MEMPHIS June IL, 1878.
The general condition of the money
market at all points shows a super
abundance of currency in the banks
of the country. The prospective July
dividends, estimated ct between one
and two hundred thousand dollars
here, will increase the amount of UNI
employed capital in the hands Of stock
and bond owners. Interest rates are
reported steady at 6per cent, with a
light mercantile demand for loans.
The situation in Eastern cities, ac-
cording to the financial journals, is
one Of extreme ease in the loan mar
ket, and the supply of money next
month promises to exceed any that
has accumulated for a number of
years past.
A letter from London to the New
York Financial Chronicle, dated May
9th, has the following regarding the
money market there There seems
to be little doubt of a continuance of
an easy money market. The Bank Of
France has reduced its interest rate to
2 per cent, and the tendency in other
directions is towards increased ease.
80
The banks now have a large amount
Of unemployed money, and the
directors have been compelled to
resort to investments in the soundest
home and foreign stocks. Amongst
the latter, of course, United States
government bonds have been chiefly
selected, and these have been rising in
price. All sound securities are now
at a price which yields a small rate Of
interest, and even these are still
diminishing. The bank rate fol-
money is 4 per cent, and in the open
market l4c for 30, 60 and 80 day
bills"
Local exchange is steady at par
buying for Eastern bills without
grace, and &c discount for sight bills
on Boston and Fall River. Checks
on New York sell at lc premium.
New Orleans rates are par selling and
&c discount buying.
The city of Louisville owns 1886
shares of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad stock, worth 81, 175 900 at its
present valuation. The city council
of Louisville has ordered a sale Of thf
stock, the question to be decided by. .
vote of the people to be held August
LIST. If the sale is made the returns
are to be applied to the reducing Of
the city debt. Hardin county, Ky.
and Davidson county, Tenn, also owl
$500 shares of the same stock, which
have been offered for sale. The stock.
holders of the road convene at Louis
Vile to-day and will doubtless discus.
this subject.
Mexican dollars in New York OF
Saturday last were worth 90@92c, anc
