the entire country, from the Atlantic

business with us is, if anything, less
dull than it is elsewhere. The re-

articles of necessity, which came in

noted that the poultry market is we'll

Our local money market is devoid
of important events. Capital is plen-
tiful, and persons DESTROYS of nego-
tiating loans, if they have solid secu-
rity to offer, experience no trouble in
supplying their needs at the current
rate offs per cent among banks and
insurance companies. But little mer-
camille paper is offered. In the open
market the rate of interest ranges
from 6 to 10 per cent.
Exchange maintains a steady posi-
ton. Eastern cotton bills are dis
counted at to / percent. New York
checks sell at lc premium. On New
Orleans tc off buying and par selling,
are the ruling figures.
Uncurrent local securities are firm
if of a prompt interest or dividend
paying description, and but few are
offered, holders being in the main
well satisfied with their investments.
The present quotable value ranges as
follows: Memphis City Fire and Gen
eral Insurance stock, 744. Bluff City
do, 1900; Memphis gas, 75@76;
Union and Planters bank stock, 10;
State National do, 50; Bank of Com
merce do, 95; Charleston railroad
stock, 5000 Mississippi and Ten
nessee railroad bonds, series A, 123;
do. B., 1O5; Shelby county bonds, 80;
do. scrip, 95@98 Crittenden county
scrip, 20; Mississippi county do, 70.
Railway stocks in the New York
market continue to be a subject Of
moment among spectators and in.
vestors. Since their highest prices of
2 months ago, over $2OO,0OO,OOO of
their then quotable value have been
wiped out, though for two weeks past
they have generally ruled steadier.
The Louisville & Nashville stock
closed last evening at 124, having
touched 125 the day before. For ten
days previous it varied but little,
ranging from 12O to 1913. Nashville
& Chattanooga stock fell off 2 per
cent yesterday, closing at 499. 1t was
up to 126 two months ago. and i. IL
N. reached 1641 about the same time.
The fall makes a difference of over
three and a half millions
between its present aggre-
gate value and that Of its
highest period, while the other has
been reduced close to four millions,
making nearly eight millions differ
ence in the stock value Of the two
roads as compared with their topmost
boom. The wild speculation of New
York stock gamcsters, and the uncer-
,tainty of unstable stocks are fairly
illustrated in these two instances,
though hundreds equally wild might
be cited. Chicago, st. Louis and N.
%. stock is now %, and has been up
to A; Iron mountain is now 388, and
has touched 20.
On the LIST instant the government
began to disburse 81, $50, 900 of semi
annual interest on $3.50, 900, 900 Al per
cents.
Silver in London yesterday was
quoted at 81 3-16d, having recovered
the 1-16d decline of the day before.
The present quotation makes the
American standard silver dollar worth
in this market about SO cents.

=, ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. q, 1879,
Messrs II. II. WARNER IL Co.,
Rochester, n. Y.
Gents: From my own sense of duty.
and upon the advice of friends | have
concluded to offer you a testimonial. pro-
claiming to the world that there Is an
absolute cure for Bright's Disease in iis
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was i've years Of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or ever relief. but
all have pronounced her inourable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different phy-
slcians that we make a trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced il a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came TO Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
Others, were unable to do anything for her
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation
and made some remarkable cures. and en-.
couraged us to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, / came
to your office for that purpose. l took
home two bottles Of your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
It to her according TO directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle. there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
ton; she acquired control Of her urinary
fnctions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized. She
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in Mbout three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured Of what
was regarded a hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. l wish l could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and ten
them as L can not in this letter, that /
know Bright's disease of the worst tyne
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and I
gratefully acknowledge that nv daugh-
ter's life and health Is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,

What we Eat and rink.

There is evidently q stro, suspicion
that the people Of Washingn are to a
grester or less degree substing upon
adulterated food and drinl otherwise
Congress would not feel caed upon to
neglect the wants of the naon and tur"
its attention to the foodan drink
which are used by the irabitants OF
the National Capital. T. Committee
on Manufactures of the Fuse of Rep
resentatives has introduced report and
bill to prevent the sale ( adulterated
articles OF food and drinl within the
District of Columbia. II report is
matter of much interest o those who
are wrestling with dear Ii in this city
and vicinage, as it preser some curious
and somewhat startlingstatistics. 1t
states that six packages coffee in the
berry, bought in Baltinre. were sub
mitted to the chemist the Agricul-
tural Bureau and were found to be
coated with compoun of chrome-a
deleterious substance-,r the purpose
Of improving the aprrance of the
berries and increasing teir market val
ue. Analyses of samps Of what were
called in Washington sood gnpowde'
tea" showed that the were largely
adulterated with Prussan blue, zone
halt" says the report, with only
enough tea to give odr to the COM
pound" In respect I, oleomargarine
the report quotes Geo,e I. Angels
statement, that 100000 pounds of
artificial butter were nde in this coun-
try in 1878, and that he had discov-
cred, in specimens of il fungi and liv-
ing organisms" Mr.. Angel is also
quoted as stating thatluriate of tin, a
poison, had been foundn twelve out of
fourteen samples of sur and syrups.
Now, to the consums of ten, coffee,
syrup and bread and bier in this dis
trict this is grave sutct, for he who
would put Prussian blrinto our "fav.
orite gunpowder," or copound chrome
upon our coffee, or ole0argarine upon
our bread must be Sc down in our
diary as our enemy for fe, and if this
Congress has any respet for the dearest
rights of the American ,itizen, it will
neither sleep nor slumbe until this bill
to pre- vent the sIe OF aulterated food
and drink With, the clt of Washing
ton shall have boone daw. We can
forego our tea, coffee All bread and
butter until thi preventin is provided,
if Congress willtnly hurr up the bill
But for this committee onmanufactures

The Countrrfeiters Wedding
Game.

An interesting little story foated up
from Reno on this mornings train.
Last evening, shortly after eight o'clock,
q stylishly dressed young man, with a
young woman of good appearance hang
ing on his arm, called at the residence
of one of the ministers of the place, and
said he wanted the services of the cler-
gymsn to unite him to the young wom-
an. He did not volunteer any informa-
ton as to where himself or his compan-
ion came from. He produced his H.
cense and requested the clergyman TO
perform the ceremony a. simply and
quickly a. possible. Both evidently
were Of legal age, and the parson at
once tied tho knot. calling in the men,
bers Of his own family as witnesses
When the pair were made husband
and wife, the groom drew a fifty
dollar greenback from fat
looking pocket book and directed the
minister to take $40 from that" His
reverence, with many thanks. took the
bill, and after dil'gent search hunted up
$40 in coin, which he passed to the
bridegroom, who politely wished the
minister and his family good evening,
and walked off with his blushing and
timid bride.
This morning the parson was max ing
tour of the hotels and using somewhat
worldly language. He could find the
happy pair nowhere, and il convinced
that the marriage was . mere trick to
pass q $50 counterfeit greenback on
him. The bill is bogus, and as both
bridegroom and bride have gone none
know whittier, it does look as if some
genius has discovered this new method
Of showing the queer" The awful sim
fulness of the device does not forbid
the reflection that an enterprising young
man and woman could grow rich by
travelling and marrying every hundred
miles or so.-Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.
