Tbe market for Governments wae not active.
Prices remain as before quoted, with lew rxcep*

tbe la advanced from 100* toJOd*. The cur*

likely to iir called before the cloae of tbe year, are
worth no more than par in gold.
There was a larger supply of grain bill*, and an
average buNtness In prov’aiou bills, but rates,wbich
arc controlled by tbe aopply and demand at
2*ow York, were flrnter. Sterling was 482* and
4hT, with actual tranaactlone at 481* and 480.

T.ie failure of the Caledonian Hank, on account of
its liability on only four aharea of the City of Glas
gow flank, reveals tbe terrible pressure of that
calamity. The Caledonian Rank stood high. At
tbo stockholder*’ annual meeting last Auguat
a dividend was made at (bo rate of 14 percent a
year free of income 'lax, and $20,235 was added
to the surplus. The report of the bank made Jane
-'!> this year shows: Capital, $750,000; surplus.
$375,000; deposits. $5,730,000; discounts,
J5.410.U00; Government bonds, etc., $1,250,000;
cavh o;i band, $789,000. Tho failure of the Cale*
doalnn Rank bat renewed tbo distrust In London
aooui tbo financial future. Tbe London I\mti of
of (ho 22d ult. says:
Thia reasonable distrust baa been much bight*
cncd by the way tbit facta have been kept out of
sb’iil. For example, it te tolerably well known
(bat there are m London at this present moment
eumctblng like £3,000.000 of City of Glasgow
Rank acceptances, but no one knows with any ap*
pruach to accuracy in wnoso bands they are. Not
oix'-tbirdof that amount baa been confessed to.
Now, C1.00n,000 should not be sucb an enormous
sum for I Ik* credit institutions of London to face.
M ere they to write ii all off as a bad debt—a etep
they arc not railed upon to take—lt probably would
not cripple them taken altogether, far less do
them permanent Injury. It should therefore have
been tbelr pulley to allow tno facta regarding these
acceptances to come out at tbe various creditors'
meetings now being held. They have not followed
tint policy, and what Is thu consequence? ])(«.
trust ha* been fostered by all torts of wild reports
and exaggerations.
The Chicago banks report a lljbt dsmond for dls*
connts and decreasing country orders for currency.
Hate* of discount are (*&10 per cent, with the
Tut Ik of transactions at 708 per cent. Tbe bank
clearings were $3, KUO, 000.
The feature of tbe local market for securities
has been a strong Eastern demand fot ourtnunlcl*
pal (Minds. The floating supply of Chicago City
and Cook County bonds has been about all absorbed,
und at prices in some cases above tbe regular quo*
(aliens. Tho price of Lincoln Park bonds has ad*
v.mci'il within a few weeks nnder tbe Influence of
free purchases from 08 to 101* bid.
The stock market apparently took the view that,
as n 4 i>er cent stock, Northwest common woe
eclllDir too high. Tho opening quotation was 47%,
Jrom which point the price dropped to 47 jj,
where U closed. Th* preferred advanced M to
77'i. The dividends paid on the common stock In
recent years In December have been, UK per cent
In December, IMTd; ft per cent in December, 1870;
4 percent In December, 1800; and S per cent In
December, INUS. The earning* for November
were the largest of any single month of tbe history
of the toad. The official report glvea tbe Increase
of earnings for tbe fourth week at $54,800; for tbe
entire mouth, SIU7,OOU; gross earnings for
November, 1878, |i,40U,000: for November,

the best season for the farmers In nineteen year*,
or elnce 1850. Corn Is very plenty at 60e a
bn. Sweet potatoes are not much In demand
at 35c a bn. The very best sugar-cane sirnn is
offered at 25c per gallon, with no demand. The
cotton-crop is very good. One of enr best and
largest planters said to me: 'The price is of no
consequence,—this year the large quantity will
fully make up for the low prices; and as lons as I
can sell for 8c I am satisfied, and can make plenty
of money with bacon atso6e oer fc and corn at 50e

