MEMPHIS, TENN, February 10, 1882.

The prominent topics in monetary
and business circles is Tennessee
bonds and cotton. Both seem to be
running race with each other on a
down grade. Bonds closed in New
York last night at 573a5S, fall of
from 16 to 20 within a few days.
Whether the cause of the decline
be the forthcoming decision of
the State Supreme Court, or
manipulations Of spectators, will be
known in day or two, perhaps before
tomorrow night. The cotton specu-
lators are suffering heavily, the major
ity Of those operating here being on
the long, or bull side. 1t appears
rather odd that the majority of deals
are for an advance in price, III face
of the fact that the visible
supply Of cotton is so
much in excess of any former season,
while the consumptive demand is but
little above that of last year. The
disturbed financial situation in Eu-
rope, prospects of a liberal yield Of
cotton in India, and heavy stocks Of
the raw material at all points are
among the reasons assigned for the
present depression in cotton. Many
of those interested here were called
upon to put up additional margins
yesterday, and it is limited that large
sums are involved, some having losses
amounting to as much as $4,000
staring them in the face. AS none but
spectators are interested, but little
sympathy is manifested by those who
only carry on a legitimate trade.
The local demand for money is mod
crate, with discount rates steady at {
to 8 per cent on prime commercial
paper. Exchange is UNMARRIED, bank
ers buying Eastern bills at ! to to dis
count, and Now Orleans bills at ic of
Drafts on New York and Western
cities are sold at lc premium, and oil
Now Orleans at par.
