The FINANCIAL CONDITION was I'M
changed yesterday; everywhere there is
quietude, and the on Y noticeable feat
UTe il thai the demand for money in
this district is much below what it wss
expected TO be when July came in. This
is an encouraging feature. One house
informed US that since the spring season
opened it had paid S35, 600 for sweet pO-
tstOes, Irish potatoes, peas, pears, apples,
peaches aud other sOutheTn fruits and
vegetables, and is outside OF what wheat
and other grains are beginning to real
iZs. Have we not here the secret of the
diminished demand for loans? The
grower of varied crops is becoming indie
pendent OF the banks because-either for
seed or for cOnsumptiOn-every week
something he has to dispose OF is
wanted. In this lies the secret Of
an immense increase Of southern
wealth in the future. Exchange
is quiet, with occasional shipments OF
currency; on New York buying az par,
selling at premium; on New Orleans
buying at discount, selling at par.
Local securities are quiet; we quote
county scrip at IS, fire and police scrip
5000; school notes, 81; State notes,
IS: new issue bank Of Tennessee, 20.

over 100 shares Memphis and Charles

icie, of July lst, Gays the Hamburg and
Bremen fire insurance company claims,

urally falls of, and yesterday w6s very
