PUBLIC LEDGER OFYIcE, I
MEMPHIS. TENN. March p. 1873. !


The situation as regards exchange to-
day is decidedly mixed. Some Of the
banks report gC9lc discount as their
buying rate for commercial bills
and sell sight checks at parole,
while others take &c off and sell
at lc premium, and in one instance
leading bank would have taken a
round amount at bc premium. On Mon
day the rates will probably be more
steady, but while the distribution Of cot
ton bills is confined to two or three Of
the banks, the others must in order TO
meet their counter demand, supply
themselves as best they can. New Or
leans bills are taken at s@lc, and sight
checks sold at par. The money market
is somewhat unsettled and applicants
for loans are noticed at all of the banks.
If any but gilt edged customers are ae-
commodated by those institutions, it is
by placing as collateral bonds or other
securities, the market value Of which is
nearly or quite par. On the street there
is considerable amount Of paper offer
ing, and one piece, ninety day, sold at
81 q cent. y month, that being in
dorsed, and q q cent. q month was the
lowest rates thought of by street shavers,
on paper secured by ordinary collat-
erals, such as Exposition stock, etc.
Gold was in demand at ll42,
and ll43 was paid by one dealer
for $1,000. There was a more liberal
Offering of stocks to-day, owing, of
course, to the stringency of the money
market; one party had $4,000 Mississippi
levee bonds, first district, that has been
on the market for several days at 4Oc,
but as yet have not found purchaser.
Another had $4,000 Union and Planters
Bank stock upon which 95c was the best
bid and par was the rate asked; it was
thought, however, that sac would buy
it, and we should not be surprised TO
learn of its sale at the bid made. Other
securities are nominal and are quoted

Gas Explosion and Responsibility.

Gas Explosion and Responsibility.
A singular controversy has arisen be-
tween the insurance and the gas COM
panies. AtLindeman' boarding house,
on Washington street, corner OF Center
alley, an immense volume of gas flows
into the vault of privy from sewer,
sufficient to cause an explosion and to
endanger the safety of the property.
The insurance companies apply to the
old gas company to have the leak
stopped. That institution investigates
and decides that the gas comes from the
pipes of its rival, and sends the appli'
cants to that shop. The Gayoso people
also investigate and say it is not their
gas. Both are ready to swear to their
conviction. Now, then, if an explosion
occurs and the property is destroyed,
who will pay for IT'D Here is one of the
beauties Of two gas companies.

often heard opposing the infection Of
the death penalty, but the proper
way to abolish it is for messieurs,
the assassins, to set the example.
Foster, the car-hook murderer, died
easily in twelve minutes. Peach trees
are in bloom in the suburbs and buds
are bursting into maturity beneath the
suns rays. The Mallowny-Blackwell
homicide case is still on trial in the
Criminal Court. The condition of the
Nicolson pavement is very bad on many
of the streets; by putting Tishomingo
gravel in the holes and ruts good road
would be secured. Gay young horses
and even old plugs are beginning to feel
the effects Of spring, and indulge daily

pedestrians. The officers of the Seventh

failed to pay railroad taxes, and in con-

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The continued rise from above has
not as yet grown to large proportions,
nor does it appear to be the forerunner
of food, but it justifes the prediction
that there will be a good stage of water
in both the Ohio and Mississippi until
the regular spring food comes. At
Cairo the rise yesterday was foot, and
that with what has already passed there
will swell the river here a couple of feet,
and so improve the channel at the head
of :" so 4" that large boats can pass there
heavily laden without using the lead.
The Arkansas is falling steadily, aud
we doubt if there is to-day more than
two feet six inches over Rob Roy. White
river has fair stage, and falls slowly.
The weather continues clear and pleas
ant.
