The money market shows no marked
change either in the demand for dis
counts or supply of currency. There is
a fair inquiry for loans, but as yet no
pressing demand is mentioned by the
bank officials, and rates are steady at 10
to IL per cent
Eastern exchange is taken at 4c dis
count, and checks sold at par.
Gold is 100 in New York. A dealer s
purchase Of $4,000 was made at ll0t and
small amounts sold at ll03.
Memphis and Charleston railroad
shares are the chief feature to-day in the
way Of local investments, and just now
the market seems disturbed somewhat
by both "bull and bear" elements.
Some quote it down to Bic, when 373c
was bid and refused yesterday, and 9th
ers note offers of small sums upon the
market at 384 to 39c, and some holders
would sell at 40c. There was but one
transaction reported, that being 100
shares at &c.,. City securities are quoted
at soc for the long date currency issue,
January coupon detached, and &c is the
quotation for the gold issue. County war
rants are quiet at 80 to 93c buying and
selling. Tennessee money is bought at
"a TO Soc for the old and SEC for the new
issue, and is sold respectively at &c to 81
and BE.

The world does not contain a medici-
nal preparation which has obtained a
more widespread and deserved popu-
larity than the Mexican Mustang Lini-
ment. Since its introdu elton to public
notice, more than twerty years ago, it
has been constantly used for every kind
of disease or injury 10 man or beast
which can be affected by local applica-
ton, and SO far as its proprietors are
aware, it has not failed in a single in
stance. After so long and successful a
term of probation, who will have the
hardihood to deny its pre-eminent claims
to popular esteem. eod-d&w

A vote of thanks was rendered the st.
Andrews society for their hearty coop
Grafton.
On motion a standing committee OF
FIVE was ordered appointed by the chair,
whose duty it shall be to make provision
and arrange for the next carnival.
On motion the executive committee
adjourned sine die.
Immediately upon adjournment, DR..
Hoerner arose and, addressing Messrs.
Specht and Leubrie, said;
CENTENNIAL our last meeting the
thanks of the executive committee were
unanimously voted to you, and certain
amount Of money set apart for the pur-
pose of procuring a suitable token OF
our appreciation of your skill and inte-
rest in furthering the celebration of
Mardi- Gras, which was, by the unani-
nous verdict of the people of Memphis,
q grand success. The committee Of Sc
lection are pleased through me to pres
sent Mr.. Specht with silver service,
and Mr.. Leubrie also with a silver SER
v ice, which we hope will prove accept
able. In presenting these | do so ac-
co mpanied by the wine of Father Rhine,
exl PRESSING the hope that you may have
years of happiness added to you for as
many drops as this goblet contains.
Lou d applause.
Mr.. Specht responded, and thanked
the committee and DIR. Hoerner for the
handsome mannerin which the beautiful
present was conveyed to him. He said
he would treasure it so long as life
lasted, and he was proud to have been
able to contribute to the success of the
first Mardi- Gras celebration.
Mr.. Lenbrie, being called upon, said
DR.. Hoern or and Gentlemen of the Executive
committee; p. ...-, y
THANK you ncerely for your hand
some present, and am proud to be able
to say that am one of you. That our
Mardi- Gras was q grand success is due
to the labors of all, i. am reasonably
proud of it, not so much for the sake OF
Memphis, no so much for the enjoyment
of the occasion, but rather for the con-
summation of design that know was
dear to the he arts of all of you from the
first. We desired to unite fun with
charity, and we have succeeded. The
grand result that has attended the
efforts must ever be to US a source
of satisfaction and pride, and as
years pass away we will remember the
MaIdi Gras of 1872, not SO much for the
pleasure as the good we have done.
Every nationality was represented, and
the utmost good feeling prevailed. In
this we have an illustration of the har-
mony that will characterize Memphis
and her people in all time to come.
[Applause.
On motion of II. Tomlinson, seconded
by DIR, Hoerner, the company then adj
journed to an adjoining room, where q
sumptuons lunch claimed and received
the attention of all. Toasts were as nu
meroas as the bottles of wine the latter
flowing as freely as the Rhine. Severa
hours were passed in convivial enjoy
ment, and the company at late hour
separated, pledging each other to thu
Mardi Gras of 1873.

Cincinnati last night. Friend Cobb will
have his hands full soon.
Mr.. j. B. Maynard, commercial and
river editor of the Louisville Ledger,

boatmen of Louisville to the Cincin-

The elegant sidewheel passenger
steamer A. j. White leaves at pm. for
Napoleon and the bends. She is under
the able command of Captain Mark
Cheek, with Messrs. Fields and Sharpe
as clerks.
The Sallie V. will doubtless enter the

New Town as day packet.
The gay steamer Belle st. Louis will
be up early in the morning, and departs
at noon for Cairo and St. Louis. Capt
Blake is in command, and the popular
Grissom is secretary.
The New Orleans papers state that
complaints are again being made
against the encroachments of the New
Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad upon
levee front, the railroad allowing their
cars to blockade severpl streets and por-
tons of the levee. AS matters now
stand, the steamboatmen are subjected
to great additional expense, by reason
Of the necessity of having their cotton
rolled around two or three long sleep
ing coaches, process which occupies
several minutes more to perform than to
roll the cotton across the track. These
few minutes to each laborer amount to
an important part of the day, when it is
considered that very often no fewer than
three hundred hands are employed, at
an average cost Of three dollars each
day.
The Mary Boyd will hardly get her
cargo on board in time to leave this

Itnow seems that Commodore Rolling
pin, nee Carter, Of the St. Louis Times,
was the "pusson" who beat the grand
jock out of a ride on the Howard. He
Carter shipped here as pastry cook on
the Howard, and wrote up the trip while
baking ducal wafles and dishing out
royal sweetmeats. In his letters to his
paper he gives a full account Of the
duke, his style of living, and his habits
in a more complete manner than has
heretofore been done since the advent OF
the Russian on American soil.
The Vicksburs Times says
The clipper Natchez left on time with
l0l6 bales of the staple. Her mate got
into an alteration yesterday morning
with one of the roustabouts, in which
he used pistol, but not with fatal ef-
feet. He was taken before Squire Bur
ton and bound over in the sum of $4,000
to answer the charge of assault with in
tent to KILL besides being fined $25 and
costs for contempt of court, and $40 for
assault and battery.

which was addressed by the Hon. Z. X. Apgar.
The Springfield Republican says: Mr.. Sum-
ners health is too poor TO permit him TO take active
part in the political at presents but he will prob
ably publish another letter before the Maine election"
The announcement that ex-GOv. Curtin had
been nominated for Congress by the Grant Republicans
of the Xth Pennsylvania District proves TO have been
false. He nominated by one county, but was de-
teaed n the District Convention by vote OF q to ss for
Ii. Walton.
The Central Committees of the Liberal Re-
publican, the Democratic and TIE Reform Republican
parties Of Arkansas have each chosen three Of their
