MONEY.

There is no change of importance to men
ton in the condition of local monetary affairs
to-day, and, excepting the usual daily rou-
tine of checking and depositing, but little has
been done. The rates of interest range from
10 T. II per cent at the banks and u to 81
per cent. per month on the street, with very
little increase in the demand for accompoda-
tions from either source. The market is work
ing rather closer, but is not stringent. and will
not be perhaps during the summer.
The exchange market rules steady, and is
unchanged. The banks take cotton bills at
par and Eastern bank exchange at &c pre-
MUM, selling at &c premium on Eastern and
par on New Orleans.
Gold is in better demand but offerings are
limited; dealers buy at Ill aud sell at New
York rates. At the opening in New York to-
day the rate was lll5S, after which itadvaneed
to 1l1s<.
Local securities are quiet, with but little
change. Memphis 6s are in demand at 55c.
and are sold by dealers at 561<c for the new
currency issue. The gold issue is firm at 90 to
81 buying and selling. Past-due coupons are
quoted dull at 6s to zoe buying and selling.
County warrants are quiet at y to ne buy
ing and selling. Bank Of Tennessee money is
bought readily at 7Se and sold at IS. Memphis
and Charleston railway shares are in demand
at S51zc and are sold at 3614c. Some small
were reported to-day at Sc. Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee stock is decidedly
quiet and but little is said Of it. There are
purchasers in the market at 45c, and perhaps
the MeConbs clique" would go higher.
They cannot click high enough, however.

SHERIFF MAcKEY's HoTEL-A BoARDER At
rEMp1s TO TAKE FRENCH LBAvEvAugust Hartzer'
one OF the permanent white boarders at this popn-
Lar ca ravansary, sailor, who was committed on
the charge or stealing two bales Of cotton from
ship In the harbor, some two months ago. made
determined attempt to escape from his quarters
on Saturday night. With diminutive ME. lie
cut the bolt to the door OF his department, after
the turnkey had gone the rounds, and, getting
into the corridor, he proceeded to WincoW IN
the tower. where he again went to WORK WIN MS
nle. IEe had succeeded Ia cutting through two Of
the bars in this window when he was discovered
by fellow prisoner, who called the jatlor HOW
he CAME by this small instrument, which he used
with slch perseverance and dexterity, is still
mystery.
This Is the third attempt made BY Hartzer to et'
feet his escape within few weeks past. The
first time he made rope twenty feet long, out OF
his blankets, with the intention OF lowering him:
self from the tower, but the rope was discovered
before he had an opportunity OF making the at
tempt On the second occasion he seized the un-
suspectIng turnkey, aud before this redoubtable
functlonary could say "Jack Robinson" he was
securely ssbucked and gagged" While the despe.
rate prisoner was fumbllng about his passive VIC
tim for the keys, he was discovered IN the act oy
another prisoner, who called the assistant jailor
to the rescue, and Hartzsr was once more sscur-
ed He Is an active and ingenious fellow, but the
sharp watch which is now kept upon his move
ments will probably prevent any further attempts
of this kind. The hotel Is well patronhed at
