Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-01-21


London advices of yesterday quote
United States 5-20's at 759.
Exchange on New York was taken by the
banks yesterday at I discount and sold by
them at par.
United States bonds are bought by our
dealers at the New York rate, and are
sold by them at one cent advance.
Tennessee bonds were quoted in New
York yesterday at 6S for the old and 673
for the new. Dealers here buy at about
cent under the New York rate and sell at
about one cent, advance.
Nashville corporation checks are rather
dull and rates are unchanged. Dealers
generally are holding at Soc.
The New York Financial Chronicle gives
the movements of cotton for the week and
season as follows:
"The total receipts for the seven days
have reached 1854 bales against 73, 1877
bales last week, sc, l59 bales the previous
week, and SO, lis bales three weeks since),
making the aggregate receipts since Sep
trmber 1. 1868, mp to this date, l, 420,61S
bales, against !, 204, 116 bales for the same
period in 1867, being an excess this sea-
son over last season of ZIG, SOP bales.
The exports for the week ending this eve
ming, reach total of 40, 40 bales, of which
5000 we're to Great Britain, and 1910
bales to the Continent, while the stocks at
all the ports as made up this evening are
now 320777 bales. Compared with the
corresponding week Of last season, there is
a decrease in the exports this week of 28,-
0l0 bales, while the stocks tonight are
36,765 bales less than they were at this
time year ago."
The following is comparison of the
quarterly statements of the New York city
banks, October 5, 1858, and January
1869, as made up by the manager of the

urday. Sales were made all the way from
66c to Soc per bushel, and mixed ear, in
frst-rate condition, is now held at zoe,
shelled is, held at re, and
White at 1@2c above mixed. The re-
ceipts have doubtless been reduced because
Of very uafavorable weather.
Oats have had an improving market,
and are now 4@5c above figures current a
week ago, the asking quotations being &c
for No. 2 and 65c for No. /. These are
full figures, yet the offerings are light and
sellers firm. Prime White are held at
66@67c.
Lard became dull after our last weekly
review, falling at first to 19fc, and then,
on Friday, to 19c, without any demand. 1t
was to-day firmer, and generally held at
101c, though this was an extreme figure,
and purchases could probably have been
made at 19fc. Country is now held at
IS2@19c, and prime steamed at 1S3c.
Bacon has been in fair order demand,
but sales have been at moderate decline
from last Mondays figures. Current quo
tations are given at 1870 for shoulders,
I64c for clear rib sides, and 174c for clear.

Rober,son Associn1ioD lecture


The third lecture of the series announced
by the Robertson Association was deliv
cred last night by our young townsmaD
Frank Reid, Esq, and was decided sue
cess. 1t was beautiful in sentiment anC
eloquent in diction. The audience, com
posed of the elite Of the city, from the at
tention they gave the yonng lecturer, simP
ly evinced not only their admiration fol
the modest and mastery way in which th'
subject was handled, but full apprecia
ton of the subject Of the lecture; for Eon'
has ever read Dickens who has not beer
impressed with the beauty of his style o
writing, and the force and natural delinea
lions of human character that he has in
varisbly given.
As on q former occasion, the lecture wal
preluded by musical entertainment. Mr.
Apple played on the Zitner very sweetly
and was induced TO repeat the performance
by an encore.
Mr.. Mueller, who sang SO sWeetly ana &C
well at the former lecture, gave on this oc'
casion ample evidence Of his talent as an
amateur musician.
Mr.. Schneider's 'Last Man" was very
fine solo, indeed, and only rivalled by the
bass solo from Elijah, "The Prayer" sang
in the encore.
The next lecture will be delivered by
Rev. DIR. Baird, on next Tuesday evening.
Subject: Nashville: its rise and pro-
gress." To say the least Of it, this is a
subject we are deeply interested in at
present. We trust these lectures will be
remunerative, and that the Robertson AS
sociation will meet the success it aims at.

