Sales Saturdav 2l5O bales.

Sales Saturday 2l50 bales. To ex-
porters 1900; to spinners 800; to
spectators $50. Sales for the week
$4,000 bales, To exporters $500 to
spinners $500; for speculation 600
bales. The leading feature of the
week has been a large increase in
spinners' orders, several buyers re-
porting a more liberal business than
has favored them during the season.
This is mainly due to the scant stock
Of suitable grades in other interior
markets, where spinners have been
seeking supplies during the past three
months. At the same time, a number
of Eastern dealers have sold Memphis
,eottons short, and are now obliged to
deliver their contri cts. Sales to
exporters show a falling off of 300
bales as compared with last week.
Prices are &c lower than they were one
week ago.
The total stock on hand at all the
United States ports is 832,134 bales,
against 869,943 bales same time last
year and 92l 500 the year before.
The total receipts at all United
States ports for the week ending
Friday was 147 ,542 bales, against IT,
2O2 last week and 117,457 last year.

The money market is dull in all

and three or four fancy stocks or
bonds. Phe new government 4 per
cents continue to attract a large share
Of attention on the part of those hav-
ing surplus capital, and several of our
banks now keep them on hand ready
for immediate delivery, Aside from
these, Mississippi and Tennessee rail
road first mortgage bonds have sold at
$l,12@1.14; also second mortgage
bonds at SOC, and as high as 93c has
been reported. Both are classed as
gilt-edge, or fancy securities. Bonds
of the Tennessee railroad have been
affected by the recent suits entered
against the road on the part of hold
ers of Tennessee State bonds in the
East. Sales thereof have been
checked in consequence.
Our bankers complain of the lack
Of lucrative channels for safe invest
ments of money, and also of the pros
poets for light profits on the seasons
business. The margin of profit, In
deed, promises to be exceedingly limi-
ted in all branches of financial and
commercial business. There is little
mercantile demand for money, and
loans are readily obtainable at rates
ranging from 6 to 10 per cent.
Our tax-collector declines all scrips
and other uncurrent promises, except
county warrants for county taxes, and
Bank Of Tennessee notes for State
dues. Taxpayers not provided with
these must pay in cash. The warrants
are quoted at 80 to $50 in the market.
Rates Of exchange are for cotton
bills on New York and the East,
without grace, &c dicount; and &c dis
count for grace carrying bills on New
England. Rates on New Orleans are
10 off buying, and at par selling,
Checks on New York sell at par.
Silver bullion in London is quoted
at 49bd per ounce by cable, a decline
from Sid within a few weeks. The
money market of Europe continues in
a disturbed and unhealthy condition.

cludes that ''sensationalism is a term
which ought never to be applied
to the manner Of thought belonging
