MEMPHIS, TENN, April 10 l6lo.J
Business in financial circles for the
past week has ruled quiet and steady,
with little animation in banking circles,
and in fact nothing doing beyond local
checking and depositing. This morning
Madison street was exceedingly quiet.
The banks report collections easy, with
balances well kept up and currency in
abundant supply. The banks readily
discount all irst-class paper offering at
l0@l2 y cent. y annum; street rates on
short loans rule at l3@24 p cent. y
month. Exchange is steady, with the
supply equal to the demand, as follows;
Buying on New York at tc discount and
selling at tc premium; New Orleans, buy
ing at tc discount and selling at par.
Brokers are paying IL for gold, with
few transactions. There was little or
nothing doing in scrips and bonds, with
NO transactions worthy of note.
