FINANCIAL.
The chanjjoj made ly congress in the cur
tency naturally interrupts, for the time, the
even course of financial attain, and there U
necessarily a disposition among business men
to be cautious in tht-ir purchase until mat'
tera have accommodated themselves to the
change, and the course of business under the
new auspices becomes clear. The result is a
halting in affairs, so that the approach of
spring produces a less stimulating effect upon
busings generally than would otherwise
have been tho case. A still more seriously
damaging effect upon traJo is prod need by
the uncertainty cf what further changes con
gress may adopt, for the unknown always in
spires most du-trubt. When to these things
is added the suspense c&used by the war in
Europe, dullness of trade becomes inevitable.
If tho war cloud passes away, and congress
shows no intention to make further financial
changes at present, we may look for improve
ment; but, in the meantime, our spring trade
is injured, as tho fall trade was. Our
own banki fetl, of course, the
dullness that weighs everything down;
money leaves circulation and takes
refugo in tho banks, where a plethora is
threatened, and borrowers arc few, al
though motvy can be had at 8 per cent,
where tho paper is acceptable. Exchange at
ki discount buying, and if premium selling
on New York; New Orleans buying at i
'discount, and selling at par. The New York
bank statement for last ww k shows that the
New York banks are still increasing their
specie reserve, although the amount added
last week was comparatively small. There
was a greater decrease in legal-tender notos,
but there was a large decrease in deposits,
and, by reason of this, tho surplus reserve
was raised f J07,7rO. Secretary Sherman
shows by statements from treasury officials
that both by ti a, tactions between private in
dividuals and between the government and
private individuals, coin certificates are used
now in nine cne out of ten, and not the
actual coin. The New York banks nominally
hold now a coin reserve of $10,000,000, but
the New York Financial Chronicle says that
"tho largest portion of their reported specie
is in the shape of gold certificates." In onr
local stock market there was a salo of $ 2000
Memphis gas stock at 101 , and more was
wanted; also foOOO City insurance stock
at 66.

COTTON.
Tho cotton market was again, yesterday,
under the influence of depressing news,
"dull" and "weak" were tho most frequent
ly occurring words marked upon the black
board of tho cotton exchange. New Orleans
closed easy at the reduction of tho day be
fore; New York was weak from the opening
to the close for spots, but futures at about
previous figures, were farm and steady; Liv
erpool was dull aud easier, the quotations for
middling uplands was reduced below six
pence, and arrivals opened lower and closed
dull. Of course, all this avalanche of evd
oould not fail to affect our market unfavor
ably. Tho demand was fair and ran mostly
on the lower grades, and quotations on all
grades below middling suffered a reduction
of 4C m the table below shows. With this
reduction buying became pretty active from
both exporters and spinners. At the close
there was some irregularity of prices all
along the list.

GENERAL TRADE.
The lone, drv interval was broken up yes
terday, not by torrents, as had been expected,
but by light spring showers that lust met tne
degirea ot those who had sown and planted.
No boat was in from above, and the market
was quiet. There was a firm feeling in corn;
oats were inquired about, and some offered,
but not at prices that would secure buyers;
cornmeal was back to the previous figure:
eggs were better; provisions were steady and
unchanged, with only a moderate demand.
The Nashville Banner, of Tuesday, quotes
butter at 10(g25c; eggs, from wagon, 74c;
spring chickens, 1012.4c each; hens, 15
16c; peanuts, 45 65c; sweet potatoes, from
wagons, loose, (1 75. The St. Louis Repub
lican,' of Tuesday, reports: River freights
unchanged, but not permanent; receipts of
produce increasing; on 'change there was an
indisposition toward anvthine like brisk op
erations for cash or futures, and a tendency
toward lower prices on grain, which, could
hardly have been anticipated in view of the
sustained difference between Great Britain
and Russia; flour stagnant; wheat firm, but
apathetic; corn steady and in good demand;
oats slow and easy; provisions neglected.
Tclmadge Sons, of Charleston, report a steady
market at the recent decline, being supported
by speculators buying to protect themselves.
Corn in our market was in moderate offer
ing and firm; sales of 100 sacks of white at
50c; also 125 sacks of ear at 47.4c and 80
sacks at 43c. Oats were offering at 36c, but
not being Galena, met with no buyers; there
are two fair-sized lots on the market. Bran

117. Com bran sale of a small lot at $11.
