MEMPHIS. TENN.. September q. 1872.
The large sales of cotton has the eff
feet to ease money matters, but the stu
alton is still close and stringent at New
York, as well as at Northern cities, in.
GLIDING st. Louis, where, on Thursday,
mercantile paper was discounted at 2 q
cent. g month. There has been loans
made by the banks at 10 2 cent. p an
Eum for sixty day paper, but this is an
exception, and was for customer whose
balance is large. Street rates we quote
at 3 q cent. p month.
Exchange is more steady, and cotton
bills are Offering freely. One bank took
$40, 900 to-day at C discount, and 9TH
ers reported various amounts, from $4,000
to $4,000, at the same rate. In selling
sc premium is the rate charged now, but
1t is more than probable that par will be
the rate next week. New Orleans bills
are taken at ic discount, and exchange
sold at par.
Offerings of coin are larger, the recent
squirt in New York having had the
effect to unearth some of that held for
an occasion of the kind. One dealer to-
day bought $50, 900 gold at / l2a and 5000
in silver quarters and halves at l07 In
New York the rate today is steady at
ll35.
Local investments have not as yet
fully recovered from the effects of a
close money market We learn, how
ever, that ITO was offered and refused
for German National Bank stock. Last
evening $4,000 warrants were sold by a
dealer at &c, and to-day $4,000 Arkansas
levee bonds, July coupon attached, were
begging buyer at l9c, but none could
be found. A few shares Memphis and
Ohio railroad stock sold at l9c, and Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee second mortgage
bonds we're on the market at IL c
Charleston railroad stock is quoted 29G9
SOC.
Regarding the money and gold market
the New York Bulletin of the 18th says
" In the money market the opening rate
was 3 {. cent. on call There was an
advance before one o'clock to I 2 cent
for gold, and on the street before the
close of bank hours as high as ! of
q cent q day was paid. There was a
large crowd of brokers on the street after
bank hours who were unable to get
money with which to make up their
bank accounts, except at the extreme
rate quoted. The cause of the advance
of money was the Erie and the gold cor
ners, which together have absorbed funds
usually available to general borrowers.
Of course rates were bid up on the street.
The greatest misfortune is that the bank
reserves have been steadily diminishing
until now they are so low that they can
afford little or no assistance without
trenching on their reserves, which un-
fortunately the law does not permit them
to do.

Freights to New Orleans have dragged

business is very heavy and increasing,
especially down freights. The different
lines cannot get it away from Keokuk as
fast as it arrives, and will have to put in
some extra boats in day or two to clear
up the accumulation"

AN INCIDENT.
Nine years ago, yesterday, the battle
of Chickamauga was fought. On that
day General Patton Anderson, of the
Confederate army, and General Lyttle,
Of the Federal army, warm personal
friends, met face to face with their brig
AIDES, and after fierce struggle General
Lyttle, the gentlemanly soldier and i'm
FASHIONED poet, was killed and his brigade
repulsed. A short time previous Gene
raj Anderson met General Lyttle at
Bridgeport, and a MISUNDERSTANDING Of
courtesies took place even on the eve of
battle. After the fight some of the SOL
diers captured the personal effects of
General Lyttle, and upon learning this
General Anderson caused the articles to
be turned over to him, and he forthwith
had them conveyed to General Lyttles
family. Nine years after that occur
renee General Anderson closed his eyes
in his last long sleep, and in the great
mysterious world of spirits perchanee,
has Joined the man whom he never
ceased to remember as friend, though
he recognized him as an enemy.
