Money.


Money matters are unusually quiet
to-day and very little is being done out
side of the regular routine of checking
and depositing. There has been a mode
rately fair inquiry for accommodations
at the banks, but not sufficient as yet to
cause any change in the tone of the
morket, the supply of available capital
being ample to meet the wants Of all
borrowers. Discount rates are 10 to IL
per cent at the banks and II to q per
cent per month on the street.
Eastern exchange is in light supply
and the demand is so active that cur
rency shipments to the East are made
by several of the prominent banks to
draw against. Cotton bills offer but
sparingly and are taken at their face
value. In selling ic premium is charged.
New Orleans bills are nominally ] to fc
buying and par selling.
The movement in coin is light and
confined to the purchase of small lots Of
gold at llll and sales at III.
Local investments are steady and in
demand, especially city and county in
debtedness. $500 Of the Bleckley issue
of county warrants were sold by dealer
to-day at Sic; in buying sec is the rate
paid. Bank of Tennessee money is
bought at ssc; $1,000 was sold this morn
ing at soc. Memphis city Indebtedness
is in demand, with no offerings. For
the currency issue sic is the offering
rate and for the gold issue 60 to %! is
the rate bid. Past-due coupons are IS
to soc buying and selling. Arkansas
levee bonds are nominally s6l to size
buying and selling. State bonds, rail
road and insurance stocks and bonds
are firm but quiet.
