Money has been in fair demand dur
ing the week, and rates have been firm
at 10 to IL per cent. discount. To-day,
however, there is but a slight demand
from Front street merchants, and but a
moderate inquiry from the dry goods
and boots and shoe trade on Main street,
those merchants having made prepare
tions TO lay in large stock Of spring
goods. Rates Of discount remain firm
at 10 to IL per cent.
At some Of the banks exchange is
reported in good supply, while others
are being accommodated by their
neighbors at 81 25 per $1,000 discount.
The counter rates are steady at 4c dis
count buying and par selling.
Gold is ll03 in New York, and is
bought by dealers at 1898 to ITO.
Local securities are without marked
change. The only transaction re-
ported to-day is $4,000 navy yard
bonds at 60lc. County warrants, in
small amounts, are bought by dealers at
90c, but for large amount S9c is, per-
maps tue DesL price thht COulu NC oU-
tanned while the selling rates range from
924 to 93c. City securities are quoted
at soc for the long date currency issue,
January coupon detached, and 62c is the
quotation for the gold issue. Tennessee
money is bought at "a to s5c for the old
and 36c for the new issue, and is sold re-
spectively at Sc to 81 and Bic. AS
money is getting easier, we notice an in
creased demand for local securities. To-
day there was some inquiry for Mem
phis and Charleston stock and city
bonds but no offers reported for either.

there by three white men. He expected
some trouble, as he had difficulty with
the boat owners and wanted Hodges and
Henderson to go with him and stick to
him. Reynolds went to a neighboring
cabin and brought back three pistols;
he gave Hodges and Henderson one

GEORGE HENDERSON
is bright-looking mulatto, possessing a
good face, and aged about twenty-six
years. He made similar statements as
to Reynolds telling them that he had
committed robberies. His account of
the shooting differed from that of
Hodges in this; He said that Hodges
fred one shot at the white men before
they left That night Reynolds gave
him one dollar and Hodges two dollars
and told them to leave. They went up
the river ten miles to landing, and got
on board the Phil Allin for Memphis.
Both men denied doing any shooting,
but admitted everything else connected
with the mystery. Their statements
implicated several other negroes, but for
obvious reasons we suppress the names
of these parties. Warrants were sworn
out before the recorder, and Hodges and
Henderson will Lave hearing to-mor-
row morning, and will, no doubt, be
committed to Jail to await a requisition
from the governor of Arkansas.
