The business failures of the country
during last week numbered, 147,
against 129 the week before. Ofthese,
Al occurred in the South, 80 in the
West, 40 in the Middle, ID in the
Eastern and IA in the Pacific States.
The latter had gu increase of 5 over
the week before, while the increase in
the South was 4, in the West Z, in the
Middle States 6, and a decrease in the
Eastern States Of 4.
While the exchange market has
ruled active with increased offerings of
cotton bills, the volume Of financial
business has ruled lighter han the
week before, or for the same week
last year, as is evidenced by falling
off Of c%loarings. This was partially
due to the Indictment and rainy wealth
er. The weeks transactions exhibit
a decrease Of $245,484.69, as compared
with the previous week, and Sl7l, 1929
less than the same week last year.
No change Of discount rates is noted,
capital being in ample supply, and the
banks take all strictly prime mercan-
tile paper at 6 and s per cent, and &C
csptable collaterals, when offered as
security, will secure loans at the same
figures.
Rates on exchange are to &c
discount buying, and par selling on
the East, and lc off buying and par
selling on New Orleans.
Government bonds in New York

Cotton.


Under the influence of heavy sales
and l-lGd advance abroad this norm
ing, also a frmness at all domestic
points Saturday evening, our market
to-day ruled stiff with a brisk de-
mand.
Sales OF cotton here last week were
the heaviest of the season, the demand
being active throughout with prices
unchanged but generally firm until
the closing day when all classes adj
yanced to per pound influenced by a
similar advance in New York. Sat

exporters 1900; to spinners 900, clos
inf strong. Tho weeks sales we're
1860 bales; to exporters 5225; to spin

quotations being for low ordinary 73c;
ordinary SIC; good ordinary l0ic;
low middling 10}c; middling 1l5c;
good middling He middling fair lilo.
A feature of the weeks business is
transactions in stained grades the first
of season and at 10 lower than clean
white qualities.
The total receipts of cotton at all
United States port since the first of
September have been 1877 ,4S3 bales
against 269,068 less than last year, also

7O6 against $50 1868 and 574,7l6 last
year and the year before at the same
time.

General Trnde.

The temperature fell to thirty eight
degrees here yesterday morning, and
the first killing frost of the season
visited the vicinity. We had a light
one on the goth Of last month, and two
others on the I'd and Sd inst, but they
were not cold enough to kill. The
Ohio river has opened to navigation
the past week, the first packet to ar
rive being the Gaff, on Saturday.
Free receipts Of produce are now ex-
pected from that direction. The
heavy rainfall here and throughout
the South has swollen all tributaries,
and good navigation now prevails in
White and other streams between
that and the Gulf. The stormy
weather during the week checked
business considerably and stopped
cotton picking. But little cotton now
remains ungathered, the hill lands
being generally cleaned up, while in
the bottoms it will all be saved by the
end of the present month, or about a
week later. This is the earliest known
for many years, and all factors agree
that the crop is from % to 45 per cent
short Of last year, the average for the
entire Memphis district, according to
Cotton Exchange calculations, being
So per cent less than last season. The
markets exhibits moderate change in
values this week. Meats have varied
brt little, somo classes being 10 lower
and others tc higher. The demand
here is now almost wholly satisfied by
dry sailed clear nib pcrk, and traffic is
