MEMPHIS, July 7, 1879.
Two OF last weeks days we're holt
days and the remaining four were not
much better in business circles. Itis
the dullest season of the year in fnan-
cial circles. The only feature of the
slightest interest to money dealers is
the interest and dividends usually set
tied on or about the first of the month.
The government is discussing about
$l7, 00O, COCOON accounted July coupons,
1t is estimated that as much as $780,
100000 will be distributed in this way
during the present month. The rail-
roads are meeting their semi-annual
interest accounts promptly. Among
others the Mississippi and Tennessee.
railroad is paying out some $4,000 as
its half-yearly interest on its second
mortgage bonds. They are now quoted
at "a in the market, against IS a year
ago. The frsts are worth $115 at
present against $40 a year since.
Many of the seconds are held here
and hereabouts, and those who have
not sold their coupons may have them
redeemed at the Union and Planters
Bank here. Two Of u local banks,
the State National and the Fourth
National, have declared four per cent.
dividends, the FIRST amounting to $l0,-
600, the latter to nearly $4,000. No
other dividends have yet been an
nounced, but several are expected.
The money market here and elsewhere
is quiet and easy. Mercantile paper
offers in moderate amounts and loan
able funds are to be had at six pei
cent, with a hardening feeling in
some quarters.
Exchange is unaltercd, rates being
at par for sight bills on New York
and demand bills on New England
points. Sight bills on Boston and Fal
River are &c discount. Checks on al
sold at &c premium. New Orleans
rates par selling and le discount buy,
ing.
Local securities are in the main very
quiet. Shelby county bonds meet
some inquiry at 9O@93c. Government
A per cents sell at S1O2l@ 1O2}, an ad.
vance of ! to &c over New York quo
t%ations. Memphis bonds are quoted
in New York nominSl at 1O@2Oc
Those indOrsed by the Memphis anC
Charleston railroad are 15@25c.
Mexican silver dollars are quoted il
New York at 90@9lc each; American
trades are 983@99s. The latter main
tain a steady position in the marke.
owing to the belief that the bill be
fore congress for their redemption
will be favorably acted upon when i
meets again next winter.
The gross receipts Of the Memphis
and Paducah railroad from Januarv
lst to June 10Th of the present yea
have been published, and show a tOta
of $68, 1893 against $92,450 for the sam.

For sugar.

Most soils suite for corn, potatoes,
wheat, &r., will do for sugar beet, but
the best are light, rich and losmy, those
with large proportion OF clay, If we'll
titled. producing very rich beets.
Select land which has been plowed
one or two years, say in corn or pota
toes, and II it has good coat Of stable
manure during that time, so much tn.
better.
piuw deep in the fall or early ii
the spring if the soil is shallow, bette'
use sub-oil plow, then give it a thor
ough tilling just before seeding, which
will secure the quick spreading Of tht
seed ahead of the weeds. The time oI
planting may be said to extend from
the middle OF June. This information
may b. useful to those intending to Ell
gag" in the sugar beet culture this sea
son.
There will b. good supply of thu
best quality of seed furnished either by
the commissioners Of the State, or tn,
Delaware Beet Sugar Company early
in April. due notice of which will b.
given as SHon as it is ready.
Il is expected that premiums will be
offered this season as was done last
and that there will be a market for al

were startled by it. The rumbling var
heard in South Chester. where il wa:
50 severe that it threw dishes from the
table and at tConcordville. Many thought
at first it was caused by Du Points pow
der mills exploding, hut afterwards
concluded that il was an earthquake.
The shock was distinctly felt also in
the western part of this city, there
b ing two distinct reports o. distant
thunder. 1t was also heard and felt IN

run from southwest to northeast. Tim

THIS M0rning's Court.

The first case before His Honor, May
or Almond this morning, was a young
man arrested yesterday afternoon on
King street. Tn. young man had been
drinking very freely. aud on comlug
down King street he broke lamp IN
front Of Psrry's store, and pushed over
a box OF fish aud several other articles
at Sharp's store, few doors below Par
ry's. The young man did not deny
being drunk, and stated that II was
very seldom he got in that condition,
Fifty cents and cost was the penalty
imposed.
John Stewart who had just been lib
Grated from New Castle Jail yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, was arrested
yesterday afternoon shortly after 2
o'clock, by officer Gibbons. John plead.
ed hard TO get OF this time, plsdsing
his word and honor that he would leave
forthwith. John often makes these
promises, but neglects TO carry them
out He was fined so cents and cost,

son in the audience remarked. Fifty
cents and cost was the fine imposed.
Alfred Smith was arrested this morn

near 18th. The man was walking alonl
Walnut street, swearing at every per
son he met, and creating disturbance
in general. The officer warned hin
not to act 80. but his warnings were o
