Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-06-13
TRADE.

Business was very fair to-day and prices
firm. \ .oodly number OF planters wer,
in town and orders continue to come IN
steadily for Supplies, while stocks gen.
orally are well kept up. Very few deal
ers care about selling staple supplies in
large lots, as the tendency Of prices is
upward and it is not probable that stocks
could be replenished at the rates now pre-
vailing.
The stock of the Memphis Barge Line
having been all taken, we learn that the
COMMITTEES appointed at the late meeting
wni call the Stockholders together on
Saturday next, when the Company viii
b. permanently organized by the election
OF officers. This Company viii be in ope-
ration by the beginning OF the business
season. In connection with this move
ment, we learn that Capt. Henry Smith,
President of the Memphis and V~icksbUrg
Packet Company, has proposed to make
some reductions in freights, but not as
much as our merchants must have, in
order to compete with other points. The
fact is that Memphis must get her freights
at the same rates, prOpOrtionably, as the
Company charges OF through.freights-no
more and no less. If a barrel of flour can
be carried from st. Louis to any point on
the railroads east of US at 40e per barrel,
and the Packet Company can divide the
freight with the Railroad Company, then
our business men justly claim that -four
should be brought to them at zoe per bar
rel. The Barge Line, however, will settle
this question of cheap freights perma-
hentIy, and we can see no other way of
surrounding the difficulty which has 50
long existed.
