FINANCE AND TRADE.

THE BANKS were low in amount Of
business yesterday, but lofty thermom-
eter made up and to spare for many
things that were short Of high numbers.
Exchange is an art only slightly prac-
ticed Just now, but the rules Of the game
continue the same; par buying on New
York and selling at premium; on New
Orleans, I discount and selling at par.
Gold was Gin the tantrums" yesterday.
1t opened at l14E, fell to 1144, then to
ll4g, then advanced to ia! again, and
finally closed at 1l4s. The greenbsck, like
man, is fearfully and wonderfully made,
but, unlike man, il can shrink down 10
ll42 and stretch out to ll4s, all in day,
ana vet be greenback, value 81, all
the time. The works Of nature are
wonderful, but the greenb9ck beats all
the green herbs OF the field, and no mi
croscopicslIy observing bOtsnist can
successfully classify its pro-
team phenomena. In our local
securities we could hear OF no transac-
lions OF moment. The police scrip quot
ed 80, and strong at that figure. The
Improvement was due to the acceptance
of the APPEALS proposition that citi-
Zens should state in their windows at
what rate they would take it in their
places of business. On Main street, no.
tees were to be seen: "P0lice scrip
taken at par for goods" School notes
quoted 80, but will participate, doubtless,
in all the advantages school scrip may
secure Shelby county scrip, 74975.

The COTTON MARKET yesterday APP
pesred doomed to failure, but q spinner

preston, New York and Liverpool both
again showed lower quotations, and in
