Business, we are happy to be able to
record, is improving. A very marked
increase Of activity is plainly to be-
seen upon our prominent business streets,
and If the current OF affairs which is
now setting 10 is not INSTRUCTED by the
hasly and imprudent action OF the Leg
islature and Governor in calling out
troops to trample upon the rights Of our
already heavily oppressed people, we
may reasonably hope for a prosperous
seasons trade. Several new houses have
opened, or are about doing so, who hope
to share with older ones portion of the
Iabors as well as profits of the coming
year. The cards of several will be found
in our columns to-day, and in all csses
we feel warranted in commanding them
to the public confidence. 1t will be no.

only after repeated losses have the
sufferers found out that the CON-
signee was, in the generality of
cases, utterly devoid of every principle
which should govern the merchant and
the gentleman. These mercantile car
net-baggers followed and lasted nearly
as long as the war held its red hand over
us. and have only disappeared ss a
kind of advance guard of that other
army of political scalawags who will
take their exit in November next.

Cotton STATEMENT.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.. I
MEMPHIS, August 10, 1863. !
WhofesaIe Market,

In the dry goods and boot and shoe
markets there has been very fair share
OF activity during the week, and prices
have been unchanged. There is no
abatement from the firmuess which
characterized last weeks market. Staple
dry goods suitable for the fall trade are
in demand and country buyers have
about concluded that this is the best
time to replenish their stocks, while shoe
dealers report an equally good inquiry
for fall wear in their line.
The market for live stock is very quiet,
with good beef cattle scarce and no de-
mand outside the local market.

STEAMBOATMEN's CLUB.
Meeting Last Night Committee
Appointed.

The regular meeting of the above club
came off last night at S!illman Hall
Capt. Ad Storm was temporary chair
man. The minutes OF the last meeting
were read and approved, when, upon
motion, new Committee on Finance
was appointed aud the old committee
relieved. The chair appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen: Messrs. Hukill, Dill
andSayers. Upon motion, the chairman
was added to the committee.
A new Committee of one on Hall was
also appointed, Mr.. NJ. w. Kenny.
The old Committee ON Speakers not
having made report were relieved, and
and upon motion, new one was APP
pointed consisting of MessTs. Dill, Pat
terson and English.
Upon motion, a tax of fifty cents per
month was levied upon each member OF
the club.
Able speeches were made by Judge g..
P. Foute and Capt. Geo. Mellersh. Judge
Foute made feeling sllusion to the
heroic Johnny Trice, whose gallantry
and self sacrifice in giving up his life on
the Inflated Caroline is yet fresh in the
minds Of our readers.
After debate on the subject of display
worthy Of the club to come off at some
future time, and the enrolling of new
memb ers, the club adjourned to meet on
Monday night next.

order to enable the merchant to assist
the planter as far as possible. Good
paper or collsterals are rarely refused at
any OF our regular banking houses, and
rates are much the same as our last. AL
exchange offered is taken at par to &c
premium, and sold at 49se premium.
Gold has been excited during the week.
and went up as high as 150c on Thurs
day, but again declined, opening to-day
at 1464c and closing at 146sc in New
York. The excitement is attributed
altogether to q bull movement in New
York, and has no foundation outside Of
Wall street. Several failures are antici-
pated among the shorts" as the friends
of the bull movement are very strong IN
money, and are evidently using every
effort to ruin the uncovered short" in
terest. Our dealers keep up respectable
margin on Eastern quotations, buying
at 144@l45c and selling at 145@146c.
Buyers and sellers of Memphis and
Charleston stock are still wide apart in
their views. There are plenty of the
former at 52@53c, and plenty OF the lat
ter at soc, but as neither give way, we
have no sales to report. There is some
movement in Mississippi Central, but
holders are firm; $4,000 I'd mortgage
bonds were offered to-day, but the holder
was over the market Oh them, and at
noon they were unsOld. City bonds are
very weak, and we fear are destined to
go below, owing TO the threatened militia
law. Several parties sold to-day. We
quote among the sales lots of $4,000,
$1,000 and $1,000 at SOC; 5000 on private
terms, and few small lots at 50@5Ic.
City Scrip is dull. Brokers buy at
7O@72e. Selling at 75@7Sc. The offer
ings are rather in excess Of the demand,
but holders are not disposed to sell at the
inside figure, and we think they are
right, as the small amount of Scrip now
sfioat will soon be absorbed, and prices
will run up at no distant day.
County Warrants are very quiet. Bro
kers buy at 5O(952c. Selling at soc.
Police Scrip is in good demsnd, and is
Brokers buy at 73975c.
Selling at 7S@8Oc.

Abe Gilmore, who sent the first bale OF
cotton of this years crop to market, is q
negro, living near Galveston, Texas.
He was presented with a handsome sill
yer pitcher and goblets.
There has been some irregularity in
cotton during the week, both in Liver
pool and New York. The former mar
ket opened with Upiahds heavy at 9sj,
while in the latter market Middiings
were dull at soc. A decline set IN on
Wednesday, and feeling Of weakness
nsrvaded all the markets, causing Up
lands to decline Id in Liverpool, and in
New York 29c was the outside quota
lions on Middlings. A reaction took
place on Saturday Uplands in Liver
pool advancing to 9ad, but Middlings in
New York only became firmer, nc
higher. To-day the former market was
advancing at the opening, with Uplands
9gd. At noon it had gone up another
Ii, and closed with quotations nomiaaily
unchanged; sales Is. 600 bales. There
was but a moderate demand at firm
prices this morning in New York, but
holders soon asked higher prices and
were very firm at 234c for Middlings.
At the close it was quiet bat firm at un-
changed quotations.
We have no stock to mention, and
outside the sale to-day of bale Low
Middliug 1T 274c and bales Good Ordi-
nary to Low Middlings at 25c, there was
nothing done. 1t is doubtful whether
there is as much more in the city for
sale. The First bale" is now tue aO-
sorbing question. Some of our houses
offer premium to the shipper who
sends in the wished for article, and it
would not astonish Us to see it claimed
before our next weekly issue goes to
press.
Sales in Liverpool for the week ending
Friday last, IS, 900 bales. Stock on hsnd
at that date, 5S1, 600 bales, OF which
269, 900 were American. Sock afl)at,
