We had hoped that cur city would, to a great extent,
escape the infection OF shinpIssters, owing to the Legis-
lafure having authorized the Bank Of Tennessee to issue
notes Of denominations less than a dollar, but that bank
IS either opposed to the measure and resolved to restrict
the issue Of change notes as much as possible, or it is re
solved that Memphis shall only TO the smallest possible
extent be beneittedby the measure, for during the two
months that has elapsed since the passage Of the law. only
the paltry amount of S2O5) has reached this city from the
bank in Nashville. We expect t. sec change notes issued
by the city very soon. Wehsye y "a some Ettls six by
two and a1half blanks which have been got up, Lsuring
to the holder sums Of 1--WE and ten cents, etc, on the faith
of the city Of Memphis, and conclude they viii be filed
mp and put in circulation as soon as Council has given It's
assent to a measure now before if.
We remind the Chamber Of Commerce thaton Monday
the 18th Of February, the Planters Convention Of the
South meets in this city, and planters look to the Cham
Der TO take some action in the matter.
