FINANCIAL.
The movement of eorrency to the eonntry. the
•sport demand for our crops, and the yellow fever
kt ere the financial toptca In Chicago last week.
The eonntry banks did not order currency a* freely
as at first, as they had stocked tip somewhat In ad
vance of their needs. The continuance of the pres
ent good demand from abroad for our products Is
a matter of prime Importance to our bank
ers. railroad men, and the business
commnntty generally. Its present influence Is
most beneficial on railroad earnings, and the pur
chasing power of the country customers of Chicago
merchants and tuantifSkHrers. The effect of the
yellow fever waa felt Itshtly In Chicago financial
circles. The banks have found It necessary to dis
continue caching drafts on points In the Mississip
pi Vtllcy south of f*t. Louis, and the arrest of
transportation has diminished the amount of
Bonthcrn exchange made.
The price of N*ew York exchange closed between
banks nt (KMJBOc per SI, 000 discount.
Tne loan market was quiet, and showed only a
alight increase of applications for loans. Sales
were OtfblO per cent.
The clearings of the Chicago banka for the week
are reported as follows by Manager D. R. Hale, of
the Chicago Clearing-House:

has coined a little more than the lowest monthly
limit—SO. 000,000—fixed by law. This limitation
of the coinage I" explained to have been caused In
part by the Inability of tho Secretary to get all the
pun silver wanted at the London price, payable in
■tundard dollars. The London quotation, of
course. Is In gold, and was for silver delivered at
London, bnt Secretary Sherman refused to buy of
the American producers unless they would furnish
the sliver at tho London price and would take
standard silver dollars In payment Instead of gold
dollar*. These terms they have finally agreed to.

the Government on tho operation:

We continue tn receive further evidence of the
Improved feeling In trade and manufactures In Kn-

made. Titus, in the London 'Hires reports of the

In the Cleveland (district; “morn dnintrln finished
Iron" at Wolverhampton: “eall'lactory business

The movcmcnla of the precious mcinla In Great

portant variations from those of 1877. The mi

amount to £8,062.000, compared with £12,600,•
000 for the sain* period of laat year, showing a de
crcaie in the foreign supply of £4,448,000. The
reduction has occurred chiefly In the imports from
(Jormauy. which have bean only £■;{,661,000,
against £7.4110.000 in 1877: besides which the re
ceipu from the Untied tttatea have declined
1606,000; from other conntriea the movement la
ftlmoat even with that of Inat year. Out while the
reivnita from foreign aourcca ahow a decline of
£4.448,000. the outflow exhlolts a decline of £3,.

1877,—a decrease of 11,280,000. Comparing Ilia
inward and outward movements. It will be seen that,
witnni the lost seven month*. England h«s lost
£2.726,000 of gold, while for the same period of
1877 she lust £3.748,000. This excess of exports
over Import* account* directly for thu present low

England. The bulk of lhe»e exports bus gone to
France and Germany. Lust year Fiance received

Wbicb way axe freight rate* ywloy t Carrier* **jf
that they ought to be higher and roust advance
with n continuance of the present free movement
of grain from first hand*. The receipt* at i'niedo
and Detroit are IsrCT enough to Rive flee to a seri
ous competition with tho ports on the western
shore of Lake Michigan, and grain Is already piling
np here at a rapid rate. Some operators predict
that we shall have folly 4,000.000 bn of earn alone
in store here af the close of August, besides full
stocks of other grain. Carriers have hitherto been
disposed to hold off for higher rates, bat weakened
a little Saturday.
The leading produce marketswere rather Irregtt
lar Saturday, with only a moderate volume of bus
lores transacted. Grain was easier, corn being
quite weak most of tho time, and wheat ditto the
latter part of the session. The fact of hlg receipts
was urged as sufficient reason fijr a big decline, es
pecially In wheat, which is said to be relatively
high in all the Western markets. Oats and barley
were easier in sympathy, while provisions were
easy, though bogs wers armer. Tho early feeling
In wheat was strong because of news of storms In
Kngland, hut the strength was not smtalned.
Jobber* of dry-goods were well pleased with the
position of the market, the demand ahowtngsteady
and satisfactory Improvement, and prices remain
ing very firm both for cotton and woolen textiles.
Prints, brown sheetings, tho leading brands of
bleached sheetings, and some other lines of cotton
goods have an npward tendency. There la contin
ued imnrovemcnt tn the demand for groceries, and
the market maintains n firm ond healthy tone.
Coffees, sugars, and rice are specially firm. There
were no price changes, though an advance In
■ngara seems Imminent. Dried trolls were quoted
in fair request, with prices steady for mosilines.
Butter was morlog freely at fully-sustained prices.
Some comnlalnts are heard of a scarcity of floe ta
ble grades, but of all other descriptions there Is an
ample supply. The firm tone for some days past
pervading tho cheese market continues, andin fine,
full creams the tendency Is rather onward. Fish
were quoted quiet and steady. No chances were
reported In the market for oils, paint, and colors.
Leather, bagging, tobacco, coal, and wood wore
quoted as before.
The cargo lumber market was quiet Saturday,
the offerings being very light. Prices for inch
were unchanged and standard piece staff closed
steadier. At the yards trade continues to improve,
and dealers as a rule are billing lumber at the pub
lished price-list. Woo) was steady. The sales of
oroom corn were chiefly (o small manufacturers,
and prices were easy under fair offerings and fav
orable crop reports. Hides were steady under
good demand from dealers. Seeds were In good
demand and steady, except clover and tbo lower
grades of timothy, which were easier. Tho sales
of potatoes were fair sod prices were steady, tho
stock being only sufficient lu enable dealers to at
tend to orders promptly. Poultry was slow and
easy, and eggs steady.
Lake freights were active and about &c lower,
sbiopcrs taking hold quite freely at tho reduction.
Dales were 3-USJ3.VC for coro, and 4QM!«c for
wheat by sail (o Buffalo, Doom was taken for
313,000 bn wheat, 383,000 bu corn, and iii’s,ooo

will be farther advanced the coming week.
Through rated by lake end rail were quoted Arm

and 16c for corn to Boston. Hail and canal to New
York were lllfc on wheat and JOHftllcon corn.

ig:
Cash wheat at 00c, with Intermediate charges
would cost SI.IOIU alongside ship. With

based npon new spring, which is worth relatively
much less than the old spring of Beerbonm'e Quo
