FINANCE AND TRADE.

MONETARY AFFAIRS pursue their un-
changed routine. The demand for
money continues to be moderate; rates
in the banks ten per cent. per annum;
on the street 2924 per month. Ex-
change dull and unchanged. Gold open
cd in New York at 1l4j, advanced TO
ll4., and at noon quoted lis; the Mem
phis brokers were giving Il3i@ll33.
The New York Bulletin observes:
UThere are reasons for anticipating that
the rate OF interest may break away,
within the next few months, from the
excessively low figures so long current.
The specie portion of the reserves will
probably fall below the amount usually
held in the fall season, for gold con:in-
uss 10 be actively exported, and the sec
relary Of the treasury is credi'ed with a
purpose to hOsTd coin, 81 far as possible,
preparatory to resumption. This would
tend II keep the reserves lower than
they otherwise would be. 1t would not
seem too sanguiDe TO indulge g
hope that there may be come i'm
provement in the tone OF the fall bust
ness, attended with a somewhat greater
activity in the loan market. These
reasons seem 10 warrant the expectation
Of some advance upon the low rates for
money; but nevertheless an easy money
market is in the highest degree prOba-
bic" Shelby county scrip was taken
by brokers at 74lG75; at the latter rare
one dealer took 5000. Fire and police,
mainly in consequence OF causes we
have already pointed out, was higher,
brokers giving SSiG9O. School scrip is
rarely offered, but it is advancing in
sympathy with other city scrip, brokers
giving 80. A lot Of $500 Charleston rail
rCa stock sold at 5, and more could find
takers at the same figure. State notes
quoted SSd90, and new issue Bank OF
tennessee 20. Nothing doing in NicOl-
son pavement scrip.
THE COTTON MARKET has little inter.
est jus. now, because 1t is so absolutely
subjected 10 outside influences. New
York was dull and again lower; Liver
pool was again l0weT-what could resist
Influences 80 powerful? Our official
quotations show lower figures. The pc.
sitiou Of affairs in England, the closing
OF mills and the important failures
there, are awakening strong doubts as
10 the possibility of securing good prices
next season. The days business was
without animation. The closing tele-
grams were as follows: New York dull
and lower atl5lc; sales, 1914 bales. New
Orleans dull at l5Ec; sales, $50 bales; re-
ceipts, "A bales. Liverpool irregular and
lower at : l-l6d; Orleans, 5-16d; sales,
5000 bales, OF which 1850 bales were
American. Savannah, 14lc; Mobile,
I45c; Charleston, l4!c; Galveston,
l44c; Wilmington, 143c; Baltimore, l5Bc;
Norfolk, l5c; Boston, l55c; Augusta,