New York Money Market.
New YORK, Jan. 2G.-Money in i'm
proved demand, and rates on call is sharp
at seven per cent. There was some appear
ance Of q temporary stacking up of green
backs, which excited unfavorable COM
ment. Towards the close of bank hours
the supply was more liberal and the mar
ket easier, though rates were unchanged.
The Stock Exchange was the scene Of wild
fluctuations. The "bulls" rallied the mar
ket sharply from low quotations yesterday,
bnt the Clears" made another raid and re-
duced prices TO three per cent. under the
pressure of sales. Apprehension was oeca-
stoned BY unexpected activity in money
and the circulation Of the report that the
Illinois Legislature was again at work re-
dueiue fares on all the roads in the State.
IL now turns out that all Michigan
Southern stock has been bought in
the interest of Vanderbilt and Jay
Gould, and that at the March election the
road will probably pass into their control
Fort Wayne is likely to pass into tie,
management Of Erie. The relations OF
Vanderbilt and Gould are amicable, and
their position on the market identical. The
combined capital of these railway magnatts
and followers, represent 80 to $l0O, 0OO,O 600.
The other railway kings and their adj
herents are rapidly passing over to their
side, which adds new life to speculation.

Deaf OfCOI. A. w. Putnam.

This gentleman, for many years resi-
dent of this vicinity, died, at his residence
in this city, on yesterday morning, after a
long and painful illness. He had attained
a ripe age, being nearly seventy years old
at the time of his death, and has left nu-
merous family of sons and daughters, sew
eral of whom reside in other States.
He was educated for the bar, but aban-
dOned its pursuit many years since. Pos
sessed of comfortable fortune, he devoted
his leisure to literary pursuits, and was
one Of the founders, and at one time the
President Of the Tennessee Historical So
ciety. He was also the author Of work
entitled "The History of Middle Tennes-
see," evincin considerable research among
the facts and traditions connected with tie
early settlement Of this region. In this de-
partment, Col. Putnam was an enthusiast,
and his labors we're abundant. He was de-
scendant Of Israel Putnam of revolu tionary
fame, and connected by marriage with the
stalwart pioneers who laid the foundations
Of this State.
Col. Putnam was esteemed in all the re-
lations of life, and for a score of years or
more had been an officer in the First Pres
byterian church of this city. An extensive
circle of friends and acquaintance lament
his death, and the community suffers the
loss of a valuable member.

Late commercial letters from New Or
leans state a further advance, of half cent
on Louisiana sugars. Nearly half the crop
has already been received, and the demand
increases. Not over 10000 hhds will be
realized, as we have before observed, but
that sum is largely over the expectations
INDUCED by planters at the beginning.
Out of the crop large amount has been
retained for cane seed, the intention being
to cultivate on an extensive scale. Prep
arations are making, also, for heavy yield
of cotton. The existing rates for both sta
pies offer inducements enough, certainly,
for the most strenuous exertions on the
part of planters.
The Cincinnati Commercial says, in its
market report of Monday evening
Clover seed has been in good request,
and is now firm at Ice. Timothy is steady
at So so for prime seed,
Flour has had during the week rather
spiritiess market, Prices have remained
at the old range, yet there has been less
support given to outside figures. The in
vestmeHt demand noted during the preced-
ing week was not continued, doubtless for
the reason that it had no support in the
news from other points. We repeat fig
ures at 81 5O@S 90 for family, Sc 5OG97 90
for extra, and SIS OO@6 90 for superfne.
The dull tone Of the market does not seem
to provoke any greater disposition on the
part of sellers to realize.
Corn has had an improving market since
Tuesday, and prices have, in all, advanced

Two Hearts thai Beat az One

Late yesterday afternoon a manly youth
and gushing maiden, evidently intent upon
business Of a pleasant character, made
their appearance at a Magistrates Office,
and more by looks than words, indicated
their desire TO be properly commissioned
in the tender relations of husband and
wife The Magistrate readily understood
the nature of the case, and with as little
ceremony and delay as possible, the wishes
of the youthful couple we're complied with.
The bridegroom saIuted the bride and then
she saluled the bridegroom. The latter
looked ineffably happy and so did the
former. Hand-in-hand they left the Office
to journey homeward meath genial sun-
shine that only needed the music of sing
ing birds and the odor of wild flowers TO
make the picture what romantic fancy
would have it.
