" THE ORIENTAL"
Magnificent establishment
Turkish BATHS. Etc.

IurAtsn bhtus, Etc.
Memphis can now boast Of at least one
first-class shaving and hair-dressing
saloon. The basement Of the splendid
Goyer Block, corner Of Jefferson and
Main streets, has been furnished by
Messrs. Fred. Wolf and Henry Fazzi in
the most costly and tasteful manner.
On entering this splendid saloon the
visitor sees the most elegant furniture
luxurious chairs, grand pier glasses,
six bathrooms, provided with all that
can give pleasure and comfort, await
the weary guest. Nine splendid chairs
are presided over by tonsorial artists.
Who does not like a good shave and
refreshing bath? Messrs. Wolf Il
Fazzi are ready to wait upon all GUS
toners at the Oriental. There is
something peculiarly attractive in hav-
ing a good shave and in using
the best of cosmetics, perfumery, etc. /;
even clean, white towel is something
devoutly to be wished for. But all these
can be obtained at the Oriental with
out the slightest trouble. No doubt the
Oriental" will receive large share of
public patronage from our citizens; GER
tainly all those in search of comfort, con-
venience and elegance will call often
upon Messrs Wolf & Fazzi, and receive
at their hands a scientific shave and de-
lightful bath. Go to this magnificent
Oriental" saloon as soon as possible.

Ours for the last time tonight.

THEArER.-The charming comedy of
Ours was rendered last night to good
house. Miss Moore as Mary NetleyP
was everything to be commended. Miss
Moore has become in brief period of
time a Memphis fayorite; indeed the
legitimate drama has been welcomed
back to the boards of the tbeater by
crowded houses. Mr.. Wyndham as
=" Chalcot was especially good. The
by-play between Mary Netley" and
" Chalcot" was charmingly rendered.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick as the Scotch cadet
made a decided bit. and was deservedly
applauded. The military music intro
duced into the play was loudly cheered,
especially that eyer-popular air, The
Girl l Left Behind Me-" Tonight Ours
will be presented for the last time. To-
morrow night Miss Moore will have a
complimentary benefit, which is ten
deree by her many admirers in the city.

GENERAL. MARKET

MAhhEI.
There is no change of importance to
note in the general market. except, per
haps, slight decline in corn. There is
some speculative inquiry, however, which
may have a tendency to again stiffen
prices. The decline in cotton yesterday
and to-day causes feeling of depression
in all branches of trade.
MONEY!.
The money market shows but little
change since our report of yesterday.
There is still an active demand for ac-
commodations at the banks, and Gus
toners are supplied at the usual rates.
The exchange market continues active.
Eastern commercial bills are taken at
! to ! discount, the latter being the gem
eral rate. Local scrips, stocks and
securities are nominal at previous quota
tons Gold is being taken at lO9,
although 1898 was paid for a shipping
lot this morning. The opening New
York rate was ll0s and closing rate at
noon 1893. Government securities
opened dull and sterling exchange steady.
COTTON.
The market to-day is somewhat irregu-
lar and depressed, owing to unfayorable
adyices from the East with . decline in
New York and dull market at Liver

ing the early part of the day and pur-
chased but little but toward noon spec
ulatire demand was natioed and factors
realiEed on their tables when opportan-
ity offered. Some, however, withdrew from
market upon Instructions from planters.
The sales up to noon were about
