MEMPHIS Tenn, December p, 1880. !
The prevailing rate Of discounts at
all prominent financial points north Of
the Ohio river is 6 per cent. At New
York it is from 3 to G per cent, the
inside figure being for long loans on
choice collaterals, such as productive
stocks with broad margins, or govern
ments, and the outside rate on call
loans, a slight commission being added
at times. AT Boston rates vary from
A to 6 per cent. AT Philadelphia from
d. to Z per cent, and in western cities
from 5 to Z per cent. Here the rate
is steady at s per cent, with no urgent
demand from any quarter, while the
strictest scrutiny is an ordeal all paper
Offering must undergo. Capital is in
fair volume, though at the present
time there is less Of it unemployed
than was observed a short time ago.

bills, and par selling on both New
York and New Orleans. Bills on the
latter point are bought by the banks
at par.
The usual payments of dividends
and earnings current near and after
the new year, will add, perhaps, a full
hundred thousand dollars or more to
the investment capital here, and these
disbursements are likely to commence
within a few days. 1t is expected this
will havea hardening effect on pro-
ductivo stocks and other investment
securities, all of which ale at present

recently arrived from Europe, and

which only $4,000 are out, are owned
abroad and bear 6 per cent inter

investors at the present time. The

Yorktown Centennial Next OctO-
Der.


Great preparations are already max:
ing for the Yorktown centennial next
October, and as it will close out the
revolutionary celebrations, it will be
the most imposing of the list. The
model Of the monument authorized by
congress has been completed. The
monument is an ornamental COrin-
THAN column, surmounted by a Corin-
THAN capital, upon the top OF
which is a statue OF liberty. The
column has four bands around it at
intervals, and raised stars on the sur
face, representing the states of the
union. A medallion in the center
bears the word Yorktown" At the
termination of the column are thir.
teen female figures in relief, represent
ing the original states. The base Of
the monument is a square block, on
the front face Of which is the follow
ing inscription
On this spot, October 10, 1881, after
a seige of twelve days by $500 Ameri-
can and French troops Of the line,
$500 American militia and 80 French
ships of war, Earl CORVALLIS, com.
mander of the British forces at York
town tnd Gloucester surrendered with
his whole army, 7242 officers and men,
240 seamen, l06 cannon, and "a stands
to General Washington, commander
in.ohief of the combined forces of
America and France; Comte de Ro-
chambeau, commanding the French
troops, and to the Comto de Grasse,
commanding the French feet.
On each side Of the base are inscrip-
tons giving the substance of the
treaties between the United States
and England. On the rear side is the
following inscription:
Erected in pursuance ola resolution
of congress, adopted October 20, 1871,
and an act of congress approved June
z, 1880, to commemorate the victory
by which the independence of the
United States of America was achiey,
ed.
The general effect of the monument
is imposing and grateful, and it has
received favorable criticism from those
who have seen it. The joint ooDgres
sional committee will examine and
decide upon its acceptance.

Col. r. E. Thompson, Representa-

counties, arrived in the city from Leb-
anon last evening, and is quartered at
the Maxwell house. When a Banner
reporter asked him about the all-im-
portant topic, the election ola United
States senator, he replied that it was
impossible for any man to tell who
would. be elected. He thought the
best thing the democrats could do
would be to settle the differences ex.
listing between the two factions of the
party, and harmonic on some good
democrat, who would not be obnoxious
to either wing. When asked how t!is
could be done, Col. Thompson said he
saw only one way to do it, and that
was to divide the offices. In other
words, he said, let the state credit
wing vote for our men and we will
vote for theirs"
