GENERAL GRANT.
His Opinion on the railroad

His opinion ON the Railroad Subsidies
The Washington correspondence of the Balti-
more Sun of Dec. "a says
The reports of o conversation between Gene.
raj Grant and several congressman yesterday
relative to Pacific Railroad subsidies, printed
in the papers of yesterday ana to-day, are
claimed by some to be exaggeratlOns, but upon
inquiry 1t appears that there was ground lor q
portion of the statement at least In the con.
versation reference was made to General
Grants approval OF the structure, ETC., of the
over the route, and which was published in
the papers few days ago. General
Grant made q remark, in substance that al
though he found the Union Pacific In the excel
lent condition represented, be had said nothing
about granting subsidies TO railroads Those
who knew this did not understand General
Grant as opposing the existing grants and SUBJ
sidies, but as (merely by implcation) indicating
his disapproval of further subsidies TO projected
roads, or the granting of lands and bonds, ex-
cept what have been contemplated and pro.
reasons for supposing that General Grants
views as to the granting further subsidies of
any kind, and also upon the matter of retrench-
ment and economy, coincide with the we'll
understood opinions OF Mr.. Washburne OF
Illinois.
The N. Y. Times correspondent says:-
Some correspondents and some papers attach
undue Importance TO certain alleged utterauces
OF General Grant made Within the past few
days. 1t cannot be reliably ascertained that
General Grant has lost any Of the reserve 0T
discretion that have always characterized his
What he has said may be briefly summed up
In terse expression of opposition to any in
crease of the national debt so long as there is
any party In the country in favor of repudiat.
ing II, and that the repeal of the Tenure. Of
once act would be conducive to q thorough
reform of the public service. No one need
fear that General Grant is about to infict his
declarations or that he will assume the rOLe of
dictator to Congress at any time.

FIJI OF TBE DAILY APPEALl
MEMPHIS. October IL, 1888.
We have at last reached the turning
point In our city finances and to-dsy are
able to chronicle the advance which we
have on several occasions, through the
columns Of the APPEAL, declared must
ensue. This appreciation In our city
securities is due entirely to the irmness
which has characterised the gentlemen
having control Of this department of our
city government, and TO them, a well
as the few Of our capitalists who have
stood by them, is due all the credit. The
result must be gratifying to our citizens.
We are firmly convinced that our bonds
will continue to improve daily until they
ultimately become worth their face. A
party who has been on the market for
some time, and has thoroughly satisfied
himself q to the value Of the different
securities offered in this market, to-day
purchased in one lot SO, 600 Of u Navy
bonds at SOC. This is En advance Of
nearly 20 per cent. in two days alone.
Other parties who save orders to I'LL
were anxious to buy the "psving" or
"plain " bonds during the day at $40
$50, but were unable to do SO. As money
bscomes easier from the sale Of cotton
parties will seek investments, and we
know OF none better than Memphis
bonds, which ct present rates pay an
annual interest of u per cent.
Exchange Is abundant, far in excess OF
any demand. This lie likely to be the
csse during the season and evidences a
healthy state OF monetary affairs. Oar
crop this year will not all be absorbed by
Eastern creditors, but our people viii
come out with money in their pockets.
Rates are uniform at &c discount buying
The counter selling rates remain at par
with an occasional concession to dealers.
We will add that the offerings to-day
were not rs well distributed IS usual.
Some OF our discount houses had very
little presented, while others had all
they wished to take.
City Scrip Is somewhat excited. In
two weeks more those who have not
paid their taxes, will be requested to
pay the penalty which accrues from
such neglect, and to avoid that very
many Of our property holders sre in the
market. Brokers give as their buying
rates 73874c, but we are satisfied that
available sums would be taken at IS and
even zee. They sell at 759S0o IS to
amount.
Gold opened In New York to-day at
1864, and closed at 1879. We quote at
1359l36 buying.
County Warrants are also in demand.
We quote at 6O96Sc buying {; selling at
62665e.
Police Scrip is firm. Buying at SOC
selling at $50.
We have no change to report in School
Scrip. Buying st SOC selling at S5c.
The sale of Memphis and Charleston
stock, alluded to more than once within
8 few days, amounted TO 1000 shares.
This amount wss purchased by a broker
from a Florence, Ala, party at soc, and
was resold at sic. $4,000 Of Mississippi

TRADE.

Business was not active to-day on
Front or Main streets, but upon our re
tail thoroughfares there was quite a stir
and ladies were out ia numbers. Our
provision market remains veSy quiet,
owing to the short supply Of almost
everything in this line. Mess Pork is
firm at S32, while clear sides are held at
Isle by the cssk, and are sold at 19c in
email lots. Lots to arrive are taken at
Isle. Cora is very scarce and firm.
The receipts for the week have been
lighter than ever known before and will
no doubt continue to be so until the new
crop cOmes in by wagon. Lots have al
ready come in that way, but it is too
green to keep well, and is only taken by
feeders In small quantities. Flour is dull
and very much unsettled. Lots received
on consignment are closed out at the
best figures obtainable and in quantities
seldom exceeding q dray load. The trade
In bsgging continues fair, while rope is
neglected. Our merchants report the
average orders for rope as not exceeding
one in ten received. The iron tie seems
to have superseded rope, from its cheap
ness, as well as the superior qualities
which are claimed for it in the case Of
fire.

letter. from Georgia report that in conse-
quenee of the destruction caused by the cater
pillars and boil worms, the cotton crop OF 1858
will not yisld more than half the amount pro.
dueed in 1856.
Toe Savannah NeiCs OF Tuesday says OF the
disastrous effects OF the late raiHs upon the rtce
crop We learn That the recent heavy rains,
and the floods in the rivers and creeks conse-
quent thereon, have had a very disastrous
effect upon the rice crops. a few weeks ago it
was thought that the crop would be very heavy
this season but withiA Jhe week Just passed
ons-Ihird OF The crop raised along the Savan-
nah, Ogsechee and Altamaha rivers has been
destroyed, and the hoots are not yet over.
This viii materially lessen the m WI. CHI

would be raised this year.
Inc amount OF damage done has been care
fully calculated. Il IL plsce1 vsrv low, per-
hsps, as the destruction is going on every day
now. The Hoods have been greater this year
than they have been known to be for many
years, and the damage they have done thus far
is very great. We hope that tbs rice planters
VIII come on better than they anticipate, bat
things look gloomy al present.

by many parties not discriminating between
C numerical bales, OF the actual packages de

An estimated weight The former have been
used as the proper basis for crop accounts, but
computing the crop by the number of pounds

tina a bale ct 400 pOuHds, they have made the
crops OF former years much larger than In the
