Uncurrent money is dun and rates are rather
! lower
Bank Of Tennessee Is taken at p cent?
Planters Bank is dull At S. while Union Bank
Is very dun at 20.
Southern money generally Is dull and in no
demand.
TIE New York Cos1scrcioIs money article Of
the 1lth, says The stock market continues dull
but without any accompanying weakness. At
the morning board prices were generally firm.
Old j2Os are y better; second series, 7-30s 15c.
God stocks are rather more active. and in some
cases higher. Dowineville continues very active;
there are large bids at advance prices. Sales were
made at $50 &c. au advance of 6 per cent upon
late prices.
The loan market is dull. Very little money is
wanted for street purposes, and the rate on call
loan is steady cts per cent, with the exception at
6 per cent on the discount market. The chief &C
tvity is in grocers paper. Of which there is good
deal offering at Sal per cent. Gold is quiet with
more sellers than buyers. There is very little buy
ing for Wednesdays steamer.
Late advances in the premium has brought a
good amount Of coin from the interior, and gold
sent south several months ago for the purchase
of cotton, is now finding its way back 10 the cen
ter. Foreign exchange is duh and weak under
the improved financial advices from Europe
There Is little demand for time bills. Quota
tons generally fraction lower, but remitters
appear disposed to defer purchase in expectation
Of still lower quotations.
CoTToN.-We were pleased to note a decided
improvement in the market on yesterday, with a
liberal business With the small balance on
hand and the unfavorable prospect for this year
crop it is likely to continue in demand at present
or advanced figures unless checked by future
warlike disturbances in Europe. The sales on
yesterday ranged from 30@33 cents according to
quality.
GRocERIEs.-We regret to say there has been no
change in our grocery trade for the better during
the last week. The supply Of corn on market here
is ample, about 10000 sacks having been received
the last few days 1t is estimated there is suth-
cheney TO meet the demand till new corn comes.
There has been an unusual stiffness in bacon, and
the lat inflated prices can hardly be maintained
and realizing this, holders may make slight con-
cessions to reduce their rtock on hand. The mar
ket continues fair for fine brands of -four, while
thu demand for the lower grades has greatly fall
len Off Coffee and sugar continues firm at for
mer rates, and no advance is anticipated by hol-
ders or buyers. Candles and soap have been in
request at former prices The demand for Liquors
to supply The Southern trade has been good, while
for the LEGAL trade the request il but light. We
reproduce our quotations.
