Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-08-23

to vast proportions. Why Memphis may
not intercept a large share of it, without
detriment to New Orleans, it is difficult
to explain. Surely there has been great
remissness in this matter on the part ola
mercantile community deemed every
where most enterprising, and il is well
that measures are about to be adopted
which assure us that the tobacco trade Of
Memphis in ls69-70 viii be far greater
Than ever before. There will be a meet
ing at the hall of the Chamber of Com
merce tomorrow to consider the ques-
tions to which we have cursorily adj
verted.
Lee Gardner, a Tennesseean, went to
Evansville two years ago and opened a
Tobacco Trade Sales Room. He was
laughed for his alleged folly. When he
sold his first hogshead at auction he paid,
we are told, a carpenter to leave his bench
and become a bidder. Gardner sold last
wear 1000 ~hogsheads, and this year, as We
are advised, he will sell 1000.
There is no reason why all the tobacco
grown in Western Tennessee, and in Ken
/ tuc=y alongthe line OfMemphis railroads,
should not find its primary market in
Memphis.
