FINANCIAL.
Gold waa sold at par In New York. In Chicago,
New York gold exchange was 100 ft, and gold coin
100 ft.
.The dissatisfaction of the bankers with the de
termination of the Secretary of the Trestnry to
pay debt-interest at Chicago after Jan. 1 Id green
beckaopcoln chbcks.does not abate. The banker*
had their bonds registered with interest payable at
Chicago for the parposa of being able to get the
gold here. They object to payment in legal
tenders or in checks that can be converted Into
gold only by traneportatlon to New York. The
nmimnt involved is ao small that it seems hardly
worth Secretary Sherman’s while to reverse the
practice of tho Department. The amount of coin
paid on qnartertv-inierest checks last year by
nil tho Treasury offices was $lB. ROD,OOO, of which
sl7, (>OO,OOO waspAldat New York, Boston, Bal
timore, and Philadelphia, leaving only $1,000,000
to be disbursed at toe Western and Southern Bnb-
Treasuries.
The bankers of Cincinnati are as mneb disturbed
as those of Chicago by the Instruction* of Secreta
ry Sherman to the Snb-Trcasnnea, outside of New
York, to pay In greenback* or New York gold
check* alter Jan. 1 the debt-interest that has
hitherto been payable In the coin Itself. The
Cashier of tho First National Bank nf Cincinnati
has written to Secretary Sherman as follows:
If this plan 1* carried out I beg to ear that it will
create a good deal of unpleasant feeling In this
community among people who will at first desire
gold. I trust that >uu will give instruction* Inal
will enable its to collect cuupana and. interest
checks as usual. In gold. It la not expected that
the demand will continue for any length of time,
hut 1 beg to suggest that In oar Judgment it snuuld
Le fremy met tn tho unUot.
Secretary Bherman's discontinuance of the prac
tice .pf keening separate accounts of coin end
greenbacks It Interpreted ass device for keeping
the public ignorant how resumption proceeds. The
coin balance might be redneed $100,000,000, end
the currency balance correspondingly Increased,
without Its being known.
Two interesting minor incidents on the day gold
sold nt par were that on that day tbe last page was
reached or tne record-book In which tbe gold sales
nt the Stock Exchange were entered, and that on
the same day tbe Government receipts from Inter
nal taxes In currency and customs duties In coin
were exactly equal.
Tb» Cincinnati JSnqufrtr gives an editorial place
to the statement that one of the editor* of a
prominent New York dally paper, and a great
imillonlst, declared at a dinner party Thursday
night last that the Government would be compell
ed U> suspend specie-payments before thslOtbof
January; that a combination had been made by
tbe banks to take all the gold Mr. Hhonnan had tn
the Treasury, The story la absurd, not because tbs
gold could nut be drawn out. If tbe combination bad
tho greenbacks, but because tbe greenback* for
such a rno cannot be bad In New York. All the
Clearlos-Uouse banks of New York bold a total of
only g-10.-ITS,£OO In greenbacks. Thslo green
backs are more desirable to tbtm than the gold
wonld be.
Une of onr Chicago banks tried the experiment
of paving out a email snm of gold. Various par
tie* to whom U, was offered related It, on the
ground of tt« inconvenience. Finally, a young
man who had never seen gold in circulation took
it fur the novelty of the thing.
The strength of the Government-bond market
anil (ho firmness of prices, except! where affected
by refunding operations, are the best test of tba con
fidence with which resumption Is awaited. The
Secretary of tho Treasury has full power
to sell au unlimited amount of 5 per
Cent bond* at par to execute the Kesumptlon act
Tho C ner cents ore now selling at lOOftdMOOH.
They are alendy at that price, and have shared the
upward movement with the rest of the Hat. If
there were the breath of a suspicion that the resump
tion of apecls-paymenta were to bo imperiled by
nay combination or run, and that the tiecretnry
might have to resort to bis power lo sell 4, 4)t, or
even 5 uer cent bonds at par, prices would infalli
bly buve indicated It
A veteran Chicago financier declare! the only
thin? to mnr his perfect fault that reiumotion
will be successful ii that everybody la saying It will
surely succeed. Ilia experience has been that It la
usually auto to bot against tbs crowd.
The call for the last outstanding 6*2os of 1805 had

The 5-20 sof 1805 were not quoted. The 6*2os of
18U8 were off I,—being quoted at 1084 bid. The
local market waa fairly active, with moat of the

There was a fair supply onlyof grain and previa*

weaker, partly became the Dank of England did

downward at this time of year, and sterling baa
tweu rated so high aa to make a decline natural.
The posted rates were 4834 and 4884, with actual

Such an uraer does not appear to have been lamed
yet, though the officials have talked in
that direction for several days past, but they are
undoubtedly tneouraglng Eastern shipments.
Arrangement* are now made to shlo oqt
a nther large quantity of Cl, 1). & q. com, and
alee to store lo other lionaos the surplus gram.
Some of them have plenty of room, and to spare.
It was reported yeaterday that about 1,000 car
loads of gram are on the track between this city
and Aurora, the fact being partially due to the
breaking down of an engine, which caused a tem
porary blockade yesterday.
It is reported that more can than niualareunder
orden to come out West to carry wheat to the sea
board. Boms people are (alt of confidence that a
considerable percentage of onr present stocks will
be shipped East between now and the end of
January.

