FISAScIAL--Goid opened in New York yester-
terday At 1861 and closed at noon at 1914 But
little IS doing IN gold here and the buying rate Is
1856 and selling at lss.
There is no change in the rates for Bank of Ten
nessee. There is no demand and but little offer
ing. II is bought by brokers at IS. and held at
40. though some are holding slightly higher.
Union and Planters Bank are firm at previous
quotations. t4t
Southern money is dull and decidedly lower.
By reference 10 Mr. MARK's advertisement. it
will be seen that the rates for nearly all Of the
South Carolina and Georgia Baaks have been
lowered. We understand that there has been a
similar decline in all Of the Eastern and Southern
markets.
CorrOx.-Under the influence ofNes York and
Liverpool adTices given in our last report, plant
ers here have withdrawn for the present, from the
market. We could hear Of only three bales
changing hands on yesterday--two at 81 and one
at s5c; the best quality would command 36c.
6RocEnEEs.-The market has been little more
active this week than last, but no very large in
crease. Our merchants are still complaining, to
some extent. Of the dullness of the trade. The
