TRADE.

yesterday and to-day added some additional

MONEY.
Currency is reported easy by our banks, and
we hear much complaint by men who declare
they have the " best names" in town, and yet
are unable to get discount. They say that
on application they are informed that only
regular customers are accommodated. Ex-
change makes slowly, and several of our
banks have to ship currency to keep up their
&c premium and checking at &c premiGm.
County warrants are in demand. A sale Of
$500 to a dealer was reported to-day att tic, but
we consider that below the market. Tonnes
see money is quiet at 73c. City coupons. 6S to
zoe buying and selling. Memphis and Charles
ton railroad stock, $50 to SEC.

soon found to be an error. 4
