attention especially of country merchants
to the superior facilities of the JOURNAL

GENERAL REMARKs.-The past week has
been one of considerable animation in
mercantile circles of the city. Were it not
for the unusually low stage of the river,
which has almost suspended navigation,
the Fall trade wouId be fairly opened and
our merchants have all they could do.
The quotations of merchandise are un-
usually steady. Not a single important
change has occurred during the week.
There is some firmness in produce, with a
tendency to higher prices.
There is i'm some sections of the West
well credited report of shortness of the
corn crop. We are gratified. however, to
learn that a fair average crop will be rails
ed in m ost of the river border eounties OF
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Owing
to the fine yield In the Southern States the
demand frosa that quarter will not be
near as large as it was last year, and the
high price calculated upon by the short
crop men may not he fully realized.
FINANCIAL The money market con-
tinues stringent, and none but strictly
legitimate paper, and from COED
depositors, is taken by the baniks
at the customary rates of discounts.
The tightness in the money market may
be attributed in partsto the preparation on
the part OF the National Banks for their
quarterly reports, to be made early in De-
tober. 1t is presumed that after the psibli-
cation of their reports there Will be some
ease in the money circles; but until then
applicants will bear liz mind that their
demands are likely to be postponed.

ROBERT A. MOON,
To the Cotton Planters Of West Tennessee, Alabama, Missis- sippi and Arkansas:

The undersigned respectfully tefders his services as agent for the sale of your cotton in this city, and for the purchase of your sup plies. The duftrtunsfe terrnfnatiot of the late war, which so materially affected tho best interests of the South, has also had it's effect upon the Commission Business of this city, as transacted between planter and mere bant.
 You doubtless we'll remember with whaa per tinacity (previous to the w1r) amounting in some instances to annoyance, you were soli- cited for your business at the rate of fifty cents per bale commission, free of drayage, and stored for twelve months without charge
 Then Gas will be again) the producer was the ruling element, and high rents. rich landlords and merchants were the result of planters patronage, No people or occupation hove been more seriously pfostrated than planters and planting, and none go much deserve to be fostered and aided in their unfortunate changed condition. How that aid SO .much needed has been meted out you cpine too well know. 0nerous government taxes in general, and special tax upon your leading production, Cotton, large profits you have had to pay upon supplies furnished, commissions on sales ranging from S. 50 to s per bale monthly storage ct exorbitant prices and other expenses, os per reference to your ac- cohnt sales. ts sum total win leave you but little if anything upon which to. rebuild your shattered fortunes, G to compete with the new order of affairs-free laber When withdrew from the Cotton and Commission Business in 1860, private reasons hen led me to believe that would never engage in it again. Tbe solicitations of many friehds that were former patrons, and desire to promote the interest of the planting cofimunity, SO far as my feeble efforts can do so. and the apparent want of gratitude exhibited. to a community that in times past tended 60 ma terially to the prosperity of Memphis and it's mercantile community, has determineds me again to offer my services in tue capacity as stated The reduced stock of cottons in the United States and slort sudplies in the hands of New England manufacturers has caused some advance in ppices from the late depres- sion, hence early sales may be prudent and remunerative; such was the case the past tive seasons, and many planters have had cause to regret the acting upon the too common prac tice of holding and drawing upon their cot tons. l would advise no planter to send for yard his cotton unless he wished it sold upon the first active market. It can be held at home much cheaper than in Memphis. My charges for selling cotton will be One Dollar per bale. Assurances effected in all cases if not instructed to the contrary. Shall buy your supplies from wholesale houses, giving you the benefit of same. In short, by strict attention to all the departments of our busi- ness, hope to merit large share of. .patron- age.
