MONEY.
Nothing Of unusual interest has trans
pired in local monetary affairs since our
last report The demand for discounts
is small and the supply of currency fully
equal to any demand that may arise.
Rates of interest are firm at 10 to II per
cent. at the banks and II to per cent.
on the street.
In the exchange market there is moth
ing new. Cotton bills are coming in
slowly, and are taken at par. Eastern
bank exchange is bought at &c and sold
at lc premium. New Orleans bills are
bought at &c discount and sold at par. |
Very little is being done in gold. The
closing rate at New York last night was
III; to-day it opened at that price, but
soon rose to ll2f; dealers buy at lila to
llls and sell at lI2f. 1.
Local securities are quiet. There is
an improved demand for city bonds,
and rates are fraction higher. $4,000 |
of the gold issue were sold upon tele-
graphic order in New York, to-day, at
Gle. The currency issue is quoted |
56@57c buying and selling, but we doubt
whether any could be found at either
price. Bank Of Tennessee money is
bought at SOC and sold at S2c County
warrants are taken at 73c and sold at
75c. Memphis and Charleston stock is
36@37c buying and selling; Mississippi |
and Tennessee, l8@2Gc buying and sell
ing.
COTTON.
Sales yesterday we're 500 bales, the |
market before the close of business fully
recovering from the nervousness occa-
stoned by the decline in New York. To
day there is better demand conse-
quent upon a more steady feeling and
upward tendency in New York and an
advance of nearly I'd in Liverpool.
Factors are now firmly impressed with
the belief that there will be no material
reduction in prices during the remainder
of the season and establish their prices
accordingly, Buyers are in the market
for all grades. and not the least active
among them are factors. Sales up to
noon were $50 bales, including one table
of 800 bales strict ordinary at l5c, SO
strict good ordinary at l5c, Z ordinary
at l4lc, 81 do. at l43c, A shy low mid
ding at l5e, IL strict good ordinary at
l5c, 10 low middling at l6sc, 80 average
at l64c, Is middling at l7ic,
and numerous small lots Receipts
were 1923 bales; shipments, l5l;. stock,
1895.
By an actual count Of the stock on
hand made to-day by the Secretary of
of the Chamber of Commerce, an excess
of l45l bales over the running statement
was found which increases the stock on
hand to 1895 bales, of which amount
2768 bales are at the presses and await
ing shipment-making total receipts to
