WARD Neutrality-suspicious. of our citizens
opposed to the present city administration,
and to the election of the men the Murdock,
Condor and Hsverstick clique have nomin-
ated for onice,wil meet in the various wards
to night, to nominate aldermen and choose
delegates to the city convention. Whether
they succeed or not, depends entirely upon
themselves, and their action tonight If
they act wisely, and select good men-men
against whom no prejudice OR objection can
be found, they will carry the city If not
thew will lose it-simply for want OF wise and
harmonious action. Let all personal objects
be laid aside and let all act together for hAF'
mony and success.

NESS PORK.

The receipts of Mess Pork for the year
foot up 2, 507 barrels, against 10, Os4 barrels
last year, and 24,22O the year before. It
opened at $50 25@S3O 50 per Dbl; declined
in December to SZ4, but the cry of a short
hog crop soon caused an advance, which
continued until the close Of the year. A
few weeks ago 1t was irmer than it Is now,
several lots having cost, delivered in store,
within a fraction of S35 90; but this was
only of temporary effect. The demand,
generally, has been small to what was an
tieipated when the season opened. but
this Is to be attributed to the high prices
which prevailed. Il must be remembered
that our statement does not cover Mess
Pork put up At this point. Four or i've
of our dealers, during the hog killing sea-
son, packed, to a limited extent, and from
the success they met with, will, no doubt,
enter it more extensively ths coming
season. The same complaints were heard
this year relative to " short weight" but
not to such an extent as during the season
of 1878. This system of fraud in pack
ing is not confined to any particular sec
ton. Pork packed in Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Evansville, st. Louis, Keokuck, Ga
lena and Chicago, in many cases, were
short in weight from ten to thirty lbs, and
we may safely say that only standard, or
well known brands Of either city, con-
tanned the full complement Of meat. The
matter has become so serious that many
Of our merchants refuse to buy until they
have tested, by opening and reweighing.
We hope that during the coming year
short weight pork viii not be tolerated in
Jul market, but will b condemned AS a
swindle, both upon the merchant and
the planter. The monthly receipts were
as follows:

BANKS.

Since our last Annual Report, u banks
hav ehsldtheir own, made large dividends
and assisted very much to advance the
interests and prosperity ofthe city. Rates
of interest, owing TO the great demand for
money, have ruled high-from 9 to u per
cent-proving the folly ofsuch legislation
as seeks to control capital and direct the
amount of its earnings. Men will pay as
their necessities dsmand, and men will
ask all they think they can get.
Money, like any other commodity, has its
market price, regulated by .he great law
of supply and demand. and it will always
seek the highest market. Legislative re-
strictions removed, and Tennessee would
for years be able to control and use all the
money necessary to her development.
That we have not had enough capital in
Memphis and West Tennessee
has been fully realized by aug
home capitalists, many Of whom
have recently combined under the
attractive and suggestive title Of the
" Union and Planters Bank" to supply
the deficiency. To the capital of this
