Excepting a slightly increased demand
for county warrants, nothing has trans
PRED since our report of yesterday indi'
eating any change in our local financial
affairs. The collection of accounts is
occupying the attention of our bankers
and merchants generally, and so far as
we are able to learn, bills are, in the ma

large amount Of paper held by the banks
becomes due tomorrow, and will, it is
expected, be met promptly by those hav-
ing dealings with the banks. The de-
mand for money to-day ia more animated
than that of yesterday, in consequence
of which street rates have advanced to
the former fgures-2 to 4 per cent. per
month. The banks continue to discount
their customers paper at 10 to ~ per
cent. per annum. City scrip is quiet
and without demand; the buying rates
Csc selling, Csc. County warrants are
in better demand, with very little offer
ing; Gle is the buying rate reported this
morning, and zoe the selling rate. City
bonds are in light request at 52c, and
selling at $50. Exchange is scarce and
firm at par buying and &c premium sell
ing. Tennessee money and local rail
road shares are quiet and unchanged.
Gold opened at llG., advanced to lI6s,
