| 1850 bales below the same time last year.
Watts d Brothers Liverpool circular, OF July
9Th: Assuming that our present estimate OF
| stocks held by English spinneTs Is not excess
| i've and il appears that they now hold about
| 1000 bales more than on the eighteenth Of
| April last, say seven weeks ago, and within
u 900 bales Of the maximum held last year,
| and within % 900 OF the maximum held In
1876. There Is, however, this difference to
| be observed Last year they (spinners) held
their maximum stock on the twenty 9th Of
January, when mIdding upands were at
8 l5-l6d; they then commenced purchasing
so sparingly, and the imports were so large,
that by the twenty-fourth of May the stock
here had increased 466, 600 bales from 724,-
600 on the twenty fifth Of January to ! $780,
000-the maximum Of the year-on the
twenty fourth o. May and prices
were run down l1zd per pound. That was
a hard blow on tse spinneTs. Now we
hope, and believe, it will turn ont differently;
their present stock having been purchased
perhaps an I'D to I'D under present quota
tons, and as the stock here will undoubtedly
decline quite rapidly for some five or SIX
months, the investment viii doubtless prove
profitable one, aud thus help what has for
months past been tue specially depressed de-
partment of the general trade. The cotton
spinning operatives Of Lancashire, England,
after some two months Of idleness, nave &C
cepted the situation and agreed to 90 to work
at the ten per cent reduction which their en-
ployers asked OF them IN the beginning. The
los grades IF American cotton are noted as
especially scare, both IN this country and IN
Europe Daring the week ending June 9th,
hey advanced "a IN the Liverpool market,
while the better classes showed but l-l6d
better prices "
Receipts in Memphis during the official
week aggregated 924 bales, against S97
bales the previous week, and Jl9 bales the
corresponding week last season, and 719
bales the season before The total receipts
since September l, 1877, were 406, 525 bales,
against $50 6l2 ba'es at the corresponding
9l3 bales Totalreceipts same time in 1876
was 4S0, 995 bales.
Shipments during the Official week aggre-
gated 1881 bales ag INST 1922 bales the

FINANCIAL.

During the last week not a single thing
novel or interesting was reported from our
banks. Money continues abundant with
very moderate demand for 1t, at generally 3
per cent. Exchange remained at par buying
and x premium selling on New York: on
other eastern cities par buying, and Il preni-
um selling for both demand and sight; on
New Orleans, II discount buying, selling at
par. The New York Times Of Friday, reports:
"Ihe following were the rates of exchange on
New York at the aforementioned cities: SA
vannah- buying, Is; selling Il premium.
Charleston easy, offerings light: 3-16@l5
premium, L premium. New Orleans-com-
mercIal, Lilo; bank, u premium. st. Louis,
lilo or m um. Chicago, Soc premium. Bos-
ton, I213c discount Silver in London is SD
per ounce. At the New York price
the bullion value of the Alp grain
silver dJilar is S0S97l in gold. The
New York Tribune remarks: at Is useless
to deny that there Is a great want of conf
deucs, and until this is restored and the la
boring classes are furnished with steady and
lucrative employment, and the machinery of
trade u placed IN active operation, we cannot
look for higher rates for money or 4 change
from the present unsatisfactory and unproht-
able sta Of stfairs. To-day call loans on
stock collaterals were from 3 down to per
cent, with a good deal done at the lower
rate; on government bonds the large dealers
still report , per cent The New York
World has the following: 1--WE understand
the governing committee of the stock ex-
change have adopted a law forbdding uro-
kers on hGnueto sell dividends; if they wish
to do that they must 90 elsewhere. Congress
did not pass The bal TO receive legal /, ers
for customs duties, nor did il repeal the re-
sumption bill. Four per cent bonds can be
sold only for coin. These things make it
important that coin and paper should come
together. The treasury must issue silver
certificates If holders of silver dollars
demand It, but II can abolish gold certificates
as that issue Is not required, only allowed.
This adjustment would give leRal-tenders a
value they cannot possess while warehouse
receipts for gold are issued. There will be
no peace until paper money is on a par with
gold. BY continuing to issue gold certificates
the government discTedits its own legal tender
notes, and the present is an excellent oppor-
tunity to break up once for all so bad prac-
tee" Such are the opinions OF the World,
and they show, at least, that until we know
what the policy and construction of the treas
ury will be, we are In the dark as to what is to
be the financial system of the country under
the resumption taat is to take place in Janu-

Our last review of the official week of the
Memphis cotton market quoted middling cot
ton in New York at ii &c, declined during
the week 70 IL 7-I6c; New Orleans quoted
ll4c, declined to ll1sc; Liverpool quoted
5-16i, declined to 6lid. Memphis quoted
l116c, and so remained. This statement
shows some decline at the principal markets
but Memphis. The reaction from the first
strong hopes Of peace apparently sent Liver
pool a little beyond the point she is able to
sustain, for advices thence have been less firm
during the week, although the relief to Man
chester from the sale OF goods during the
strike, the return.to work CT a large portion
of the striking hands, and the low stocks of
cotton. keep the tone there fairly hrm. New
York was on a basis of price largely due to
bull manipulations, any weakening at Liver
pool was bound to affect that market uniavor-
ably. In Memphis the very low stock kept
up the price in spite OF other influences; only
$500 bales appear on the running
statement. Take away what Is sold
and not shipped, and it is seen that
we have very little dlsposable cotton In this
market. We have received $4,000 bales OF
cotton more than last year, yet our stock Is
