Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-07-28

COTTON-The sales to-day were
light and prices about the same as yes
terday. Holders are not disposed to sell,
and are very firm in their views. Orders
come in quite freely, but are filled only
in few instances, the small quantity of
fine cotton on hand rendering it impOssi-
bic to do so. We quote a good style of
middling at 25c; low middling, % to 24c;
good ordinary, p to DE; ordinary, Is to
zoe, and inferior at from IA to lie. Re
ceipts to-day, 5 bales shipments, 92l
bales. Receipts for the week, 236 bales J;
shipments, 1869 bales.
The Merchants Exchange Prices Cur
rent Of this morning says Of trade and
crop prospects:
The business of the week has been
light and shows little improvement on
the dull routine of the spring and sum-
mer. Symptoms Of a brisk trade in the
fall are daily increasing, however, and
planters and capitalists, as well as mer-
chants and spectators, are now more
generally disposed to look with conf
dence to the future, although late reports
concerning the growing cotton are not
favorable when compared with the pros
poets of a fortnight ago. The worm is
making sad havoc in Texas and Louisi-
ana, and coupled with this fact there are
general complaints Of wet weather and
grass. On the other hand, the corn crop
promises abundantly and may be con-
sidered safe beyond all contingency. The
harvest in the north and west is grand
beyond all precedent, and the entire
country is teeming with plenty, so that
should cotton fail to turn out as well as
expected, there will at least be a healthier
state of commercial affairs and cheaper
living after this season. There is no rea-
son, however, to apprehend that the cot
ton crop will be a failure it eve has
been satisfactory until gathered, and
complaints are always to be expected
from planters, no matter how favorable
the prospects. The corn crop having
been secured, farmers have now more
time to devote to cotton, and its radem-
ton from grass will be speedily accom-
plished, while with regard to the worm.
we have heard little complaint from else.
