AJfCiAL.
The week open* with n well-suslalncd demand for
s. With tbe merrased receipts of hogs In tbo last
v.-w days the packers have Increased tbeir operations,
•j hey were liorrowere to a considerable exlrnt yeslcr
day. The hrnweis are al»o borrowing largely to lay In
their winter supplies. Tbe miscellaneous demand re
mains good for manufacturer* and mercantile sources.
Board of Trade men ore applicants for fund* to carry
grain nnd provisions, but not to tbo same extent as at
tbe first uf the month.
Bates of discount are somewhat firmer. Regular
customers are charged 10 per coni as usual, but con
cession* are leas readily made. Independent borrow
ers, however, with cash collattcrals, can gel accommo
dation from 9(39 per cent.
On the street, there Is not enough good commercial
paper to supply tbo demand. Bate* are at 8018 per
cent.
There Is some movement of currency to the bog dis
tricts, but ila volume la not a* large aa the average of
last week.
The receipts of currency are small.
New York exchange is firm ; the supply is somewhat
Increased by the transfer to Eastern owners of com
modities on width advances bad been made, but the
demand is still in excess. Transactions were few, but
Iboratels still quotable at 730 premium between
banks for 11,000. Shipment* East on country account
continue large.
The clearings were f 1,500,000,
A special agent of the Internal Revenue Department
Is in the city searching the drawers of the
banks for unstamped check*. He lias ex
amined a number of bank* already, and la said
to have unearthed, In ono or two cases, a great many
violations of the law. As tbe penalty for taking un
stamped checks I* S3O apiece, the banks involved may
regard thsmiulves as unfortunate. It cannot bo said
that ampls notice was not given. Every citizen is held
to know the law, and Tnx Tuiuunb hns repeatedly
explained its previsions on this point.
Governments aro still weak iu the local market,
though rates r.rc not materially changed. The amount
offered la beyond tbo demand. Bonds arc coming back
from the country In conrlderablo quantities, where
they have been bold ns properly exempt from taxa
don. Having achieved this purpose, the holders now
leek to obtain the present high currency prices. Wo

The above roads all belong to oua class. The rate.)
allowed by the Commissioners are not tbe some for
other lines.
The same corrcpondent asks for a rule to compare
tho bushel with the English quarter of wheat. The
regular quarter is 480 lbs, or eight times GO lbs. Hem e,
multiply the number of quarters into right, and the
result Is the equivalent la bushels. In same parts of
Great lirltuiu they reckon 490 and 600 lbs to the quar
ter, but tbo standard la 480.
The lending produce markets wore rather slow yes
terday, with a weak feeling In provisions and general
steadiness in grain ; a firmer tone In some departments
bring due to the fact of smalt receipts, Tbe severs
storm of lust week froze up the channels of supply In
several sections, while it did not materially interfere
with the forward movement from this city, there not
being enough of it to cause a crush through a little
dllllculty on truck. Tbe shipment of produce from
this city Is alow, but fully as large as could be expect
ed, eeclng that the East k well supplied and Europe
comparatively Independent of our stocks (except lord).
It is time, however, that the rull movement should take
on n phase of greater nativity, if anything beyond the
supply of Interior point* be attempted this winter.
The excitement iu lard has somewhat abated here,
though It still estate on the seaboard. The reason for
this ditTcronce is the fact that It hi now rather late to
ship from this city to till talcs made for delivery in
Liverpool iu January, while they can buy In Kow York
up to Wednesday, and have a reasonable prospect for
the doUvcryof lard that Is shipped on (be Saturday's
steamer. Some 4,000 tea were sunt from Chicago on
(Saturday, but the buying of cash lard was very light
yesterday, for the reason above stated. The specula
tive pressure bolug withdrawn, a depression iu prices
was the uatural consequence, which reacted to sumo
exteuton other pork products.
Ury goods were lu belter demand, with soms of the
loading staple articles more Urmly held. Groceries
met with a (air inquiry from the local and country
trade, and woru held fully up to former rates. Cof
fees aud teas still ahow something of an advancing ten
dency, but the general market displays a steady tone.
There was buly a moderate movement of domestic
and foreign dried fruits. Fish are la better request
and ere tirmcr lu prlc.*. Canned goods are moving oo
a more liberal scale, ths late reduction lu prices hav
ing attracted the attention of buyers. Ko now features
were noted lu the butter end cheese markets. Trade
iu those staple articles continues alack, but, with the
prospect of a freer movement by and by, holders are
mil pressing sales at tbs sacrifice of pilcos. bagging,
leather, and pig iron remain dull. Coal aud wood
were lu good demand at full prices. Ko changes
wire reported iu tobaccos. Oils were firm.
Lumber was quiet aud steady. Small country or
dure are received occasionally, but the very cold
weather has checked biuliuu for tho past few days,
and the market Is fury quiet. It Is iutimated by par
ties who arc supposed to bo lu a poaitiou to know, that
the forthcoming report of the stock of limdiei; on

