Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-07-13


The past week has been one Of intense
heat. In the early part of the week heavy
rains fell, but since Thursday last the sun
has shown out in all its splendor, and the
crops must be benefited very much.
Rains have fallen throughout N-c-t-s

This, too, is said 10 be the case throughout
central and other portions of Mississippi,
while along both banks hence to Vicks-

fears of an overflow this season are all dis
sipated. The late swell in the Arkansas
destroyed a few growing crops toward the
mouth, but the aggregate damage is not
heavy.
Trade remains in much the same condi-
tion rs last week. Occasional spucts o.
aetlNIty occur, generally Of packet days,
but there is no reason to complain, We
think, all things considered. The demand
for supplies, though not large, is steady,
and nearly all orders faI goods, so far, haye
been accompanied blythe cash. Up to this
time but few applications have been made

The Dry Goods market is quiet and pri-
ces are firm. with no material change since
last week. Stocks are fair for the season,
and all dress and staple goods are selling

The Boot and Shoe market exhibits no
new feature of interest. There is a good

wear, bqt no activity Is looked for Entil
the Fall trade opens. Already active
preparations are making forthe Fall cam

have gone East to make their selections
and leave their orders. NTr. Goodbar, of
the well known shoe house Of GOodbar &

The Shoe Reporter says of the Boston
market " Merchants are still here from
the West and South, acquainting them
selves with the state Of the market, pres
ent and prospective. As yet they are not
making very heavy purchases, bat buy
mostly 10 replenish old lots and keep up
an assortment. The Western merchants
have bought a good many heavy goods,
while those from the South are. for the
most part, buyers Of gentlemen's ladies'
and misses Inc work. Our merchants
look fl an increasing activity in the trade
as the season advances. From the gene
raj tone Of feeling among them we are en-
eouraged TO hope that, when prices are es-
tablished they win ie such as T. satisfy
