MONEY.

MONEY.
The local money market presents no
new features of interest to-day. The de-
mand for accommodations from mer
chants continues, and they are supplied
as far as possible by the banks. Rates
are about as previously reported-l0 to
IL per cent. at the banks and II to q
per cent. per month on the street. Ex-
change is dull and nominal at par buy
ing and ic premium selling At Chicago,
Cincinnati and other Northern cities, the
best rates are 25c discount between the
banks and l-l0c discount from custom
ers. There is very little doing in scrips
or stocks. Several transactions are re-
ported in Memphis and Charleston rail
road stock at 3Si to 3s1. City bonds are
quiet at Al to 48c. County warrants are
dull and unchanged. Gold is quiet and
taken by dealers at 1l6l for round lots.
The opening New York rate was ll8,
after which it declined to 1l73. Govern
ments opened quiet at about the closing
ates of y esterday.
COTTON.
Very little has been done in the staple
this morning. The reported decline of
I'D in the Liverpool market had the effect
to make buyers more cautious, and as
general thing they were not disposed to
invest to any extent at prices above their
own views. Holders were rather firm,
and rot disposed to make concessions.
The sales reported up to noon will, per-
haps, reach 40 bales at irregular prices,
and were principally small lots, and on
basis of lS9c for middlings and l6f to
l64c for good ordinary The New York
market opened quiet and unchanged at
l9lc for middlings, and the Liverpool
market quiet and steady, with estimated
safes of 10000 bales at SIC for uplands
and Cd for orleans.
Referring to the crops in that vicinity,
the Des Arc Citizen of the 9th says:
There has been an abundance of rain
recently, and corn is doing as well as
could be asked. The corn crop what
there is of it, will be fine one. Cotton
looks very well, the worms have about
quit their work, and farmers are more
hopeful about this crop.

MUSICAL SoIREE LAST NIGHr.-Jno.
Hoyt opened his splendid new music store
on Illinois street, last night, with delight
ful little musical reunion. He has been
accustomed to getting his patrons together
for a little musical treat frequently in his
store across the river, and he took this
method of making the acquaintance of the
mssic-loving public of Rock Island. He
knew of no one in Rock Island who was in
any way prominent as a musical amateur,
so he had to have recourse to his old
friends across the river, who had assisted
him in his former little entertainments.
Prof. Cramer played very nicely some
variations on Mendelsohns Wedding March
in Midsummer Nights Dream. Mr.. Hoyt
had issued large number of invltations only
the night before, which accounts in part for
its not being known. The affair
was very pleasant one, and Mr.. Hoyt
proposes repeating it when be becomes
sufficiently acquainted with the musical
people of Rock Island to call upon them to
assist hun.
There we're present from across the river
the following well known musical amateurs
Mrs. Foote, Miss Maggie Motto, Miss Maggie
Welton, Mrs. John Hoy,, Messrs. King,
Harry Lybe, Sehultze, Westherby, and
Profs. Craner and Bsuman, pisnists. Mrs.
Foote sang some very beautiful solos in her
exquisite parlor style, and Miss Nelton sang
Sunshine on tire heart vocal, duets, trins,
quartet,es, etc, filed the pleasing pro-
grsmme. Messrs. Baumau and Cramer
played some classic "four-hsnd1 pieces.
snoug which were Webes's Jubel Overture
and Meyerbeer's Torch Dance, one of the
most difficult of piano compositions in he
matter of time.
