1t will be noticed that there has been a
very heavy advance in Tennessee bends in
New York. On the 18th inst. the old issue
sold at Csc and the new at 64gc. On the
18th inst, only four days later, sales were
made of the old at re and Of the new at
72l@73c. For several days the new issue
Of bonds have been quoted at higher
price than the old. The reason for this is
found in,lhe following statement contained
in the financial report of the New York
Post of Saturday afternoon:
HIn addition to political considerations
these bonds are favorably affected by the
the probability that the Legislature will
in November authorize the sale of the de-
faulting railroads in that State. Aswas
the case in Missouri, the purchasers of
these roads will be obliged to pay forahem
in the bonds of the State. With this ac-
ton of the Legislature the State debt will
be reduced from eight 10 ten millions, and
the credit Of the State accordingly fn-
proved"
1t is the policy of parties who may pur-
chase these railroads, in the event Of sale,
to pay for them in the new bOndF, about
which capitalists think there may hereafter
arise some question which will affect their
value. The purchases of new bonds last
week were very heavy, but as there is
eight decline this week, it is probable the
demand is pretty well supplied. Yester-
days quotations show that the new bonds
had fallen below the old. ...I
The New York Post, of the afternoon of
the 1ah inst., says:
dThe feature of the market has been the
scarcity of cash gold, for the use of which
as high as I of one per cent. per day has
been paid. The lowest commission paid
by borrowers was 3-64ths of one per cent.
This indicates that the amount of coin
available for gold exchange transactions is
unusually small and under the control of
few persons, while the demand for tempo
rary use in making deliveries on specula-
tive sales is remarkably large. At the gov
eminent sale to-day, bids for S., l25, 900 !
were filed; of the 100000 offered, $780, |
900 we're sold at 1905, and an equal |
amount at 1878. |
"The money market is amply supplied !
at six and seven per cent. We hear, how
ever, of exceptional loans on government

Accident tn the mimi Ward.

While caring for some of his cattle last
Monday night, Mr.. ThOs. Hudson, formerly
a Councilman from the Ninth ward, was
so unfortunate as to rupture blood-vessel
by leaping from a fence. 1t was at first
supposed that the injury was of very Sc
rious character, but We were glad to learn
that last evening the symptoms had as
sumed a more favorable form, and that Mr..
Hudson wonld probably be about again in

The New York Journal Of Commerce of
the 18th inst. says of the trade in cotton
goods:
The business of the week in brown cottons has
been limited, but with few exceptions there is
no essential change IN values, and quotations
are generally maintained. The stock in first
hands Is comparatively small; holders are not
disposed 20 press sales in the present condition
OF the market, and buyers make their necessary
selections for current trade with mere apparent
confidence in the stability of prices. Co.,.
The demand for bleaehed goods has been less
active, but leading makes are held at steady
prices; It Is generally conceded that the lowest
figures for the present have probably been
reached, and there appears TO be less hesitaney
on the part OF buyers TO lay in supplies for as
sOrtment at current rates. In seVen-eighths
goods the stock Is little larger than for a few
weeks past, and upon these n slight concession is
made IN some cases to move considerable lots.
The demand for prints is moderately active
for new patteTns Of seasonabls eOlOrings at the
quotations.. but past styles Of inferior designs
move slowly even at reduction of half cent
to one cent per.yard. Buyers are unusually dis
eliminating in their selections and only the best
effects are readily distributed
The stock of delaines in first hands is extreme
~ limited, and choice styles command fully one
cent per yard advance upon the earlier prices.

and bat a limited audience assembled at
Masonic Temple TO hear Prot, Jones on
the "Msund builders of Tennessee" The
subject is very interesting, and DIR. Jones
has expended upon it great deal of re-
search and study. A large number of
cranial specimens, and relics of the abO-
rigenes of this region were exhibited and
explained, in support Of the view that a
nation of Indians more civilized and en-
Iightened than those found at the settle
ment of this State by the whites, once
fiourished here. We did not learn whether
the lecture would be repeated under more
favorable circumstances.

The Finance Committee of the Old
Board Request an Investigation and
are Refused.
The following correspondence will ex-
plain itself. It has been the habit of the
supporters Of the City Ring, both in public
and private, to make comparisons between
their own administration and that OF their
predecessors, without coming to show,
and now when the old committee ask for
an investigation, it is refused. Our citi-
Gems are frmiIiar with'the fact that three
citizens were appointed and did make the
investigation, as far as possible, but were
unable TO get the information they desired
from The chairman of the late Finance
Committee. If there has not been gross
acknowledgement of the affairs of the city,
Why refuse the respectful request Of i've OF
our leading citizens and heavy taxpayers?

is something rotten in Denmark. Here is
