Nothing of importance has TRANSFERRED
in financial circles since our report Of
yesterday. The recent decision of the
Supreme Court did not, as was supposed
it would, advance the price of county
warrants issued by the County Court,
nor has it affected a certain portion of
the barbour Lewis warrants TO the
extent anticipated by many. The de-
mand for money is light and is easily met
by the banks ut the current rates, 10 to
u per cent, with an occasional excep-
ton to depositors at less figure. In
the open market the rates are ! to "a
Der cent. per month, with very little pa
per Of any kind offering.
Exchange is making slowly. Eastern
commercial bills are taken at par to &c
premium, and sold at lc premium. New
Orleans bills are bought at { to &c dis
count, and sold at &c discount to par
Gold is in limited supply, and the To-
cal demand is light. Dealers but at
ll2f to ll2l for small and shipping lots,
and sell at ll3.
Local securities, stocks, scrips, etc,
are quiet and without change. Bank of
Tennessee money is bought at sc to Sic,
and sold at Sc in round lots; in a small
way, dealers sell at SOC over the counter.
County scrip, or "Bleckley warrants,
are in demand at 7s to 79c, and are sold
by dealers at so to SIC. Barbour
Lewis warrants, issued for jury ser
vice, bridge construction, etc, are in de-
mand at 50 to COO, with dealers offering
the latter rate for sums Of $4,000 and
upward, with none offering. The
scrip issued for salaries, rent ETC.,
is not in demand, nor can it
be accurately quoted. City coupons are
valued at 70 to SOC. City bonds, cur
rency issue. are quoted at 57to 5sc; gold
issue, 60 to Gle Railroad and insurance
stocks are quiet and without transae-
tons. Memphis and Ohio shares are
nominally 10 to Isle; Mississippi and
Tennessee, Is to l9c buying, and Mem
