MEMPHIs, January %, 1879.
A quiet money market has prevailed
throughout the past week, the de-
pressing and tottering condition of.
foreign finances having no perceptible
influence in the South here or else
where. The dividend and interest
paying season has closed, after distrib-
uting about $120, 600 among the stock
holders of our local institutions. In
spite Of this, however, the stock mar
ket is s~tagnant, persons with surplus
funds to invest preferring, in a major
ity of instances, to put it in govern
ment 4 per cents to that Of the higher
interest though less stable securities
now on the market.
Currency is in good supply, with a
fair surplus among banks and insur-
ance companies, which they would
willingly lend on prime commercial
paper at s per cent. The latter is in
scarce offering, the mercantile demand
for money being exceedingly limited.
Second-class paper is discounted at 10
per cent.
Exchange offers in liberal amounts,
the banks taking New York sight and
New England demand bills at SO Is
per $1,000; sight bills on New England
are } discount checks on New York
are sold by the banks at par. New
Orleans rates are par selling and /
discount buying.
Two weeks remain in which to settle
State or county taxes without penalty.
There has been some inquiry among
municipal back tax creditors, a few
indicating a disposition to settle up
when it can be done to a good advan-
tage in low priced city indebtedness.
The demand for taxpaying scrips, in
Guiding county, State and city, is
therefore good.
Among the stocks and bonds now on
the market are Mississippi and Ten
nessee railroad first mortgage, offered
at III; German National stock at
1O5 gas bonds and stock at prices not
quoted First National Bank stock to
the amount of 80 shares is announced
for sale at public cutlery on the 18th
of February next, it being the prop
crty Of persons who have failed to pay
their respective assessments.

tells US that it is all bosh, this cry that the
wheat is suffering for rain to bring it up.
There is yet frost in the ground, and its
gradual evaporation is giving the seed all
the moisture that is needed. The ground
looks dry, and is dry just on top. But, he
says, wheat will do far better by slow, easy
start, than to have rain to start it suddenly,
and, if heavy one, it will tend to pack the
ground and injure the wheat greatly. Now,
the wheat is starting slowly,.b but is getting