Valley.
From the Hartford (Conn.) Post,
The fossil foot-printu in the sandstone of tho
Connecticut Valloyhave afforded for yearstho
must ample opportunity for geological investi
gation and research. President Ititchcock, of
Auihernt College, won a world wide reputation
an account of his labors in this fluid, Hln work
fully established tho science of Ichnology.
Since his death but little has been done in tbe
way of penetrating more deeply into the rock
history of tho valley than where ho loft
it. Hut, while tho public have heard little
of lato years of these interesting' and
important relics of defnnot orders of animal life,
some valuable. explorations havo boon-going on
at Turner’* Falls, Mass., under tbs careful eye of
T. M. Btoughton. of Gill, and have resulted in
tho discovery of several thousand imprints, some
of which are entirely new to geology, and con
clusively prove the existence of a genus of rep
tiles hitherto unknown. Mr. Htuughtou’s re
searches have been made with great care ami In
telligence, and have extended over a period of
several years, i Ho has recently taken out of
the quarries at Tumor's Falls remarkably dis
tinct and weli-dellned Impressions of tbe
track of a threo-tood otozouu. The tracks are
from 8 to 10 inches long, several in number, and
in a straight lino, showing plainly the course of
the animal, and possibly indicating somewhat,
by the length of the step, the size of tho least.
Tiie quarry where these impressions were found
has been closed by the cold weather, and further
investigations will have to bo postponed till
spring. Is addition to this discovery,
which Is of much soiontiUo value, Mr.
Btoughton has also discovered one com
plete impression and a portion of another
which promisee important results. The track
Is U2 Inches by 20, or twice the size of any
ever found before. There Is tho mark of tho
heel and the two sharp-polled toes, apparently,
in tho perfect track, ami of the two toes in tbe
incomplete track, indicating the path of some
creature. .
Tlio slab on which these impressions wore
found was taken out under s high bluff, and
considerable time has been epout m cutting
down this bluff to discover the succession of
these tracks, which, if found, will prove conclu
sively the existence of a monstrous animal
of which nothing is yet known. The work
of digging through the bluff will be continued
next year, and the results will be awaited with
great interest by geologists. Boms of the im
pressions and specimans discovered by Mr.
Stoughton, are among the huest and rareat in
existence. One of them bears the tracks of an
otozoon that wilt probably prove to bo unlike
anything now kuowu. The tracks tie broader
and loss sharply pointed at the extremities than
the others now described. Msuy of the slabs
cut from the quarry bear marks of vegetation,
aud will furnish much materia) for geologio
study sud examination. The moet of these spec
imens will go to Yale College, thereby im
mensely increasing the value of the cabinet col
lection at that Institution.

Mr. Van Huron requested Mr, Groan to re
cord on his minutes the fact that Mr. Spalding

In answor to a question by Mr. Le Moyne, Mr,
Spalding stated that ho lived at No. Ul6 North

uotico of contest to the Notary, and that it wa(

Hermann Liub; that ho resided in Chicago, and
was County Clork of Cook County; ,as Count)
Clerk hud • charge of ballot-boxes and olectloa
returns made by judges of election in Cook
County; had those of the election hold on tbt
del November, 1871, iu that part of Cook Count)
embraced in the Third Congressional District
which he received from the judges of oleotiog
of tho district three or four days after said 0100
tion, and which woio deposited in a closed box int
side tho vaultof tho County Clerk’s office, whore
tlioy had remained ever siuco. Whoa received
they wore iu sealed envelopes, according lo pro*
uincts; tboy had not been opened niuco,
At the request of Mr. Lo Moyne, tho Count)
Clork produced tho ballots and affidavits of tbe
First Precinct of tho Twentieth Ward. Ho then
proceeded, iu tho prosocce of tbe two notaries,
to
OPEN TUB ENVELOPES
containing tlic ballots.
Mr. Van Huron asked tbs witness if tbo pack*
agon produced wore not wealed up by tbo judge*
ot election of that precinct when tbey wart
banded to hhn.
Tbs witness sold that they were brought to him
sealed.
Mr. Van Huron objected, and protected against
the opening of cither of the at nil, but
said that if, against tbo protest of tbo contcstee r
tbo packages wore opened, he insisted that th*
judges of tbe election of the I'irot i’fcoluot oi
tbo Twentieth Ward, whoso duty it was to seal up
said packages, and deliver them so sealed to tbfl
witness, should bo called in to Inspect said pack*
ago*, that they might noo the name, and deter*
mine and declare whether they hud boea
opened, seals,broken, seals removed, or turn*
pored with in any respect whatever, lie fnrthol
protested, because tbs lair of the State of Illi
nois required that the ballots and poll-book*
should be carofiriiv preserved by the Clerk fol
tbe jwlod of six months, when they should b«
destroyed by burning without having boon pro*
viomdy opened, unless upon a contested election
proceeding under the laws of tbe State ofllii
uois. lie claimed that tbo County Clock bad ua
right to open tbo packages at all, or to disturU
the seals, unless as under that statute provided.
If the Clerk opened the packages at all. ha
claimed he violated a solemn statute of the otatfl
of Illinois. i
Thn County Ctork quoted paragraph 00 of th«
Flection law
in Bui'ronr ov ms maur
to open tbe packages, as follows s
lu all cows of contested election, tbe parties coim
tenting tbs sau*o shall have tho right to Invo tbo lutl
Eaokrgo of ballots opened, ami said ballot* referred to
y witnesses fur tbo purpose of such soatoat. But said
ballots shall only bo so ezaiuiufd and referred to In
tbo presence «>f tbe officer having tbo custody thereof*
Mr. Van Huron said that hs wanted additional
time to get the Judges of Election who sealed
tho packages to testify us to whether they wero
in tne same condition as when they were handed
by them to the Clark of witness. lie did nob.
suspect that the witness bad tampered with
them, but the fact stogd that they had remained
for mouths whore they could bo tampered with,
and it was quite necessary to have the testimony,
110 called attention to tho fact that one of the
seal? Wat broken.
Mr. Max Bdmller, the clerk of tho witness al
luded to, inspected tho packages previous to
their being opened.
Witness then opened tbe packages, and the
counting was proceeded with, and resulted as
follows, the Notaries making no ofllclul report an
yet: Fanvcll, 110 votes; Lo Moyne. 221) votes.
As returned by the Judges it stood: Farwoll,
