There is a moderately active demand
for money to-day, and discount rates
are firm at lO@l2 p cent. p annum on
paper maturing in thirty and sixty days.
Street quotations are l3@2 y cent. y
month on paper secured by mortgage or
collateral. Exchange is scarce, and the
shipment of currency to points North
and East is again reported. Bank trans.
actions, amounting to $4,000 are reported
at So per $1,000 premium. Cotton bills
are waited at par, aud bankers
checks on New York are sold at
ic premium. Gold is ia in New York,
and is bought by dealers at ll3i, though
some dealers quote at lib. Local in
vestments are dull. There is some de-
mand, however, for county scrip for the
payment of taxes, which dealers supply
at Csc. Bank of Tennessee money, new
issue, is in demand at Acc, and as high
as Ale was paid by one dealer to-day;
$1,000 in Gayoso gas stock was offered to-
the principal owner and stockholder of
that concern at SOC yesterday, but not
accepted, nor would he make a bid.
A small lot Of Memphis and Charleston
railroad shares are offered at 3Sc, with
no purchasers. Memphis city indebt-
edness is dull, with sale of $4,000 long
date currency bonds, with the July coui
pons at sac. The July coupons cannot
be sold at over zoe. Other stocks are
quoted as follows:
