Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-07-28

higher, we need not look for anything
like decline. Believing as we do that
this is the time to buy, some Of our dc al
ers have been East making their selec-
tions. Messrs. Goodbar & Gillilsnd have
made theiTSfall purchases, and are daily
in receipt of large accessions to their
stoek-300 cases arriving yesterday.
Those who have bought will, without
doubt, be able to sell at lower rates than
il they had delayed for few weeks, and
we are satisfied that orders can be filled
to-day in this market from 5 to 10 per
cent. below what they can be bought at
by the 1st of September. The Shoe and
Leather Reporter Of the 23d bears US out
in our estimate regarding those who
made early purchases. 1t says CT the
Eastern market:
The larger buyers who were early in
the market this season are realizing the
advantage of their early purchases, as
boots and shoes are assuming firmer rates
from day to day, and advanced prices
are quite frequent for any lines little
short on the market. Manufacturers
have been, and are, receiving orders
freely, and there is every prospect that
the next six weeks will be an active time
in most of the boot and shoe towns ia
this vicinity. There are the usual
amount of complaints about not being
able to sell at prices corresponding to
the cost OF manufacturing at the present
moment, but Notwithstanding this, goods
are being sold and orders accepted read
lily, and good, reliable brands command
a fair profit and sre in sharp request.
-, a.. ~
close Of this week than at our last, and
prices, it will be seen, have advanced.
The low water season which Is coming
upon US will have tendency to advance
prices, owing to enhanced freights
Stocks are generally low, but are ample
for the demand, which we are glad to
see, is much less than it was last year,
and we hope it may grow less, yearly,
until our people make their own hog
and hOmiry.
The wheat market is firm. Our mills
take all the wheat coming in at better
prices than prevail in any other Western
market. We again urge upon our plan
ters to send their surplus to market IS
early as possible, for as sure as two and
two make four present prices will not
long prevail. The immense crops ali
over the North will soon be coming to
m arket with rush, aud before three
months have rolled around we expect to
quote the choicest brands of family -four
at less than $40 per barrel in this mar
ket. Flour is dull, with sales rarely ex-
ceedipg a dray load and at irregular |
prices.
The market is moderately well sup
piled with corn and oats, while hay is
becoming scsrcer though the demand is
very light.
Fruit is in demand for shipment, and |
would be even more so than at present, |
were it not for the rates Of freight upon /
our railroads, which have almost put q
stop TO exports in that way, while there
are not enough packets running to ena-
bic shippers to get rid OF their fruit daily.
The cattle market is about the same as
last week, There are very few teeves of
any Kind in market, and quotations are
irregular. Hogs are also scarce, with no
demand outside that from local butchers.
Sheep are dull, with light stock. Choice
Kentucky and Tennessee are especially
hard 10 find.
