active, and. we might say. brisk in every
branch of business. Our leading dry goods
merchants, as well as dealers in boots and
shoes, have been actively engaged during the
entire week. and from appearances to-day
there will be fully as much done this week.
There have been no marked changes in prices,
and as has been the case for several months,
our wholesale merchants are filling orders at
Eastern prices, so that. by purchasing in this
market. country dealers rave the freights and
have equally as we'll assorted stocks to select
from. In the general market the advance in
the prices of meats and -four are about the
only marked changes, as will DO seen by
comparison of the prices given be-
low and those quoted in our last weekly
review. Produce has been in light sup
ply. and the demand for the leading
articles has been active. Apples to-day are
in better demand at 81 to so for common to
choice. Butter is quiet at quotations below.
Bagging is quiet at 171z TO l91zc for light and
heavy, with sales Of 900 pieces to-day at retail
prices. Ties, rope and twine are steady and

clear rib at SIC. shoulders at &c. Breakfast
bacon is firm at II to 1214c for canvased. Lard

Money.

Money.
The general trade Of the city during the pas
week has been such that our merchants gem
orally have been actively engaged. and from
present indications the week just opened viii
show still larger increase in almost every
branch. The receipts of cotton have been
larger. too. thus giving our banks something
to do in the way Of exchange. Local none
tary affairs have, however. undergone no i'm
portant changes. with the exception of a re-
duction of 10 in the buying rates for cotton
bills. which will govern nearly all of the lead
ing banks ON and after to-day. The demand
for money. though not increasing as rapidly
as was anticipated, is fairly active. and the
banks are discounting customers paper at 10
to u per cent. In the open market there is a
little better demand. and rates vary from III
to "a per cent. per month.
Cotton bills are Offering quite freely. show
ing an increased movement in the staple.
Rates have been reduced from par to 10 dis
count buying but as yet no change has been
made in the selling rate. New York sight
checks are iss1ed at &c premium.
The movement in coin has been more active
during the week, the advance in the gold
premium bringing out larger amounts, Pur-
ehases to-day we're $1,000 at III. The New
York rate is at 1l4s4 to 1145sc,
Scarcely anything has been done in local
securities during the week. and city bonds.
railroad. insurance, bank, and other securi-
ties, have been neglected, To day We learn
of an outside sale of something like 100 shares
Mississippi Central railroad stock at 19c, the
shares being worth $50 each. Other than this
nothing of importance has been done.

Correction.

By an unaccountable slip of the pen
ell the LEDGER Of Saturday last was
made to say that Mr.. j. d. Mickle
pleaded guilty to the charge of embez-
element in the Criminal Court, and was
sentenced to seven years imprisonment
in the penitentiary by the jury. The
man so pleading and so sentenced was
Mitchell, the confidence man. The
case of Mr.. Mickle was heard by Judge
Flippin on writ of habeas corpus. The
testimony for the State on the charge
of embezzlement was heard. The coun-
sci of Mr.. Mickle-Colonel Kerr-did
not introduce any evidence for the de-
tense, prefering to await the regular
trial before the jury. Judge Flippin
sent the defendant to Jail in default OF
bonds in the sum of $4,000. The dis
agreeable mistake in names did Mr..
Mickle great injustice, as it did his able
counsel also, and we hasten to correct
so unpleasant statement.

Love aud Locomotives.

Some few evenings since young gem
tleman of this city rode out on horse
back to visit lady residing in the
suburbs. Returning after dark he rode
toward the city on the track of the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad. AS he
was proceeding homeward, lost in deep
thought, he was aroused from his reveries
Of bachelor by an approaching train.
Turning his steed from the track, the
train rushed by and our young friend re-
sumed his position between the rails, not
noticing the signal Of train behind. )"
He reached deep cut, and sank back
into his reveries as he listened to the
roar of the fast disappearing train, when
at once an ocean of light surrounded
him and the rush of another locomotive
in rear caused him to look around. That
look saved his life. The engine was
within thirty feet Of him, darting forward
almost with the speed Of light He threw
himself from his horse, the startled ami
NAL gave one wild leap forward and the
train swept over the gallant steed, while
the frightened rider picked himself out
Of the ditch, hardly knowing whether he
escaped or not. The horse was torn in
pieces by the train which swept around
the curve and was lost in the darkness
Our young friend walked homeward, and
determined never again to be caught on
a railroad track on horseback-at least
while INDUCING in the reveries of bach
elor. Moral: Lookout for the locomo-
tive
