MEMPHIS, May 3. 1879.
No animation is visible in any
branch of the money market except
for the sale of new government bonds,
which have advanced to 1917 in the
New York market and above 102 here.
The currency supply is largely in ex-
cess, and good commercial paper is
scarce with a request for all that offers
at 6 per cent. discount.
Eastern exchange effers in light
amounts and rates are steady at par
buying for sight on New York and
demand on New England, and dis
count for sight on points beyond New
York. Checks on New York sell at
! premium. On New Orleans rates
are par selling and / off buying.
Our local stocks are firm, with few
of any character offering. Ready buy
ers can be found for all that are re-
garded as solvent and productive as
idle capital is abundant and owners of
it are anxious to invest in anything
that promises to return fair dividends.
County warrants are quoted dull at
80@85c.

Disguised.

The New York Times seems to he
disguised with the frequent introduce
ton into tho house of representatives
by Republican members of extracts
from the 0kolona (Miss.) State. 1t
says The Democratic position is
vulnerable enough to render super
huous the attempt to define it. by IA
reference to the opinions of an ire
sponsible journalistic adventurer, and
the Republican attitude is too strong
to need classification by trying to prove
IRON q country newspaper the exist
ence of designs with which Democrats
in congress disclaim all sympathy. "
The Times adds that Republican
members can find =" ample opportunity
for criticism in the speeches of their
Democratic colleagues without identi-
flying them with the wild talk of a
person who doubtless finds it a paying
speculation to court Hotoriety by such
methods.
