

Burins Hit past three days but Uttla activity wag ap parent In any department of the dry-good* market, while, aside rtom a fow of the leading Huba, eittome quietude has prevailed. Tha m*vket for cotton goods displays some animation, and there IB a well sustained demand for brown and bleached cotton flannels, chav lot stripes, worsted dress goods, shawls, and hosiery, but the aggregate distribution was undoubtedly small er than for the corresponding three days of lust week. The belief prevalent amongst jobbers that business will continue steadily f ilr throughout the fall and far into the winter Is baaed upon a knowledge of the fact that stocks in the hands of country merchants are much smaller (ban they bare been accustomed to carry In past seamns,and that at most of the «mal or diitrlbot- Ing points in the West, which look to Chicago far tneir supplies, a fair, If not active, business Is being prose cuted. Concerning collections, there Is no c*nso for complaint. From thoss sections where the drought and grasshopper* were the roost dcolmoiivo remit tances are alittle lardy, but, as a rule, collection* are comlugforward with commendable promptitude. No important price changes have taken place sines our last report, and the general market now presents a steady lone. Carpeting* are moving with soma free doom at unchanged price*.
