Oxafars. Fish. Game.

The great oyster, fish and game de-
pot of Memphis is located at No. Al
Jefferson street, between Main and Sec
ond, and is presided over by the we'll
known Victor d. Fuchs. Victor has re-
fitted and painted up his fish and game
store. preparing for the oyster season
just opened. In rear Of his store vast
number OF ice boxes, filled with the best
and freshest Baltimore and Norfolk
biyalves, tells the tale that Victor is in
advance of all other dealers in the oys-
ter trade. During the last two weeks
cases of oysters have been disappearing
from the game depot in great numbers.
This was explained by Victor, who stated
that he had been supplying his Memphis
customers, and had been shipping oys-
tiers to country dealers. Indeed, the
oyster trade has opened early, and with
increased demand. In view of these
facts Victor has made arrangements to
receive daily the best Baltimore and
Norfolk oysters, packed in ice and de-
liyered in Memphis in fresh state. The
finest New Orleans and Northern lake
fish can be found in, a few days at Fuchs
game depot. If you want the best and
largest Baltimore and Norfolk oysters,
80 to the great oyster, fish and game de-
pot at Al Jefferson street, and you will
be supplied by Victor.

Money

As the season advances our merchants are
looking to the banks for some assistance, but
will require very little. compared to the as
sistance rendered during the season just
passed. As general rule. the planters are
in more aourishing condition than since
before the war. and are all laboring
vigorously to regain, financially, the
standing held by them. The discouraging
reports Of crop prospects. the worm. shedding
of bolls. drouth. etc.. has had the effect to ad-
vance prices materially. and the indications
are that better prices will be paid. and the
planter will receive nearly as much for the
crop raised as he would had the yield been as
large as was anticipated earlier in the season.
There is but little to say of the local money
market. The demand is not pressing. though
active enough to employ the surplus funds OF
the banks. Rates of discount are firm at 10 to
u per cent. at the banks and vary from IL to
"a per cent. on the street.
Exchange is in abundant supply and dis
position is manifested on the part of some OF
the banks to unload in order to obtain cur
rency. Rates between banks are 81 % pre-.
MUM per $1,000. In buying over the counter
par is paid for cotton bills, and in selling New
York checks &c premium is charged. New
Orleans bills are bought at u to Nc discount

demand on the Deputy Tax Collector on
Privileges for list of delinquent privi-
lege taxpayers. The list is being made
out and counts up about two hundred
names. On commencing business you
have to file bond with the Tax Col
lector to pay the privilege tax and make

in many instances been forfeited for
non compliance with the statute, and
the Attorney General proposes to en-
force the pc nalty of the bonds at the

be avoid ed and the proposed prosecu-
ton ended. If this course is not pur-
