MEMPHIS. TRIM. September 0. 1870. !


The local financial market presents nc
new features of interest to-day. The
demand for accommodations is hardly
as active as at this time last week. The
banks continue to supply their regular
customers at the old rates. Exchange
is quiet, but firm, at par buying and
selling. There is but little doing in
stocks or bonds County warrants are
in request to-day at 67@7O, and sold by
dealers at 73@64. No transactions were,
however, reported. City bonds are also
in nominal demand at 4S@49. Gold
opened somewhat excited in New York
at ll5l, declined to ll4l and subse-
quently advanced to ll45. Our dealers
purchase at ll3l. Government securi-
ties opened dull, but steady, at the clos
ing rates Of yesterday The market for
railroad stocks opened unsettled, with
but few stocks Offering
COTTON.
The market is quiet to-day, with very
little demand for any grades. Holders
are generally firm and not disposed to
make concessions. The asking rates
this morning were zoe for good middling,
l9c for strict middling, ls4c for middling,
l73c@lf3c for low middlong, lGc@l6lc
for good ordinary, and for good style of
ordinary from la!o to l4lc, while low
and trashy grades range from lllc to
l2c. The sales this morning we're limit
ed, and confined chiefly to the lower
grades. We learned of one or two small
lots of middling changing hands at
lSct9lsfc, and also that q table of
Is bales, which would barely aver
age middling, was offered at lsc to
several buyers, without, however, find
ing a purchaser. The receipts for
the week ending yesterday were 523
bales, and for the corresponding week
last year, ll9. The exports were TAG
bales; for the same week last year,
80 hales, Yesterdays dispatches re-
