Business in financial circles remains
dull and devoid of much spirit. The
banks report collections easy, with cur
rency in good supply and money easy.
The banks continue to discount first
class at solo U cent. y annum; on the
streets money is plentiful at l3@2 y cent
q month. Brokers are paying III for
gold. Exchange is scarce and in light
supply; on New York and Eastern points
buying at par and selling at lc premium,
and on New Orleans at lc discount.
City bonds and Nicolson pavement scrip
are steady, with fair demand for the
latter. County warrants are in better
demand and held little higher. State
warrants are steady. Railroad stocks

COTTON.

The market this morning opened quiet
but firm. Liverpool was reported firm,
with middliug uplands at sgd and Or
leans at SD; sales. $1,000 bales. New
York for spot cottons was reported
quiet but firm, with middlings at lssc;
futures were quiet and steady. New Or
leans was reported easier, with middling
at lsc. In the market here there was a
fair inquiry for cottons above ordinary,
but prices are too high for many Of the
buyers. Low grades were not in much
request; holders are offering freely, but
ask full prices. The firmness and steady
advance in Liverpool and New York has
stimulated the market here, hence the
frmness of the market and indisposition
Of holders to sell except at full prices.
A few small lots Of ordinary changed
hands this morning at l3@l4c, low mid
dlings at l7i@l74c and middling at lse.
