transactions rot any moment to note

MEMPHIS. TENN, September %. 1872.
Money matters during the week have
been decidedly close, and even the large
sales Of cotton have not as yet had the
effect to make money easier. At the
banks loans are sparingly made at 10
@l2 q cent. p annum, and upon the
street three and FIVE q cent. = month
has been paid upon good paper.
Exchange has been in better supply,
and rates have settled down to 4c dis
count buying. and lc premium selling on
Northern and Eastern cities. There is
a disposition, however, to reduce the
latter to par. New Orleans bills are
taken at &c discount, and checks sold at
par.
Gold advanced to ll5s during the mid
die of the week in New York, but again
declined, and to-day is steady at ll3l@
ll3s; dealers purchases were $1,000 at
ll21.
Local investments have been decided
ly quiet until to-day, when the extreme
stringency of the money market has sent
to the street various securities for n.y.
pothecation or sale. Among them we
notice Merchants Insurance stock, Mis-
slssippi levee bonds and Mississippi and
Tennessee second mortgage bonds, but
no sales or loans were reported.

opened with an entirely new outfit, and
in a style of elegance that few establish

Converse 4 Co., the proprietors, have
spared no expense in the redecoration
and refitting of the establishment, and
their efforts in this respect are rewarded
by the warmest expressions of admira-
ton on the part of their patrons. The

Coal is so scarce at St. Louis and so
