Browne, late Minister to China, has sent in a

COTTON STATEMENT.

Yesterdays St. Louis Republican says
of the general market: a.I.
Flour was dull and unchanged yester-
day In wheat there was more competi-
ton from buyers, owing to the small re-
ceipts and light offerings, but no qnota-
BILE advance was obtained. Selections
of all grades from Nc. 3 up we're frmer,
but the lower grades are stillweak. Corn
continues dull and lifeless, There "a no
margin upon shipments in any direction
and With the present high rates of
freight, there is no inducement 10 farm
ers to send forward the new crop. Oats
opened with sharp demand and upward
tendency but the inquiry falling Oh, the
market closed dull and weak at previous
prices. Rye moved slowly, holders hav-
ing advanced their views, and sales were
at shade advance. HighwineS were
active and shade better Hay was
quiet and unchanged. In provisions bus
mess is restricted TO very narrow limits.
and even at that the market was easier
yesterday with declining tendency.

Regarding the lumber dealers refusal
to pay wharfage dues in Dubuque, the
Times says that one or two of the
obdurate lumber dealers hold out and

Judge Barker presiding, has been oceu-

will be decided on Monday morning next,
to which time the court adjourned. /"

MEMPHIS THEATER.- celebrated
comical pantomime troupe of Denier and
Fox repeated the laughable pantomime
of the Three Blind Mice last night. The
house was not large, owing to the in
clementstate of the weather, but as the
old saying is, the lack of numbers was
more than made up by enthusiasm and
a good performance. The show is supe-
rior to Humpty Dumpty, we would say,
and pleases everybody highly who
has seen it. The trained dog show is a
feature that cannot fail to interest every
one, and the acrobatic feats of the
Messrs. Conrad are interesting and at
tractive. Little Harry Conrad, a mere
child, an infant four years DID, performs
some wonderful feats, not to be acquired
by ordinary performers in years of train
ing. Tonight an attractive bill is pre-
scented, and we may look for a good
house.

MONEY


The position Of monetary affairs re-
main unchanged. The demand for loans
continues active and undated, and, as
was the ease yesterday, is confined to no
particular branch OF trade, but is quite
general. Rates are unchanged. The
banks are supplying the wants of their
regular customers at to 10 per cent,
while on the street from 2 to "a per cent.
per month is asked and obtained on
short-date paper with approved security.
The situation is, however, improving
somewhat, owing to the heavy transac-
tons in cotton and the importation Of
currency from abroad. A close money
market exists in all the Northern as
well as Southern cities, and large loans
are Effected by the leading manufacturers
and business men of the different North
ern cities, which renders the market hexe
rather more stringent than it would
otherwise be. Exchange is firm and in
demand. Eastern checks and cotton
bills are discounted at par to 1 to &c,
with more liberal offerings of the latter
to-day than on any preceding day during
the week. Scarcely anything is reported
in the way Of local stocks or securities,
and quotations remain unchanged. For
county warrants 679c is bid, and 20 to
lie is the selling rate. Memphis skies
are offering at sic, but find no pur-
chasers, SOC being the best bid for them.
Bank of Tennessee money is not in re-
quest-65c is the rate quoted by dealers
Gold is quiet, with but light offerings;
the purchasing rate to-day was lll4 to
ll2. The opening New York rate was
ll3, and the closing rate at noon ll2a

Of to-day report $4,000 defalcation in

Regarding dry goods the New York
World of Monday says
The business of the week has been I'M
settled but more lively, owing to re-
duction in the prices of leading domestic
cotton goods by the large jobbing firms.
This movement has stimulated the de-
mand and added materially to the bust
ness operations of the week. The near
by trade has been well represented, and
their purchases of domestic goods have
been quite heavy This reduction of the
prices of domestic cotton goods by the
jobbers does not meet with favor from
the manufacturers and commission
agents, who have declined to alter their
quotations. Jobbing prices are there
fore in many cases lower than those of
the commission agents. Wooden goods
are quiet but firm. Business with the
foreign importers is quiet and the auc-
ton sales of the week were only moder-
ately attended. Desirable styles of for
eign goods are firm and in demand, with
a moderate supply in first hands.
