Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-01-20

AN f3-IO -
e q sturned extremely cold, the coolest O
the year, and ice was making fast in thI
0 river all day, in consequence Of which
the underwriters Withdrew their permits
or rather refused to take risks on car
goes. This has caused an almost tota
e suspension of shipments, as very larg,
) amounts Of produce and provisions are
being got ready to ship south via the
!. river.
The railroads, however, are In full
operation, though the cold weather has
! retarded trains, and our dispatches an
nounce a great snow Storm New York.
The snow this morning in that city,
along all the roads and rail routes was
two feet deep on a level, and travel and
+ locOmOtion was extremely difficult and
almost wholly suspended.
Under the influence of the sudden cold
I, weather the prices Of various articles Of
} produce, including corn, have q decided
upward tendency. Yesterday the sales
or corn were heavy aud trade brisk, at q
slight decline in prices, and a further de-
cline was confidently expected to-day.
The reverse is the fact, and, instead Of
heavy sales at more favorable rates we
have 70 record rather a dull market at
enhanced prices.
The tenor Of the dispatches favor an
upward turn for cotton, pork and lard,
while in New York round shelled white
corn has suddenly assumed more firm
ness. The receipts of hogs at the two
packing points now in operation, Chi
cagO and Cincinnati, have become very
light, add prices of the product have in
consequence materially advanced. The
gold market has also taken a steadier
upward turn, which naturally tends TO
enhance the currency values of all arti-
cles Of consumption and trade as well as
the current rates Of import.
The sudden cold weather checked out
door business very materially, and the
attendance on 'change was rather mea-
ger, though buyers Of corn and provi-
sions were on the market.