From the Ist of November to the 20th the bullion
slilsmenla from the Bodia summed no $47,423,113,
and from the Standard $30,311.23. The total
bullion shipment* from the Bodie mine, the first of
which occurred .Tuly 00. to date, earn up $046, •
481.U5. The Standard baa shipped since April,
1877. $1,637,080.48. “In a month the district,**
says the Bodls Standard, “will have one, and
possibly two, more dividend-paying mines, and
then bullion production will bo begun in earnest.*'

non-forfeiture law would give him. The caah sur
render value, however, which the Company pro
pose* to give him,- Is less than one-half what It
oneht to be. and in regard to thla Mr. Ripley
oomolslns Justly.
The “fourto one" tetter, which Induced Mr.
Ripley to dlscontinuehiatusurance, was calculated
to mislead, from ihe fact that it omitted to take
into consideration the large amount of the receipts
which hare gone Into thn ansetsand ia now actually
on band, and It Included but a few year*, whorena
life-insurance exhibits ought to extend over a
long period in order to show fatr comparisons.
The figures of the Mutual Life are not before the
writer, hut, if they were, they would be of little
value on account of the crooked methods of book
keeping practiced by that Company in ficutlouslv In
creasing its receipts by counting In ail the dividends
paid for tbe last ten years. Yet a substantially
correct idea of the results of its business fortho
last thirty years would not fall very greatly below
the percentages of another old company, whose
eperaliona from May, 1846, to January, 1870, are
fully shown na follows:
Premiums received.... 1*4.900,0(0

For every $4 received, this Company has nlrcadv

dividends, 8?. 10. It holda In sound assets for fa*
tare payments ss they will fall doe, $1.50, and
baa expended for the procuring of business and
management of Us funds, 40 cents.

already been relumed looollcy-holders In the pay*
meat of loeece and dividend*; $1.49 cent* are now
on band, and 42 cents have been need In expenses
of management and taxea.
The Injustice or the Idea that only 81 flndi Its
wav back to policy-holders out of every|4 paid In
I* dearly apparent when all the facts are taken to
gether. It should be especially remembered that
about 37 per centof the receipts Is now on hand,

AN OPHN LKTTBB TO PRESIDENT WINSTON.
D*vxsroßT. la., Dee. o. Frederic S. Wimton,
iT*?.—Dear Sin: It cannot be possible that your
quick discernment has failed to note the nature
and extent of the remonstrance on the part of ool*
Icyholder* against your present admloUtralion of
the affaire of the “Mntaal Life.” While you may
czerclae a somewhat antocratlo control orer the
two component parts of the premiums which you
receive, via.: tbs Death Fund and Expense Mar*
gins, which constitute the contributions of the to*
anted to the Company, at anlnturane* company,
your administration of the “Solf-Insurance" or
“Trust Fund” confines your action to the limits
of a custodian of private (amis aepoiited for a
specific and previously definitely ascertained pnr*
pose, both as to nature and amount.
The institution over which you preside la dnal in
ttanstnreand composition—,one portion being no
••insurance Company." the other a “Savings
Bank." Of the contribntione to the insurance
company, you may nse such portion as may be
found necessary to pay the death claims and legit
imate expenses of management, limited only by
the honest Judgment of a disinterested sod fair*
minded man and agent.
As to the contributions to tho “Savings Bank,"
you art not at Mtrty to makt any eholtt. Your
duty U plainly btjort you. You are to receive
them and keen them safely Invested, In accordance
with the theory of the business and the mandates
of Iho law. In snch securities as the law directs, for
the solo and only purpose of paying the claims of
the depositors.
While the Insurance la In force the function of
the ••Self-Insurance' 1 Is solely to diminish the
amount at risk and to apply toward the payment of
the claim under the policy which contributed It
should the death of the party occur during the
term covered by the policy, or to the payment of
the entire amoent stipulated In the contract abonld
ha live through the term. At anr time during the
tern the (htory and Iht fate separately and point*
edly recognise It os belonging to him, as does tbe
Company at tbe end of the term.
Between those two Intereals-the “Insurance"
done by the Company and the “self-insurance"
done by the policyholder—there Is built up an Im
pa«ssble wall, so to speak.
Into ths domain or tho Insurance Department
you may enter and dispose of the funds, limited
only by a wise discretion: Into the domain of the
“self-insurance "no ruthless hand may Intrude
Itself save to dispense Us funds In tho exact pro
portion to the owners of it that each have contrib
oled to It, He who lays his hand upon a dollar of
this fund for any other purposes, save that for
which It wss there deposited. Is as much a robber
as he who, nndor the dark canopy of heaven st
night or broad glare of the noonday sun. presents
hie revolver to tho traveler, bidding him “stand
and deliver."
Specious pretext or flne-epun theory will not
avail to wash to wltlieneis tbe bands guilty of such
ruthless Invasion of the sacred domain of the trust
funds of prospective widowhood and orphanage.
Punishment swift and diro will ne measured out
to him who thus assumes to nctray. under what
ever formW excuse, so sacred ana holy a trust as
this.
Uo admonished In good season, and desist from
the accomplishment of your purpose. Remember
that, while tbe outside world has an Indirect Inter
est la the faithful performance of duty by every
man, which shall conduce to tbe elevation of tho
tone of business morality, the pulley-holders them
selves have a dirtet Interest In tbe form of dollar*
and cents, and that whits you may defy Itae outside
world, there is ne hope of escaping the righteous
and fUry Indignation of tbe policy-holders them

