MEMPAIs. Tenn, August "A, 1885,


But little activity has been noted in
local monetary circles during the past
week. Surplus capital is generally
we'll employed, and its owners appear
to be in an easy, quiet mood, caring
little for miscellaneous securities OF
outside traffic. Commercial discounts
rule stiff at 8 per cent. Exchange
has not varied, and the banks buy
Eastern bills at par to 10. discount,
while they sell drafts on New York at
10 premium, New Orleans rates are
to off buying and par selling.
The money markets of the North
and East are all easy, and capital is
generally plentiful. The New York
weekly bank statement shows an in
crease of the week of 81, 662, 900 in
money, while the reserve fund has in
creased Sl,l47, $50, and the excess Of
cash above legal requirements is
$3,782,3OO. Prime mercantile paper
is 53a6 per cent. At Cincinnati
money is abundant at 6 per cent. AT
st. Louis discounts are 7a8 per cent,
with a good supply Of money, though
The banks have all they can do to
handle the paper offering. AT New
Orleans money is in fair demand, with
rates a little dearer.

Joseph F. Leak, Esq, of Sewer County,
a gentleman well known to the citizens OF
Knoxville, and to the people of East Ten
nessee as well, died early yesterday moning
at Clinton, Anderson County. For several
weeks past he has been confined
to his bed from a low form of
fever, which sometimes excited the hopes OF
his friends, and at others produced cor
responding depression, as to the final re-
suit, and yesterday the conclusion was
reached by the departure of the spirit His
remains will be taken to Sewer County for
interment to-day.
Mr.. Leak, previous to his death, was en-
gagged In the examination of claims, as an
agent of the Quartermaster's Department,
U. s. Army, an employment for
which he was proving himself re-
markably well fitted. His legal education
and rare ability for the investigation of
matters jndiciaily, gave promise that in a
saort tins his reputation in that line would
Be assured. As a member of the bar, he
was growing in favor rapidly, and the citi-
zens of his native county were noting, with
feeling of pride, his advancement in a
career of honor and usefulness. But all
this has been suspended by the inexorable
hand of death, and his relatives and friends
are left to mourn his untimely loss
Mr.. Leak was only twenty-eight years of
age. Rather more than two years ago he
was married to Miss Matte, daughter of
DR.. j. M. Hammer, of Sevierville, and one
child, little girl, is the fruit of this union.
The sympathies of a large circle will go
forth IN the vouno widow in her off1iction
with the hope that He who rules above will
SO temper this Christening, that comfort and

pefior to that of last year, not only
In the number of exhibits, bat in

pations. Interests were represented

dollars. The procession was
nearly three hours i'll passing

ted at from 10000 to $4,000, of
