The Great Week--Devel0pme of
system and Order-The ExpOsf-
dion n Fairy hcene-An Immense
Attendance Expected During the
week. RI
Last week the management, directors,
exhibitors and workmen exerted them
selves to complete all the arrangements
and perfect the display. All this may
be said to be done now. The hall and
galleries are crowded with elegantly ar
ranged articles, and the Exposition is
under full headwoy. During the week
thousands will arrive from the coun-
try on excursion trains, in order to
take in the Exposition and the
County Fair. Those of our citizens
who visited the Expositions at Nash
vile, Louisville and Cincinnati state
that our Exposition will compare
favorably with either of them, and in
many departments excels all Of them.
The Exposition grew into life beneath
the enterprisiDg efforts Of the Mechanics
Institute, and was fostered and en-.
couraged by the press of the city.
President Nelson and his able Board Of
Directors deserve the highest praise for
the manner in which they have per-
formed their whole duty since they took
charge of the work. Some evening dur.
ing the week the Sunday school children
of the city, numbering many hundreds,
will sing at the Exposition. This will
be charming feature, and will attract
thousands of visitors. The directors of
the Sunday School Union will meet this
afternoon at four o'clock in order to
perfect the necessary arrangements.
By way of adding to the attractions Of
the Exposition the children of our pub
lie schools should attend in body
Our German singing societies and our
city bands could no doubt be induced to
give a grand vocal and instrumental
concert at some designated time.
A number of fine paintings were
placed in the Art Gallery to-day. A
beautiful India ink portrait of General
Lee, BY DR.. Warren C. White, of Holly
Springs, is generally admired as being
the best portrait in existence Of the great
Southern soldier.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. October q. 1872.
Nothing new or interesting was devel'
eped in the money market to-day. The
banks are loaning but little, and are re-
serving their surplus currency for the
movement of cotton this week, which,
from the present aspect of affairs, will
double that of any week this seasan.
Rates Of discount are steady at 1O@l2
z cent, and upon the street the rate is
BOA y cent. q month.
Transportation of currency con-
tinues, several os the banks to-day re-
ceiving from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
offerings of cotton bills are large. The
engagements for to-day will foot up
somewhere in the neighboThood Of
$3.50, 900, all of which was taken at &c
discount on the principal Eastern points,
and engagements made to-day for the
week will amount to $500, 0Oe, one bank
alone having been notified of $500, 600
by its customers. One transaction of
$4,000 is reported between banks at lc
discount, and in selling Eastern checks
par is the counter rate.
The offerings Of coin are light, Some
small lots of silver we're taken by bro
kers at LOG, and liz was the rate paid
for gold, the New York rate being 1871
at the opening, and &c lower at the
close.
Local securities are neglected, The
demand for county warrants are inn
proving, and soc seems to be the buying
and 92c the selling rate to-day.