It le suggested that the catting of rail-freights
might vastly be Hopped by falling back on the lines
which take produce out of this State and say that
the cutting la done hy thels connections. They are
responsible, and could be reached by the Ware
house law of this State, whatever the Commission
ers may think to the contrary.
There le already a anag In the matter of commie
alone. A local firm announce* that It has contracts
oat (o handle train all through this winter for cer
tain patties at teas rates than those recently adopt
ed, and Inquires what ahall ba done about it The
role la Imperative that parlies accepting leas than
the tariff ratee shall be subject to discipline by the
Board.
“1 admit! am In with Jim Keene aa much as
any one, hut I am net allowed to say anything," is
the way the thing was stated by a would-be big
man on the Board the other day, tie would be
thought to walk In the abaduw of the wheat
Koen-lg.
The Registrar of Grain In this city le revising his
statistics of grain now In store, by comparing them
with returns specially made by the warehousemen
at hit request. The statement to be published next
week will contain (he revised work.
ftBI.IOU.OCO
A redaction of 20040 per cent In the feee for
Inspecting provisions It announced by the Chief
Inipcctor.
The leading produce mirkett were generally
itetdy yeiterdty, there being little lluctiuitlon In
prices. Barley was firmer, and hogs declined at a
consequence of diminished demand on account of
the strike In some of the packinghouses. This,
with unfavorable advices from England, tended to
make provisions easier, but they were relatively
firm and more active. There was Utile change In
the quotations on wheat, corn, oats, or rye.
Jobbers of staple and fancy dry goods were not
doing a very brisk business, the demand being
restricted to small ordera of a miscellaneous char*
acter for tbe resssorlment of stock. Prices
remained steady. Groceries were in good de
mam), and ruled steady and firm. Coffees
were moving quite freely, and a lib
eral Inquiry for sirups, molasses, spices, and
teas was also noted. No changes were de
veloped In tbe bntter and cheese msrkots.
A good demand for the former existed,
bnt tbe Infer was doll and heavy. Dried trulls
were quoted os before. In the fish market there
was no chsnee. Cannsd goods met with a liberal
demand, and peaches and all small fruits were very
firm. Oils, paints, and colors were quoted aa be
fore. Tobacco, leather, cool, and wood were also
unchanged. Bagging was quiet, and grain bags
were quoted a trifle lower. atSJe for Btark, 224 c
for Brighton, and 10c for American.
Trade at the lumber yards continues fair, con
sidering tbe lateness of too season, a good share of
the business being with the West. Prices remain
as they have been for tome time past. At the
cargo cocks the offerings were small, and nothing
of Importance was done. Wool, bay, and broom
corn were unchanged. Seeds were quiet, timo
thy being firm, snd other kinds rather easy.
Tba bide market was fairly active at tbe given
prices. Potatoes were salable snd firm under
meagre offerings, the cooler weather making
shippers afraid to forward stock. Poultry was In
hotter request and firmer, under rather moderate
supplies of fresh fowls. Tbe old slock Is disap
pearing. The weather Is cooler, snd the week
closes with a better outlook for poultry end game.
Hail freights were nominal at tbe advance of last
week. Tbe rates are:

CATTLK—For fat gralea—cauls good enough to
send Ksst—there was a very good demand, a very mod
erate supply, and a firm market. Other' descriptions
were as dull as on either of the previous days of the
week, and even the extreme low prices of Thursday
wore with difficulty sustained. The receipts, as will
be seen by reference to the foregoing table, were light
by comparison, but there were stale cattle enough to
swell the supply to large dimension* and preclude the
iMissiuiuty uf any recovery In pr res. At on the earlier
davsof the week, there was Inquiry for export rattle,
and the few suitable lots offered were taken at full
figures. Thn extreme range of sales wa* 61.73rg4.01,
