PUBLIC LEDGER OFpICK,
MEMPHIS. TENN. December IL. lS70.)
There is no change of Importance to
notice in the general market. The re-
ceipts of produce and grain per steamer
to-day may have the effect to weaken
prices and cause q reduction. Corn is
somewhat heavy to-day, in consequence;
sales being made at 621@65c for shelled.
Oats are firm at SOC. Hay quiet, at S22
@24, with sales of medium qualities at
1923. Bran. is easy at 2O@2lc. Pro-
visions continue inactive and heavy,
with a demand only for dry sailed pork,
at ll@ll1c for clearsides; lO3@llc for
clear ribsides, and 7a@Sc for shoulders.
There is no demand for bacon, except
sugar-cured hams, of which there were
sales at 10000; clearsides were offered
at l5c; mess pork, from store, $50 so
OBI 90.
MONEY.
Nothing has transpired since yester-
day to indicate any change in the condl-
ton of local finances. The demand for
money is little more active to-day, and
the banks are doing lively checking
busin ess. Rates of interest are firmer
at 8 to IL per cent. ct the banks, and ls
to 2 per cent upon the street, with very
little doing in the shape of outside appli-
cations. Local scrips are quiet but more
active than on any preceding day during
the week. County warrants are in de-
mand at 6s to 60, and are sold by deal
ers at Zoe. Tennessee money is also IN
demand dealers paying SO to zoe, and
selling at 70 to 75c. City bonds have
advanced somewhat, owing to the GER
tainty of the January interest being paid,
and to-day there was an active demand
for them; 53c was paid during the day,
and orders at that figure could not be
filed. We also heard of Q sale of $4,000
city coupons at zoe. Gold is purchased
at 1904, and is offered in limited guam
titles only. The opening New York rate
was ll0s, and the closing rate at noon
IIO3. Government securities opened
dull and irregular Sterling exchange
has declined fraction, opening steady
at 1909.
COTTON
There is an active demand to-day for
all grades, and nearly the entire force of
buyers were upon the market. Sellers,
taking advantage of the favorable news
from the East and the rumored receipt
of large orders, were somewhat sitter,
and in many cases advanced their prices
from &c. to ic. on all grades. There
were exceptions to this rule, however
and some were willing to dispose of
small lots at a slight advance over
Yesterdays prices Middling sold du-
ring the morning as low as l34c,
the majority of the sales being
however, at l35c, with a few exceptions
at lac for bright styles. Low middlings
were disposed of at Isle, with excep-
tons at l3sc. Some few bales of strics
middling we're picked up at l4c, and
about 100 bales of good ordinary were
purchased at l2sc. The sales up to
noon will reach 1900 bales, at prices
ranging from l3i to l35c. We quote:

don't think 8 dollars day woula pro.

was ali 8 dollars gas, but it didn't
smell like gas to me. The day [ got

what hitohes the cannon to the powder
box. There's goiu' to be shootin Ger.
tain, and somebody's goin' to be hurt,
and [ want Captain Corput to under
stand that [ have resigned. I heard
another crowd talkin about State aids.
l suppose they are to be on the Gov

better for me. I heard member say
he was afrced Of all tho State Aids
would be killed, but that he should
fight nifty hard on the road from Ma
con to Knoxville. Another said he
should do his fighting between Rome
and Columbus. If a man pick his
ground it's good thing.
Mr.. Editur, there's heep of fuss
generally. A man tawked 2 days in
the House about the penitentiary and
the conviks, and whippin and slasbin
aud delicate parts, etc. 1 thought he
thought good deal Of his-self. I
was sorry to see the members asleep
while he was speakin, for think it
was very disrespekful. man said
the spakist didn't care dam for the
conviks, but was just playin his last
card agin the Govnor, and that ho was
then goin to sink down between Silla
