NASHVILLE, October 10, 1893
The weather during the week past, has been de-
ligbdul-a fine specimen of the Indian Summer
To US this has been particularly agreeable, but to
our more southern neighbors, afflicted with the
prevailing epidemic of yellow fever it has been
any thing else.
The river has been slowly receding for the last
two three days, and there are now only thirty
inches on Hsrpeth Shoals Steamboating business
has improved considerably since our last, and the
wharf occasionally presents quite an active scene.
Large quantities Of wheat and -four are going for
ward; and the Memphis Packets having commenced
their trips, give additional activity TO the trade.
Business among our merchants continues active
Our wholesale dry goods houses continue to ind
much as they can do in filling up their bills iroU
customers. Produce dealers are active, especially
those engaged in the wheat and -four trade. In
taking our usual weekly review of the state OF the
market, we fad very little change in prices in the
leading articles Such as we have found We pro
coed to notice briefly
COTTON-The staple comes in exceedingly slow,
and the market is not as yet opened. few sales
of small lots of choice have been made to manu-
facuers, but the prices not fair index Of the
market. Our quotations are entirely nominal The
calculations in regard to the crop, we imagine from
what we hear, are more favorable than heretofore.
COEFEE-The stock in the market is abundantly
adequate to the demand, and prices are less firm
than heretofore We quote Rio at l8alS4, a de-
cline of a fraction from last week.
FEATHERS The demand for feathers has in
creased in the last few days, and prices have ad.
vanced to 32a35c
FLOUR-A speculative movement in -four has
affected prices here to some extent, and We now
quote Tennessee at $65Oa$7.OO.
WHEAT-The transactions of the week have
been quite heavy, aud the receipts continue large,
Prices are frmer, and quote $l.00asllO as the
ruling rates, with an active demand.
GU POWDER has advanced again, and Rife is
nov up to $3.50, and Blasting s. so, addition of
one dollar each brand. The prospects OF a still
further advance are by no means gloomy.
MOLASSES-The stock is ample for the demand,
which is limited, and prices are unchanged. We
believe there is no apprehension Of scarcity in the
market
PROVISIONS-BACoN is unchanged since our
last rrport-recepts have been quite large compar-
ativey speaking, though the demand continues fully
equal to the supply. Butter has declined to l8a
% at wholesale and 25a3O is readily paid in market
for good article, with an excess in demand
over the supply LARD is unchanged. MEAL has
declined TO 3OI40c from wagons, which Is lower
than it has been in this market for two three
years-it is retailing in market at 40c. EGGS are
worth lie from wagons, and l2i at retail
SALT-There is no change in barrel. Sack has
declined to So 90 for hnc, and 81 so for coarse.
SUGAR is unchsnged-stock ample for present
demand
VEGEFABLES-IRs POTAToEs selling at
Doc per bushel wholesale, aud so cents at retail
SWEET PoTAToEs same price.
APPLES are plenty at 5OaSOc per 5ushel
CHICKENS are plenty at lOal2t at wholesale,
and l24al5 in market
For further particulars of the market we refer to
our Price Current.
