MONEY. aI
The principal subject under discussion
in financial circles to-day is the decision
of the Supreme Court declaring the
county warrants issued by the recent
Board of County Commissioners void.
Three cases of non-residents were de.
cided yesterday, and three cases, we
learn, were decided in similar manner
to-day. AS yet the decision has had but
little effect upon the price of the war
rants other than to advance the price Of
those issued more recently. Money is
easy and rates of discount are un-
changed; the banks charge 10 to II per
cent. on No. paper having from 30 to
60 days to run, and make exceptional
rates where depositors who carry large
balances are the applicants. In the
open market II to 2! per cent. is the
current rates.
Exchange is making slowly, and il
nominally par to &c premium buying and
1c premium selling on Eastern bills
New Orleans bills are taken at to i
discount and sold at &c to par.
Transactions in coin are limited; $500
in silver halves was bought by dealer
yesterday at lO7, and $4,000 in gold was
taken yesterday and to-day at liz to
ll2f.
Local securities are generally quiet
and without movement worthy of note;
so shares of Pamela Oil stock was
sold this morning at Csc. New Ar
kansas levee Z per cent. bonds seem tt
be the feature, and with county warrants
constitute the feature of the market fol
the former bids of 80 and 35 1c have beer
refused, holders in some cases asking
from 40 to SOC. County warrants
are in demand at 10 to SOC, and are SOLD
at 81 to SIC, with some of the dealers hold
ing at s5c, in consequence of the decis
ion of the Supreme Court. Bank o
Tennessee money is bought at Sc to SIC
ond sold totax-payers at 80 to 9Oc. Rail
road shares are quietand without change
! Mississippi and Tennessee Is to l9c buy
ing; Memphis and Charleston sc to 36l
buying and selling; Memphis and Littl'
Rock Is to lSc.

perhaps, than on yesterday, and prices
