THE TENNESSEE ELECTION.

The Chicago Tribune and the Ereninl

Tennessee election, the former deemlng il
the duty Of respectable Republicans to re

the party to weep and gnash its teeth. The
Tribune makes this fling at the Post.
The EreniHy Post thinks that it is an "evi.

away by an overflow of tbe river.
The referee held that this claim should
not be allowed, for the reason that
the Benton could get no higher, and
was, in this transaction, acting rs the
agent of the defendant, aud st his direc-
ton, in getting forward the machinery,
which was properly the freight of the
Graham, s boat ia which the plaintiff
had no interest. The defendant also
claimed $11, 500 for services rendered by
him as agent of the boats, while they
were engaged in the Mountain trade.
This is disalIowed by the referee for the
reason above stated, that in the absence
OF an agreement such services must be
considered as rendered for the common
benefit of all the owners, without COM
pensstion. The evidence in the case en-
braces over 800 pages and the report
of the referee is quite long, but the above
comprise the more important points
raised in the case. Elk Judge Dryden,
the referee, finds that the defendant has
in his hands 500, 802, to which the plain
tiffs are entitled, and for which they
should have their judgment. Cline,
Jamison and Day are the attorneys for
the plaintiffs, and Rankin and Hayden
for the defendant.

FINANCE.
The money market during the WeeI
has been quiet and rather close. Many
holders Of cotton were compelled 10 rear
lize as our banks did not deem 1t prudeh
to carry them longer, especially as th'
tendency of prices vas rather down
ward than otherwise. This urgency !
over, we learn, TO a great extent sh'
such of our factors as are now holding ~
are generally strong. The sales duripi
the week, though small, we're OF sui
fieient magnitude to replenish tai
almost depleted state Of the exehang'
market. Our banks are now moderately
supplied-enoUgh so to supply the com
mereial demand upon them and are daily
making light cotton engagements.
Rates upon New York steady st +
discount buying, and 4c premium selling
with light concessions both ways to Gus
toners.
There is a fair inquiry for City Bonds
but 40 sellers. SIS could be realized
e and probably 2c more.
r. road Stocks and Bonds are in de

ings limited and quotations nominal.
City Scrip is scarce and held mostly
by spectators. Deslers sre rsther less

and sell at 7697Se.

There is no movement in Bank Of Ten

Gold in New York has been remarka-

to-day al 1916 and closed at 1879. 5terl-

downwards, closing to-day at 108fc for

In gold we have no sales to report, ex-

TRADE.

Bad weather and s dull cotton market
combined had q depressing effect Oh
trade during the past week and u re.
marks upon the subject need therefore be
short. We have, however, a change for
the better in the former and the last
couple Of days have had more the APP
pesrance Of spring than any we have
bad for weeks. We regret that we can
not report as favorsbly OF cotton. The
feeling is, TO be sure, better than a week
ago, but it does not move off rapidly.
One popularity Of last weeks business is
noticeable stiil-that is while other
branches Of trade have been generally
quiet, the demand for boots and shoes
has been quite as active as the most san
guine dealers could expect. Already du-
plicste stocks of those received a few
weeks ago are coming in from the East

A case OF no little interest was recently
decided in London. The matter referred
to came came up before the Judicial
Committee Of the Privy Council, who
decided in the case Of Richard Lewis,
E-q., who had left in the care Of his
bankers debentures Of e10,450 value,
which debentures had been stolen by one
OF the clerks, It is shown to be the law Of
the land that bankers are not in any way
liable, unless through negligence, for the
custody Of property left In their charge.
This decision viii take by surprise the
public generally, who will doubtless re-
move from bankers the custody of their
property, preferriDg to keep their OWL
property rather than to be at the mercy
OF the employees Of bankers and Of
worka-n who may have, OF may have
hSc ssss to their premises.
