LAND WARRANTS.
FINANCIAL.

There Is nothing new to report in f.
nancisl matte 5. The demand for money
is good, and the banks accommodate their
customers on short time at the rate of ten
per cent per annum. The street rates are
about one per cent. per month.
Exchange on New York is firm and in
demand. Bankers checks are taken at par
while drafts drawn on shipments Of cotton
and other produce are taken at of. The
banks sell at the rate OF 81 per thousand
premium.
Gold is excited and stronger, opening in
New York at 1854, advancing to 1l6f, de-
clining to 1164, and closing at 116I. Our
dealers pay 115 and sell at l16s. Silver
Is. taken at 100 for halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds are quoted In New
York at 65 and at 4Ta49c. We hear of
no sales in this market.
COmptrOller's warrents are quiet with
but little demand by taxpayers. Brokers
buy at 81 and sell at 1895.
Nashville and Decatur railroad stock is
in demand at 40d47. It Is known that the
April demand Of 3 per cent will be prompt
ly paid, and hence holders are not disposed
to sell. Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis railroad stock is weak at %. The
holders Of this stock are rather apprehen-
sive they will be fooled in their dividend
on the first Of April. Dividend day is
near at hand, yet no dividend has been de-
clared, and whether it has been washed
away by the freshet or whether advices
from New York are unfaVorable, outside
stock holders don't know.
Our local stocks and bonds are quiet.

characteristic of all his official actions,
has appointed editors as inspectors,

of the Milan Exchange, Enloe, Of the

tons Of the last named gentleman are
undoubted. With his long experience
no one Will ever be able to fool him
with a.cheap article Of benzine, and it
will take the best kind Of oil to with
stand the fire test Of his hair. 1t is to
be hoped that a similar appointment
will be rendered to DOak, for since
wildcat scalps are to be taken IN Day
ment OF the dog tax at one dollar each,
