The movement in merchandise,
plantation supplies and breadstuffs is
brisk and trade daily increases In vol
ume. Produce of al kinds shows i'm
proved demand and dealers have been
quite busy during the past week. The
feed market is quiet, with but little
increase in the traffic, the demand
being chiefly off local character. A
continued scarcity of corn is noticed
and the new crop has not yet begun
to arrive. A scarcity Of white corn
prevails in the upper country markets
and an advance in corn meal has re
suited. Meats and sugar incline
downward, while coffee is dull and
weak. Hides are also weak, but no
lower. Flour is firm, though no ad-
vanc. hqs taken place here. Bran Is
higher, while oats are weak, owing to
heavy receipts. Hay is scare, the
market being bare oflots, and prices
are we'll supported. Bagging and ties
arc unsettled and easy. Chickens are
steady, while eggs are firm. We have
had a good week for cotton picking,
no rain having fallen since Sunday
last, and the staple is rolling into our
market at the rate Of two thousand
bales per day aud more. Over ten
thousand bales have been sold here
during the week, but prices are frac-
tion below the quotations prevailing
last Monday.

The Summer SoIs1ice-

One great reason why hot weather
is so facilitating lies in the fact that
the body is exhausted by the labors OF
the year. Indeed, it is natural that
this should be so. In order, therefore,
to resist this tendency to exhaustion
it only becomes necessary to re-invig-
crate the body, which can readily be
done by one or two bottles of Warner
safe tonic. This remedy is being ex-
tensively used by physicians for this
purpose, and is for sale by druggists in
all parts of the world.
Sold wholesale by S. Mansfield &
Co., and W. N. Wilkerson & Co.

MEMPHIS, TENN OCTOBER y, 1851
Gold coin is circulating quite freely,
and as people get used to handling,
they rather like it. The prospects
indicate a large influx of the yellow
metal within the next three months.
The only complaint SO far heard
comes from bankers who find their
profits Of business lessened because it
costs from SOC 81 per thousand more
to bring it here than does paper cur
rency. Our money market is in easy
working position, with a fair merean-
tile demand for discounts aud banks
take all good paper Offering at s per
cent. Little movement is expected in
