pointed to address the General Council upon
the subjsct. No changes Of importance have
occurred in our local money market tince our
last weekly review. and the banks generally
have experienced rather monotonous time.
There is but few applicants for money who
are termed by the banks first-class, and all
other paper offered is scrutinized very closely.
Rates Of discount are steady at lO9l2 cent.
The situation regarding exchange has been
close one. and many of the banks have been
shippers of currency. During the latter part
Of the week the rates between banks was

and but little exchange is made from that
source Counter rates are par buying and

par selling on New Orleans.
Gold is bought by dealers at llO1z; $1,000
in gold coupons were taken by dealer at

Tennessee money is scarce and bought by
dealers at $50. the selling rate being 90@9lc.
In city investments there is an improved feel

were also several bids Of 521zc from brokers on
round amounts. but no purchases reported.
Memphis past-due coupons are s0@S5e, with
no Transactions. Railroad stocks are more
active also There is an inquiry for Memphis
and Ohio, but none offering. Memphis and
Charleston has declined during the week,

present movement by the 'bears" to put
down the price by throwing few hundred

The movement during the week has been
anything but active. and yet with the light
stock on hand and the, inactivity of other
markets, we have but little reason to com
plain. The average daily sales here will nearly
equal those ut New Orleans. Prices have been
steady during the week. and even the effort.
made once or twice by the New York I" bears"
to break the market. was a signal failure each
time. Saturdays sales were 1000 bales. To-
days kilograms indicate " bearish - feeling
in New York and dull market at Liverpool,
while at the ports there is a steady feeling,
and here an upward movement in prices is an
ticipated. Factors cling to their fine eottons.
but for low and medium grades they find a
very light demand. Sales up to the close Of
