MONEY AND COMMERCE
FINAXOIAFj.
There has been an Improvement In trade this week,
and Hi e •t la ecen among the banks in more active
counter business and an Increase of deposibt. Tills
lends to diminish the mercantile demand for loans,
since mort of the Utter has been due to the compara
tively light btnioees done. Tim loans applied for by
manufacturers and Board of Trade men, however,
have kept up the discount lines. Thcco are not full,
and most of tbo banks liaro a surplus which they
would bo glad to put lalo commercial paper, particu
larly as a large amount of their bills receivable fall duo
next month, and their lurplus will bo Increased.
Halos of discount at tho banks are 8(31') per cent.
On the street there Is more demand for good paper
than can be supplied. Hates are "iSIS per cent.
Currency began to flow Eastward cgilu yesterday.
Exchange sold at BOCkTfo premium between banks for
ft, 'ICO. The orders from the oouulry banks for ex
rhangearo not eo heavy aa In tbo early part of tho
aiontli.
The clearings were $7,100,000.
TItE RTATE AND TUB SAVINGS HASBB.
The New York Legislature is engaged In active con
aldcration of the best system of regulating the savings
banka of that Stats. Two bills aro be
fore tho Legislature. Thctr titles give eomo
Idea of their soopo, One-the Assembly bill—ls ouli
iled 11 An act to conform fiio charters of alt savings
banks or Institutions for nvings to a uniformity of
powers, rights, and liability*, and to provide fnrlho
organization of savings bilks, for their supervision,
and for tho administration if their affairs.” This cer
tainly Indicates that no web theory is held in New
York as Is freely avaneed hire, that ths savings hanks
are above sod beyond Slat* supervision. Tbeßcnato
hill |J entitled “An act to ptovido for tho organization
of savings banks, for their nxpervision, and for the ad
ministration of their affairs.” Both these bills pro
crcd on tho theory that since the Slate gives the banks
their charter, and since tho in’.ercste of all classes, hut
particularly of tho thrifty, Indsstrlous chares, aro con
cerned in tbo proper management of the savings sys
tem, the ravings hanks aro peculiarly fit subjects for
tho mest rigid Stats supervision.
A noticeable feature of tho discussion In New York
Is that tbo savings banka (hcmseVes are doing all
that they can to help tho Leglelatiuo totholKSt solu
tion of each question that arises. Tbo Senate bill, for
Instance, allows the ravings bants to Invest 10 per
ccatofthcir deposits In town b*udt Issued in aid of
railroadit. Tho loading savin'* banks of Now York
liave united In a memorial to tie Legisliture request
ing that such Investment bo fcThiJdeu to tho banks.
This policy la a very different one from that which
has been pursued in tuls State. Instead of
Legislators and saving* banks uniting In
n common endeavor to perfect and guard
tho ravings hank ayatim, everything possible is
d'yQo to Impede such s step; and tho history of
tho last eeriion of tho Legislature shows that when
the Legislator and tho savings bask official tfocomo
united in one person, :ho disposition to obstruct re
form reaches its maximum The attempt In the Illi
nois Legislature to i«:uro tbo pauage of some law
regulating the savings banks in tho interest of de
positors has been a history of constant failure. Tho
attention of tho peeplo was particularly arrested at
tho last session, whin a bill to effectuate the provisions
of tho State Constitution for the supervision of tho
savings banks was defeated by tho active,
though not aboveboard, opposition of a distinguished
ravings bank official of this city, who had
sought and obtained tbo Chairmanship of tho Senate
Committee on Banka and Banking. Throughout a
long senriDa bis committee Accomplished nothing, and
tbo object with which this Chairmanship was solicited
wen probably achieved. Tbo members of the Senate
Committee ond of the House Committee made strenu
ous efforts to bars smoothing done, hut without suc
cess.
Aa wo huro sold, this la Id sharp contract lo the ac
t'on cf tbo New York savings baoka. There la another
contrast aqnoUr sharp. The deposits of the New
York sarings banka in 187V74 were $233,000,(00,
amt are increasing. The Midngft deposit! of the IHi*
noia banks are slo,ooo,non, am! are decreasing, accord
ing to ibelr own odvcrtlseraents, Evidently, the Now
York banka have (he contldonca of tbo community,
and find tuelr profit In it.

Tha leading produce markets were sctlvo yesterday
In grain and quiet lu provisions, with a generally firm
feeling. Tha trading was, however, chiefly of the
speculative order, tbo arrangements fur shipment
being light, and the chartering business exceedingly
dull. There Is a fair quantity of grain already loaded
Into vessels, awaiting the opening of navigation, but
little disposition to add to Its volume. The railroad
buainese la very alow, as if usual at this season, and
veseol-uicn arc “opart in their views'* in regard to
the time when the Strolls of Msckluaw will bo open.
It seems prohahlo, however, that the data will be much
earlier than has been feared. Up to a few days ago
tbo middle of May was the prevalent guess, but the
reports now Indicate that the lee is rolling fssl, and a
good wind la the right direction would toon break It
up. The date of opening will probably be but little
after tbo SOth of April, which is near the average of
post aeasous, *
Of tbo character of the summer business In produce,
now budding out, it Is yet too soon to speak; ono can
scarcely give an intelligent guess. The general fea
tures of tho present situation may utterly fail to be re
flected Into that of one month hence. Hut the outlook
la not very flattering. Wheat is not wanted, though
very cheap, while nearly all other kinds of produce
are held so high aa to keep the consumption down to
the lowest possible point that Is consistent with civil,
ixed existence, m both cases tbo shipping interest Is
depressed, ami especially so aa the Irou ore trade will
not furnish any considerable competition for freight
room. The carrying business threatens to bo a los
ing ono, whlls svsn with extra low freights, the ship
ment of produce will bo more baxsrdous than usual,
Tho weather of the past two or three daye baa been
more favorable for tha promotion of an active move
ment in spring and summer fabrics, and we note-an
increased distribution of seasonable goods. The de
mand for brown and bleached actions is Ices active
than during the earlier weaka of the season, and un
popular makes show eoms irregularity )u prices. In
tho grocery market there were no important new fea
tures. Orders for coffees, teas, sugars, aud olhsr laud
ing lines, wero numerous and liberal in tho amounts
called for, hut aid# goods, os a rule, wero quiet, No
price-changes wore reported. Dried fruits remain
only moderately active. Loose Muscatel raisins are off
a trifle, with which exception former quotations were
fairly sustained. The cheese and butter marketa were
essentially unchanged. Coal, wood, bagging,, and
leather remain Inactive. A fair movement lu oils was
witnessed at steady rates.
At the lumber yards tbs usual number of orders
wero received, aad trade tn the aggregate was about
up to the average. At the docks mailers were ta much
tho seme condition uon the previous day. Several
buyers wero on the market and a few cargoes were
sold, but thire was very utile Ufa to tbs trade. Tbs

