tflli aVcEASD TRADE. Advance in the Rates of Discount in Chicago. Another Break in Stock)—Market lor Governments and Foreign Exchange. The Produce Markets AcUre—Proilslous Irregularly Stronger* with a Very Good Demand* Wheat firmer Early* but Cloied Easier—Other Grain Steady. FINANCIAL. The monetary sUnotton at Chicago (■ quite the reyeree of that at New Fork or London. In both these places great case prevails In the dis count market. We hear of o case at New York in which no more than 8 per cent per annum could be obtained for a six-months* loan. The Bank of England has recently made successive reductions In Us rate of discount, which, after the Glasgow Bank failure, wont up toil percent. Yesterday the rate was put down to 3 per cent. In Chicago the money market has been crowing more active. Tbe rale for loans has advanced. Call loans, which have been as low as r> per cent, and till recently have been 0 and 7 per cent, are now marked up to 8. A call loan was taken by one of the Chicago banks yesterday at 7# per cent, but subsequent transactions were at 8 per cent. The Board of Trade demand has been heavy, In consequence of the Immense accumulations of grain here. Country banks have not been borrowing much. The currency movement In and out remains light. Bank clearings were $2,500,000. Transactions In Government bonds were limit ed, but prices generally moved upward. The 0s of 1881 remain steady at 106#: the 5-20 sof ISG7 advanced #, to 101#; the 5-20sof 1868#, to 102#; the KMOs to IW#; the new 5s of I SSI #, to 105#; Iho 4#s #, to 105#; the 4 per cents #, to SB%. Gold Is In uomluol demand at 100# In green back. In the foreign-exchange market the offerings of bills were light, In conseuucticc of the check iu the export movement, uud the small ordeis from the other side for grain uml provisions. Sterling grain nnd commercial bills were 482%. French bills were 521%. The actual rotes for sterling were 485 and 488, and the posted rates 485% nnd 488%. Bankers’ bills on Paris were 619% and 510%; Antwerp, 520 and 517%; com mercial, 528%; llelehmark, 95; commercial, IM%; mitlders on Holland, 40% and 40%; com* tnerclal, 89%. Hio noteworthy rise of consols from W% to 90 MO, and the reduction of the Bank of En gland rate of discount to 8 per cent, are sterns of Improvement In the British financial situation. The bullion In tlto Bank of England increased $1,450,000 daring the post week, and the pro portion of the bank's reserve to Us liability went up to 80% per cent 'flic Bank of Franco gained over $1,000,000 In specie during the week. The change for tho better ot London and the reduction of the bank rate were fore shadowed by the London TVmes of Jan. 10: For same time past the Dank of England has been doing next to no discount business at all, and tin* rates In the open market, where a keen com petition Is maintained for the few bills offering, have receded to about p«r cent, which is I l * below the bank's nominal discount rate. As the bunk’s reserve Is Improving and is expected to con tinue to improve, aided by the $405,000 In gold which is looked tor at the end of the week, them is good reason to believe (hat the Directors may decide to-morrow to lower their rate, if nnthlnu happens la the meantime to shake their conn douce la a continuance of the present (inlet state of financial affaire. 8o far the reports of the bank* for the past half-year, as a rule, are satis factory, and the position, os a whole, Is much sounder. The proportion of lltjnid assets Is greater, It may bu assumed, In all caies than It was before tho late difficulties commenced; and this means more money available, so that thorn would appear to be no longer any reason, looked at from the point of view of supply ami demand, why the bank should continue to remain so far above the real value of money. Silver at London, which a few days ago ad vanced to 51 pence, bos fallen again, uml In quoted at CO pence. The agents of the Herman Uovernment refused to soli at 50 pence beloru the recent line.

The condition of the stock market may bo In ferred from the drop of 7 per ceut in North western common tn one hour. The opening quotations showed firmness, and the market ad vanced, but later (n the day there was a sharp break, though It wan not so severe ss that of Tuesday. The lowest prices of the day were those made at the close, but Northwest com mon was an exception, os It rebounded after the drop from 03% to 50, and gained 8% by the close. The market Is viewed with that wide rorlance of opinion that usually prevails tu Wall street and Us suburbs. The bulls point to the success of resumption, the Inflation of the ' currency, the effect of tbo Tension bill In letting loose |50,UX) I 000 to 1100,000,000 of money, ami the returning prosperity of the country. Hut opposed to them Is an equally confident 4>arty who are betting on thu decreased earnings of the roads, the damage done by thu winter storms, and thu fact that thu rise In stocks has already continued so long that It may be fairly considered overdone. Tlio view is held by the first class of operators that the severity of thu recent fluctuations U duo to the death-struggles of the bears in un attempt tu beat back the rising tldu of better times and better prices. Tlhto is one feature about the market on which observers agree. There is a largo class of invest ors who are scanning thu stock list for invest ment stocks. They want something bettortban 4 percents, or railroad bonds, which have all gone very high. The buyers of railroad bonds easily become buyers of railroad slocks. These Investors are putting away the slocks they buy, and so adding to the strength of the market.

The friends of "repatc” on the Board yester day evidently thought they wore voting to carry out the advice of Hamlet to Ids mother,—to Throw sway the baser part of it. And live the porer with the other hair. The clerks arc now ruled off the Board by a majority of 232, und can In future act only us messengers. It Is believed by many of the older members that tbls Is an extreme measure which followed the other extremeof too crvutlatitudu In the issue of clerks' tickets, and Unit It will not be found to wonc well. A great many members are unused to active trading, but may Hod less dinicully In recommencing if the at tendance is materially lessened by the with drawal of the clerks. Some of the members who have hitherto bad little to do believe that their business will be much Increased by the change, and many claim that there will now be ample room fur the Board without the proposed uxtentfon. Very few of the members seem to have con sidered |lhu question, What will become of the clerks) There Is little doubt that not a few of them will become members, and the result may be a great Increase In the value of membership tickets; they have recently sold rather low. Tim leading produce markets were generally firmer yesterday, with mure doing in the aggre gate, though some departments wore quiet, barley being dull. There was a very good de mand' for provisions, wheat, corn, and oats, which woa believed to be due to less scarcity of frvlght-rodro, the belter weather of the post few days having been favorable to the movement ot cars. Tim news from other points was not of a marked charade! In cither direction, except that wheat was Una In Milwaukee. There was a moderate city ami country de maiul fur staple and fancy dry-goods, and (he market maintained tho steady tone heretofore characterizing It. Groceries were active far the time of year, and were firm generally. Coffees were moving very freely, and were were llrmvr than at tho ocginlng of the week. Sugars also displayed Increased strength. In the dried-fruit, canned-goods, ami flsli markets no notable changes were developed. Butter is In better supply, and Is easier.
