MONEY.


There is but little activity in the local
money market to-day. and no important
changes have occurred since our last report.
The bank rates of discount are 10 to II per
cent. on undoubted paper, and that's the only
class of paper that receives attention. In the
open market the rates are from IL to per
cent. per month.
In the exchange market there is increased
activity in the demand, and offerings are
meager. Thirty thousand dollars in New Or
leans bills was taken yesterday and to-day by
one of the banks at re discount. and con-
verted into New York at a slight profit. Cot
ton bills are taken at par. and New York
sight checks at par to lilo premium; selling
rates arc firm at &c premium.
Gold was in demand at 110I& to 1l05s. and is
sold at III to l1l1s; about 5000 in gold
coupons was purchased this morning at 11014.
Local securities are generally quiet, and
with one exception unchanged. Tennessee
money is bought at 70 and sold at 75c. County
warrants are p to 7Sc buying and 75c selling.
$1,000 new city bonds were sold to-day at Soc.
Memphis and Charleston railroad stock is
quiet and without demand. Mississippi and
Tennessee shares are the feature to-day. and
several combinations are in the market as
purchasers, which has caused something of an
advance in prices; 5000 was purchased this
morning by broker at size. which seems to
be the current rate
