COMMERCIAL.
PUBLIC LEDGER 0FPIoE,
MEMPHIS. March 10 1870

An active spring trade is promised
here as well as elsewhere throughout
the country, and while a considerable
Quantity of money is required in trade
yet the market was never easier moi
more amply supplied. 1t is estimated
that nearly $2,000,000 now lie idle IN
the banks and insurance companies Of
this city. Aside from this numerou.
street brokers are well provided with
a fat surplus for which no safe en-
ployment can at present be found.
Rates Of interest continue at from
to 10 per cent, loans being easily com
manded for the inside figure if the
security offered is choice. Solvent
borrowers are scarce, and there is lit
tie or no mercantile demand for loans.
Reports from all leading financial
centers are to the effect that money
was never cheaper or more abundant.
In New York, for example, either call
or time loans are readily secured with
government bonds as security at l to
u per cent. per annum, while on
mixed stocks as collateral rates are
81 to 4c, Prime commercial paper in
the same market is discounted at from
b to 81 per cent. interest.
Exchange has been steady through
the past week, with a liberal offering
of cotton bills on the East. Rates are
steady at / discount for sight on New
York and demand on points beyond,
and ] discount for sight on Boston or
its vicinity. Checks on New York and
New Orleans sell at par. Bills on the
latter are taken by bankers at off.
A frmness is noticed in several
classes of railway bonds. Those of the
Tennessee roads, depressed some time
ago on account of suits entered to re-
cover on bonds issued by the State,
seem to have fully recovered lost
ground. There were sales Of Louis
vile and Nashville railroad stock in
New York last Wednesday at 44lc /;
also st. Louis and Iron Mountain first
mortgage at 110f. In this market bids
of l16 have been made for frst-mort-
gage Mississippi and ~Tennessoes, and
seconds are reported firm at 90c. Gas
stock has improved and last sold at
70; gas bonds, 90; county warrants,
5000 fernando Insurance stock,
III; Union and Planters Bank stock,
105; Bluff City Insurance stock, III /;
