PUBLIC LKDGEE 0YYIoE,
MEnPHIs. TESs.. May IA. lSlS.J
To-day financial circles are "agitated
only over the sale Of the Gayoso Gas
Company, on account Of its bonded
debt, as mentioned in another column.
The monetary situation is unchanged,
but bankers begin to complain Of the
approach Of fly time" However, not
outstanding the prospect of early
stringency, and the general dizziness that
pervades almost all branches Of business
collections are very prompt and salts
factory, aud the banks seem to have no
cause for complaint on that score. The
demand for discounts is still met very
favorably as a rule at the usual rates
lO@l2 y cent. q annum. Exchange is
scarce once more, and while the buying
rate for Eastern commercial bills is par,
there are banks who would purchase
from their neighbors at 81 premium, but
failing to obtain any, they are sending
currency to several points North and
East. New Orleans bills are not wanted
at better than s@lc discount, and there
is little profit, eonversionally speaking,
even at those rates. Bank checks on
all points North and East are sold at ic
premium, and on New Orleans at par.
Gold opened at ll7B in New York, and
at noon was ll7i. Dealers here pay but
ll6I@lI6l, and claim that there isn't
sufficient margin even at those rates for
shipping lots, taking into consideration
the fact that short weight causes them a
discount of about 1872 p cent. average
on round amounts of old coin. AS an
instance of this one bank to-day was no
tilted by its New York correspondent
to-day that on lot of $4,000 shipped the
short weight was $24. Silver is taken
at lOs for halves and quarters. With
respect to local securities there IS
little to be said outside of the "rumpus"
created in Gayoso gas shares, the small
holders of which are left out in the
cold" as it were, and can only shift for
themselves. We hear, however, that an
application will be, or has been, made to
set aside the sale of the works. This
may or may not add new feature to the
already mixed affairs Of that con-
Germ. Memphis and Charleston railroad
stock is dull. Last night dealer pur-
chased triAing lot of 10 shares at 2o8c,
and perhaps would sell at margin of l
r cent. Other securities we quote
nominally as follows: Memphis gold
skies, ex-coupon, 57@5Sc; currency,

COTTON.

To-day's Liverpool dispatches indicate
a better feeling in that market, and an
advance of Lied is anticipated, while on
the other hand New York is down &c
since our yesterday report. Sales here
yesterday were 800 bales. To-day, how
ever, whether from an increased demand
or reduction of freight rates we are not
advised, but there was considerable
movement, and sales footed up 800 bales,
including low ordinary to ordinary at
Toe; ordinary, lie; good ordinary, $50
Isle; low middling at l6i@l7@c, and
middling at lSc.

on Union street. Mr.. Thomas was for
merly OF the firm Malone, Thomas d
Co., and at the time Of his death was the
leading member Of the firm Of John f.

Chinese Burials.

If the family be settled in any part
away from the neighborhood of their an
cestral burying-place, it becomes neces-
sary for them to seek out lucky spot for
the burial of their deceased relative. In
many cases the coffin is kept for years in
the room where the ancestral tablets are,
and sometimes it is temporarily laid in a
sort of .dead-house, hired or constructed
for the occasion, until it can be transport
ed to the original sepulcher of the family,
or until lucky spot can be discovered.
The Chinese are very superstiiious on this
point, and even in times of epidemic will
often insist on retaining collins in their
houses, and, as far as we are aware, there
is no sanitary or other authority TO inter
fere and protect the health of the com
munity. Many will doubtless say that
all danger on this score is sufficiently
| obviated by the care with which most
collins are prepared; but the evidence Of
our senses, in cholera season at Pekin,
| has taught us that the contrary is fire.
| quently the case Families at the very
| bottom Of the social scale, for economy's
| sake, often inter their deceased relations
| within few days Of their death, but this
practice is much looked down upon, and
is considered proof of the parties being
| sunk in the lowest depths of pcnury, as
well as wanting in due respect to the de-
parted. Professors of the art of Fengshui
literally wind and water, or geomancy,
are consulted on the subject of lucky place
for scpulture. In Central and Southern
China the SUBMITS and sloping sides of UNI
cultivated hills are the most favorite spots,
especially if near water, and with south
aspect. COfiins arc also buried in fields,
more particularly in the North, and, If our
memory serves us, we have seen more than
one large cemetery filled with low graves,
and surrounded by dwarf mud fences, in
the flat country outside the walls of Pekin.
Again, to the west Of Chinkiang-oncc a
fourishing city on the bank Of the river
YangtsZe, at the entrance to the southern
portion of the Grand Canal-we have
rambled over hills where graves are as
thick as they well can be; many OF these,
in shape very much like a horseshoe, are
even now still well kept and carefully
| tended by pious relatives Of the departed,
although the town itself is sadly fallen
| from the position it enjoyed before the
| rebels held il and leveled its prosperous
suburbs with the ground. Rich families
often spend large sums of money over
| their burial places, adjoining them with
| life-sizc figures Of various animals in mar
| BILE, but the remains of friendless and poor
! strangers are deposited in any waste and
vacant piece of ground, with merely a
| slip Of wood to mark the spot. All classes
in the country, however, do their very best
to have as snowy place Of sepulture for
| their dead as they possibly can, and to OBJ
tain this end they are willing To make
great sacrifices.-1H the Year Round.
