TRADE


TRADE
is very quiet to-day, with very little
movement in any branch. The advance
in provisions elsewhere causes frmer
feeling here, but holders are slow in fol-
lowing it. To-day the lowest prices
named on mess pork is SIG so; on bacon
clear sides, 9lc; clear rib, &c, and shout
ders, tic, which, with the exception of
the price for pork, are the same prices at

to-day, with no offerings on Change.

to S2l for good to choice. The shipment
of apples and potatoes to Northern mar
kets continues, but they are not as large
as during last week. New apples are

ter being the outside price paid for

The local money market to-day exhib-
its about the same features as character
lied it yesterday. The amount of cur
rency held by the banks is fully equal to
the demand from all sources, and rates
remain firm at 10 to II per cent. Street
rates have undergone no change, and
vary from u to % per cent. per month;
the outside demand, or that coming from
those who are generally borrowers for
speculative purposes, is better, and more
paper is offered than the curbstone
officials can find place for; it is, how
| ever, not of that class termed good, and
hence its rejection.
The exchange market is less active to-
dav both in the demand and offerings.
The banks seem to be supplied with suf-
ec;ent TO meet immediate wants without
calling upon their neighbOrs. Some have
more than they wish to carry, andwould
I sell 10 their neighbors at 81 Is premium,
but cannot do so; small amsunts are
taken over the counter at par to ! pre-
MUM. and selling rates rule firm at ] to
] discount and sold at / discount to par.
Gold is bought by dealers at lll1 to
| llIl, the latter being the rate paid for
shipping lots; selling rates over the coun-
ter are III to Il2s
Local stocks, scrips, ETC., are quiet
and without important change. The de-
mand for railroad shares and bonds
seems more than usually active, and is
principally from those who wish to lock
them up, instead Of spectators. Bank
of Tennessee moneyis bought at SSl and
sold at IS. County warrants are Sc to
50 buying and selling for the new cur
reney issue, and 60 to 81 for the gold
issue. Memphis and Ohio railroad shares
are 10 to l9l; Memphis and Charleston