earier. The excitement In tba grain markets took
many operators away, as tho market la now In tba
summer phase, where it does not need u much watch*
tug os in cold weather, Tho receipts of bogs were
rather largo, and a decline was expected, while tho ad*
rices quoted product dull at other points, Hence tho
tendency here waa downward, but there waa not
enough product offered to induce weakness. The
trading was chiefly in turning over, and cash lots ware
relatively Arm, moat of tho staff nowhere being tied

WIII2AT—Won active sod irregular, but averaged
H° higher, though Liverpool was again quoted easier
and Now York was dull. There wore a good many buy
ing orders on the floor, chUfly from country points,
while the receipts of the morning were smaller, and
there Is a growing Indisposition to send to wheat other
than that already told ahead. The receipts In Liver
pool last week were 300,000 quarters, perhspe the larg
est ever knows, and the formers’ deliveries were also
far above the average. Hut the etocks in New York are
■mall, and roust be speedily replenished, or shipments
from that point will eeaso, In which case an advance in
Liverpool would ensue. Hence the prospect Isa fair
one for larger shipments from the West; hut whether
the mountain or Mahomet will be the one to move, In
the matter of prices, must be determined by the event.
We note that there are more inquiries in this market
from American millers than heretofore. The prices
of winter wheat have been run up so high under re
cent reports of crop-failure that the spring wheat Is
now very much tbs cheapest of the two, and If the
present disparity should continue a large proportion of
oar present stock may be wanted for use lu Interior
Clntn without reference to Now York. There was a
tier demand for cash lota yesterday In this market,
and lost nreisuro to sell for nest mouth. The trading
was chiefly for June delivery, and most of the buying
teemed to he dona by the local shorts, in (be latter
part of the session. Bel Ur June oi>cncd at $1.06*4,
rose to fl.Ofi'f, receded to $1.05!/, advanced to $1.0634,

LEOPOLD A AUSTRIAN'S LAKE SUPERIOR
LINE.
The props retrials and J. L. Hard, of Leopold ft
Austrian's Lake Superior People’s Uue, hero received
a thorough overhauling at tbla port during the past
winter. Both those vojsela have been calked from item
to alorn, and tho ceilings have also been calked and
wedged. Largo rapain hare alco been tnado on the
Hurd'a boilers. The Peerless h (bo finest vessel on
the lakes, and her reputation Is such that but little
noed bo laid alwiit her. The Hurd received an en
tirely new cabin the winter bafore bat, and, with the
now improvements made daring the past winter, eha
la but Utile inferior If not equal to the Peerless. The
slmr Norman ban wintered at Duluth, and liataUo
been thoroughly uverhoulod. She has been
repainted Inside and oaUldo, and re
furnished with now and elogsnt furniture,
Rbei bag also been supplied with a now promenade
ilsok, and will coma nut aa good aa new. The boats of
this lino will bo commanded as follows tho coming
eeason: Peerles, CspL Allen Mclntyre; J. L. Hurd,
Capt. Thoraae Lloyd; Norman, Oipt. John McLoml.
Mr, Joseph Auilriou, ono of tho proprietor* of tills
line, states that the news from Lake Huperlor is still
very discouraging, and there Is hardly a prospect of
an opening before the 10th of May. Stages are still
nmnlrfO’t the ice tatween Marquette and Grand
Island, » distance of«i miles. No water is lu light
from iuo bills back of Marquctto, Portage Lake Is
still a solid sheet of ico, and wsgona are crossing na
safely a.i in (ho ralrtctlo of February.
Nows from Duluth la also discouraging, all
the ‘"accounts being to the effect that tho
lake Is still solid as far na tho eye can reach, with no
prospects of an early breaking ui*. A* Boon as the Ice
gives way the Hurd will leave uninth for this city,
and open the Lake Superior navigation for this year.

tbo barge* O. Cromwell and Guiding Blar, A
move is being made by the Grand Trunk Rail
road to have the Vermont Central send their
Eastern freight via Fort Huron to Montreal by the
Grand Trunk, and there connect with the Vermont
Central. This would cause their Una of boats to ran
to Fort Huron. The Fort Huron I'imts thinks If this
arrangement Is nut perfected tha boats will be com
pelled to Ue idle, for they are so small that It dues not
pay to run them through the canal. These Eastern
railroads which ere trying to secure Western freights
are discovering that the rout* via Fort Huron laths
shortest, cheapest, and the only reliable one tha year
round.