The leading produce-markets were rather Irregn *
lar In a email way yeaterday. Wheat was active and
firmer, corn steady and rather tame, while provls*
lona were active, with only a moderate volume of
trading, and bogs were steady. Tba current of
business waa somewhat unsettled by the rumors
that the catting of rail freights from this city to tbs
■caboard la about to be stopped, while Utile doubt
exists that it will be continued outside of Chicago,
The volume of grain-receipts here was smaller yes*
terday than the avorago, understood to be chiefly m
consequence of recent bad weather, and grain ia
piling up less rapidly than heretofore, with a bot*
tor outward movement.
Jobbers of dry goods were doing a vary moder
ate business. The demand waa largely In the
shape of mall orders, very few buyers being pres
ent In person. Groceries remained wlikont quot
able change. There was a libera) movement for
season, and moat lines were steadily held. Dried
frulta were qnoted unchanged. Domestics are re
ceiving more attention than heretofore, hot the
demand is still chiefly centered la foreign descrip
tions. Fish remain Inactive. Hotter met with a
a good inquiry at former quotations. Cheese was
quiet and unchanged. Prices of bagging, leather,
tobacco, coal, and wood ranged as before. Oils
remained quiet and generally steady.
Tbe lumber market was quiet and steady. The
severe cold prevented the reedy filling of orders,
and tbe dumaod appears to be felling off, bnt
deslera anticipate an Improvement when tbe conn*
try roads get bard and smooth and the srsalbor
moderates. Tbo wool, bn>om*core, and bop roar*
ksU wore quiet, and a light trade is expected
till after the holidays. Tbs ales uf seeds were
limited. Inconsequence of tbe mssgre offerings.
Potatoes were quiet and firm. The receipts are
light and tho stock here Is small. Qruon fruits
wers steady. Pew orders were filled, owing to tbs
culd weather. Poultry was salable to tbs city boy

The New York Iltrald has the following from
Dattimore, dated Dee. 16:
Collector Thoma* returned from Waahlnrton to*
night, after harlot had a long consultation with the
AMlitanr. secretary of the Treasury In regard to the
communication issued from the Department calling
hi* attention to the new law of England regulating the
Import of American rattle. Mr. Thoma* aay* that Mr.
r reach Informed Kin* ilutdnce that letter wa* written
the Department ua« recolred further and more explicit
communication* from the Engllsn anthorltle* on the
•übjeet which materially alter the oapectuf affair*.
The English officials date that the law simply require*
American cattle to be Imported Into England upon the
■ante term* that English cattle ore Imported Into
America, and uthalawof thl* country requiring
n certificate u to the eound condition of the cat*
He applle* only to cattle for breeding. It ft
considered that the same I* the eaae In England. Whllo
the number of cattle exported from thl* country to
England for aieiiihiering Is eery large, comparatively
tew for hrecdlng are shipped there: but Mr. French
aalrl If It Iwcame absolutely necessary to have an In
spector he thought It wai entirely proper that the Col
lector of the Don whence the cattle are shipped should
detail one of bis subordinate officer* for tbeduty. since
receiving tbo letter from the Department Collector
Thomaahubeen looking Into the (Bate ami Municipal
law* which might hear upon thl* subject, and Dud* that
no provision has been mada for the Inspection of cattle
Inthomannerrequlred. Under It* charter theettyhaa
the right to appoint officer* to make Inipectlonsuf all
kinds. It I* doubtful, however, whether the city could
charge a fee for the Inspection of cattle for shipment
to foreign ports lathi* would beta violation of the
United State* Constitution, which reserve* to the Fed
cr*i (internment alone the right to make any kind of
charge* upon exports
ROO PRODUCTS— Were lea* active, and averaged
eaaler, about loatng tbe advance of Wedneaday after
noon In tbe apeculatlve article*. Liverpool wa* quoted
lower, and hoga were la larger eupply here, though
ateady. The trading waa chiefly la fnturea, and the
easier feeling aeemed to be oniony with reference to
freight change*.

Fakximotom. 111.. Dec. Ifi.-Now ibat adultera
tion of angara la before tbe public, would It oo; be
well for tone Cbentet to tell u wbat ertlclre or
food tin reader* unsafe! Meet bouMkeepere know
that fruit and tomatoes, or anything soar, should
not be cooked In tinware, but many of then eup*
poae tbe danger la to the dleb and not to tbe cater.
Until lately I never auapectod danger In leltlag
milk eund In pane. Pleaae let ua have a full Mat
of all tbe ertlclea of food that tinware should not
be used in tbe preparation thereof. Also, le it safe
to uee canned beans and oyster* canned In tint
Ueeuectfully, kins. L. Q. Suvusa
[A lady In reply to tbe aboveqaery. remarked
tliat the bad not need tin for cooking adds for
twenty-lire year*. Bbe cook* everything of
that nature In porcclaln-llued ketllea, or atoue
ware milk-pant. True, they aomctitava K et
broken, but abe cooaldere iba health of tbe
fatally of far greater Importauce tban a ft*
milk-pant. Tbe observation of iboee wbote at
tention baa been directed to tbla aubjoct demon
atratea the fact that nothing of an acid nature
ebould ever be cooked or aland In tin. ine
proposition that any alimentary aubatance that
will injure tin will cauae auttldent oxidlxallon
of tbe veaael to render tbe food cooked hi it uu
wboleeome tituat commend iiaell to the better
judgment of every reflecting mind. It haa not
boon fully demouatrated .whether aweet apple*,
peere, euro, bcaue, oyatera, etc., will oxldlxe Uu
at all; but If tlmv do. they can atfect it eo little
that probably it may be coueidcred aafe to uae

be found. While frealt milk will ceuae oxldlxe
