MEMPHIS. TRIM. June 8. 1874. I


Business in financial circles remains
quiet and devoid of much animation.
The banks report collections easy, with
currency in good supply and the money
market working easy. The DeSote Bank
has retired from business and been
merged into the Bank of Commerce.
The discount market is unchanged; all
first class paper offering is freely taken
by bankers at SOTO y cent. y annum;
on the streets money is plentiful at 40
2 y cent. U month. Brokers are paying
'lll4@lll4 for gold, with little offering.
Exchange continues scarce; on New
York, Boston and Eastern points buying
at par and selling at tc premium, and on
New Orleans at 4c discount. The rates
between banks is 81 U $1,000. Scrips and
bonds, and in fact securities Of every
kind remain quiet, with little movement
in the market and no transactions wor-
thy of note.

COTTON,

The market this morning opened quiet
and inactive, with light demand. New
York for spots was reported dull, with
nothing doing, prices weak and ic lover
to sell; futures were easy. Liverpool was
reported unchanged, with middlings at
sS@ssd, Orleans at sgd and sales of TO-
600 bales. New Orleans was quoted
quiet, with middlings at l7ac. The
weakness and dizziness of the Liverpool
ard Eastern markets had a correspond.
ing effect on the market here. Buyers
we're not disposed or anxious to make
purchases. The demand, which was
light, was mostly for bright cottons.
Prices were irregular and nominal, few
spinners taking several small lots of
ordinary at l23@l23c, low middlings at
l6f@l6lc and middlings at l7s@l7ic.
